Comments on DroidJoy Gamepad Joystick Lite for Android

★★★★☆ Kanishk .G · Jan 5, 2026
The app is good, but I can't find a way to connect via usb tethering. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are ok but I need usb tethering
★★★★★ Lyan Doumogha · Nov 24, 2025
The best, although I wish you didn't have to pay if you wanted to edit your pad
★★★★★ Something Aashi · Jul 9, 2025
This app is the best for those people who don't have a controller but still want to play the game with one. I used to use Monet pc remote for controller because everybody said it's better but when I tried it, it was really bad. Sometimes the buttons don't work, not responsive but when I used this app. It's very good, there are no input problems, and it is very customizable unline pc remote. For anyone using pc remote, don't use pc remote just use this app. I really like it
★★★★☆ Ajwa Farooq · Jun 21, 2024
Best Best Best app ever 💯!!! But one problem there is no LT and RT button on controller and I can't opened my custom preset so please add RT and LT buttons on controllers please and please reply!!🙏 So I am rate 4 stars!!
★★★★☆ S R · Mar 11, 2026
The good: 1. The server and app did connect. Windows11 and Android15 devices. (BT method) 2. The Windows game does respond to the virtual game pad on Android. The bad: I couldn't try out the 'Standard Template' as the Ad wouldn't load. However, I got to try out the Racing Template. In short, I couldn't try out the standard template to test out more games that's installed in my Windows PC. Anyway, I can confirm that this app isn't a scam and does actually work. Good work dev 👍. All the best.
★★☆☆☆ C.M.R · Aug 9, 2024
You should add the right and left trigger buttons because most games require all 4 RB, LB,RT and LT buttons
★★☆☆☆ Heinrich Rossouw · May 4, 2024
This app is amazing but the templates available does not have trigger functionality. In order to get that I have to pay the developer. F that. The 30 SECONDS ADS are bad enough and now this?! Find an alternative until the devs fix this blunder
★☆☆☆☆ Matthew Standley · Jun 17, 2026
Literally from the get go it tells me I have to also install it on my pc. man if I had a pc, do you think I would be trying to connect my phone to my switch? Stupid
★☆☆☆☆ Chris Jhovin Cabral · May 15, 2026
Stupid app full of ads and needed to pay for full joystick controller

DroidJoy - Lite version

Note: Does not work on consoles
*Server supports now XInput and DInput emulation*
*DroidJoy server 2.0.1. works on Windows 7 and above*

Before installing the app
1. Download the DroidJoy server software from https://grill2010.github.io/droidJoy.html#download
2. Install and start the server on your PC (If you have any problems, don't hesitate to contact me)
3. Be sure that your server and your Smartphone are in the same network. If you intend to use Bluetooth, be sure your PC is set to visible.
4. Start the DroidJoy app. Navigate to the "Connect" window and click "Search server".

Windows 10 1903 problem:
DInput is no longer supported in the server version 2.1.0. If you still need to use DInput you must use the DroidJoy server version 2.0.4 and you must have installed an older Windows version than Windows 10 build 1903.

With DroidJoy you can use your Android Smartphone as PC Joystick / Controller. Almost every game is supported due DInput and XInput emulation. Play games like GTA V, Call of Duty, Need for Speed, Sonic Mania, GTA San Andreas, Counter Strike and many more.

If you have any problems with the installation of the server, don't hesitate to contact me. I will reply as soon as possible.

!Be sure the DroidJoy server is running when you start your game or emulator. The game may not recognize gamepads which are plugged in during its runtime. In this case, simply restart your game!

Description
DroidJoy turns your Android Smartphone in a real gamepad device for your Windows PC. It offers many controller configuration possibilities, so that you can use it for multiple game genres. DroidJoy is not a simple Keyboard Mouse emulator, it is a real gamepad. The driver and the server are available for Windows 7 and above. The server can handle up to 4 DroidJoy Clients so that you can easily play multiplayer games with your friends by using only your Smartphones.

All you need is the DroidJoy server software, which you can download from the official website for free:
https://grill2010.github.io/droidJoy.html#download

If you receive some warnings from Windows or your Firewall, please don't worry.
The server has been tested on Windows Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. If you have any problems with the installation of the server please feel free to contact me at f.grill160@gmail.com.

Requirements
- Running DroidJoy server on your PC
- Android version 5.0 (Lollipop) or higher

Version 2.0
- Real gamepad emulation
* Multi Client support
* Up to 14 Buttons (limited in the lite version)
* G-Sensor support
* Buttons, volume keys, d-pad, left/ right joystick
* Use WiFi or Bluetooth connection
- X-Box 360 controller emulation with native XInput driver
- Gamepad layout configuration
* Customization of template layouts
- Easy connection Setup

Information
- If you want to connect more than one Smartphone with your PC, you have to configure the same amount of virtual gamepads in the server application.

Note: It can have several reasons if your game doesn't recognize the virtual gamepad as input device. Some new games just support X-Box gamepads and won't work with DInput gamepads. If you want to play a game which only supports PC-X-Box gamepads, you have to configure the DroidJoy server to emulate XInput devices.
