Description

AntiMicroX is a graphical program used to map gamepad keys to keyboard, mouse, scripts and macros. You can use this program to control any desktop application with a gamepad on Linux🐧 and Windows 🪟.
It can be also used for generating SDL2 configuration (useful for mapping atypical gamepads to generic ones like xbox360).

We support X.org and Wayland.

Features:

• Mapping of gamepads/joystick buttons to:
  • keyboard buttons
  • mouse buttons and moves
  • scripts and executables
  • macros consisting of elements mentioned above
• Assigning multiple switchable sets of mappings to gamepad.
• Auto profiles - assign profile to active application window (not in Wayland note).

This program is currently supported under various Linux distributions.

This application is continuation of project called AntiMicro, which was later abandoned and revived by juliagoda.

Testing Under Linux

If you are having problems with antimicrox detecting a controller or detecting all axes and buttons, you should test the controller outside of antimicrox to check if the problem is with antimicrox or not. The two endorsed programs for testing gamepads outside of antimicrox are sdl-jstest (sdl2-jstest) and evtest. SDL2 utilizes evdev on Linux so performing testing with older programs that use joydev won't be as helpful since some devices behave a bit differently between the two systems. Another method also exists, which can be found here.
