Couch Controller

About

Turn any game controller into a remote for your browser. Couch Controller lets you kick back on the sofa and control web video, scrolling, and tabs with an Xbox, PlayStation, or any standard gamepad — no keyboard or mouse needed.

PLAYBACK
• Play/pause, mute, volume up/down
• Seek forward/backward with the triggers or D-pad
• Playback speed up/down
• Toggle fullscreen (video or whole window)

BROWSING
• Scroll pages with the analog stick, jump to top/bottom
• Switch, open, close, and reopen tabs
• Browser back/forward, reload
• Virtual cursor with controller click
• On-screen keyboard for typing searches with the controller

FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE
• Rebind every button to any action
• Combo bindings — press two or more buttons together for a separate action, e.g. LB + RB to open a new tab
• Open a specific site with one press or combo, e.g. netflix.com in a new tab
• Custom key press bindings — make a button type any keyboard key (great for site shortcuts like YouTube's "c" for captions)
• Tune scroll speed, seek step, volume step, stick deadzone, and the on-screen HUD

An on-screen HUD shows feedback for every action so you always know what happened.

GOOD TO KNOW
• The controller drives the tab that has focus; Chrome's own pages (settings, new tab, Web Store) can't be controlled by extensions
• Works with any controller the browser recognizes (Gamepad API)
