Documentation
Getting started with Elixir
Install the app, connect your controller, and pick where your input goes.
Install
- Download the installer for Windows.
- Run it and follow the prompts. Elixir needs administrator rights to talk to controllers at a low level.
- Launch Elixir from the Start menu.
Check the system requirements first. Windows 10 64-bit is the minimum.
First launch
The first launch needs an internet connection to finish setup. On an NVIDIA RTX card, Elixir offers the optional NVIDIA acceleration pack. It downloads inside the app and takes about 4 GB.
The first time the pack runs, it builds an optimised engine for your GPU in the background. A notification tells you when it's done; you can keep using the app meanwhile.
Connect a controller
Plug your controller into the PC over USB or pair it over Bluetooth. Elixir picks it up automatically and shows it in the title bar.
| Controller | Connection | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| DualSense | USB, Bluetooth | Gyro, touchpad and haptics pass through |
| DualShock 4 | USB, Bluetooth | Gyro and touchpad pass through |
| Xbox Series / One | USB, wireless | Rumble passes through |
| Keyboard & mouse | Any | See Keyboard & mouse below |
Pick an output
Choose where your input goes from the output setting. You can switch while the app is running.
- PlayStation: PS5 and PS4.
- Xbox: Series X|S and One.
- PC: appears to Windows games as a standard XInput controller.
- Remote Play: streams the console to your PC. See below.
Remote Play
Remote Play streams your PlayStation or Xbox to the PC, and Elixir sends your input back over the network.
- Turn on remote play in your console's settings.
- In Elixir, set the output to Remote Play and pick PlayStation or Xbox.
- Sign in and select your console. The stream opens inside the app.
Delay depends on your network. A wired connection to the console works best.
Profiles
A profile holds your button map, stick curves, deadzones and trigger settings. Create as many as you like, mark favourites with the star, and switch between them with a key bind.
Stick curves
Shape each stick's response by dragging a bezier curve or placing points. Changes apply live, so you can tune while you play.
Keyboard & mouse
Elixir turns keyboard and mouse input into controller input for the console. Mouse movement drives the right stick; every key can be bound to any button. Keep separate keyboard & mouse profiles for each game.
Themes
Pick a theme under Config. The look on this site is the dark theme: flat, achromatic, one corner radius.
Troubleshooting
The controller isn't detected
Try another USB port or cable, and close other apps that read the controller, such as Steam Input.
Notifications are noisy
Open System settings to turn off all notifications, or only the kinds you don't want.
