About AntiMicroX

AntiMicroX is a graphical program that maps gamepad and joystick input to keyboard keys, mouse buttons and movement, scripts, executables and macros. It can be used to control desktop applications with a gamepad, and it runs on Linux and Windows, with support for X.org and Wayland. It can also generate SDL2 configuration, which is useful for mapping atypical gamepads to generic ones such as an Xbox 360 controller.

The project is open source under GPL v.3 and is distributed through Windows installers, Flatpak, AppImage, and packages for Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE and Arch Linux. Development is currently limited: the repository states it is looking for a new maintainer and will receive only limited support with no new features unless contributed externally.
