Open Source Mac Game Controller Software

BikeControl is a cross-platform tool aimed at enabling control of trainer apps (cycling/indoor training apps) using hardware controllers such as bike shifters, dedicated remotes (e.g. Zwift Click, Zwift Ride, Zwift Play), gamepads, or even generic Bluetooth HID devices. Instead of connecting to the trainer directly, BikeControl acts as a bridge: when you press a button or lever on your controller, it intercepts the input and simulates corresponding keyboard/mouse/touch events for your trainer application. 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.

An easy-to-use tool to change the behavior of your input devices. Supports X11, Wayland, combinations, programmable macros, joysticks, wheels, triggers, keys, mouse movements and more. Maps any input to any other input.

Map joystick buttons to keyboard keys, to steer in GTBikeV with any (unsupported) joystick. Uses Python Windows joystick API and sample code from How to generate keyboard events in Python? If your joystick has an analog stick you may prefer using x360ce for steering. You can still use joy2key to enable/disable auto drive and change radio station, just leave buttons 3 and 4 unmapped in x360ce.

All your PC games no matter where they're from. On all your screens at home and on the go.

dx (A)xis (C)ontrol (E)dition is a directinput and xinput API wrapper utility that modulates the input of game controller devices with the objective of getting better control.

Game controller prototype project

The computer game controller is an adaptable solution for somebody who can not use a keyboard and mouse comfortably. The user can control the computer by simulating keyboard presses and mouse clicks by pressing large buttons and using a joystick. These interfaces are more user friendly for somebody with low arm mobility. Given the large number of keys needed to play a game properly and the limited space on the armchair a solution was to set up nine select-able keys displayed on a screen where a joystick controls which button is highlighted, when the user presses an action button the key that is highlighted will be pressed on the computer. The controller's display first shows a menu screen where nine different profiles can be selected. These profiles hold different key presses for the game and other special features. For example Alien requires the left and right mouse buttons to be held together, this is done using one of the nine keys on the display.
