I've bought Tegra hardware (nVidia Shield tablet and Jetson) and used to applaud their open source efforts, but screwing their game controller buyers like this makes me regret my decision. Excluding AMD and Intel graphics card owners has made a lot of people extremely displeased.
#NVIDIA SHIELD CONTROLLER GAMES DRIVER#
NVIDIA previously released a driver that was bundled with GeForce Experience and only usable by NVIDIA graphics card users, and also suffered from a variety of issues according to forum discussions. It also emulates a force feedback device for rumble support in both DirectInput and Xinput games, tweaks the input data of the trackpad to make it usable, and adds support for the volume increment/decrement buttons.

This small USB filter driver intercepts and tweaks the HID Report Descriptor to make DirectInput detect it as a gamepad. Support is planned but until then, the new model is already partially supported out-of-the-box by the generic Windows driver. IMPORTANT: this driver doesn't support the 2017 Shield Controller yet.
