reWASD: Remap your controller's buttons to keyboard actions

Have you wondered if you can remap your Xbox/PS/Nintendo controller buttons to mimic or perform keyboard actions? Fortunately, the answer is yes, using the reWASD tool from Disc Soft, the creators of Daemon Tools.

reWASD allows you to remap your controller's buttons to certain keyboard actions. You may ask yourself why should you do that in the first place? The answer is pretty simple, most games have a strict set of controller binds and you aren't allowed to map certain actions to your controller. This is where reWASD comes into play, unlocking that potential and letting you bind any keyboard action to your controller's buttons.

reWASD comes with a very simple yet intuitive interface that lets you make and configure profiles based on the games that you want to play. Keep in mind the application gives full control of your Xbox and Xbox Elite, DualShock and Nintendo controllers.

As stated earlier, the application lets you create and customize various profiles depending on the game you wish to play. Set-up the profile, save it and activate it when playing a specific game, avoiding the hassle to remap your controls for every game you boot-up.

Assigning buttons to your controller is a 2 step process, choose the controller button you wish th remap, press the keyboard key and that's it. It's also worth mentioning that reWASD is one of the few apps that lets you remap the Xbox Elite paddles.

All we can say is that we pretty much love this app, it's extremely flexible and easy to use, if you have an Xbox, DualShock and Nintendo controller that needs remapping, reWASD is the go-to app.
