The game called Valorant is currently only available on PC, but depending on its success it would not be surprising to see the game rolled out to consoles. There will definitely be a method to use your favorite controller in Valorant, either through the limited official support in the client, or through the third party remapping software such as Rewasd.
Rewasd allows you to map controller to keyboard, reassign Xbox Elite paddles, adjust sticks and triggers to get the best thing when playing the game. To get Rewasd, you can go to the official website of Rewasd, download, and install it. then, connect your Xbox Elite to PC. In the next step, launch Rewasd. After that, create a new profile (game or app) and add a config to it. The last thing that you have to do is to start remapping.
With Rewasd, you are able to map controller to keyboard, mouse or controller again. You can select the control or press it on the connected gamepad and adjust Rewasd mapping and Gamepad mapping. The mapping of Rewasd assigns the controller to keyboard key or mouse click. When you press the gamepad button when you play, Rewasd emulates the key or click.
Gamepad mapping is able to be used to switch the controller buttons. For example, use A as B. When you remap Xbox controller to keyboard, it is better for you to switch off gamepad mapping in order to avoid accidental clicks. You can choose the Unmapped option from the list so keyboard or mouse options only perform.
When it comes to buttons, it is better to remap the controller to keyboard. As for the sticks, you may assign right or left one to move the mouse. Aside from that, you are able to map selected keys to Low, Medium, and High zones, so there will be different actions depending on how you press a stick. It is a simple thing to assign slow moving, walking and running on a stick in your favorite action game. You are also able to adjust the stick response and calibrate the deadzone. Feel free to minimize the deadzone to make the stick more sensitive or maximize it if it is too cranky for you.
The next thing is triggers remapping. First of all, choose the trigger, select a key for keyboard emulation and a control for hardware remap. Then, you are able to set a remapping for each zone: Low, Medium and High. Do you want to get more freedom while using Xbox Elite on PC. Rewasd is working on it.
The best thing about the controller made by Microsoft is Xbox Elite paddles. However, the accessories app allows assigning them to ABXY only, and it does not help if you want to use them together with buttons. The good news is that Rewasd released the power of Xbox Elite paddles and saves the day. You can click the paddle and remap it to key or mouse click.
