Where Does Input Remapper Store Presets?
Input Remapper v2 config, device presets, service and autostart files.
Last updated
Input Remapper version 2 keeps everything under a suffixed config folder. The main JSON carries global options plus autoload mapping. Presets nest per device and name below.
Systemd and autostart entries run the service and loader. Udev rules grant device access. Version 1 paths without the suffix belong to older installs only.

Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Input Remapper?
Copy the input-remapper-2 folder with the service stopped. The main JSON holds autoload mapping. Presets branch per device beneath. Restoring means putting the folder back and restarting the service.
Where is the autoload file?
Autoload is a key inside the main JSON executed through the control command, not a separate file. Old guides naming the unversioned folder describe version 1 only. Current installs use the suffixed folder.
