About this tool

I started out making this tool because I found that all the alternatives to display gamepad input were too much of a hassle to set up or simply weren't customizable enough to my liking. After a while, I realized that other people could benefit from the tool I made, and ever since I've been updating and extending the original features. I started out with only the Xbox 360 skin and since then I've added several skins, the ability to create custom skins, scaling, input delay and many more features.

Thankfully, this is all possible due to Marcin Wichary's Gamepad.js and Tester.js libraries, which I've modified for my own purposes.

This section contains documentation of each URL parameter. If you'd like to generate your own custom URL, please visit this page.

Please select the controller to use as a mapping base. None Player 1 Player 2 Player 3 Player 4

All the currently served skins are made by me. I usually make them in my spare time when I'm not working on the site itself. I also will usually make them to take care of the demand for a certain skin. I don't get paid to offer this service to all of you, and I know some of you have been wanting skins made for some fairly obscure controllers, so as of right now you can adopt a skin! So, what does it mean to adopt a skin? Well, the perks are as follows:

• You get a "thank you" link under the Donations page
• In the upcoming Skin Showcase, you'll have an "Adopted by" next to the skin, also with your link of choice
• You get a copy of all the CSS and Assets for that skin to do with as you please
• The files will be hosted on this site for easy access and use

While there are perks, there are also some stipulations, which are listed below:

• The skin will be available to all users. This is why it's called "adopt a skin", although if you like, you have the option to exclusively use it for a MAXIMUM of 1 month.
• As not every skin is the same, I can't really place a flat price on all of them, but the baseline pricing is $25.
• Adopting a skin is a commitment, both on your part and mine. It takes time and vast amounts of effort for me to make these skins to the standard of quality I place. Because of this, the payment process will consist of 50% of the cost up front, and the other 50% at time of delivery. If you back out or decide not to pay the last half, I am entitled to keep the initial payment as a severance charge.
