Why WxGamepad?

A full wireless controller in your pocket — responsive, customisable, and built to run entirely on your own network.

Ultra-low latency

A direct Wi-Fi connection between your phone and PC keeps input lag down so controls feel instant and responsive.

Scan & connect

No pairing menus. The PC server shows a QR code — scan it once and you're connected in seconds.

Custom layouts

Build the controller you want — arrange buttons, sticks, and triggers, and switch between layout presets per game.

Motion & gyro

Use your phone's gyroscope to steer, aim, and tilt — mapped to joystick or key input on the PC side.

Works on any PC

The lightweight server runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux, translating your taps and tilts into native OS input.

Private & local

Play over your own Wi-Fi — controls stay on your local network. No cloud relay and no account required just to play.
