Welcome to the companion wiki!

We will try to keep this page updated with useful information

OS Support information

Mac

This is the most tested version. It should work without problems.

Windows 7 and up

It works fine in Windows too. At the moment there is a few cosmetical problems with the windows version. But all functionality is there.

Linux

To be able to use Companion in Linux without running as root (it is not recomended to run companion as root), you need to add a udev rule.

These rules needs to be added in /etc/udev/50-companion.rules with the following content:

SUBSYSTEM=="input", GROUP="input", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0fd9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0060", MODE:="666", GROUP="plugdev"
KERNEL=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0fd9", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0060", MODE:="666", GROUP="plugdev"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="ffff", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1f40", MODE:="666", GROUP="plugdev"
KERNEL=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="ffff", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1f40", MODE:="666", GROUP="plugdev"

When you have done this, you can either reboot, or disconnect the devices and run

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules

before reconnecting them.
