GCW is a free Windows only tool for creating and executing macros that are triggered by pressing game controller buttons. It is very much like Joy2Key or XPadder, but easier and more powerful. Type a macro into a text field, and you are ready to try it. Macros can send text, issue key sequences like Ctrl-p, perform mouse clicks at coordinates, and more. Built in commands allow you to run programs, open folders and known file types, toggle through open windows, change profiles.
