THE CRUNCH
Iqunix has rolled out a firmware update for its EV63 Hall effect gaming keyboard that introduces controller emulation. The feature, called Gamepad Mode in the EV63 HyperCore software, lets users map keyboard keys to controller bindings. This allows for analogue-like input, such as variable walking or driving speeds, which is useful for games that support such mechanics. The update brings the EV63 in line with a small
group of Hall effect keyboard makers, including Wooting, GravaStar, and Keychron, which have long offered this capability.
Controller emulation is particularly useful for games that require nuanced input, such as varying speed based on joystick depth or trigger pressure. This feature is now available to EV63 users via the HyperCore software.
