Wooting Double Movement

No longer supported

This tool is no longer supported. After Epic Games added native double movement to Fortnite in October 2022, we discontinued updates and maintenance for this tool. We do not recommend using it anymore.

Why we made it?

Back in the day, Epic (Fortnite) officially allowed the use of 3rd party remapping software in competitive play. This means that double movement/controller movement in competitive play was not exclusively limited to Wooting keyboards anymore.

We were happy for the Fortnite community - it was fun to ride the hype of exclusivity - but as gamers ourselves, we would also not agree with the situation. That said, we felt that all the available remapping tools were either a real hassle to set up (Key2Xinput) or added significant input delay (reWASD).

To show our support and further our irrelevancy, we decided to make our own lightweight remapping tool for the Fortnite community that was easy to install, instantly gave double movement, and was safe to use (no ripshit).

It was completely free and open source and worked with any keyboard, not only Wooting keyboards.

What did it do and how did it work?

Wooting Double Movement let you instantly get double/controller movement in Fortnite without needing to tweak any settings, install drivers, or follow YouTube instructions.

The default was set to the optimal angle that removed animation delay, retained maximum motion speed, and allowed diagonal movement building. You didn't need to tweak or sweat over detailed and complicated settings.

The tool transformed your WASD keyboard input into Xinput left joystick by emulating a Xbox controller using the open source device emulator ViGEm.

It used Rust for keyboard processing and ViGEm for controller emulation, with an Electron wrapper for the GUI.
