A new way to play PC games - combining joystick movement with full keyboard and mouse control.
Modke Mimic is a unique thumbstick device that works as a standard XInput controller. When paired with reWASD, it becomes something more - a unified input setup where your keyboard, mouse, and joystick operate as one system.
Movement moves to your thumb. Your left hand is freed from WASD. Your entire layout becomes reimagined.
This is what we call a Hybrid Input System (HIS) - a new category of PC input that blends controller movement precision with the flexibility of keyboard and mouse.
Using Modke Mimic with reWASD takes just a few steps. Here’s how to build your cutting edge setup:
Mimic introduces a new category of PC control – a true Hybrid Input System that combines joystick movement with full keyboard and mouse freedom.
In most games, however, mixed input is limited or blocked. This is where reWASD bridges the gap. By remapping Mimic's stick to keyboard output and managing all connected devices as a single unified system, reWASD removes double-input conflicts and lets you use Mimic in virtually any PC game.
Since Mimic functions as a precise analog stick, reWASD gives you full control over how that stick behaves in-game. You can adjust the response curve to match your movement style, refine the deadzone to eliminate unintended drift, or make the stick more aggressive and responsive for competitive play. Whether you prefer subtle micro-adjustments or sharp directional snaps, reWASD lets you shape Mimic's output exactly the way your game demands. The result is movement that feels natural, consistent, and fully personalized – not just "plug and play," but tuned to you.
Mimic + reWASD doesn't have to replace your setup - it can expand it. Group Mimic with virtually any device and build a control scheme that goes far beyond the classic keyboard + mouse layout. Use Mimic for analog movement, keep your keyboard for fast access to abilities, and add, for example, a Joy-Con or a PlayStation Move controller for gyro aiming. Or combine Mimic with a mouse for precision shooting while another controller handles additional inputs. reWASD merges all devices into a single, consistent output, so the game sees one unified controller - while you play with a fully customized multi-device setup.
Modke Mimic is officially supported in reWASD. We work directly with Modke to ensure stable device detection, correct grouping behavior, and full stick customization inside reWASD.
