;[https://github.com/AntiMicro/antimicro/releases AntiMicro]:Free and open-source alternative to Xpadder. Current versions are forked from an [https://emulationrealm.net/downloads/file/3374-antimicro-windows-64bit earlier version] by different people and under active development after the original developer quit due to online harassment. Arguably the best tool available out there for this task. Supports macros and a wide range of controllers (including the Xbox One controller).

;[http://ahkscript.org AutoHotKey]: One of the more powerful key scripting language tools available out there. You can for example map complex hotkeys (like Ctrl+Alt+Del) or sequences of hotkeys and/or keypresses (like the Konami Code) to a single key in your keyboard... or gamepad. It's like a scripting language on its own, which though simple may be too much effort for the average user.

It allows mapping controllers, keyboards, mice, and even MIDI devices to virtual Xbox 360, DualShock 4, or DirectInput controllers. It is a powerful alternative for users needing high customizability or support for non-standard peripherals, utilizing the ViGEmBus and vJoy drivers.
