The new pop window for device pairing doesn't work right splitscreen on Samsung tablet. It blinks on and off every few seconds. If I could simply enter the pairing info in the last step of the pairing it would solve the prob.

Is it even worth it?

After setting everything following what's in the video, the app isnt working. Its not mapping the buttons X A Y B. Whenever I try to presd these button nothing is showing in the screen. The only thing I can put in the screen are the d pad and both the analog stick yet even the d pad and analog stick arent working after putting it in the exact location :(. Restarted the phone and reconnect the gamepad yet still having the same problem. Im using realme c25 and Ipega 9099. The game Im playing is anima rpg. Im not sure if it's compatible with the game or not.

Am having trouble using this method with a usb to usbc converter as the Target device is not able to access the host device. not sure if it is the adapter i am using or if it is because both cords are not usbc.

Please review razer kishi with s21, and give the tutorial for keymapper, thanks

No, the USB-C to USB-C is not classes as USB-OTG. Think of it more like a way of converting one USB port to a different type. The adaptor I used here is overkill, something like this would do just as well: amzn.to/3c7aUjP which is just converting the USB-C to a USB-A female port. You could then use a standard USB-A to USB-C to connect to your other phone. The USB-C to USB-C cable I'm using is just a standard cable that came with my S20 Ultra last year.

I used Huawei Matepad since they give you a free keyboard. I tried using this method only for my phone to be activated and not the tablet.

On that note one app to try and watch for further development is the Odo Gamepad mapper. No root or any type of activation required to use. It's analog input is buggy but here's the thing that makes it standout. Say you have a game like Pubg where the analog is natively supported and works with your controller but button presses for action don't work this app can be used to bind only the corrections you need to make without disrupting native working inputs. I use Odo Gamepad with Winter Studio's remake of Resident Evil 4 and it makes the game completely playable with a controller.
