Xbox Controller Button Remapper (Xbox button and/or Share button)

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:

Remapping the Share button only works when the Windows Game Recording and Broadcasting features are disabled:
