JJManager review
A capable free manager for compatible JohnJohn 3D devices, with macros, lighting and scripts.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
JJManager is JohnJohn 3D’s desktop software for configuring and managing compatible peripherals. It is aimed at sim racers, streamers, gamers and other users of the company’s keyboards, mice and related devices. The app runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, automatically recognizes compatible hardware, and brings device controls into one desktop interface. Its free functionality covers core customization, making it a practical fit for small setups centered on JohnJohn 3D equipment.
The strongest feature set is macro and device control. JJManager supports multi-step actions for keyboard, mouse and text inputs, along with file execution and Bash, Shell, Batch or PowerShell scripts through macros. Users can also customize LED lighting, control audio volume by application or channel, and receive firmware, software and plugin updates from the app. The JJVP-PRO virtual pad adds six macros and three audio channels. SimHub integration further suits users who want to connect the software with a compatible sim-racing setup.
JJManager’s main boundary is ecosystem focus: its verified customization is centered on compatible JohnJohn 3D peripherals rather than a broad mix of third-party hardware. JJManager PRO adds the JJVP-PRO virtual pad and model-specific advanced functions, but it is subscription-based and purchased inside the app. Choose JJManager if you own compatible JohnJohn 3D devices and want cross-platform macros, lighting, audio controls and scripting without an upfront free-tier cost. Consider another tool if your hardware is outside that device ecosystem or if you prefer software with a wider hardware focus.
