<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><a href="http://www.ryochan7.com/projects/antimicro/">AntiMicro</a> is an application that can be used to map keyboard and mouse keys to gamepad buttons, useful for playing games with no gamepad support.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The application, written in C++ using Qt for the graphical framework, has been created as a replacement for <a href="http://qjoypad.sourceforge.net/">QJoyPad</a> which unfortunately is no longer being maintained.</div><br /><a name='more'></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1113424/img/antimicro.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="259" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRiiPZ5hrEW7oIviuqa5i4I1Lhq8iCINu4UM4NGGCwFCLF_kwMVMx_YldywBdRP6UOCghom_C7ZZ2PiifVTUyc_3LZbdfGdOGNwxDv2U5ioG1JYasWnfAWztMs-tkioYuCu3AbM5xTq7U/s320/antimicro.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;">AntiMicro features controller stick support, 8-way controls, virtual Dpad support, profiles that can be loaded via command line and more.</div>Compared to QJoyPad, the application comes with some extra features like assigning multiple keys to one controller button (for example Shift+Tab to bring up the Steam overlay interface in a game), macros for button presses which lets you add conditional actions, change button configurations on the fly and there's also a tray icon that works under Unity. Furthermore, AntiMicro has better mouse movement support.</div><br /><br /><h2>Basic usage</h2><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">To assign a keyboard or mouse key to gamepad buttons, press a button on your gamepad and the corresponding button in the AntiMicro user interface should be highlighted:</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1113424/img/antimicro-highlight.png"><img alt="AntiMicro" src="http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1113424/img/antimicro-highlight_thumb.png" /></a></div><br />Then, click the highlighted button from the AntiMicro user interface and assign it to a keyboard or mouse key:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1113424/img/antimicro-keyboard.png"><img alt="AntiMicro" src="http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1113424/img/antimicro-keyboard_thumb.png" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1113424/img/antimicro-mouse.png"><img alt="AntiMicro" src="http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1113424/img/antimicro-mouse_thumb.png" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">You can also click the "Quick set" button at the bottom of the AntiMicro window, then press a button or move an axis on the joystick and a window will show up allowing you to assign it a key.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When assigning a key, you can select to use turbo or toggle modes:</div><ul style="text-align: justify;"><li>turbo: when the button is pressed on the joystick, the corresponding key acts as if the button was pressed multiple times. The delay/rate can be set under Advanced;</li><li>toggle: a simple press of the Joystick button leaves it virtually pressed. Pressing it again stops it.</li></ul><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Below you can watch an AntiMicro demo with Left 4 Dead 2, recorded by its developer:</div><br /><center><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/0s59cL_Vvoo" width="480"></iframe><br />(<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0s59cL_Vvoo">direct video link</a>)</center><br /><br /><h2>Download AntiMicro</h2><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.ryochan7.com/projects/antimicro/">Download AntiMicro</a> - there are packages available for Ubuntu/Debian, Arch Linux and Gentoo as well as the source code.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Report any bugs you may find @ <a href="https://github.com/Ryochan7/antimicro">GitHub</a>.</div><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><i>via <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/">Reddit</a></i></div>
