AntiMicroX is a graphical program used to map gamepad keys to keyboard, mouse, scripts and macros. You can use this program to control any desktop application with a gamepad on Linux. It can be also used for generating SDL2 configuration (useful for mapping atypical gamepads to generic ones like xbox360).

Currently we don't support Wayland (#32) - your system has to be running X.org in order to run this program.

It allows mapping of gamepads/joystick buttons to:

• keyboard buttons
• mouse buttons and moves
• scripts and executables
• macros consisting of elements mentioned above

This program is currently supported under various Linux distributions.

This application is continuation of project called AntiMicro, which was later abandoned and revived by juliagoda.

Legacy repositories:

• First AntiMicroX repository: https://github.com/juliagoda/antimicroX
• Second, maintained by organization: https://github.com/AntiMicro/antimicro
• First, original AntiMicro repository: https://github.com/Ryochan7/antimicro

                               check your controller index, name or 
                               even GUID.  

The flatpak version is distributed on Flathub, and runs on most major Linux distributions. See instructions here: Flathub application page

If you have Flathub set up already:

flatpak install flathub io.github.antimicrox.antimicrox

dnf install antimicrox

trizen -S antimicrox

or

pre-built version can de downloaded from unofficial repository called chaotic-aur.

Append (one of listed mirrors) to /etc/pacman.conf:

# Brazil
Server = http://lonewolf-builder.duckdns.org/$repo/$arch
# Germany
Server = http://chaotic.bangl.de/$repo/$arch
# USA (Cloudflare cached)
Server = https://repo.kitsuna.net/$arch
# Netherlands
Server = https://chaotic.tn.dedyn.io/$arch

To check signature, add keys:

sudo pacman-key --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com -r 3056513887B78AEB 8A9E14A07010F7E3
sudo pacman-key --lsign-key 3056513887B78AEB
sudo pacman-key --lsign-key 8A9E14A07010F7E3

Install package

pacman -S antimicrox

Download from the release site and install .deb package.

Download from the release site.

It is recommended to use AppImageLauncher with this package.

List of required dependencies and build instructions can be found here.

Look here

If you are having problems with antimicrox detecting a controller or detecting all axes and buttons, you should test the controller outside of antimicrox to check if the problem is with antimicrox or not. The two endorsed programs for testing gamepads outside of antimicrox are sdl-jstest (sdl2-jstest) and evtest. SDL2 utilizes evdev on Linux so performing testing with older programs that use joydev won't be as helpful since some devices behave a bit differently between the two systems. Another method also exist, which can be found here.

If you would like to send the profile you are using for your application or find something for yourself, here is the forked repository. If you want to report a bug, ask a question or share a suggestion, you can do that on the antimicrox page or on the antimicrox-profiles page.

In order to obtain support, you can post an issue here.

Application's bugs will be fixed. There are created tests for detecting bugs. Of course, I'm open to proposals or questions from users.

A big, original inspiration for this program was the program QJoyPad.

If you want to participate in the translation of the program, but your language is not yet on the support list. Please contact us.

However, if your language is already supported in the program, you must have the Qt Linguist program installed, which is usually included in the qt5-tools package, to conveniently translate the application. However, before you do that, make sure that you don't already have this program installed. All you have to do is open it, and then use it to open a file with the ts extension.

If a red exclamation mark appears in the translation field, it means that your translation does not end with the same sign as the original content. Try to place commas or dots in appropriate places and often save your progress.
