Controller variations

Older version of controller has been released in 2015. It's larger and heavier, has physical volume control (2 buttons), capacitive touch buttons for NVIDIA home/back/start and below thumbsticks it has clickable touchpad which emulates mouse. Official drivers are disabling rumble support and require Nvidia GPU.

Use with PC platforms

Windows

Connecting the controller should automatically download and install latest drivers for the controller.
Custom application reWASD lets remap whole controller and works on Windows 7 or newer. Software gives advanced customization options eg. reassigning buttons to keyboard or mouse actions, macros, activate custom modes etc.

reWASD

Enables rumble support.
NVIDIA button, Back button, Start button and Home button can be remapped.
Allows emulate virtual DS4 controller to play PS4 Remote Play or PS Now.[1]
Allows emulate virtual Xbox 360 controller to play XInput compatible games.
Not free of charge. 14-days trial.
Volume control touchpad cannot be used yet.
Custom configs for Nvidia Shield Controller can be found in official Community Configs Library maintained by reWASD users. It's placed in Stadia/Xbox Series X/DualSense filter.

Linux

This controller is "Plug and Play" on most distributions of Linux.
Xboxdrv is an alternative to the stock driver and allows many configuration options.

Steam

Can be recognized as Xbox 360 controller but after manual reassignment. Controller cannot be found in Supported Controller Database, so Steam recognizes it as standard DirectInput device.
Not capable of making full use of Steam Input. Blue LED is not configurable and additional buttons are not visible in configuration menu. Slider is not supported.

Steam Link compatibility

Works without any drivers on any operating system that supports Steam.
Can be used just to send input from a controller to a PC. Go into Streaming options, hit 𝗬 and disable video and audio streaming.
Won't work great unless you connect it to LAN or a low latency Wi-Fi.

Support in games

PC games that support the XInput standard are supported.

Games with touchpad support

For a list of games, see List of games that support touchpad.

Touchpad, known as slider is placed on the front of the controller between analog sticks, the capacitive type touchpad is a non-clickable 1-point touchpad. The functionality of the touchpad can differ from between games but usually controls volume. Recognized gestures: scroll.
There is no software which allows to remap controller's touchpad.

Games with microphone support

Games with implemented voice chat are able to use controller's microphone, but microphone support for Nvidia SHIELD Controller is not implemented yet.
VoiceBot and VoiceAttack allows to control games and applications by voice commands.
