Mapping a joystick to WASD or arrow keys turn it from an analog input to a digital one, which can be less responsive, but you can configure the dead zones and other settings by clicking on the “L Stick” button in the middle. If you press the buttons on your controller, it should light up the button in AntiMicro, so you won’t have to worry about figuring out which one “Button 14” is. You can click any of these to set a mapping to any keyboard key, or the mouse. So long as your controller is connected, you’ll see this screen laying out all the sticks and buttons. It also works on Linux as well.ĭownload the latest release from Github (or the portable version if you don’t want to install it) and open it up. There are a couple of good commercial options out there, most notably reWASD, but AntiMicro is free, open source, and does its job just as well.
On macOS, you can usually find USB controllers in the “System Information” app, under “USB.” Bluetooth controllers should show up in the Bluetooth menu in the top menubar.
