Xbox Copilot

[OGTK423]

Is DS4Windows able to support anything like Xbox's Copilot?

Copilot links two controllers so that you and another player can use them as if they were a single controller. This can be useful when one player needs assistance with their console.

Essentially looking to control one game with two controllers with the game recognizing both inputs as coming from the same controller.

No. There might be a few valid uses cases for having multiple devices being mapped to one output controller; technically the JoyCons already operate as such since Windows sees each side as a separate input device. The code behind getting two JoyCons mapped to one Xbox controller is very messy and specific to the backend classes. I have thought about maybe adding the capability to my other mappers but I have not thought of a way to get it done cleanly there either; JoyCon support was just recently added in the DS4MapperTest project.

I do not see mapping multiple general input devices to one output Xbox controller being possible in DS4Windows ever. I doubt I will get it figured out for other mappers either.
