I used to use Xpadder for all my controller mapping needs, allowing me to create profiles for all my different controllers as well as autoprofiles that start up depending on the game I select. It's carried me through many kb/m only games, or those that didn't simulate controller support fully. But ever since Windows 10, Xpadder hasn't been working as well as it used to. For one thing, it doesn't automatically switch controller profiles when I turn on a controller.
It also tends to default to set 2 of a controller rather than set 1, and occasionally it won't turn off a game's autoprofile after I exit from the game. Long story short, it's been pretty spotty. So I wanted to inquire about any alternatives. Is there a unanimously beloved controller mapping software that works perfectly on Windows 10? I want to be able to have all the features that Xpadder provided, such as letting me boot up Steam Big Picture Mode with a specific button combination (L2+Start, in my case) as well as automatically turn on/off profiles for each game I play. Edit: Just to clarify, I'm looking for wireless controller options.
Nov 3, 2015 - i have a hp laptop (hp pavillion dv5 1160ev) with Windows Vista Home. With windows drivers framework violation i got 99% from MotionInJoy.
Wired is a no-go for me. Edit 2: DS4 and XB1 suggestions only, please. There's no reason to use MotionInJoy for your DS4. Ditch it and get InputMapper or DS4Windows J2k.
They have the same functionality and extensive mapping options, but without serving you malware through uncontrollable ads. If you need uninstall instructions for MotIonInJoy to recover your bluetooth, the link 60EffPeeEss posted above has some on it's MotionInJoy page Here's a sample of the controller options that DS4Windows J2K has. Don't really have a suggestion for bouncing between the two on the fly tho, sorry. Input Mapper is designed to bridge the gap between the devices you use and the games you play.
Started in 2014 as DS4Tool and then DS4Windows, Input Mapper immediately gained a strong following after allowing users to use their Dualshock 4 controllers in games that don't allow for the direct input protocol used by the device. Starting in 2015 the project began to seek beyond just Dualshock 4 implementation and from that idea Input Mapper was borne. IM2 is currently under development and will feature a open framework and plugin system to allow 3rd party developers to expand the capabilities of the tool through plugins. IM seeks to eliminate the need for numerous tools to run numerous type of controllers by creating a single application that can accept any device and emulate any device. Let's make some things clear. What controllers do you have?
For DS3: If you want profiles at the driver level, use MiJ. Here's a link to the offline MiJ mod and a tutorial on how to use it: Offline mod is totally safe; the config utility makes zero network connections as opposed to the stock config utility's 20-some connections.
The driver itself is fine, according to. That same guy created, which is excellent for creating DS3 controller profiles.
It can automatically start a profile when connecting a controller, but unfortunately it does not support game-specific autoprofiles. If you have no need for driver-level profiles then use, which is an unofficial continuation to the SCP driver that everyone loves.
I will happily switch to ScpToolkit once it supports proper controller profiles. For DS4: try. Apparently it also supports XInput controllers through a plugin.
But yeah if you really want that much fine-grain control over your controller profiles you should probably get a Steam Controller. You'll spend more time playing with profiles than playing your games and you'll have a great time lol.
