It works! It works with my Gamestop tablet wireless bluetooth controller and Tab 10.1. Now it is trial and error to see what combination of hard key buttons will work with different games. An Xperia Play preset would be a great addition (to allow for Xperia Play optimized controls on other gamepads). I would also like the ability to remap more than 10 hardkeys

What? @leighbo your out of order. This app works beautifully with onlive, gta 3 and any touch screen game. For physical keyboard phones like g2/desire z its superb especially if you have a gamegripper
★★☆☆☆
Inaceptable Las versiones nuevas son incompatibles con dosbox turbo. El desarrollador ha implementado esta incompatibilidad expresamente para elevar las ventas de su propio emulador de msdos. Aparte de eso, es un teclado/gamepad genial. Pero lo otro es inaceptable.
★★☆☆☆
Kind enough to give me a refund I tried using my wireless keyboard connected with an otg cable with this app. It worked somewhat, but it was very glitchy and didn't respond right. It has great potential though but I wouldn't recommend spending money on it. Thankfully when J requested a refund they were kind enough to give me one.
★★☆☆☆
Wish i read the reviews first! Dont buy! Doesnt work with dosbox turbo ... and apparently its on purpose! Totally wasted my money. Dont waste yours!
★★☆☆☆
Actively blocks Dosbox Turbo This developer actively blocks using this keyboard being used in Dosbox Turbo. Disgraceful.
★★☆☆☆
Bollocks If your not using it for gta 3 cheats your wasting your money. Seriously. Dont buy.

Trust & Safety: The app requests a mix of standard (VIBRATE, storage access) and powerful (SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW, GET_TASKS) permissions to enable overlays and global input features. Users should review the need for overlays and task access in relation to how GameKeyboard controls games, especially on rooted devices or with third-party input tools. The long description notes device/ROM-specific compatibility nuances and root requirements for certain features, so perform due diligence during trial and on a per-device basis.
