Xpadder is a freeware program that has the ability to emulate a mouse and/or keyboard using a controller or joystick. This is primarily used for playing games with poor or no controller support, but Xpadder can be used in a web browser, media player, or almost any other application. Xpadder supports the use of up to 16 controllers simultaneously and if a controller supports it, Xpadder can assign a button to make the controller rumble/vibrate. It runs on the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems including Vista 32-bit and 64-bit.

Features

*Freeware
*Keyboard and mouse emulation.
*Profile management.
*Support for any controller recognized by Microsoft Windows
*Updates are available frequently; as much as every month.
*Support rumble on capable controllers.
*Sets for using keys as "shift" keys and emulating more keys than a controller actually has.

Limitations

Xpadder does not work on some online multiplayer games which make use of Anti-Hacking software. Games using GameGuard, such as MapleStory, sometimes block Xpadder. Servers running PunkBuster, however, do not have this problem, allowing Xpadder to be used with PunkBuster-enabled games. A full list of known incompatible games is available on the Xpadder forums.

Updates

*As of Oct. 9th 2008 the author of Xpadder has decided to end the Xpadder project. The last stable release of Xpadder (v 5.3) will live on using freeware sites (refer to the bottom of this page for links).
