JoyToKey - Map your Xbox controller to keyboard keys

With JoyToKey you can create custom mappings of Xbox keys with ease.

Windows only

Setup

You need to install XInput-Python and winput to use JoyToKey:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Create a mapping

Run configure.py to create a new mapping.

It will allow you to create a new mapping by first pressing a button, pressing a trigger or moving a stick on your Xbox controller, followed by a corresponding keyboard key.

Currently mouse movement and mouse buttons cannot be used.

Run a mapping

When you've created a mapping that you want to use, simply run:

python joytokey.py "<your mapping name>.j2k"

Sample output:

Mapping started with config:
A is mapped to VK_E
B is mapped to VK_Q
LEFT_STICK UP is mapped to VK_W
LEFT_STICK DOWN is mapped to VK_S
LEFT_STICK LEFT is mapped to VK_A
LEFT_STICK RIGHT is mapped to VK_D

Press CTRL + C to stop.

If you overwrite the mapping called "default", you can omit the mapping file parameter:

python joytokey.py
