Publisher's description
From KALiNKOsoft :Instantly add game pad and joystick support to any computer game with Pinnacle Game Profiler. This software allows you to emulate your keyboard and mouse with your game controller, and otherwise customize the controller's behavior. Many PC games do not directly support game controllers, but with Pinnacle Game Profiler you can use any controller to play any game. Games that normally require an awkward keyboard and mouse control system can now be played with your favorite game pad or joystick. Create your own profiles or use the built-in Pinnacle update feature to download pre-made game profiles. This software gives you the power to tie simple or complex keyboard sequences to each of the buttons on your controller, even create rapid-fire commands. Pinnacle offers many features, such as the ability to map walk and sprint combinations to a single joystick, and auto-detect game profiles.
What's new in this version:
Version 4.7 includes new Wiimote support and full XBOX 360 support with force feedback.

Version: Pinnacle Game Profiler 4.8
"I just didn't like it that well"
Pros: It has many features, is very customizable and is feature-packed. I also believe it's worth your money if you decide to buy the full version.
Cons: The program is slow on older machines, and I had some problems installing the trial version on Windows XP. The interface is not very user friendly, and I hated the options window (impossible to navigate through)
Summary: If you want a feature-packed joystick-to-mouse/keyboard program, and you have a relatively new machine (maybe one or two years old), this is probably something you want to try.
If you just want something basic, fast and free, you should... read more >> -

Version: Pinnacle Game Profiler 4.8
"Wonderful and somewhat uncommon..."
Pros: - Does what it says it will do.
- Inexpensive compared to other similar products.
- Feature rich.
- Runs solidly and consistently.
- Profiles your control pad to your desktop. In the event of a mouse failure your butt is covered.Cons: - Setting up profiles can be extremely confusing to the new-bee user.
- Pre-made game profiles should be more recognizably categorized.
That's about it. Not enough to warrant an uprising so I still give this bad boy a rating of total excellence.Summary: If you have legacy games that still enthrall you then look no further. You owe it to yourself to download the trial of this utility. I'm still having death match fun with Quake Arena III and cutting the track on MotoGP 2002 enjoying the esthetics de... read more >>

Version: Pinnacle Game Profiler 4.8
Pros: It seems to work for everyone else except for me.
Cons: I ran it, nothing came up, and my mouse and keyboard became unresponsive. I had to do a hard restart. Thank god I didn't set it to load on start up.
Summary: It's probably a good program but their seems to be a slight flaw that is potentially disastrous for users like myself. This is something that needs to be worked out.

Version: Pinnacle Game Profiler 4.8
"Very useful program for pc gamers."
Pros: Lets you use any controller you want, is very easy to setup and use, and has lots of pre built configurations for popular games and controllers.
Cons: None really. The only drawback to this program is the trial is over in 30 days.
Summary: If you don't like using your keyboard and mouse for games, this is a great program that will let you use any controller that will work for your pc. Their website has many downloads that will set it up for any of your games, and their creators are al... read more >>
