Stay in flow
One controller. Five ways to move faster.
ControlDeck maps the physical language of a controller onto the moments that matter in an agentic workflow.
Touch + pointer
A touchpad for the in-between
Scroll and swipe without reaching for the mouse. Tap to see your current mappings, or hold to switch apps with the right stick or D-pad.
Physical feedback
Status you can feel
Light, haptics and sound carry Codex task state into your hands: thinking, complete, needs input or error.
Controller voice
Talk, don’t type
Tap for hands-free dictation or hold for push-to-talk using the controller microphone and Codex’s native transcription.
16 smart profiles
Every action, remappable
Put your highest-frequency Codex, browser, media and macOS actions exactly where muscle memory expects them.
Built for the moment
Capture it. Mark it. Keep moving.
Select a region, annotate it and copy or save it without putting the controller down.
Screen captureR2 · Every profile
Select it. Mark it. Keep moving.
Hold R2 from any profile and steer with the left stick to select an area. Release to copy the original and open a focused editor—without putting the controller down.
Also tucked awayOptional gyro gestures and a Tilt Run motion playground live under advanced setup.
From connection to completion
Setup once. Then let muscle memory take over.
Connect
Pair over Bluetooth or plug in with USB. ControlDeck detects the controller, transport and battery automatically.
Map
Start with a purpose-built Codex profile, then place every action exactly where your hands expect it.
Ship
Dictate, navigate tasks, review changes and feel when Codex needs you—without constantly returning to the keyboard.
Made for macOS
Everything important, in one place.
See your controller, active profile and recent Codex tasks at a glance. Mappings and setup stay close by.
- Profiles switch with the app in front
- Remap buttons, touch and pointer controls
- Capture and annotate from the controller

See what Codex is thinking
Blue means ready. Purple pulses while Codex thinks. Green confirms completion. Haptics and optional sound cues keep the workflow legible even when your attention is elsewhere.
Ready for the rest of your Mac
Codex first. Your whole workflow close behind.
ControlDeck notices the app in front and switches mappings automatically. Codex gets the hero treatment, backed by fifteen ready-to-use profiles for the work around it.
