VSCView

The Steam controller has been available for a while now, and its unique design has won it many fans among gamers. However, it can be difficult to find software designed with this device in mind, such as applications that display live input from the gamepad.

VSCView is an open-source utility that can be helpful for both testing your device and displaying live input for viewers when streaming or recording videos. It is a pretty basic piece of software at present, but it is very easy to use.

While you do need to make sure the right version of .NET Framework is available on your PC, nothing else needs to be installed before using the application. Just unpack the archive and launch the executable file.

No data is stored anywhere else on your drives, so you don’t need to worry about anything being left behind. However, your preferences aren’t saved either, so you need to configure it again after every launch.

Once you’ve launched VSCView, you need to right-click somewhere in the main window and select one of the available themes. The window can be moved around freely, but it is not possible to resize it.

A model of the Steam controller is displayed, and the top buttons and triggers are shown separately for better visibility. Any input will be visible in the application window, and you can also change the default background color.

It is important to note that this is an early Beta release of VSCView, so there may be other features in the works. At present, the application offers limited functionality and customization options, but it can still prove helpful for Steam controller users.
