## Description

BrickController 2 is a versatile Chrome extension that enables you to control your LEGO MOCs (My Own Creations) seamlessly using Android-compatible gamepads. It supports a wide range of receivers including SBrick and SBrick Plus, BuWizz versions 1, 2, and 3, Powered-Up HUB, Boost HUB, Technic HUB, and Power Function infrared receivers (on devices with infrared emitters).

While BrickController 2 offers extensive compatibility, users should be aware of known issues such as port swapping on certain BuWizz 2 devices and profile load/save limitations on Android 10 and above. As a hobby project, the extension is continuously evolving, though updates and new features may be limited due to resource constraints. Nevertheless, it provides a powerful tool for LEGO enthusiasts looking to bring their creations to life through intuitive gamepad controls.

## Review summary

Overall, users praise the app for ease of use and versatile controller mapping, plus strong support for BuWizz and Control+ and its value for LEGO MOC builders. Recurring negatives involve limited compatibility with some third-party hubs, occasional detection/scanning/connection issues, privacy/permission concerns, and a desire for better documentation and broader off-brand hardware support.

### Pros

- Easy to use and easy to map multiple controllers (Xbox/PS4/Switch) to LEGO builds
- Good support for various controllers and third-party hubs (BuWizz, Control+)
- Widely praised as the industry standard for LEGO MOC builders and often preferred over the official app
- Works well with older LEGO creations
- Offers broad versatility and power for LEGO enthusiasts

### Cons

- Inconsistent compatibility with some third-party hubs/devices (e.g., Circuit Cubes, Mould King, newer Porsche hub)
- BuWizz 2.0 firmware updates can break detection and cause connectivity issues
- Privacy/permissions concerns related to location data and access to private data
- Device discovery/connection stability problems (scanning errors, inability to scan after successful initial use)
- Lack of comprehensive in-app documentation and limited support for off-brand hardware
