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
If you play through Steam, you can use Steam Input to map the right stick to your mouse I think.
I’ve only done it the reverse (mouse to stick), and not for fps, so I can’t say how smooth it is, but Steam Input is generally pretty good.
If it’s not a Steam game you can still add it to your library with the “add non-Steam game” button, and then open it through Steam
I’m actually talking about the opposite way around (Using the mouse to control the camera). I already mentioned in my post that I have tried binding my mouse to the right analog stick but I got mixed results at best.
I agree, this will be the easiest solution - just add the emulator executable to steam as game and you can use Steam Input to remap pretty much everything.
