JoyToKey 6.9.2

JoyToKey 是一款歷史悠久的鍵盤模擬工具，能將遊戲手把的按鈕與搖桿對應到鍵盤按鍵或滑鼠操作，解決許多遊戲不支援手把輸入的問題。它的最大特色是設定彈性高，可針對不同應用程式指定不同配置，且持續更新，評價普遍不錯，在同類工具中算是主流選擇。

適合想用手把玩老遊戲、網頁遊戲或模擬器的玩家，尤其當遊戲本身沒有完整手把支援時。與其他系統優化工具相比，JoyToKey 專注於輸入映射，功能單一但紮實。需注意它是試用版，可能有限制，且僅提供英文介面，Windows 平台限定。

JoyToKey is a fully-featured free keyboard emulator that allows Windows users to control their mouse or keyboard inputs using the buttons and thumbsticks of their game controllers.

This is especially useful for a wide variety of games that are built without full gamepad support, which includes numerous web games, standalone game applications, console emulators, and other apps.

With JoyToKey, you can take full control over the functionality of your favorite gamepad and enable its buttons and sticks to operate keyboard (single or multiple) strokes and/or mouse movement, with target application never noticing the difference.

In addition to being used for game software, It can also help general users who want to improve their general efficiency in various non-gaming apps and productivity software suites.

This is especially true for users who want to simplify their workflow and bind various frequently used shortcuts and macros to the specific button of their gamepad.

With YouToKey you can create specific profiles for all your favorite or most used programs (such as Photoshop or Web Browser) and automate specific tasks by assigning them to button presses on your game controller.

Joy To Key can be used for free under a shareware license, it is portable and does not feature installer/uninstaller, and it only requires the presence of a working gamepad to function. Joy2Key is safe & secure, tested to be virus-free.

All of its files are in their original form. Enjoy!
