Basic Button Mapping
Click any button on the controller diagram to open the mapping dialog. Choose between keyboard keys, mouse buttons, or advanced actions.
Quick Tip:
Start with WASD movement on left stick and mouse on right stick
Save Your Profile
Once you're happy with your mappings, save the configuration as a profile. Use descriptive names for easy identification.
Naming Convention:
GameName_ControllerType_Purpose.amgp
Test and Refine
Test your configuration in the target game or application. Make adjustments as needed for optimal comfort and performance.
Testing Tip:
Use Notepad first to verify basic key mappings work

📋 Profile Management
Effective profile management is crucial for users who play multiple games or use AntiMicroX for different purposes. Here's how to organize and optimize your profiles.
Creating Game-Specific Profiles
Profile Creation Workflow
- Start with a Template: Use a similar game's profile as a base
- Configure Core Controls: Movement, camera, primary actions first
- Add Game-Specific Functions: Special abilities, menus, shortcuts
- Test Thoroughly: Verify all mappings work in actual gameplay
- Optimize and Refine: Adjust based on gameplay experience
- Save with Descriptive Name: Include game name and purpose
Auto-Profile Switching
Automatic Profile Detection
Configure AntiMicroX to automatically switch profiles when you launch different games:
- Open Settings → Auto Profile
- Click "Add" to create a new auto-profile rule
- Browse and select the game executable
- Choose the corresponding AntiMicroX profile
- Set activation conditions (window focus, process name)
- Test by launching the game
Profile Organization Tips
Best Practices for Profile Management
- Folder Structure: Organize by genre (FPS/, Strategy/, RPG/)
- Naming Convention: GameName_ControllerType_Version.amgp
- Version Control: Keep backup copies of working configurations
- Documentation: Add notes about special mappings or requirements
- Sharing: Export profiles to share with friends or community
⚙️ Advanced Features
Unlock the full potential of AntiMicroX with these advanced configuration options that professional users rely on for competitive advantage and optimal performance.
Macro Configuration
Creating Powerful Macros
Macros allow you to execute complex sequences with a single button press:
Simple Macro Example (Reload + Switch Weapon):
Macro Sequence:
1. Press R (reload) - Hold 100ms
2. Wait 1500ms (reload animation)
3. Press Q (switch weapon) - Hold 50ms
4. Wait 200ms (weapon switch)
5. Ready for next actionAdvanced Macro Features:
- Conditional Logic: Different actions based on game state
- Variable Timing: Adjust delays based on trigger pressure
- Loop Structures: Repeat actions until condition met
- Error Handling: Fallback actions if primary fails
Sensitivity and Curve Adjustment
Fine-Tuning Controller Response
Sensitivity Settings:
- Low Sensitivity (1-30%): Precise aiming, strategy games
- Medium Sensitivity (30-70%): Balanced gameplay
- High Sensitivity (70-100%): Fast-paced action games
Response Curves:
- Linear: Consistent, predictable response
- Ease-In: Slow start, fast finish
- Ease-Out: Fast start, precise finish
- Custom: Define your own curve
Modifier Keys and Combinations
Expand Your Controller's Capabilities
Use modifier keys to double or triple your available mappings:
Modifier Examples:
Shift Layer Configuration:
Create multiple "layers" of mappings using shift buttons:
- • Layer 1 (Default): Basic game controls
- • Layer 2 (LB held): Advanced abilities
- • Layer 3 (RB held): Communication/social
- • Layer 4 (Both held): System/meta controls

🛠️ Troubleshooting Configuration Issues
Even with perfect setup, configuration issues can arise. Here's how to diagnose and fix common configuration problems quickly.
Common Configuration Problems
Problem: Mappings Work Sometimes But Not Always
Possible Causes:
- Profile auto-switching conflicts
- Application focus issues
- Conflicting software (Steam Input, etc.)
- Timing issues with macros
Solutions:
- Check auto-profile rules for conflicts
- Ensure target application has focus
- Disable Steam Input for the specific game
- Add delays to macro sequences
- Test with a simple application like Notepad first
Problem: Analog Sticks Not Responsive Enough
Quick Fixes:
- Reduce deadzone to 2-5%
- Increase sensitivity to 70-80%
- Change curve to "Ease-Out" for better initial response
- Disable smoothing for immediate response
- Check for stick drift and calibrate if needed
Problem: Macros Execute Too Fast/Slow
Timing Adjustments:
- Increase delays between macro steps
- Adjust hold times for key presses
- Use the macro recorder to capture natural timing
- Test in different games (some need longer delays)
- Consider system performance impact
