Open Source Python Game Controller Software

An easy-to-use tool to change the behavior of your input devices. Supports X11, Wayland, combinations, programmable macros, joysticks, wheels, triggers, keys, mouse movements and more. Maps any input to any other input.

SDL_GameControllerDB is a community-maintained database of game controller mappings designed to be used with the SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) library’s Game Controller API for both SDL2 and SDL3. Because many controllers report different axes and button layouts depending on platform and manufacturer, this project provides a large text database (gamecontrollerdb.txt) that maps those raw inputs to a standardized layout for consistent use in games and applications across Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and other SDL-supported systems. Developers simply include or load the database file at runtime and call SDL’s API to add mappings, which enables out-of-the-box support for controllers that would otherwise behave unpredictably. The repository encourages community contributions so new or uncommon controllers can be added as they’re discovered and tested.

Map joystick buttons to keyboard keys, to steer in GTBikeV with any (unsupported) joystick. Uses Python Windows joystick API and sample code from How to generate keyboard events in Python? If your joystick has an analog stick you may prefer using x360ce for steering. You can still use joy2key to enable/disable auto drive and change radio station, just leave buttons 3 and 4 unmapped in x360ce.

LazyDS4 is a controller mapping application designed to convert HID input from a DualShock 4 controller directly to a virtual Xbox 360 controller. Optimized for simplicity and performance, it offers real-time input mapping with a ~1ms (1000Hz) polling rate, modern graphical interface with PyQt5, and automatic joystick calibration. 📌 What's New (v2.1.0) 🎨 Visual Overhaul — Modern, professional interface with gradient backgrounds and advanced styling 📐 Layout Optimization — Improved spacing, alignment, and responsiveness 🎉 Icon Integration — Consistent use of dynamic SVG icons throughout ⚡ Enhanced Button Design — Polished buttons with smooth animations and clear actions 📊 Responsive Interface — Adapted for various screen sizes without overlaps 🔔 Real-time Visual Indicators — Clear and immediate feedback for status, warnings, and battery levels Built by the lazy, for the lazy.

Caster allows you to creates an icon / shortcut under one of the sections on the home screen. Launch one or more of your favorite Windows programs from within the Plex interface. NOTE: a large percentage of Windows applications do not support user input with a remote / game controller; have your keyboard and mouse handy.
