Description

Joystick buttons and movement can be converted into keyboard input. It helps users control games, emulators, presentations, or accessibility workflows when an application does not support the controller directly.

Input translation can trigger unintended shortcuts or make controls hard to recover. Test mappings in a safe window and keep a keyboard available for correction.
