How To Use USB Controller To Play Games On PC

i wanted to play an older game using my logitech usb controller but no matter what i did the game wouldn't recognize my controller inputs so the way i got around this was to use a program that does recognize controller inputs and allows you to program keyboard inputs to the buttons of the controller in this video i will quickly show you how you can do it yourself the first step is you need to download a program you can find it on github.com anti macro i will put the link in the description click on anti macro go over to releases and download anti macro portable open the file and extract the folder within go into that folder and open the program anti-micro and this program is designed to automatically detect your controller to see if it's working you can just start pressing buttons and it will start to highlight all the buttons that it recognizes the next step is to manually enter all of the keys for the game input into your controller's inputs to do this just click on any of the buttons you see here and it will ask you what key you want that button to control so now you can see here with my joystick i have wasd to control my character movement i've also mapped the camera movement to the other stick and abxy to the four buttons here it takes some trial and error to get your keys and buttons set up comfortably but once you've done that you just go and click save up here and that will save that profile for you for that game and that's it if this video helped you give it a big thumbs up and subscribe to the channel to show your support i'll see you in another video later
