DS4Windows

DS4Windows is an open-source utility that lets DualShock 3, DualShock 4, DualSense, and Nintendo Switch Pro/Joy-Con controllers work on Windows PCs by emulating a virtual Xbox 360 controller. This lets games that only recognize Xbox input accept a PlayStation or Switch controller instead, without needing native support from the game. Beyond basic compatibility, it offers deep remapping of buttons, sticks, and triggers to keyboard or mouse actions, per-game automatic profile switching, lightbar color customization, and gyroscope/motion control support. The project is community-maintained, with the Ryochan7 fork being the most widely used continuation after the original developer stopped active work.

reWASD

reWASD is Windows controller remapping software that lets players reassign buttons, sticks, and triggers on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch Pro, and other gamepads to keyboard keys, mouse movement, or entirely custom macros. It supports over 100 controller models, including special handling for Xbox Elite paddles and DualSense/DualShock touchpad zones. Beyond simple remapping, reWASD offers multi-layer profiles that stack up to four configurations on one controller, turbo and toggle button behavior, and a radial menu system for quick input switching mid-game, making it popular with players who want console controllers to work like a full PC input device in games that lack native gamepad support.
