Controller mapping software lets you adjust how gamepad inputs behave across games and other uses. Compare keyboard and mouse remapping, macro support, and virtual controller output, then consider per-app profiles and how you switch between them. If you connect more than one device, check simultaneous-device support and supported platforms. The ranking starts with Steam Input, DS4Windows, and AntiMicroX, with JoyShockMapper and OmniControl also among the entries. Check which options offer a free plan and where paid pricing begins, alongside the controls and profile features that fit your setup.
