## What it is
AntiMicro is a graphical program that maps keyboard keys and mouse controls to a gamepad, letting users play games or control desktop applications that lack native gamepad support. It runs on Linux (X11), Windows, and FreeBSD, and is no longer maintained in favor of AntiMicroX.

## Use cases
- play PC games that have no gamepad support using a controller
- map gamepad buttons to keyboard keys and mouse actions
- control desktop applications with a gamepad
- use a controller as an accessibility input device
- configure per-game gamepad button mappings

## When to choose
- you need a GUI tool to emulate keyboard/mouse input from a gamepad on Linux X11, Windows, or FreeBSD
- you want a free GPL-licensed alternative to commercial controller mappers like JoyToKey

## When to avoid
- you want an actively maintained tool - use AntiMicroX instead
- you need Wayland-native support
- you need a command-line-only or headless configuration tool
