Key Features:

1. Device Hiding: HidHide enables users to selectively hide specific gaming input devices from the system or certain applications. This is particularly useful for avoiding conflicts between multiple controllers or when using software like virtual input devices (e.g., emulators or custom drivers like DS4Windows).
2. Application-Specific Access: The app allows users to specify which applications can detect certain input devices. For instance, you can hide a controller from all applications except your game, ensuring no other software interferes or mistakenly picks up the device.
3. Simplified Configuration: The user interface is designed to be straightforward, making it easy to manage the visibility of connected devices. Users can add or remove devices from a list, ensuring they are only recognized by the desired applications.
4. Use Case in Gaming: It is especially beneficial in gaming setups involving multiple controllers or when using remapping software. By hiding unused or secondary devices, users can prevent issues like double inputs or conflicts between physical and virtual controllers.
5. Compatibility and Integration: HidHide works seamlessly with popular gaming utilities and software, including Steam, and allows for better management of input devices across various games and platforms.
6. Open-Source: HidHide is open-source, meaning it is continuously updated and improved by a community of developers. This ensures the software stays relevant with the latest gaming peripherals and Windows updates.

Common Use Cases:

• Virtual Controller Setup: Gamers who use software to create virtual controllers can use HidHide to ensure only the virtual controller is recognized by games, preventing conflicts with the physical controller.
• Multi-Controller Management: In setups with multiple controllers (e.g., for co-op gaming or multi-device configurations), HidHide helps manage which controllers are active for specific games, avoiding issues like duplicate inputs.
• Preventing Input Conflicts: By hiding certain devices from the system, users can prevent unintended interactions between hardware and software, providing a smoother and more predictable gaming experience.
