Frequently asked questions
Which consoles work?
PS5 and Xbox.
Which computers work?
Windows 11 (64-bit); macOS 12 or newer, Apple chip or Intel; a 64-bit Linux with Steam; and Raspberry Pi. An older computer is enough, because the app only forwards your input. PC Play may need more.
Do I need a capture card or an adapter?
No. No adapter box, no capture card. ConsoleMouse sends controller input over your home network.
What is the difference between TV Play and PC Play?
In TV Play the picture stays on your TV. In PC Play the picture shows in a window on your computer. On Windows, PC Play can also use FSR 1 on any graphics card, plus NVIDIA RTX Video and RTX Video HDR if you have an NVIDIA RTX card. The Raspberry Pi version uses TV Play.
What do 4K and 120 fps mean?
This works in PC Play on Windows. 4K is upscaling: FSR 1 or NVIDIA RTX Video scales the picture up on your computer. 120 fps is frame generation: PC Play adds in-between frames, made from the 30 or 60 real frames your console sends. Frame generation adds a little delay. TV Play does not use these settings.
Where do I get ConsoleMouse?
Wishlist ConsoleMouse on Steam for Windows, macOS and Linux. The Raspberry Pi version is sold only on consolemouse.com.

The launch price is EUR 9.99 on Steam. Steam shows the price in your currency. The Raspberry Pi version costs €14.49, paid once (launch price €9.90 until 24 November 2026). There is no subscription.
Does GTA VI work?
Yes. GTA VI works from day one. ConsoleMouse ships with a GTA VI profile for PS5 and Xbox. A tuned profile is coming after launch.
