Padmapper – Add gamepad support to games that only support keyboard / mouse ​

Padmapper is a Linux tool that allows you to simulate keyboard and mouse input from game controllers. This makes it possible to press keyboard keys using controller buttons and to move the mouse using a joystick.

This tool was created as part of the VersusBox arcade cabinet project.

Although many games that only support keyboard and mouse do not have gameplay well-suited for controllers, some work very well with them.

Documentation is available on the project's GitHub page. It is also on PyPI, and can therefore be installed via:

pip insstall padmapper

pip insstall padmapper
