## What it is
AntiMicroX is a graphical program for mapping gamepad buttons and axes to keyboard keys, mouse controls, scripts, and macros on Linux and Windows. It is a continuation of the abandoned AntiMicro project and can also generate SDL2 controller configurations for atypical gamepads.

## Use cases
- play games that lack gamepad support by emulating keyboard and mouse
- map gamepad buttons to keyboard keys and mouse movements
- control desktop applications with a controller
- create macros triggered by gamepad buttons
- generate SDL2 mappings for unusual gamepads
- auto-switch controller profiles per application window

## When to choose
- you want a GUI to remap a gamepad to keyboard/mouse on Linux or Windows
- you need per-application auto profiles or multiple mapping sets
- you need SDL2 config generation for non-standard controllers
- you need X.org and Wayland support

## When to avoid
- you need a actively developed tool with new features - the project is looking for a maintainer and gets limited support
- you only need console/CLI-only remapping
- you are on macOS - it is not supported

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: gui, cli, configuration-management
- domain: gaming-tools, desktop-applications, cross-platform
