I hate as a person what I'm forced to do as a user
For gamepad control it looks like there is a program to do just that here .

What’s the best way to multiple inputs to a single pushbutton?
I have an unused 24mm button on my stick, and I’d like to be able to assign to it two (or more) inputs so it can be used with AntiMicroX for some other function (i.e. 'Select+R3' would press F12, which is bound to 'Reset' in Retroarch). I originally planned for this button to be used for Turbo, but I changed my mind once I realized how many possibilities there are with AntiMicroX. Like the button could run shell scripts or some win32 executable, which is pretty neat.

Playing Flash Games With a Controller
Like the other person said, Flash has no native support for that. Even games with controller support in mind (Like Super Mario Crossover) tell you to install programs for using controllers, so yeah, you would have to use an external program to accomplish this. I personally would advocate using AntiMicro which is available for free, just install and assign controller buttons to emulate key presses.

How can I set up a Logitech M590 mouse to input keyboard macros/shortcuts when pressing buttons?
Another option is key-mapper which runs as a systemd service and lets you map all kinds of things to other things.

Should You trust a keyboard re mapper
Being a previous windows user I have a mindset that I shouldn't download non mainstream or non trusted applications on my system especially the ones that have admin access or physical device access . I wanted to remap my keyboard in such way which allows me to use capslock key as backspace and alt_r key as escape. setxkbmap and Xmodmap isn't giving required results or I am not too advance to use it properly . I recently stumbled upon this program key-mapper but it requires admin access so should I trust it for daily use. ( I am not a developer and thus does not understand what any of the code does )
- how do you disable middle click paste in kde/wayland?
- I wanted to indulge in nostalgia so I created this useless 3D desktop cube extension :)
- Finally somebody made a simple GUI tool to customize keyboard mappings, mouse buttons, gamepads, pedals and other input devices. Actions, macros, combinations.
