"Re:To all readers"

SoftwareGuy April 16, 2013 / Version: JoyToKey 5.2.1

2013-04-16 17:34:15 | By SoftwareGuy

Pros

Decent program, I've used it before.

Cons

The CNET Installer contains unwanted programs-Read the summary.

Summary

As stated above, the CNET Installer does contain unwanted programs(you can decline the offer during set up) If you see a direct download link people, use that instead. You shouldn't have any problems.

"CONTAINS MALWARE"

servetheservant March 12, 2013 / Version: JoyToKey 5.2.1

2013-03-12 17:33:22 | By servetheservant

Pros

None - this is not even JoyToKey.

Cons

The downloaded .exe installed 3 programs, none of which were JoyToKey -- they set my browser's search/homepage and resisted uninstalling by automatically triggering new processesnamed "au_.exe", "bu_.exe" etc. each time you try to uninstall.

DO NOT INSTALL THIS

Summary

ITS MALWARE.

"This is a good product that configure joysticks"

allenq392 February 06, 2013 / Version: JoyToKey 5.2.1

2013-02-06 11:20:43 | By allenq392

Pros

works well you just have to figure out your key setups. I have generic joystick. I recommend if you have the $$$ invest in a better PC joystick. But this works for the less expensive ones.

Cons

I really do not have anything bad to say about this software. If you do not want to use it buy a Xbox PC joystick.

Summary

"A must-have for any joystick user"

b00m3rang December 27, 2010 / Version: JoyToKey 4.6

2010-12-27 14:32:45 | By b00m3rang

Pros

A very easy to use, flexible, and solid app that can convert joystick movements or button presses into any mouse or keyboard operation. Allows you to play any game that uses keyboard or mouse input using the joystick, or even navigate Windows.

Cons

Will probably require some fiddling with to customize to your personal needs, but that's not a fault of the software. Just be advised that some work is involved.

Summary

This program is great, and really makes it worth having a joystick on your Windows machine. All those games that were never meant to be played with a keyboard and mouse can now feel just like the arcade version. I even have profiles that let me use my arcade fightstick to navigate my web browser, and as a controller for Ableton Live.

"Fun, and easy to use."

Tec88 December 26, 2010 / Version: JoyToKey 4.6

2010-12-26 14:20:19 | By Tec88

Pros

It's a cool program to have if you wanna play games with a controller any controller you have (well PC con, that is)

Cons

the only issues I have is that when using the joy stick on the controller it gets touchy and will have you ducking, and jumping a lot. If they had a way to use the directional pad that would be great.

Summary

It's a must have.
