Information


- If you want to connect more than one controller with your PC, please configure amount of gamepads in the server application

Note: If your game doesn't recognize the virtual gamepad as input device, this could have several reasons. Some new games just support XBox360 gamepads and won't work with other gamepads like the DroidJoy virtual controller. If you want to play a game which only supports xBox360 gamepads you can try the x360ce tool. Note, there is no guarantee that the external x360ce application fully supports DroidJoy or any of your games. Please try the free demo version before installing the application.

A developer who loves his creation! In addition to this being the best of such apps I've come across so far, I'm also impressed with the developer's commitment to consumer satisfaction and responsiveness. Like some others, I initially thought all the positive ratings looked off and strange but after trying the lite version I just had to go pro ! 😂 Kudos to the developer. The app is worth the cost. Runs smoothly and I can customize to suit my preference.

My current dedicated Bluetooth gamepad only works with my Android devices, but not my Windows 10 laptop. DroidJoy solved this problem as it worked immediately after setup and was very easy to customize. A worthwhile purchase. Please keep up the excellent work!

Good app with great dev support. I've listed the main reasons why in the lite version. Also, to further enhance your experience, make some r1/l1 triggers (for the lack of a better term) then insert it in the top corners of your phone. This way, you can basically turn yout phone into a nearly accurate controller.

This app works as described. This developer has put in extra time to provide documentation and a walkthrough. Additionally, they use github, the Windows 10 driver is signed properly, the app looks great, and above all else... it works and is detected by Windows 10 as a proper gamepad! Awesome job. To those people who have given 1 star because you need tech support, ask for help before you give a bad rating. This is a great app!

"Joy" indeed! I used this virtual controller as an additional control for MS Flight Sim. Had a blast controlling the aircrafts with one hand and cameras with another. Also had to use mobile as hotspot so WiFi was not available, lo and behold the app supported Bluetooth! Server couldn't broadcast so manual MAC entry was available! How thoughtful !

Var. Jan 27, 2021     

This is a great app! I was on the search for something like a keyboard script that toggles the movement keys to be able to give "slower" input for video game movement speeds. I was close to buying an actual controller but for such a small gimic this does even better! Thank you a lot! Hope you doing good out there ^^

Amazing app! I am over the moon that you can make your own customized controller and calibrate each item to fit the game being played. Using the accelerometer on the phone basically gives you a steering wheel for your racing games on the computer. I recommend this to everyone!

Dom. B. Jul 4, 2020     

Great app, but when using accelerometer there is no way to calibrate it, meaning that its resting position is always flat, and playing anything holding the phone flat is quite difficult. Its a pretty important feature for any racing game to get fine tuned input.

The best android gamepad out on playstore. Keep up the good work! Everything works brilliantly, however controls sometimes freeze (if i go forward for example for one second approximately I can't do anything else or stop), but bluetooth connection solves the problem :)

Jas. G. May 3, 2020     

Working really well for me. It has all the options I need. Only things that would improve it for me is a server that works with raspberry pi, and the option to set the phone volume buttons mapped to control buttons.

The. Jul 1, 2021     

COMPLETELY USELESS! It could not connect to my PC no matter what I tried or what connection method I used not even bluetooth when my phone was clearly connected to my PC. They also expect you to install a server program on your PC that almost does try to install something that seems suspisious before the setup is complete. Also on the website they are not clear about which server program you need & there are at least 8 versions(both US & UK) & its not clear on which one you'll need.

I love it so much! It made my dreams come true. I've always wanted a console for gaming. This is the perfect controller app since all the key mappings and auto xinput work quite awesome. And it works online too. Thanks to who developed this. May your life be blessed.

Ach. A. Jan 31, 2019     

Perfect, emulates analog input properly. A bit of lag though that is to be expected. Using this for Elite Dangerous to supplement the mouse and keyboard for when delicate lateral/vertical thrust is required.

วัช. ศ. Jan 17, 2020     

Good app accept the AYXB button cant be place sperat from each other. There r only four options u can only just use one big A button or just AB button or all 4 button. If possible please add the the ability to place those 4(XYBA) button separately anywhere on the screen or put one more button layout like the one you have with AB,XY,ZC accept with just AB,XY. Just 4 button instead of 6 as ZC doesn't seem to work.

Dj. A. Mar 15, 2021     

Works, but only supports touchscreen and gyro, no support for physical gamepads that you insert your phone into. Would of been perfect if i could of used my mobile type-c gamesir x2 gamepad but you can only move withing the apps menus using it, which shows the app can see the controller, just will not map it when in gamepad mode.

Lev. R. May 3, 2020     

The best app I've ever used. My laptop recognized the controller as an Xbox controller, which is amazing. I was having issues until I decided to try *running the app via Bluetooth mode.

Dee. K. O. Aug 20, 2020     

I was hoping that this app would have motion sensor feature for racing games like F1 2018 but it disappointed me on this. It would be great if we get this feature in upcoming update. Giving you 5 star after you resolved my issue. Thanks Great work.

Fra. J. Feb 7, 2022     

Good design, follow the instructions to set up. A little tricky for first person shoters, but works.

TAK. K. Nov 18, 2020     

Maybe I didn't know how to use it, but the app got stuck in the looking for server screen and never got past it, even after restarting the phone, so try it if you are more ready to invest 30 mins in setting it up

Tom. B. Aug 4, 2019     

This app is amazing, I can play all my games with the Windows treating the emulator as a real Xbox controller! I'm more than surprised and definitely can recommend it!

Rob. V. Jan 10, 2020     

Great app really does work although if possible prehaps add PS and Xbox 360 button textures. Other than that this is a great app. Well done team.

Pat. W. May 31, 2020     

Much better to use than steam remote play (4 players co-op , not enough controllers ) as it's easier to set up. Great app!

Mam. May 28, 2020     

Finally! I didn't have to buy an xbox controller to play games! But there 1 thing missing... I want to customize per each button (like button A, B, Y and X separately)...

Mic. R. Apr 10, 2020     

Did not expect that this app existed in the playstore. Plus point for the dev documentation. ---- Hoping that the dev add a feature where you can edit the theme of the joypad.

Nav. S. Apr 17, 2020     

Best gamepad app.tries a lot of apps but this works as expected. One request basic xbox nd playstation gamepad layout should be provided.

Joh. P. G. Nov 27, 2021     

Needs an easier orientation toggle if auto rotate can't be done. Also stick feedback for corners would be nice

zax. f. Dec 27, 2020     

Very good apps, was bought 2 joystick, but still unable to fully utilised for some game, but this apps is perfect to control my game. Worth for money.

Mac. C. May 1, 2020     

App is great but I tried to configure octopus with it to use my Bluetooth gamepad as pc gamepad and message that app is not licensed appeared while octopus was launched...

Ale. S. Apr 17, 2020     

Almost no input lag, fairly cheap, great customization. Using it to play Cuphead :)

Moh. I. Jun 1, 2021     

Very Understanding developer. had some issues with payment but they were resolved ASAP thanks to the developer. highly recommend this app as it does exactly what it says!
