01 — Input

Phones into controllers.

Two open-source projects turn the Android phone in your pocket into the input device your PC never shipped with — a wireless gamepad and a full HID remote, local-first and zero cloud.

GamePadEcosystem (C#/.NET 8 + Kotlin/Compose) makes a phone a wireless Xbox 360 controller for Windows — sub-5ms latency, up to 8 players, nothing to lease. BluetoothRemoteHid (Kotlin/Compose) turns the phone into a wireless keyboard, touchpad, air mouse and media remote over Bluetooth Classic & LE HID, with no host software installed.
