Bring the controls you already own.
Axis works with Android-recognized HID gamepads over Bluetooth or USB, plus compatible keyboards and mice. Recognition can vary by device, connection, and system version.
Other standard HID gamepads, keyboards, and mice may also work when Android recognizes their inputs.

Questions, answered
Know what Axis does before you install it.
Straight answers about input compatibility, activation, game integrity and real-world performance.
Visit supportWhich input devices work?
Axis is designed for gamepads, keyboards, and mice that Android recognizes. Gamepads can connect through Bluetooth or USB, while keyboard and mouse behavior depends on the device and connection. Confirm recognition on your device before mapping.
Can I use a keyboard and mouse?
Yes. Map keyboard keys for movement and actions, then use mouse movement, buttons, or the wheel where the game’s touch layout supports them. The exact inputs available depend on Android, the connected hardware and the game.
Does Axis require root?
No. Android 11 and later can use the built-in Wireless Debugging activation path. Android 8–10 can use supported external Shizuku or a manual computer ADB activation path. Root is an optional path, not a requirement.
Does it modify a game or its files?
No. Axis maps physical inputs to the touch controls already presented by the game. It does not patch or replace game files.
What latency should I expect?
Response depends on the Android device, game, input device, connection and selected mapping. A direct USB controller connection can reduce wireless-link variability, but no fixed latency number applies to every setup.
How do Core, packs and Ultimate work?
Axis uses one-time access options: Core for the essential experience, optional packs for focused capabilities, and Ultimate for the complete available set. Current local pricing is shown through Google Play inside the app.
Where can I get help?
