joy2key: an excellent joystick to key converter for windows

There are some games that does not allow you to use your most favorite joystick.
They force you to play the game using keyboard. Again, some games use pre configured joystick configurations that you can not change easily.

But joy2key solves your problem very easily. When you run this program, it allows you to map your joystick buttons to corresponding keyboard buttons.
Means, you can make the 'A' button of joystick to act like a Keyboard "Enter" and so on.


Also, it lets you save your settings in text format, so you can easily share them, or create backup copies.
This software is very small. You can view details about it from this website:

BTW, a similar software for linux exists by the same name, but I didn't review that.
