Gamepad to Keyboard Mapper - Transform Gamepad Inputs to Keyboard

"Gamepad to Keyboard Mapper" is a Chrome extension that enables users to map the buttons and axes of a gamepad or joystick to keyboard keys. This innovative transformation allows the use of game controllers in online browser games that only offer keyboard support. Much-needed for Chrome OS, this extension initiates by clicking the icon for adding, deleting or editing the mappings. Please bear in mind, the first button press activates the gamepad API and won't be registered, so on your first visit, press any button to get started.
