Productivity Guide

Beyond Gaming

Transform your productivity with controller-based workflows for creative and professional work

Professional Workflows

Discover how professionals use AntiMicroX to enhance their productivity and creativity

Video Editing

Premiere Pro / DaVinci Resolve

Professional video editors use controllers for precise timeline scrubbing, color grading, and audio mixing. The analog triggers provide variable speed control that's impossible with keyboard shortcuts alone.

Key Mappings:

  • Left Trigger: Playback speed control (variable)
  • Right Trigger: Timeline zoom (variable)
  • Analog Sticks: Precise timeline navigation
  • D-Pad: Tool switching and blade tool

Programming

VS Code / IntelliJ IDEA

Developers with RSI or those seeking alternative input methods use controllers for code navigation, debugging, and Git operations. Particularly effective for code review and refactoring workflows.

Developer Tools:

  • Code navigation with analog precision
  • Debugging controls (step, continue, breakpoint)
  • Git operations (commit, push, pull)
  • Code templates and snippets
