Is it possible for the app to recognize Dpad vs. Analog stick movements? Seems to limit remapping on controllers. I'd like my dpad to operate as 4 additional buttons. Edit: Dev responded quickly to inquiry and offered to assist further through email. Root required to distinguish analog vs. Dpad movements. +1 star

This app is great for anyone trying to fix the problem of PS3 controller
button issues without root. This app works on my s9 plus, when I use usb
otg to connect my PS3 controller, the triangle and circle buttons are
swapped, and the cross and square buttons are swapped, I think whoever
added support for playstation controller on Samsung Galaxy put in the wrong
mapping, and without rooting, I can't correct the problem, this app allows
me to fix that problem without rooting my s9 plus.

Lots of complaints about this app but it works perfectly for me on Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. The layout editor is really finicky, but it's outdated, so I expected that. It allows me to add buttons on my screen that emulate mouse clicks and keyboard shortcuts/keys flawlessly and without root. Emulating touches requires root, but I don't have that. I was able to play OSU Taiko by adding four buttons on screen and then remapping the outputs to the keys I set in the game, and it works great! Thanks a ton!

For starters, the interface is older than dirt; not user-friendly at all. Second, I only downloaded because I thought this was compatible for mobile games using touch screen & digital buttons WITHOUT ROOT. But when I clicked on the input method and selected "Native Controller/USB" it said the device wasn't rooted. Why should I pay for an app that STILL needs root when Octopus does it for free?

Can I get refund? The app keep on crashing failing on me. Couldn't even do mapping. I root my device xiaomi a2. Or can you guys advise me on how to set up this thing. I use mo cute 058 controller. I just need left analog, LB, LT & RB BUTTON. I DON'T WANT Other than THAT
★★☆☆☆
There is no reason for a game pad and keyboard mapper to require root. While it's not the greatest just use an app called "Octopus - Game pad, Mouse, Keyboard Key mapper". Octopus works fine (even if it's finicky) and doesn't require root.
