Known devices get known-good defaults

FFB-Bridge identifies the device and selects its validated input, force output, effect rendering, and safety policy automatically.

Managed across platforms

MOZA AB6 · AB9 · AY210

AB6, AB9, and AY210 are confirmed supported and working with cross-platform managed configuration. Effect-specific evidence remains device- and backend-specific.

Not on the list?

FFB Probe is the companion tool.

A free, standalone diagnostic that reports exactly what your force-feedback device can do. It's how unlisted joysticks get characterised — and how the validated list grows.
