Lithium Pad

About this app

Use your game controller on your Windows PC or Android TV, with your Android phone as the wireless receiver.

Pair a DualShock 4 (or another Android-compatible gamepad) with your phone over Bluetooth or plug it in with a USB cable, open Lithium Pad, and it forwards every button and stick movement over your local network to your PC, where it shows up as an Xbox 360 controller that games recognize. Your PC does not need Bluetooth. On Android TV the pads appear as virtual gamepads, without going through the TV's own Bluetooth.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Install the free receiver on your PC or TV: download the Windows program or the Android TV app at https://www.lithium-dev.com.ar/en/pad
2. Connect your controller to your phone (Settings > Bluetooth, hold Share + PS until the light flashes) or with a USB cable.
3. Open Lithium Pad, pick your PC or TV from the list and tap Start.

FEATURES
• Built for local multiplayer: up to 4 controllers, each one a separate player
• Finds your receiver automatically on the network, or enter its address manually
• Wi-Fi (UDP) or TCP
• Live round-trip time and packets per second, so you can measure latency instead of guessing
• Screen dimming and keep-awake while you play, with a battery saver warning
• No account, no ads, no tracking: your inputs travel only to the device you choose

REQUIREMENTS
• A receiver on the same network: Lithium Pad for Windows (Windows 10 1809 or later, or Windows 11) or Lithium Pad for Android TV (Android 9 or later, beta; ADB debugging must be turned on once)
• A phone running Android 8.0 or later
• A DualShock 4 controller (other compatible controllers may work but are not certified)

NOTES
• PlayStation and DualShock are trademarks of Sony Interactive Entertainment. Xbox 360 is a trademark of Microsoft. Android and Android TV are trademarks of Google LLC. Lithium Pad is an independent product and is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.

What’s new
