How to use?

After installing It will initiate automatically every time you start Windows. To configure: right-click on the JoyXoff icon located in the system tray and choose Settings option.

The Virtual Keyboard

arcade-style makes it easy to use in applications where you need to enter some text.



Or you can use the Xbox One themed plain virtual keyboard.



By default, can be displayed/closed by pressing the    button.

If you want to rebind another button to display the virtual keyboard, open the Settings window, select Profiles from the vertical menu and click the Edit bindings (Desktop) button. In the binding window that opens, right-click the button you want to bind and choose the JoyXoff > Show Virtual Keyboard option. The same can be done in the process profile individually.
Similarly, you can rebind another button to close the virtual keyboard: under Profiles click Edit bindings (Virtual Keyboard), right-click the button you want to bind and choose the JoyXoff > Close Virtual Keyboard.

Profile bindings are automatically disabled when a program is running in full screen mode.
By default, to enable/disable bindings, press and hold:  +  .

How to turn off the Xbox 360 wireless controller?

By default, to turn off a wireless controller, press and hold the    button until the confirmation window appears asking if you want to turn it off. Confirm by pressing the    button.



Steam users can also create their own bindings in order to avoid conflict with the    button to use it with the Big Picture.

If you want to bind another button to turn off the controller, open the Settings window, select the Profiles option in the vertical menu and click the Edit bindings (Desktop) button. Right-click the button you want to bind and choose JoyXoff > Turn off controller (Xbox 360) option. The same can be done in the process profile individually.

Does it work with Playstation controllers?

JoyXoff only works with XInput-compatible controllers.
If you want to use Playstation controllers, install an Xbox 360 controller emulator like the x360ce. In this case, rename the generated file xinput1_3.dll to xinput1_4.dll and copy it to the JoyXoff installation folder.

Why did it stop working on UAC prompts and sign-in screen?

For security reasons, the User Interface Privilege Isolation (UIPI) restricts system interface to LocalSystem.
To use JoyXoff under these circumstances, in the Settings window, enable the Run on UAC prompts and sign-in screen option and click Ok. JoyXoff will be restarted for the changes to take effect.

Where does JoyXoff store its config file?

All the files are stored in "%ProgramData%\Joyxoff" or "C:\ProgramData\Joyxoff".
ProgramData is hidden by default. If you are unable to see this location then please follow the instructions provided by Microsoft to show hidden files: https://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files#show-hidden-files
