Allows mapping Keyboard/Mouse keys to a Virtual Controller on a per-app basis, without having to install any drivers.

Can also remap Keyboard/Mouse keys to other Keyboard/Mouse keys.

Currently not user-friendly, but functional.

You can find the latest release (MyInput_Windows.zip) here.

If you find this useful, and have any requests or suggestions, let me know via opening an issue or starting a disussion. (And if you're having trouble getting it to work on your machine or to behave as you'd like, please open an issue)

You can run myinput.exe to open a window, from which you can:

To run an executable under myinput just once, click on "Launch New (One-Time)" on the bottom right of the myinput window.

Alternatively, in Windows Explorer, just drag the executable you want to run to x64\myinput_inject.exe

To register an executable so that - whenever you launch it - it is launched through my input, click on "Register New" (near the bottom right of the myinput window).

Alternatively, in Windows Explorer, just drag the executable you want to register to x64\myinput_register.exe (you can drag it again to unregister it)

Note: Registering an executable requires admin permissions (as it uses Image File Execution Options to change how the executable runs).

The configuration file specify which keys map to which keys/buttons.

You can open the global configuration file by clicking "Edit Global Config" (or opening Configs_default.ini directly).

By default, it maps keyboard keys to a XBox360 controller.

The lines at the top of the file (that start with a '#') are comments that describe the configuration format, whereas the lines below map keys to various buttons.

For example: (these are all parts of the default configuration)

• It maps the "C" key to the "A" button (written as "%A").
• It maps the "Up" key to the left analog stick up direction (written as "%L.Up")
• It maps the left shift ("LShift") to modify the range of the left analog stick movement ("%Mod.L") by a half ("~ 0.5")
• It maps the "Pause" key to disable all other key mappings until pressed again.
• It maps the "F12" key to reload key mappings from the config file.

Note that lines that start with "#" are ignored.

You can see more advanced examples in Config\myinput_test.ini

(Do not copy the #[ and #] line - they cause the whole block to be ignored)

For example: (these are NOT parts of the default configuration, just examples of what you can do)

• It maps the "Numpad1" key to rotate the left analog stick up ("%Rot.L.Up")
• It contains lines mapping keys & mouse buttons to other keys & mouse buttons, such as mapping "MButton" (middle mouse button) to "XButton1" (first extra mouse button)
• It contains lines (below "MISC KEY FEATURES") that maps "Q" to turbo-press "Z", maps "A" to toggle "Z", and maps "1" to toggle turbo of "Z". (and below, you can see toggle & turbo also works on controller buttons)
• At the bottom, it defines 2 controllers ("!Device1 = X360" and "!Device2 = PS4"). Much above, it maps "F2" to "SetActive @2" which switches all mappings to use the 2nd controller.

You can specify a configuration for each executable, by either:

• Clicking "Edit Config" and answering "Yes" to create a configuration for that executable.
• Toggling "Use Config", writing the name of the config in the edit box, and clicking "Apply". (This allows you to have multiple executables using the same custom config file)

For Steam Games:

• Make sure to disable Steam Input (either globally or for that specific game)
• You may have better luck if you register the executable to always run (via myinput_register.exe), as Steam games often ask Steam to relaunch them, even if you run them directly.

Prerequisite: https://github.com/microsoft/Detours - copy to 3rdparty/detours folder

Then just build with MSVC 2022 or above.

It hooks:

• The RawInput API
• The CfgMgr API
• The hid device IOCTLs (used by DirectInput & etc.)
• The xusb device IOCTLs (used by XInput & WGI)
• low-level keyboard & mouse events
• The wbem interface (currently partial, to match existing common uses)
• Misc. APIs to improve compatibility.
