Mapping keyboard keys to game controller

#Mapping keyboard keys to game controller software#

The M1 chip is a beast and I can play games I could never play on Integrated Intel Graphics. If you can manage to get all planets in alignment and you're willing to put in a little effort, you can have a good experience playing 2D games on your M1 Mac thanks to this app. I wish it supported PS4 controllers, but luckily I have a Switch controller so it works for me. Basically, I'm mapping the game's keys to the controller buttons, which works.

At least we have something to play 2D Steam games until Valve gets it together. Is there software to map keyboard keys to a controller Im playing a game that would play so much better with my 360 controller, but the game doesnt even have the option to use a controller, so Im looking for an external program. I'm having a very strange problem while using Xpadder (A joystick to keyboard program) to map my controller to SA2. Otherwise, I applaud the developer for his effort and making the app free. Click on the square containing the four buttons. I want to map 'Brake' (key 'S' on the keyboard) to the 'B' button on the gamepad. I'm going to use the 'Brake' button as an example. So you can move around in 3D games but not look (which makes 3D games unplayable). What we're basically going to do is map the keyboard controls (because we know them) to the gamepad buttons.

You can map the mouse to the right joystick and it does control the mouse pointer on the desktop, but for some reason it doesn't translate to looking around once you are in the game. It worked fine on 2D games that don't require a mouse for looking around. Until Steam updates controller support, this is the best we get. This is the only app I could find that will let me use a controller with 2D Steam games on my M1 Mac on Big Sur.
