Map inputs on a picture of the stick, catch every bad cell, and install straight to the device.
Organisations working in adaptive gaming and rehabilitation.
Today most people edit a QuadStick profile in Google Sheets, export it with an add-on, and copy it over with a Windows-only tool. The device just reads whatever CSV it's handed, and trusts it completely.
Break default.csv and the USB drive can vanish until you do a physical reset on the hardware. No warning, no undo. Just a controller that stopped showing up.
Every input, output, and function is checked against Fred's own validation data. Install backs up the old file, writes a copy, reads it back, then swaps it in. Overwriting default.csv always asks first.
Click the left tube, the lip switch, or the joystick and see exactly what a sip, puff, or nudge does. The soft variants are right there too, no manual required.
Every mapping is color-coded in the product's own grammar:
The list view knows the real input, output, and function names from Fred's validation data, so you type left_joy_left, not a guess. Add and delete rows without touching a formula.
Which cell, what's off, and how to fix it, in plain English. The bad cell gets a red outline, and errors block the install so nothing broken can reach the device.
Click any problem to copy it straight into a bug report.
The Device screen reads prefs.csv off the QuadStick and gives every setting a real control: a slider with the exact number beside it, a box where it's a flag, a dropdown where it's a list. Each one says what it does, and what the device falls back to when your file leaves it out.
Nothing reaches the stick until you press Save, and nothing you didn't type gets rewritten.
Plug a QuadStick in and the app finds it on its own. While it sends an output, the row bound to that output lights up, in the list and on the picture. Sip on the mouthpiece and the sip row stays lit for as long as the sip lasts.
You can check a binding does what you meant without opening the game.
No installer, no account, works offline (except the Sheets import and Drive backup). Take it from a store, or grab the plain zip for your computer.

QuadStick tar.gz is on the releases page with every other build.
Build it yourself: needs .NET 8, then make run.
Hi, I'm Bassam. A game developer and I built the QuadStick Config Manager because setting up a profile shouldn't mean wrestling a spreadsheet and hoping you don't brick your controller. The QuadStick opens up gaming for people, and the software around it should feel as accessible as the hardware does.
I'm actively maintaining this. If you hit a bug, or there's a mapping the app won't let you make, tell me and I'll fix it. That's the whole reason it exists. You can also find me in the QuadStick developers Discord.
