📋 About This Mod
I am not affiliated with AntiMicro, I just like their software.
REQUIRED: AntiMicro
Download AntiMicro: github
!!! This was designed around an XBOX ONE controller, I am not a console player and haven't seen a playstation controller with my own eyes since the PS3 so I have no idea what buttons are on a play station controller anymore but if it has a "guide" button like the xbox button on an xbox controller then it'll probably be completely cross-compatible !!!!
This is only a PROFILE for AntiMicro. This does not effect your game files or save file for Valheim at all. Neither does AntiMicro. But this profile was designed around the default Vanilla Valheim keyboard+mouse control scheme and without resetting your custom in-game keyboard and mouse controls it won't be compatible without you editing or creating your own AntiMicro profile.
If you are not using default keyboard/mouse control scheme in-game then you'll have to either reset them or modify the AntiMicro profile to suit your own situation
Extremely basic explanation of AntiMicro -
AntiMicro is a software that translates gamepad stick movements and button presses to mouse and keyboard events and allows for advanced controller configurations to completely control your computer or have extended functionality with a controller in a game.
AntiMicro has 8 "sets", each set allows your controller to be mapped to completely different keys/mouse events. Example:
Set 1- you setup Right trigger to click Left mouse button to swing your weapon
set 1- you also setup so you switch over to set 2 while holding down Left Trigger
Set 2 you setup so right trigger now makes you press Space to jump
So what happens is if you just press the Right trigger without pressing anything else you will simply swing your weapon, but if you hold down Left Trigger and then hold down Right Trigger you will now Jump.
HOW TO GET STARTED:
Download AntiMicro (I use the portable version personally)
Connect Controller to PC
Run AntiMicro
Download My Profile, or don't use mine and make it better since I use mods and this profile specifically isn't my daily profile for controller so its not "optimized"
Load the AntiMicro Profile
Start Valheim
Settings>Controls>Untick gamepad enabled << IMPORTANT TO AVOID CONFLICTING THE CURRENT IN-GAME CONTROLLER SUPPORT
enjoy tinkering to optimize your own controls.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fills a real gap for controller players in Valheim (10 endorsements from a small but engaged user base)
- Simple concept: just a profile, no heavy modding required
- Last updated in 2021, so it's stable for the vanilla game version of that era
⚠️ Cons
- Tiny user base (10 endorsements) means limited community testing and support
- Requires external software (AntiMicro) and manual setup, which might deter casual users
For Valheim players who want to use a gamepad but find the default controller support lacking. If you're comfortable with third-party remapping tools and don't mind a bit of manual configuration, this profile could save you time. Skip if you prefer native controller support or don't want to fiddle with external software.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Download and install AntiMicro first, then load this profile and map it to your controller.
- Test the profile in Valheim's main menu before jumping into gameplay to ensure buttons respond as expected.
- If you're using a Steam Deck or other handheld, you might need to adjust the profile to match your controller's button layout.
