A utility that allows binding keyboard buttons to virtual Xbox360 controller joystick outputs. Makes use of ViGEmBus and ViGEmClient. Keybinds are easily customizeable within the app's UI.
Built specifically with Hollow Knight speedruns in mind.
First, you must install the ViGEmBus driver. This is necessary for the controller emulation to function.
Then install and run the OverBind installer from the Releases page.
The following are the recommended instructions for setting up the appropriate permissions to allow OverBind to access your input device.
- Create file
/etc/udev/rules.d/99-uinput.rules - Paste contents into file
KERNEL=="uinput", GROUP="input", MODE="0660". This grants permission to read and write to your input devices to anyone in the "input" group. - Run command
sudo usermod -aG input $(whoami). This adds the current user to the input group. - Create file
/etc/modules-load.d/uinput.conf - Paste contents into file
uinput - Restart computer
- Set your device in the overbind settings in the "Input Devices" dropdown.
Overbind is written in Rust and uses the Tauri framework. To build OverBind, you will need to install the following dependencies:
Launch dev mode with npm run tauri dev and build with npm run tauri build.
