## What it is
Gopher360 is a free, zero-config Windows application that turns Xbox 360, Xbox One, or DualShock (via XInput emulation) controllers into mouse and keyboard input. It is aimed at couch-oriented PC users who want to control their PC from a distance.

## Use cases
- control my PC from the couch with a controller
- use an Xbox controller as a mouse and keyboard
- navigate Windows with a gamepad on a HTPC
- play mouse-only games with a controller
- launch and control media on a couch PC without a keyboard
- use a DualShock controller as a mouse on PC

## When to choose
- you want a zero-configuration controller-to-mouse solution on Windows
- you use Xbox 360/One or XInput-emulated controllers
- you want a lightweight standalone executable with no install

## When to avoid
- you need Linux or macOS support
- you need DualShock support without XInput emulation
- you need highly customizable per-application profiles beyond config-file rebinding

- maturity: maintenance
