Settings & AI Dictation

Everything you can configure in Ultragrip, from input feel to AI-enhanced voice dictation.

Input Settings

Open Settings from the app titlebar to adjust how your controller feels.

Stick Deadzone

Sets how far a thumbstick must move before Ultragrip registers input (0-50%). Raise it if your cursor drifts on a worn controller; lower it for finer control.

Trigger Threshold

Sets how far you must press R2/L2 to activate them. Tune this if push-to-talk triggers too easily or requires too much pressure.

Feedback

Toggle haptic feedback (vibration on supported controllers) and sound feedback for action confirmations.

Startup Behavior

Choose whether Ultragrip starts minimized and whether it launches automatically when you log in.

AI-Enhanced Voice Dictation

Hold R2 to speak, release to send. Ultragrip transcribes your speech, then uses Gemini to clean it up and adapt it to your active window (your editor, terminal, or browser) before typing it into the focused application. Dictation needs an internet connection.

Your Own Gemini API Key

Available on every plan, including Free. Paste your Gemini API key in Settings, validate it, and pick a model. Your key is stored locally on your machine and calls go directly to Google.

Get a key from Google AI Studio, then enter it under Settings > AI.

Ultragrip Pro (Hosted)

With Pro (€4.99/month) you don't need an API key. Dictation requests go through the Ultragrip backend, with managed keys and rate limits.

Pro also unlocks all tool profiles, mode switching, and priority email support.

Model Selection

Choose which Gemini model handles enhancement in Settings > AI. The faster models keep dictation snappy; the larger models handle complex technical prompts better.

What About Custom Mappings?

Button mappings in Ultragrip are curated defaults, designed and maintained per tool (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, Terminal, Custom). In the current version they are read-only: there is no mapping editor and no user-editable config files.

If a default mapping doesn't fit your workflow, tell us at support@ultragrip.dev. Mapping requests from users directly shape what we ship in updates.
