I’ve been playing some older console FPS games lately and my aim with sticks is beyond rusty after not aiming with a pad in over a decade.
On the Windows side some people have made “mouse injectors” like KAMI and MouseInjectorDolphinDuck.
Rather than just binding the right stick to mouse inputs (which I have tried and it feels awful when it even works at all). It injects into the game/emulator directly to mimic mouse look as close as possible to a native PC titles.
Can’t seem to find any similar projects being worked on for Linux? Or am I just blind a missing something obvious again?
KAMI has some Linux build stuff in the repo but according to the dev it’s “Just some scaffolding” and not actually supported.
Edit: fixed spelling
Yeah, I wasn’t sure if you could or not, but my experience with it has been that you can pretty much bind anything to anything so I thought there might be a way. I’ll have to check for myself next time I’m at my laptop.
Also I’m not sure Steam Input emulates anything either. I believe (could be wrong), it’s a translation layer much like Proton is. Which apparently is distinct from emulation.
Anyway, good luck.
