## What it is
A Linux GUI application and daemon that remaps input devices, letting users map any key, mouse movement, joystick, or trigger to any other input, including programmable macros, on both X11 and Wayland.

## Use cases
- remap keyboard keys on Linux
- change mouse button behavior
- map gamepad buttons to keyboard keys
- create programmable macros for input devices
- remap joystick and wheel inputs
- swap keys system-wide on Wayland

## When to choose
- You need to remap keyboards, mice, or gamepads on Linux with a GUI
- You want macro support and per-device presets on X11 or Wayland
- You prefer an easy-to-use tool over manual evdev/uinput scripting

## When to avoid
- You are on Windows, macOS, or another non-Linux OS
- You need per-application conditional remapping beyond what presets offer
- You want a headless config-only tool without a GUI
