GamerPad: Phone Gamepad

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.
