AntiMicroX is a graphical program used to map gamepad keys to keyboard, mouse, scripts and macros. You can use this program to control any desktop application with a gamepad on Linuxπ§ and Windows πͺ.
It can be also used for generating SDL2 configuration (useful for mapping atypical gamepads to generic ones like xbox360).
We support X.org and Wayland.
Features:
- Mapping of gamepads/joystick buttons to:
- keyboard buttons
- mouse buttons and moves
- scripts and executables
- macros consisting of elements mentioned above
- Assigning multiple switchable sets of mappings to gamepad.
- Auto profiles - assign profile to active application window (not in Wayland note).
This program is currently supported under various Linux distributions.
This application is continuation of project called AntiMicro
, which was later abandoned and revived by juliagoda.
Legacy repositories:
- First AntiMicroX repository: https://github.com/juliagoda/antimicroX
- Second, maintained by organization: https://github.com/AntiMicro/antimicro

Just download antimicrox-X.X.X-AMD64.exe
from Release site and install it.
The flatpak version is distributed on Flathub, and runs on most major Linux distributions. See instructions here: Flathub application page
If you have Flathub set up already:
flatpak install flathub io.github.antimicrox.antimicrox
β Flatpak package may not work correctly with wayland (Fix available here)
Download from the release site.
It is recommended to use AppImageLauncher with this package.
Download from the release site and install .deb
package.
dnf install antimicrox
A package is available.
zypper install antimicrox
trizen -S antimicrox
or
pre-built version can de downloaded from unofficial repository called chaotic-aur.
Append (one of listed mirrors) to /etc/pacman.conf
:
# Brazil
Server = http://lonewolf-builder.duckdns.org/$repo/$arch
# Germany
Server = http://chaotic.bangl.de/$repo/$arch
# USA (Cloudflare cached)

To check signature, add keys:
sudo pacman-key --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com -r 3056513887B78AEB 8A9E14A07010F7E3
sudo pacman-key --lsign-key 3056513887B78AEB
sudo pacman-key --lsign-key 8A9E14A07010F7E3
Install package
pacman -S antimicrox
List of required dependencies and build instructions can be found here.
And antimicro
(in cases when it contains AntiMicroX)
Run antimicrox --help
or read man antimicrox
for command-line parameters.
Commandline for flatpak
In case of flatpak package AntiMicroX can be launched with command:flatpak run io.github.antimicrox.antimicrox
instead of just antimicrox
In some cases it may be good to add alias
alias antimicrox='flatpak run io.github.antimicrox.antimicrox'
fo file
~/.bashrc
If you are having problems with antimicrox detecting a controller or detecting all axes and buttons, you should test the controller outside of antimicrox to check if the problem is with antimicrox or not. The two endorsed programs for testing gamepads outside of antimicrox are sdl-jstest (sdl2-jstest) and evtest. SDL2 utilizes evdev on Linux so performing testing with older programs that use joydev won't be as helpful since some devices behave a bit differently between the two systems. Another method also exist, which can be found here.
If you would like to send the profile you are using for your application or find something for yourself, here is the forked repository. If you want to report a bug, ask a question or share a suggestion, you can do that on the antimicrox page or on the antimicrox-profiles page.
In order to obtain support, you can post an issue here.
Application's bugs will be fixed. There are created tests for detecting bugs. Of course, I'm open to proposals or questions from users.
A big, original inspiration for this program was the program QJoyPad.
