Overview Universal Control Remapper (often abbreviated UCR) is a free, open-source Windows utility designed for advanced input remapping, combination, and device merging. It is the spiritual successor to the older UJR (Universal Joystick Remapper) and is built on the Interception driver framework. Unlike simple key remappers (e.g., SharpKeys), UCR excels at handling game controllers, joysticks, keyboards, mice, and even virtual devices, allowing for complex input translation that works system-wide, including in games that block traditional macros.
If you need a “set and forget” solution, buy ($7–$20) or use JoyToKey (free/donationware). If you enjoy configuration depth and want full control without paying, UCR is worth the struggle. universal control remapper
Try AntiMicroX first for basic controller remapping. Only fall back to UCR if AntiMicroX fails to meet your needs (e.g., device merging, kernel driver required, macro chording). If you need a “set and forget” solution,
