Keysticks

Keysticks is here to save your couch time! You know how annoying it is to get up from the couch just to grab your mouse or keyboard? Well, with Keysticks, you don’t have to. This cool software lets you use your game controller for all sorts of tasks, so you can kick back and relax.

What Does Keysticks Do?

This nifty program basically mimics keyboard and mouse input using your controller. So whether you're moving the cursor or pressing keys, you can do it all with just your gamepad. Setting it up is a breeze, and it comes packed with profiles tailored for different games and apps.

Wide Compatibility

Keysticks supports both XInput and DirectInput, which means it works with a variety of devices. For sure, Xbox 360 and Xbox One controllers are compatible. If you have another type of controller, give it a shot and see if it works!

User-Friendly Interface

Once you launch Keysticks, the default profile pops up right away. You'll see an overlay showing which keyboard or mouse buttons link to your gamepad controls. The buttons you hit will light up, making it super easy to keep track.

Customize Your Experience

You can totally tweak the mappings to fit what feels best for you! While it's pretty straightforward to customize things, setting presets for all your favorite games or apps might take some time.

Ready-to-Use Profiles

The good news? Keysticks has some pre-made profiles for popular applications like VLC Media Player, PowerPoint, and even Minecraft! Plus, there’s a whole community out there creating additional profiles that you can grab right within the program.

A Customizable Tool

If you're into customization, Keysticks gives you loads of options to change almost everything about its functionality and profiles. But hey, if you'd rather skip all that setup work, just search online for a profile that suits your needs and apply it directly!
