Xpadder allows you to play your computer games with your favorite controller that only allow keyboard and mouse input.  Xpadder acts as an interface between your controller and keyboard input, mapping each button press to a keyboard key, allowing the video game to be played.  Xpadder has been available for 10 years and has been downloaded over 4 million times.

Features:

  • Map controller buttons to keyboard keys
  • Map mouse movement to controller sticks
  • Input combinations, toggles, sequences, triggers
  • Features support for multiple controllers
  • Software upgrades for life

Xpadder detects all modern controllers and allows you to individually map each button to a keyboard press or a movement of the mouse. Xpadder includes a variety of profiles to support each of those controllers.  Each button mapping is easily selectable with a simple drop-down menu.  The software shows you a preview of exactly how your controller is configured, allowing you to easily adjust your settings and see how you will be playing your game.  Xpadder even includes a variety of advanced options that all gamers love to configure such as inverting controller axes for easier movement, enabling eight-way movement, configuring stick dead zone for more precise aiming, and axis prioritization.

You can play your favorite games the way you want to.

Xpadder even allows you to save various profiles, allowing gamers to have customized settings for every different game.  The software allows you to easily check that your configuration is working correctly prior to starting your game.  Xpadder supports Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, and XP, meaning it supports games back to the start of the millennium.  The software supports controllers communicating via both XInput and DirectInput, meaning it supports all gaming controllers from the Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo, 8BitDo, and even generic Bluetooth controllers.

Xpadder is an application for configuring a game controller. It is aimed at providing the best user experience to the console users in computers.

Xpadder can provide joystick support to DOS, emulated, or internet games. Users can even control video or music players, web browsers, or any typical Windows application by applying the custom configuration using this application.

Xpadder is an extremely lightweight application. It has a lot of languages to choose from. It also contains a lot of shortcuts. It is also compatible with a lot of gamepads.

However, this application does not have a free version. It only offers the paid version which contains all of the features bundled with it.

Xpadder is something every gamer could use to make their gaming more enjoyable and more convenient. Xpadder allows you to use your favorite controller while playing computer games that usually would require mouse and keyboard only. Allowing this could help gamers have better aim and stability in certain games that a keyboard or mouse just simply wouldn't allow. Xpadder is a product that I am truly interested in for my boys who are always playing games on the xbox. I know they would love to be able to use their controllers to play computer games as well, with something they are already familiar with.

This emulator is really recommended for people like me that enjoy playing on consoles and gaming controllers, more than on a keyboard and mouse. There are a lot of PC games that can't be played with a controller, but this can be fixed using Xpadder, because with it you can now map certain keys or mouse clicks onto various buttons on a chosen controller. I use this all the time as I have a preference for gaming controllers, and you can even use it to remap functions for games that do support controllers as well.

Xpadder is a transparent and highly competent keyboard emulator that you can use for your PC. This software allows you to get control over any type of game that doesn't feature any support for your gamepad. Simple tools and visuals anyone who has some time to spare and can easily set up the gamepad to emulate the keyboard and their mouse in all the games they play. They do have a free version but after years of this software being here they have come up with a premium version. It's available on all the Windows versions. Overall, I would recommend this for gamers but ofcourse for anyone else who are also interested in games.

The ability to create multiple profiles for different games is a great feature. The software runs well and is lightweight, so it doesn't take up much resources. Overall, it is a great program for gamers who need to customize their gaming experience.

Xpadder software is relatively easy to use and provides a great way to control games with a gamepad. The interface is intuitive, and the configuration options are fairly comprehensive. I found it useful to save custom button configurations, however some games had compatibility issues. The price is also quite reasonable.
