Fantastic Controller Mappers and Where to Find Them

1

Xpadder

The significant ability of Xpadder is to support almost any controller device: this controller mapper allows you to add each button or analog element that your controller has one-by-one. As a result, you literally build a unique scheme. Once the controller is plugged in, Xpadder asks you to move analog controls to add them to the controller scheme and tune the deadzone. The next step in this controller mapping software is to configure the layout: you can drag the controls and make a mess. Then you create a config and add mappings but unfortunately only the keyboard ones. So you can’t eliminate the native layout in games that have controller support from-the-box or even change it a little bit, so you might want an Xpadder alternative to do that. Still, it’s an awesome gamepad mapper for a game that doesn’t support controller.

JoyToKey

JoyToKey is a fairly good and functional controller mapper with a bit weird interface, and lots of hidden treasures. The hierarchy is the following: you create the profile, then add your joysticks with different configs. You also can change stuff in Button mapping (which I’ve called a hidden treasure because it took me some time to find that useful section). This gamepad mapper also permits to change the profiles by clicking a certain button (or a combination). Another cool thing is that you have plenty of opportunities concerning mappings: map a key, a key combo, mouse move or the mouse absolute position movement, toggle or auto-repeat. Activators are available as well.

Pinnacle Game Profiler

Just wondering, have you already chosen the controller mapper that would suit all your needs? We’re on our way to help you decide! Choosing the controller mapping software is a tough deal because each one of them has its own specifics. We’ve created a config sample that has almost identical mappings in each program, just so you could see the difference. So it will be quite easy to compare the most popular controller mappers: Xpadder, JoyToKey, Pinnacle Game Profiler, InputMapper (DS4Windows) and reWASD. Just a small spoiler: the best one is in the end :)

InputMapper

In general, InputMapper (which is also called DS4Windows) is a good controller mapping software for those who have a DualShock 4 controller. But if you’re looking for deeper features, or using any controller except DualShock 4, you should look for an InputMapper alternative! And it’s easier than it seems to find one ;)
