Gaming software to map keyboard to virtual gamepad

    Hi,

    I don't have a gamepad but want to emulate a virtual gamepad and map keyboard buttons to the vGamepads buttons. I believe reWASD can do this. The tricky part is that I need 2 virtual gamepads from the same keyboard, which I don't think it can do.

    Does anyone know software I can use for this? It's more so for an arcade machine where the buttons are mapped to keyboard buttons due to the interface I'm using to connect them to Windows.

    Ultimately what it means is I have 1 "keyboard" and I need windows to think there's 2 gamepads and the gamepad buttons need to be mapped to keyboard buttons that I can configure, and must allows all keys like Left CTRL, left ALT, left Shift and space.

    Thanks.
