Store listing

Full description
Turn your Android tablet or spare phone into a real Bluetooth joystick your PC recognizes like physical hardware. HOTAS Controller registers as a Standard Bluetooth HID game controller — no PC software, no drivers, no cables. Features • Joystick with self-centering X/Y axes. • Up to two throttle Levers. • Rudder axis, hat switch, toggle switches and push buttons. • Place and scale everything on a "desk" — your personal cockpit Surface. • Lock the desk in Play mode: screen stays awake, nothing moves mid-flight. Remove Limitations Lite is a complete controller: up to 5 controls per desk, 2 desks, core control features. HOTAS Controller Pro removes all limits and adds Control rotation, two-button switch mode, afterburner detents and response curves. Instructions 1. Build your controller layout in the app. 2. Pair with your PC over Bluetooth. 3. Bind axes and buttons in your Simulator. 4. Enjoy the flight experience. Game Controller Because it simulates a standard Windows game controller, it is fully compatible with all major space and flight simulators on the market. Map your controls effortlessly in your favorite combat flight sims, civil aviation simulators, space sandboxes, and arcade air-combat games without needing special drivers or third-party mapping software. Compatibility Acting as a Bluetooth joystick (HID device role) requires Android 9+ and is not supported by every device's Bluetooth firmware. The app checks this on launch and tells you immediately — try Lite first before buying Pro. Privacy No internet access, no ads, no tracking, no account. Everything is stored on your device. Desks can be exported and imported as files to share or back up.
