    Sorry, I’m just imagining you in a heated battle and the wheelchair losing connection and immediately reverting back to controlling itself and thus flinging you around. ;-)

    Have you looked at Steam Input? You can do a ton of stuff with it, maybe even combine multiple controllers. You can even use it with none-Steam games by adding the executable to Steam. It only has problems with flatpaks.

    Or maybe look people working on Joycon support. I think they are technically two controllers that you would sometimes like to act as one.

      I know in steam you can set the order of controllers (player 1, 2, 3, 4) but I can’t remember if you can set controllers to the same player.

      At any rate you can map both controllers to output keyboard commands and then have the game receive input from mouse and keyboard and then the game will think it is receiving input from only one device.
