Xbox Controller Button Remapper

A small program that runs in the background and sends the configured key(s)/triggers action when the Xbox button and/or Share button is pressed on the controller.

Supports capturing screenshots directly without any other program involved so the button prompts do not change in the game after pressing the Xbox/Share button on the controller to take the screenshot.
Can also capture screenshots using keys on the keyboard.

Can also open any file using keyboard key and/or controller button so the button prompts do not change in the game.

Configure the program using the config.ini file.

Works with the Xbox Series X|S Controller that has the Share button.

Make sure that the controller is updated to the latest firmware version. (Instructions: Update your Xbox Wireless Controller)

Remapping the Xbox button only works when the Open Game Bar using Xbox button on a controller setting is disabled:
Enable or Disable Open Game Bar using Xbox button on Controller in Windows 10
Enable or Disable Open Game Bar using Xbox button on Controller in Windows 11

Remapping the Share button only works when the Windows Game Recording and Broadcasting features are disabled:
Enable or Disable Windows Game Recording and Broadcasting in Windows 10
Enable or Disable Windows Game Recording and Broadcasting in Windows 11
