Utterly useless.

What is the point of making an app that you cannot see what you are typing with? Why can’t I paste from the clipboard. Somewhere a team was paid to develop this garbage.

What a complete waste of time and money.

6 years and no update?

It’s been 6 years since NVidea updated this app and I’m seeing double shadows in the text in the app. Please folks, update the app and fix these bugs.

Top marks (needed app)

I am giving this app top marks as this was really, a needed app. I don’t use my controller much as I am not much into gaming. So this is handy as I don’t need to purchase a (almost impossible to find) compatible universal remote again.
