ReMapper DevLog

Origin of the Idea

This project grew out of a simple frustration. My brother and I would invite friends over for gaming sessions, but we only owned two controllers. Many 4-player games don’t allow mixing controller and keyboard inputs, which made things tricky.

The solution I imagined was a small device that could take one form of HID input (like a keyboard) and output another (like a joystick). It seemed like a fun side project to expand my electronics skills while solving a real problem.

From the start, I decided to make it open source and document the process along the way. That’s how this devlog began.

The name: ReMapper, because it remaps HID data.

Here’s a simple diagram of the idea at this stage:
