If you have an Xbox One controller or an Xbox Elite one, and you connect them to your computer to play various games, you probably noticed that sometimes they are subjected to certain limitations regarding control mapping.

One way of solving these issues would be turning to specialized third-party software solutions such as reWASD that can help you map gamepad controls to keyboard-specific actions in a few moments.

This application comes with a smooth interface that encompasses intuitive functions, making it easy even for novices to benefit from its capabilities without great efforts.

Once you run it, you can notice a bunch of game titles at the top of the screen, a gamepad graphic on the middle, a gamepad menu on the bottom and a side menu that lets you manage profiles. Easy as pie.

As we have mentioned before, the application encompasses a few pre-defined profiles, each one specific to a game. You can use profiles for Paragon, Pocket Tanks and Rocket League, or create your own ones by clicking the plus-shaped button and specifying the executable path and box art, if available. Your newly created profile will appear next to the existing presets.

The profile can be named, renamed, applied and deleted, according to your preferences. You just have to select it from the top row of profiles and use the side menu on the left of the screen to perform the aforementioned actions.

Clicking the "Edit" button after selecting a profile lets you customize your gamepad so that it can perform keyboard actions. It is possible to alter settings for each specific button, the D-pad, the left stick and the right stick.

Assigning a new function is easy as one-two-three, as you only need to choose a button to map, and a key on your keyboard that will replace it. You can even map media functions, such as skipping to the next track, raising the volume, refreshing the page, putting your computer to sleep or launching your email client, even if your physical keyboard lacks the corresponding keys.

It is worth mentioning that reWASD is the first application ever designed to help you remap Xbox Elite controller paddles to keyboard functions, since its buttons are unique. Thus, it enhances the gaming experience by letting you configure the Elite controllers according to your preferences.

To sum it up, reWASD is a reliable application that can help you remap gamepad controls to keyboard keys or functions in a quick, convenient manner. It comes with a simple interface that packs intuitive functions and provides you with a bunch of pre-defined profiles, to serve as an example or help you jump straight into action.
