BenjaminLSR

BenjaminLSR is an independent developer focused on making Windows-based handheld gaming devices behave more like purpose-built consoles. Under the GitHub alias Valkirie, the publisher maintains Handheld Companion, a lightweight background service that re-maps built-in or attached controllers, translates inputs across XInput and DirectInput APIs, and exposes granular dead-zone, sensitivity, and gyroscope settings through a clean desktop interface. Typical use cases include turning an Aya Neo, GPD Win, or OneXPlayer into a seamless Steam Big Picture machine, forcing older games to recognize modern paddles, or disabling accidental Home-button presses while streaming. The same codebase can also run on everyday laptops when a Xbox, PlayStation, or Switch Pro controller is paired, giving users a vendor-neutral alternative to manufacturer utilities. Updates arrive as signed MSIX bundles that install side-by-side with existing drivers, and profiles can be exported for community sharing. BenjaminLSR’s software is available for free on get.nero.com; downloads are pulled from trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always deliver the latest release, and support batch installation alongside other applications.
