Has someone tried USB-C smartphone game pad? - DrYak - 06-12-2023
Has some played around with smartphone-specific USB-C gamepads? I don't mean classical wired PC/Game console controller (e.g.: anything my Logitech). I mean the one specifically built for smartphone, where you dock the phone inside and the controller wraps around, reminiscent of Nintendo Switch's joycons (e.g.: Gamesir, .
The reason I am asking is that the one I've tried is a bit more complex that your garden variety PC gamepad.
They usually show up as two different USB HID device: A game pad and a touchscreen, and use an Android app in order to map inputs and gestures to the various buttons (this makes it possible to support games that only work with on-screen taps and swipes and don't support a controller) - (e.g.: the one I've bought by default maps one of the analog sticks as screen swipe).
So did someone try such gamepad and find a good way to map them on Linux?

I have a razor kishi controller that works well with most emulators and stuff i've tried it with on my pinephone pro.

It just presents itself as a USB joystick? Or does it handle the touch screen emulation in hardware? (and thus requires some companion app to configure)
