Xpadder is a 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 26 controllers simultaneously and if a controller supports it, Xpadder can assign a button to make the controller rumble/vibrate.

[edit] Features
- Keyboard and mouse emulation.
- Profile management.
- Support for any controller recognized by Microsoft Windows
- Support rumble on capable controllers.
- Sets for using keys as a switch and emulating more keys than a controller actually has.
[edit] 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.
[edit] Development Status
- Versions of the program after 5.3 are available as payware and are officially supported on the website, while 5.3 and all previous versions are freeware.
