    it does not have any of the features that REWASD have and other free alternatives does, it's far outdated and obsolete

    Much more flexible and much more control. Does things that ReWASD "hopes to do in the future" (from their own support forum).

    a similar problem as joy2key, but in the opposite direction, it's a 1-way street software and a 1-trick pony, it only allows xbox controller output, it does not work for keyboards and does not allow games with features outside xinput like racing wheels, flight simulators, and other games that needs more than 12 buttons

    this is altogether a completely different software, the features overlapping with REWASD are very little, and there are free, portable, and native solutions and alternatives for windows that already do a better job

    Much more feature complete, not really ugly, can´t be used on newer windows builds though, Windows 10 1703 and 1809 should be able to launch it
