Successfully mapped gamepad buttons on compatible devices as mentioned in several reviews.

Most mentioned

Need for root access.
Outdated interface and usability issues.
Inconsistent performance with gamepads and games.

User reviews

Mapping physical gamepad to keyboard is only partial. One analog is translated into dpad and diagonals are lost. The other analog is completely ignored.

I wanted a refund. This app does not do what is says when I want to remap my buttons on the GameSirX2. Instead it just stops the buttons I remap from responding!

Les Dionisio, 2024-06-03

App works but I wish the buttons looked more modern. Would be a big improvement if they were see through and with just white outlines and yes I know I can change the transparency of it but it still looks ancient and visible because of old fashioned details.
