qjoypad maps gamepad and joystick input to keyboard keystrokes and mouse actions. It allows using gamepads in applications that don't natively support them.
The tool provides a graphical interface for creating and managing input mappings. Layouts can be saved and loaded for different games or applications.

Requires evdev or joystick input devices. Some games may conflict with remapping. Layouts stored per-user. May need udev rules for device access.

qjoypad was created to enable gamepad use in Linux applications lacking native support. It's particularly useful for emulators and games that only support keyboard input.
