Don't have enough freedom with the native Xbox Accessories app while using your Xbox Elite on PC? This is when you should remap your Xbox controller with reWASD. Our gamepad mapper not only reassigns keys and buttons but can also map Xbox Elite paddles to keyboard keys.

The four Xbox Elite paddles give you more control while playing. With reWASD, you can assign any action to them and take advantage of the Elite controller, even in games without native Xbox support.

Try the Gamepad Mapper That Makes Your Controller Truly Powerful

reWASD is tailored to remap controllers like the Xbox One and more. We designed this app with the Xbox Elite Wireless controller in mind, making it ideal for those using the Xbox Elite on PC who want to maximize the use of its paddles.

For users employing the DualShock 4 or DualSense on PC, there's an added bonus: reWASD allows you to partition the touchpad into zones and assign up to four different mappings to it. Additionally, Nintendo Switch Pro controller support enables you to utilize all reWASD capabilities with this gamepad. Currently, reWASD supports dozens of controllers.

reWASD enhances the native features of any supported device.

You can transform an ordinary gamepad into a Macro Controller, add a Turbo button, toggle certain keys, apply up to four configs at once, switch controls with Advanced Mapping, make your Android or iOS device a Mobile Controller, and go beyond the usual gaming experience with the Radial Menu.

  1. The best program, if you want to customize your controller! I use it with the Xbox elite series 2 and it has changed my gaming experience so extremely. now I can use the paddles in that way, how I want. a nice feature is, that you can double map buttons. I love this program and it is every cent worth.

  2. I just wanted to say thank you developers for this amazing program! I've been using reWASD (full pack) for almost a full year now and have LOVED IT! It's made my gaming experience so much more enjoyable in many games, especially for games that don't allow in-game button re-mapping.

  3. The only software of its kind I've used so far that "just works". The downside is that it isn't free and perhaps not as flexible as some alternatives, but it does everything it says, is clear and easy to use, and more importantly for me has worked with every device and piece of software I've thrown at it.

  7. I heard about rewasd through a couple forums as an upgrade from xpadder but wasnt sure in shelling out the 6$ but once i played around with the app, i realized it was totally worth it, not only that but when I had a problem with the app customer service was there helping me the entire time to get my problem fixed, definitely recommend for any gamers!

  8. Excellent app. Amazing to use for any game, customize to your play style when the game settings don't allow. You can even tweak the settings to make up for bunky controllers, or make the sensativity OP compared to your opppents.Phenomenal work ReWASD, you take the cake and eat it too.

  12. Perfection. Now go get a job at Microsoft, PLEASE.

    Kirk Robinson

  13. Whoa this software is truly a gift from above. Too bad i didn't discover it earlier. Spent countless of hours trying to solve something that your program did in no time. Looks very nice as well!

  14. This is what the Xbox Accessories app should be. Microsoft should hire these guys.

    Sam Charlize

  15. Paddles are not useless anymore, thank you!

    Maxim Volko

  16. Hey guys. So you just saved Gamestop $150 refund now I can map my elite paddles for Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen!

  17. You can remap whatever button you want or let them as usual controller input!

    Damián J. Méndez

  18. Bought an Xbox 360 Elite controller thinking that I'd get some extra buttons in the form of the paddles (to play Elite Dangerous) and was extremely disappointed that they paddles were not independent buttons. Rewasd allowed me to map keys to the paddles flawlessly, thanks!

  19. DAEMON Tools has been my favorite image mounter for many years. reWASD is another great app. Looking forward to seeing what other features get added.

    Anders Abildgren Hudecek

  22. Best app for mapping controllers, easy to understand and quick set up.

    Wendy Mcgill

  23. The perfect keybinding program that you can use for your XBoxOne controller. Thank you for making my dream come true.

    Efren Vergara

  24. The app does exactly as it promises. Remapped my controller to some keyboard keys allowing me to swap between controller and keyboard without having to re-configure the keys I used in the past. It is also a fantastic solution to not having windows 10 compatibility for the xbox one elite controller (and the only one around it seems)

    Roy Nguyen

  25. By far the easiest I've ever had to set up. Love the ease and extensive capabilities of this application.

    Tom Gregory

  26. Went out and bought a Xbox 360 Elite controller. Then I find out that with the Xbox Accessories App, the extra paddles on the back can only be mapped to existing buttons on the controller. Just about gave up hope, then I came across ReWASD! It is amazing and actually makes the Elite controller ELITE! Make your buttons whatever you want......they way it should have been in the first place. Thanks a 1000 times for ReWASD.

  28. Excellent software that beats xpadder hands down (macros coming soon) and an amazing dev team. Great Work.

    Jon Kent
