JoyXoff vs LEA Extended Input

JoyXoff is free Windows software that maps Xbox controller inputs to mouse and keyboard events, media functions and other bindings. Users can configure desktop bindings separately from profiles for individual processes, while profile bindings are disabled automatically when a program runs fullscreen. The utility works with XInput-compatible controllers, including Xbox 360 and Xbox One models listed by the maker. It includes an arcade-style virtual keyboard and a plain Xbox One-themed keyboard, and can turn off Xbox 360 wireless controllers. Steam users can create bindings intended to avoid Guide-button conflicts in Big Picture. PlayStation controllers may be used through an Xbox 360 controller emulator such as x360ce, with additional setup. JoyXoff requires Windows 8.1; Windows 10 or later is recommended. It starts with Windows after installation and stores files in %ProgramData%\Joyxoff. An option addresses UAC prompts and the sign-in screen. Version 3.65.10.1 for Windows x86 is listed with a June 24, 2026 date and SHA256 checksum.

LEA Extended Input lets users emulate keyboard and joystick inputs from mobile client devices connected to a PC. The clients are available for Android and iOS, and the standalone server runs on 64-bit editions of Windows 7 and higher. The server emulates four joysticks and one keyboard, can redirect gamepad and joystick inputs to them, and supports multiple clients connected to one PC with synchronized client statuses.

Users can choose from 13 standard controls, create their own, or import controls shared by the community. Controls can be customized by shape, size, orientation, color, and texture, and the client includes a macro editor. In Extended mode, a compatible PC game can send information such as inventory, a mini-map, or radar to the client UI. Users can export projects through LEA Resources Manager on PC to share them with the community. The maker offers a C# SDK; its SDK page lists a C++ SDK as available soon. The clients and server are free.
