Hi, thanks for suggestion

To make it work like an Xbox controller on your PC, you’ll need something like ViGEm (Virtual Gamepad Emulation Framework) on the PC side. With this, you can emulate XInput actions based on the messages received from DroidPad. The app doesn’t support direct USB serial communication right now. But you can still get it working over USB by using ADB port forwarding or ADB reverse.

To make it work over USB:

• First, enable USB debugging on your Android device (Developer Options).
• Plug your device into the PC with a USB cable.
• Run this adb command on your PC:

  adb reverse tcp:8080 tcp:8080

  What this does is forward any data sent to port 8080 on the phone to port 8080 on your PC.
• Now, go into DroidPad and set up the connection:
  • Choose WebSocket or TCP in the settings.
  • Set the IP to 127.0.0.1 (loopback address) and port to 8080

Set up a TCP or WebSocket server listening on port 8080 to grab whatever DroidPad is sending. This communication will still be IP based but on USB
