About this app

GamepadOS turns your Android phone into a wireless — or wired — game controller for your Windows PC. No extra hardware, no dongles: your phone becomes a full standard game controller that any PC game recognizes automatically.

HOW IT WORKS Install the free GamepadServer app on your PC, scan the pairing QR code with GamepadOS, and you're connected. Your phone's touchscreen becomes sticks, buttons, and triggers; tilt the phone for gyro steering. Every input is encrypted end-to-end before it ever leaves your phone.

CONNECT YOUR WAY • Wi-Fi — scan a QR code and you're playing in seconds • USB — plug in for the lowest possible latency and zero Wi-Fi dependency

BUILT FOR SPEED The input engine samples at up to 1000 Hz and is written in native C++ for minimal delay — wired connections measure around 2.5 ms.

MAKE IT YOURS Don't like the default layout? Build your own: drag-and-drop buttons, thumbsticks, and triggers into a custom controller shaped exactly for the games you play. Save as many layouts as you want.

GYRO STEERING Tilt-to-steer with a choice of racing or 3D-look modes, adjustable sensitivity and dead zone, and haptic feedback synced to in-game rumble.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN GamepadOS has no accounts, no analytics SDKs, no ads, and no cloud. Your controller input travels directly from your phone to your PC over your own network — it never touches our servers or anyone else's.

FREE GamepadOS is free with no in-app purchases.

Requirements: a Windows PC running the free GamepadServer companion app, and a shared Wi-Fi network (or a USB cable) between your phone and PC.
Turn your phone into a low-latency wireless (or USB) controller for your PC.
