SDL_GameControllerDB is a community-maintained database of game controller mappings designed to be used with the SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) library’s Game Controller API for both SDL2 and SDL3. Because many controllers report different axes and button layouts depending on platform and manufacturer, this project provides a large text database (gamecontrollerdb.txt) that maps those raw inputs to a standardized layout for consistent use in games and applications across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and other SDL-supported systems. Developers simply include or load the database file at runtime and call SDL’s API to add mappings, which enables out-of-the-box support for controllers that would otherwise behave unpredictably. ...

...This allows you to perform actions like virtual gear shifting, steering, changing workout intensity, controlling music, etc., even if the trainer app doesn’t natively support those controllers. It works on different platforms: on Android, it uses the AccessibilityService API to send simulated touches to whatever app window is active; on desktop (Windows/macOS), it can emulate key/mouse input via configurable keymaps so users can tailor controls.

...It is tested to work on Windows and Linux, but on Linux custom udev rules are required, e.g. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Steam_Controller#Manual_udev

...XOutput is a software that can convert DirectInput into XInput. DirectInput data is read and sent to a virtual XInput (Xbox 360 Controller) device. XInput is the new standard game controller input on windows, and DirectInput can no longer be used with Universal Windows Platform software, but with this tool you can use DirectInput devices as well.
