antimicro

If you are having a hard time reaching certain keys during your gaming sessions, then there is a high chance that you wish your keyboard's buttons were laid out a bit differently. Without denying that you could do so by remapping them in the registry, you can achieve the same results by mapping buttons to a gamepad.

antimicro is a lightweight piece of software designed to help you map keyboard and mouse actions to a joystick or gamepad and hence, make sure you have faster reactions in the various games you play on your computer.

Before you can get started, you need to connect your joystick or gamepad to the computer, a connection that can be either wireless or via a USB cable. In case the application does not view the device you just connected, then hitting the Update Joystick function or running the tool with Administrator privileges can solve the problem.

Functionality-wise, the utility is as simple to use as it looks. You can make a mapping by highlighting the mapping cell for the appropriate button row in the dedicated window. Afterwards, simply press the desired button or move the axis of your gamepad for the change to take effect.

The program comes with a clean and intuitive interface that is unlikely to give you any troubles, regardless of your experience with similar applications. In fact, the interface consists of the main window that allows you to preview the current mapping and a secondary panel where you assign the keys.

Once the keys are assigned, you can preview them in the main window and perform a small test to determine whether the mapping is performed correctly. The test entails that you move the desired button on your joystick or gamepad and notice if the corresponding button is highlighted in the UI.

In the eventuality that you are looking for a means to improve your reactions in the various games you are playing on your computer, then antimicro provides you with a quick way to remap your mouse and keyboard buttons to your favorite gamepad.
