3rd party apps suggestion

Hello, I have a cheap controller that I used to play emulator games with, but because the response time is not good, I decided to connect my controller using USB OTG, and here's the problem: the emulator apps can't detect my controller. I also tried any controller tester apps, but only this one worked well. Do you have any suggestions for third-party apps that can detect my controller similarly to yours?

Hi. Unfortunately it all depends on the 3rd party app's gamepad support. Most apps have basic support at best, which is why your cheap controller isn't picked up. My app uses the same library that the Steam Client uses, which comes with a huge database of controller mappings, which is why it works well. The only thing you can do is reach out to the developers of the other apps and encourage them to improve their apps :-)

ahhh i see, it just a bit weird cause i can play with my controller easily using bluetooth connection but it isn't the same when connect with usb otg. anyway, Great apps! thanks for reply though.
