InputConfig vs reWASD

InputConfig maps controllers and a Mac’s keyboard, mouse, and trackpad to keyboard and mouse actions across macOS apps. It supports DualSense, DualSense Edge, DualShock 4, Xbox, Switch Pro, Joy-Cons, Stadia, 8BitDo, Steam Controller, and MFi or HID gamepads. Mappings can trigger keystrokes, clicks, pointer movement, scrolling, typed phrases, macros, MIDI notes, and system functions, including hold, double-tap, chord, and turbo actions. InputConfig can also send MIDI notes, control changes, and pitch bend through a virtual MIDI port for GarageBand, Logic, and other DAWs. The editor offers per-app profiles and profile switching, along with more than 450 presets for games, apps, and workflows. The maker describes accessibility support for adaptive controllers, one-stick driving, spoken feedback, dictation, and zoom. InputConfig is free and open source under the MIT license. It requires macOS 14 or later and supports Apple silicon and Intel Macs. Virtual-controller output is not available.

reWASD remaps controllers, keyboards, and mice for PC use. It can translate joystick inputs into keyboard keys or mouse buttons, and map keyboard and mouse inputs in the other direction. Per-app profiles and macros are supported, with actions for single, double, and triple presses, as well as press start and release. Advanced tools include combos, up to four simultaneous configuration slots, Rapid Fire, a Radial Menu, and Custom Crosshair. The site says the software supports dozens of controllers; Basic supports over 100 gamepads and nearly all keyboards and mice. Users can find and share game configurations through reWASD Community. The mobile app for Android and iOS can turn a phone or tablet into a gamepad, control pad, or touchpad for a PC on the same local network. The seven-day trial offers full features on up to two PCs and cannot be extended. Basic is a 14.99 USD one-time fee for lifetime access on one PC; Advanced is 39.99 USD on the same basis.
