About JoystickGremlin
JoystickGremlin is a program for configuring and managing joystick-like devices, mapping their physical inputs to virtual inputs for games and other applications. It uses virtual joysticks provided by vJoy to perform these mappings and can apply transformations such as response curves to analog axes. It works with devices from different manufacturers as well as custom devices that appear as joysticks to Windows.
Beyond basic remapping, the program includes a macro system, a mode system with inheritance and customizable mode switching, conditional execution of configured actions, and Python scripting. The homepage describes it as sitting between single-purpose joystick tools and general-purpose tools that require more manual coding, aiming to cover both simple and advanced joystick configuration.
