antimicro
Graphical program to map keyboard and mouse controls to a gamepad
antimicro is a graphical program used to map keyboard keys and mouse controls to a gamepad. It's useful for using a gamepad on PC games that do not have any form of built-in gamepad support. This program can also be used to control any desktop application with a gamepad. On Linux, this means that your system has to be running an X environment in order to run this program. This program currently works with various Linux distributions, Windows (Vista and later), and FreeBSD, but with limited support for FreeBSD and Windows XP. -

DirectInput to XInput wrapper
If you have an older or not supported game controller (gamepad, wheel, joystick, etc.), but XBox 360 controllers are supported you can use this software and enjoy gaming with your controller. 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. -

BikeControl
Do virtual gear shifting (and more) in any rider app
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. -

SDL_GameControllerDB
A community sourced database of game controller mappings
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. The repository encourages community contributions so new or uncommon controllers can be added as they’re discovered and tested. -

Xbox Controller Battery Status
Displaying the batttery level of all XInput (e.g. Xbox) controllers.
The program contains a C++ console application showing all connected XInput Controllers (e.g. Xbox 360 or Xbox One controller) and their battery status. A GUI, written in C#, displays the battery level of the controller of your choice in a tray icon. The GUI refreshes every ten seconds. If you do not like the design of the icons, you can simply replace them by your own version. The C++ programm uses the Xinput 1.4, so it should work fine with Windows 8, 8.1 and 10. -

Controller for Limited Dexterity
Wireless computer game controller for people with low arm mobility.
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. -
