Sometimes, we need to run or play a game which doesn’t support our xbox 360,ps2,ps3 gamepads or our gaming joysticks on computer, or sometimes just to simplify things and game playing, as playing using the normal keyboard + mouse combo can become tedious and boring too. Just imagine using an analog control (stick) and moving it instead of using the normal combination of A,S,D,Z,W to move the object or character , and using another stick to change the view :) , sounds interesting ? isn’t it , well indeed it is! , so following are 3 best free gamepad controller softwares which will help you to easily map keyboard inputs to mouse and thus get an edge playing the game!
