They are switching to a yearly subscription model. Half a gamepad per year for one device. That stinks.
If you bought a key, you can keep using it.
reWASD information
What is reWASD?
reWASD is a gamepad mapper that lets you remap Xbox One, Elite and 360 controller to keyboard and mouse. The main unique thing about it is about Xbox Elite paddles: only reWASD allows working with them as with separate buttons. Also, the app allows map Xbox controls to keyboard keys, mouse buttons, moves and scrolls; and to Xbox controls back.
reWASD includes several additional settings to adjust sticks, triggers; add mappings to zones of the analogue controls and many more. You can also create up to 4 Shift configurations: the same amount of mappings as in a main configuration, but activated with a modifier.
You can create a config from stretch or download the ones created by other users from reWASD Community.

The only software of its kind I've used so far that "just works."
The downside is that it isn't free and perhaps not as flexible as some alternatives, but it does everything it says, is clear and easy to use, and more importantly for me has worked with every device and piece of software I've thrown at it.
Fortunately, Universal Control Remapper (with the latest pluguns) exist. Same, easy to use.

easy to use with lots of features
They are switching to a yearly subscription model. Half a gamepad per year for one device. That stinks.

The only thing ReWASD has got going for it is building a virtual controller out of two or more controllers.
Other than that, it lacks even the basic options you find in other device remappers, like pressing a key for a set number of milliseconds.
The interface, while pretty, is clunky and has frustrating limitations: you can map a sequence of actions to a button being pressed but not to a button being released for example.
The program is split into sections, solely to make it look cheaper than other options like Xpadder at $9.99, but to get any comparable functionality, you have to buy addons which takes the price to double that of Xpadder (which is of course forgetting that the last version of Xpadder - which is still more capable at mapping keys - is available as a free download).
Disapointed purchase. At double the price I assumed it would be at least as capable as Xpadder. I was wrong.
Pointless waste of $20USD. This program is: - cut apart to nickel & dime you - badly made - unstable - obsolete post-steam - $20USD - redundant - sold by virus peddlers at Daemon 0/10 this app is absolute trashware. Avoid. All functions and more can be done with Steam for free.
Oh and the devs will randomly force you on to new unstable bugged versions to try and enforce their ridiculous anti piracy fanaticism! App doesn't work? Who cares? Gimme $20!
DISGUSTING.DO NOT BUY.
If you want free, look elsewhere. This costs money.
The software itself is absolutely GREAT.
It worked for about a week for me, then asked me for a license key. They want 6 bucks. Not a lot of money, but still about 6 dollars more than I would pay for software that does a heck of a lot less than many other free applications.
It's the only app that really works with Elite paddles. Essential for Xbox Elite controller users!
