Private by default

Your inputs stay between your phone and your PC. Nothing leaks onto the network, even on shared Wi-Fi, and nobody else can grab your controller.

How it stays private →

Every input surface

Sticks, triggers, gyro aim, touchpad, lightbar, rumble, battery. Everything a modern controller does, all the way to your game.

All the features →

Steady as a cable

It finds your PC on its own and quietly reconnects if your Wi-Fi hiccups. The pad just stays connected, with no fuss.

    Your phone becomes a controller your games recognize. Rumble, motion, touchpad, and lightbar all come back to your hand. It feels wired.
