Make sure you have the Steam app installed on your Windows 10 system.
We can have several Steam controllers connected at the same time. Note: While we used an Xbox controller in this post, you will be able to use these same tools to map a PS4 controller to keyboard keys. Steam will show us, under the options, the detected controls. Likewise, if we use a wireless one, we can choose how much idle time we want to pass before turning it off. If we use a wireless controller, and we play inside Big Picture, we can configure it to automatically turn off when we exit this mode. It allows us to configure that, when pressing the main button of our controller, Steam is displayed. I use JoystickMapper for some games, its picks up controller inputs & binds them to keys on the keyboard, takes a few minutes to set up but once you do, you can use the profile for other games (if they have the same layout) 9.
just a gamer who is incredibly thankful this program exists so that I'm able to enjoy PC games that would otherwise be off limits for someone with my limitations.The first thing to do in this window is to select the type of command that we are going to use.
Heres how to set it up using Steam, Gopher360, InputMapper. You can even have it so that a single button or stick on the controller will mimic up to 10 different key\mouse actions, so that you're not limited by the number of buttons on the controller, because it's possible to set a button to shift the whole controller over to config #2 where config #2 is an entirely different set of key\mouse combos for each button.Īnd no, I'm not affiliated with Xpadder in any way. If you plan to play PC games on your big 4K TV, turning your game controller into a computer mouse can help make the process easier. In short, you can make the controller do anything that can BE done with a mouse and keyboard, and it includes support for "rumble" and for multiple controllers at the same time (for multiplayer games). For example, you can set it up so that tilting the controller's left stick to less than 50% of its total range will mimic "move the mouse forwards while holding down Shift and then press the R key," but tilting the same stick to more than 50% of its range will be the same as "click the left mouse button, wait two seconds, then quickly press the Y key three times in a row". You can even assign different macros depending on how far you tilt the stick on your controller. and then assign that macro to a single button on the controller. It'll let you create complicated macros that include mouse movements, clicks, wait periods, key presses, holding down keys, etc. Nintendo Switch, Dualshock 4 and DualSense controllers all have support for motion. Motion control support can vary between controllers. In this section we’ll be configuring controller inputs for Cemu, and setting up motion controls. It's a shareware prog that costs $10, but it's worth every penny. If you need further help, ask on the official Cemu Discord Server for assistance.
There are a couple of decent keymappers out there, but imo the best by FAR is Xpadder: which uses an intuitive GUI to walk you through setting up the controller to mimic any combination of keys \ mouse that you like. I do it all the time bc I'm disabled and not physically able to use a mouse and keyboard at the same time. To connect your PS4 controller to a PC using Steam or the DS4 Windows Utility, youll need a micro-USB cable.For example in Salt & Sanctuary it does nothing. If your computer recognizes input from it, you can use it in games. Connect PS4 Controller to computer, Steam will detect the controller. Xbox 360 controller, PS3 dualshock, any 3rd party gamepad, etc. You can use ANY controller that works on a PC to play ANY game you want.
