The on-screen display of Seam Controller inputs is a custom program I threw together in a day.  It needs a some improvements before it can be released for public use.  You should notice in this video a few improvements such as better track pad usage rendering.  There are crude gyro data displays but I turn them off because I am not using that feature of the controller in this game.

Getting the controller to work with this game was a bit of a struggle, but there were a few reasons for it:

1. The game has no pre-existing configurations from other users.
2. The game is one that can't handle using gamepad and mouse/KB at the same time dropping most input when both are used.
3. The game wouldn't switch to a different XInput controller if the one that was plugged in when it started was removed.
4. For some reason some of the XInput binds just refused to work.
5. The way the game uses the mouse to aim feels weird to me, though it might be common for twin stick shooters.

I did eventually get the controller working with the game but it took a while.
