## What chiaki-ng is

According to its README, chiaki-ng is an PlayStation Remote Play client and the next generation of the original Chiaki project, which is in maintenance mode. It is free to use.

## Where ConsoleMouse comes in

A Remote Play client shows the console picture and passes controller input to the console. Aiming with a mouse in a shooter or open-world game needs one more step: turning mouse movement into stick input, tuned per game. The README we read does not describe that step. chiaki-ng’s current documentation is the place to check what it offers today. ConsoleMouse makes that step its core feature.

## Built on open ground

chiaki-ng is licensed under the AGPL-3.0, as the licence file in its repository shows. ConsoleMouse’s connection engine builds on code from that lineage and keeps the same licence. The app’s interface is a separate program.

ConsoleMouse is independent of the chiaki-ng project. If a controller and chiaki-ng already do what you need, that’s a fine setup.

## Frequently asked questions

**Is ConsoleMouse a fork of chiaki-ng?**

Its connection engine builds on code from the Chiaki family under the AGPL-3.0. The mouse and keyboard translation, the profiles and the interface are our own work.

**Does chiaki-ng work with a mouse today?**

That depends on your setup, so check the chiaki-ng documentation. The README we read does not describe mouse-to-stick translation with profiles.

**When can I get ConsoleMouse?**

ConsoleMouse is coming soon to Steam for Windows, Mac and Linux, at the launch price of EUR 9.99. Wishlist it now. The Raspberry Pi version is coming soon to Steam too, only on consolemouse.com.
