Instead of AntiMicroX
AntiMicroX alternatives
AntiMicroX is a free Linux and Windows utility for translating gamepad controls into keyboard, mouse, script, and macro actions. Its switchable mapping sets let one gamepad serve different tasks, while profiles can follow the active application window outside Wayland. It can also generate SDL2 configurations for mapping atypical controllers to generic ones, a useful option for games without gamepad support or for desktop control.

Its main constraints are platform scope and project continuity. The project is seeking a new maintainer and expects limited support and no new features unless contributors provide them. On Wayland, automatic profiles are unavailable, and the Flatpak package may not work correctly. When comparing alternatives, consider whether you need desktop input mapping, virtual controller output, simulator-specific profiles, or support for other input types such as MIDI. The operating system matters as well: some options focus on macOS, while others support Windows or Linux.
