This time, I want to share how to connect a USB gamepad to Waydroid.
First, please open Waydroid. I assume that you have installed Waydroid on your PC and that it is running well.
After that, connect the gamepad to the PC's USB port. If the gamepad is connected and detected by Waydroid,You can immediately test whether you can navigate the menu in Waydroid using the gamepad's analog stick.
If you can't, please type this command in the terminal:
waydroid prop set persist.waydroid.udev true
waydroid prop set persist.waydroid.uevent true
After typing the command, stop the currently running Waydroid session and start it again. Unplug the gamepad and reconnect it. And please try again to move the menu in Waydroid using the gamepad, it should work.
If successful, you can play Android games on Waydroid using the gamepad, provided the game supports gamepad functionality. For example, you can play Minecraft.
Hopefully, this is useful!
