The first ever PSVR Aim Controller driver for Windows
Gyro · LED Sphere · Rumble · Full Input Support · Bluetooth
PSVR Aim Driver Emulator brings full PSVR Aim Controller support to PC. It emulates the controller as a DualShock 4, XInput gamepad, or mouse + keyboard — with working gyro, rumble, LED control, and optional PS3 Eye camera tracking for lightgun games. Supports both USB and Bluetooth.
Proof of concept — this demonstrates that PSVR Aim is absolutely viable on PC. PS Eye tracking is experimental and may have limitations due to the age of the hardware.
- DS4 Mode — Full DualShock 4 emulation with gyro/accel passthrough. Best for Steam and games with native PlayStation support.
- Lightgun XInput Mode — Emulates an Xbox 360 controller. Gyro drives the right stick for aiming. Perfect for TeknoParrot and XInput lightgun games.
- Lightgun RawInput Mode — Emulates a mouse + keyboard. R2 = left click, left stick = WASD, face buttons mapped to game keys. Great for MAME, Demul, and other emulators.
- Gyro — The most anticipated feature. Full gyro exposure on PC.
- LED Control — Full RGB control of the controller's lightbar/sphere per mode.
- Rumble / Recoil — Simulated recoil feedback with configurable intensity, duration, and rapid fire modes.
- Bluetooth Support — Works over both USB and Bluetooth.
- PS Eye Tracking (Experimental) — Uses a PS3 Eye camera to track the LED sphere for absolute cursor positioning.
- Windows 10/11 (x64)
- Visual C++ Redistributable 2022 x64 — Required for PS Eye tracker
- ViGEmBus — Required for DS4 and XInput emulation
- HidHide — Required to hide the native controller from conflicting with emulated inputs
- PS3 Eye Camera + PS3 Eye Driver via Zadig + Zadig (optional — PS Eye Tracking only)
- PSVR Aim Controller connected via USB or Bluetooth
- Download the latest release from the Releases page
- Install ViGEmBus and HidHide from the prerequisites above
- Extract the release folder anywhere and launch PSVR Aim Driver Emulator.lnk
USB — Simply plug in your PSVR Aim Controller.
Bluetooth — Hold PS Button + Share simultaneously until the light sphere starts rapidly blinking, then pair from Windows Bluetooth settings.
- Launch PSVR Aim Driver Emulator
- Click Setup HidHide — hides the native controller so it doesn't conflict with the emulated device. Only needs to be done once.
- Select your desired mode:
| Mode | Best For | Input Tester |
|---|---|---|
| DS4 | Steam, PC, PS Remote Play, emulators | Gamepad Tester |
| Lightgun XInput | TeknoParrot, MAME, Demul, emulators | Gamepad Tester |
| Lightgun RawInput | TeknoParrot, MAME, Demul, emulators | Windows cursor |
- Click Start and test your inputs
- Once satisfied, go to Options and enable Auto-start or Start on Windows Startup
Games not detecting input, rumble, gyro, or LED sphere: Add the game as a Non-Steam game via Steam and launch it through Steam. Steam's input layer improves compatibility with emulated devices.
PSVR Aim disconnecting in Bluetooth mode: Forget the Bluetooth pairing on your PC and re-pair. Hold PS + Share again to put the controller back into pairing mode.
HidHide conflicts or native inputs leaking through: Click Reset / Wipe in the HidHide section of the UI, then click Setup HidHide again.
Tunings behaving unexpectedly: Click Reset Defaults (top right of the Test & Tuning tab) to restore all sliders to their original values.

The PS3 Eye camera tracks the colored LED sphere on the controller for absolute cursor positioning in lightgun modes.
⚠️ Requires a PS3 Eye camera with the libusb driver installed via Zadig. Due to the age of the hardware, tracking accuracy may vary.
- Install the PS3 Eye libusb driver via Zadig
- Enable PS Eye Tracking in the UI (only available in Lightgun modes)
- To calibrate: hold Right Stick for ~1 second, then point at each screen corner and pull the trigger when prompted
- Rust (stable)
- Node.js + npm
- Visual Studio 2022 with C++ workload (PS Eye tracker only)
- OpenCV, libusb, hidapi (PS Eye tracker only)
