GamerPad: Phone Gamepad

Use your iPhone or iPad as a smoother, more responsive wireless gamepad for Windows and supported Macs.

GamerPad turns your iPhone or iPad into a wireless gamepad for Windows PCs and supported Macs.

Unlike keyboard/mouse mapping tools, GamerPad is built for controller-supported games that expect gamepad input. Install the desktop companion, connect your phone and computer to the same Wi-Fi network, and start playing with a controller layout on your screen.

Key features:

• Real virtual gamepad approach for Windows and supported Macs
• Multiple phones can connect as separate controllers
• Automatic desktop discovery on the same local network
• QR code fallback when discovery is blocked by network settings
• Dual joysticks, triggers, D-pad, and ABXY buttons
• Custom layouts for different game genres
• Forgiving touch controls that help trigger the intended button
• Floating joystick behavior that starts where your thumb lands
• Haptic feedback for button and game vibration where supported

Great for:

• Steam games with controller support
• Emulators and retro games
• Racing games and platformers
• Couch co-op and local multiplayer
• Players who need an extra controller without buying hardware

Requirements:

• GamerPad mobile app
• GamerPad desktop companion for Windows or supported Macs
• Phone and computer on the same local network
• A game that accepts controller input

Gameplay input stays on your local network during pairing and play. Analytics, crash reporting, ads, and purchases are handled as described in the privacy policy.
