reWASD alternative that keeps your aim assist
reWASD is great at remapping, but when your goal is a virtual controller with mouse-to-stick conversion and working aim assist, Inputize is built for exactly that — one payment, no subscription, no extra hardware.
Why Inputize
reWASD: reWASD is a full-featured input remapper: it remaps gamepads to keyboard & mouse and back. Its focus is remapping and macros, not creating a gamepad that behaves like a real controller with aim assist.
Aim assist for K&M
Mouse movement becomes an analog stick, so the game applies its built-in aim assist while you play with a mouse — Warzone, Apex and similar shooters.
One-time price
$19.99 once, lifetime license, all updates included. No subscription and no per-year renewals.
Anti-recoil & more
Anti-recoil while firing, ADS orbital aim assist, response curves, sensitivity presets and per-game profiles.
No extra hardware
A virtual Xbox 360 controller on the ViGEmBus driver — installed automatically on first run with one click.

Questions
Short answers to the questions people ask most.
Is Inputize really an alternative to reWASD?
For keyboard & mouse → virtual controller with aim assist — yes. Inputize converts mouse movement into an analog stick, which reWASD-style remapping does not do natively. If you only need to remap buttons, reWASD remains a good tool; if you want aim assist with a mouse on PC, Inputize is built for that.
Do I get aim assist with a mouse?
Yes. The game sees a real virtual gamepad, so its built-in aim assist works on your mouse input — boosted further by Inputize's aim-assist engine and response curves.
Is there a subscription?
No. $19.99 one-time payment, lifetime license, free updates included. A 14-day refund window applies while the key hasn't been activated.
Does Inputize read or modify game files?
No. It works only with system input through the ViGEmBus driver — game files and processes are never touched.
