Gamepad to Keyboard is a free, open-source Windows app that maps any game controller or joystick to keyboard keys and mouse clicks. Use a gamepad to play keyboard-only games, emulators, browser and retro games, or control any Windows program with a controller.

Works with Xbox, PlayStation (DualShock 4 / DualSense), Nintendo Switch Pro and generic USB or Bluetooth controllers - no drivers, no virtual controller, it just sends real keystrokes.

FEATURES
- Remap every button, bumper, trigger, D-pad and analog stick to any key or a left / right / middle mouse click
- Unlimited profiles with instant switching and ready-made presets (WASD Shooter, Retro / Arcade, Move + Mouse)
- Live on-screen controller that lights up as you press, plus a global F8 on/off hotkey
- Single portable EXE, no ads, 100% free and open-source (MIT)

A lightweight free alternative to reWASD for controller-to-keyboard mapping.
