Features & Capabilities

GameKeyboard + is a comprehensive mapping tool designed specifically for gamers who want to customize their controls across different devices. It allows users to seamlessly play keyboard/gamepad-only games with touchscreen, or vice versa, bridging the gap between various input methods.

Key features include a customizable on-screen gamepad with multi-touch support, full QWERTY keyboard, and the ability to re-map physical keys. Users can save key mapping profiles and create macros for autofire, combo keys, and action sequences. Advanced root-only features enable emulating touchscreen actions, analog joysticks, and virtual mouse input, making it compatible with devices lacking a touchscreen, such as Android TV boxes.

GameKeyboard + supports a wide range of controllers, including touchscreen, accelerometer, mouse (root required), Bluetooth keyboards/controllers, USB controllers, and virtual controllers. The app is compatible with many gaming apps and emulators, though best results are achieved with BluezIME-compatible controllers. Easy toggling between modes and customizable hotkeys enhance user experience. This extension empowers gamers to enjoy games with customized control schemes tailored to their hardware and preferences.

User Reviews

GameKeyboard + enables gamepad to keyboard mapping useful especially for emulators, working without root on some devices and supporting various controllers. However, multiple users report required rooting for full functionality, an outdated and non-intuitive interface, incomplete analog stick mapping losing diagonal inputs, instability, and poor compatibility with many native games. While it works well for some devices and use cases, particularly older devices or specific setups, many users are frustrated with root requirements, crashes, and limited support for popular games and controllers.

Pros

Allows mapping physical gamepad buttons to keyboard keys, useful for emulators and games requiring keyboard input.
Works without root on some devices, enabling basic button mapping and mouse emulation.
Provides ability to create on-screen buttons that emulate mouse clicks and keyboard shortcuts.
Can be used with various controllers and devices, including GameSir X2 and Mocute controllers.
Offers some compatibility with popular emulators and certain games when configured properly.

Cons

Requires root access for advanced features like physical controller sticks working as mouse, which many users find unnecessary and limiting.
Interface and button layout editor are outdated, non-user-friendly, and finicky.
Mapping of analog sticks and directional pads is incomplete or inaccurate, losing diagonal inputs or ignoring sticks altogether.
App crashes frequently or is unstable on some devices, sometimes failing to complete button mappings.
Incompatibility issues with many native games, requiring manual input device selection each time and poor button recognition in some cases.

working? Yes it is. Can you use it? Yes. But not for game play. It asking to have device rooted. I don't need this type of app. It used to be cool but now not what I'm looking for to use dooming game play

Mapping physical gamepad to keyboard is only partial. One analog is translated into dpad and diagonals are lost. The other analog is completely ignored.
