Gainput
A cross-platform C++ input library for games, handling gamepads, keyboard, mouse, and touch with a unified interface.
What is Gainput?
Gainput is a cross-platform C++ input library designed for game developers, providing unified handling of gamepads, keyboards, mice, and touch inputs across multiple operating systems. It solves the problem of fragmented input APIs by offering a consistent interface while supporting both low-level device access and high-level user-defined button mapping.
Game developers working with C++ who need portable input handling across desktop and mobile platforms, particularly those building games requiring multi-device support and input remapping capabilities.
Developers choose Gainput for its minimal dependencies, lightweight design, and comprehensive feature set including network synchronization and gesture recognition, all without relying on STL, exceptions, or external libraries.
