One installer brings everything: the Gamepad Pro app, the ViGEmBus virtual gamepad driver, and a firewall rule. No .NET, no manual steps.
Gamepad Pro on your PC shows a QR code. Point your phone's camera at it — pairing is one scan, with token authentication built in.
Open joy.cpl or launch Steam — there's an Xbox 360 controller, indistinguishable from the real thing. Pick a skin and play.
Yes. The Windows companion app is a free download and the Android app will be free on Google Play as "Remote Gamepad for PC". No account, no subscription.
Anything that supports an Xbox 360 / XInput controller — which is nearly every PC game. Windows sees a real Xbox 360 pad through the ViGEmBus driver (the same technology DS4Windows uses), so Steam, emulators, and Game Pass titles treat it as genuine hardware.
Input travels as fixed 20-byte UDP packets over your own Wi-Fi, typically adding just a few milliseconds on a normal home network. Your controller input goes phone to PC and nowhere else.
Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) on the PC and an Android phone on the same Wi-Fi network. The installer sets up everything: the app, the ViGEmBus virtual gamepad driver, and a firewall rule for UDP port 7777.
No — the installer is EV code-signed, so SmartScreen recognizes the publisher. If your firewall asks, allow UDP port 7777 on your private network (the setup wizard adds this rule automatically).
Yes. Trackpad mode moves the PC cursor with two-finger scrolling and pinch-to-zoom, and you can type on the PC using your phone's keyboard — handy for couch browsing between games.
It's coming to Google Play as "Remote Gamepad for PC". Until then, watch the GitHub releases page for availability announcements.
