What is PocketPad?

Turn your Android handheld into a wireless Bluetooth HID gamepad. Windows and other devices will see it as a real game controller — no extra software needed on the host.

Features

  • Bluetooth HID Gamepad — Registers as a native game controller, no receiver app or drivers needed
  • Full Controller Support — Buttons, analog sticks, triggers, D-pad, bumpers, thumbstick clicks
  • Low Latency — Sends out compact reports, for latency that is very competitive with standard controllers
  • Screen Dim + OLED Black — Dims screen on inactivity, so it doesn't kill your battery life
  • Hair Triggers — Per-trigger option for instant full-press at minimal physical input
  • Configurable Deadzones — Per-stick deadzone sliders with scaled output
  • Exclusive Button Mode — Allows you to open other apps, while still keeping the d-pad and face buttons active

Requirements

  • Android 9+
  • Bluetooth on both device and host
  • Host that supports Bluetooth HID gamepas. It should work with Windows, Android, and Linux. Sadly no Switch support for now

How to Use

  • Install the APK and launch PocketPad
  • Tap Start Gamepad and allow Bluetooth discoverability
  • On your PC: Settings > Bluetooth > Add device > Select PocketPad
  • Pair and start gaming
