PadVolt is a fast, free and lightweight gamepad to keyboard mapper for Windows 10 and 11. It turns any controller (PlayStation DualShock 4 and DualSense, Xbox, or a generic USB or Bluetooth gamepad) into keyboard keys and mouse actions, so you can play games that do not support controllers and control any Windows app with a pad. The D-pad and left stick map to W A S D, face buttons to jump or interact, and triggers to mouse clicks. A global F8 hotkey toggles mapping on and off instantly. PadVolt is great for old and indie games, strategy, MOBA and MMO titles, idle and clicker games, browser games, emulators and retro classics that only read keyboard and mouse. It needs no drivers and installs nothing into Windows - a tiny portable app with no installer, no ads and no telemetry. Free and open source (MIT); source code on GitHub: https://github.com/g5V73JuR88/gamepad-to-keyboard . Download the latest Windows build and play any game with your controller.
