Controller Compatibility

- Mouse (need root)
- BluezIME-compatible BlueTooth keyboard/controller (e.g. PhoneJoy, iCade, Wiimote)
- OS-compatible BlueTooth keyboard/controller (e.g. keyboard/controller connected to OS 4.2 as HID device, such as iCade, iPega) *
- OS-compatible USB keyboard/controller (e.g. XBox 360, generic keyboard, some generic controller) *
- virtual controller emulated from 3rd party tools (e.g. Moga Universal Driver system-mode, Sixaxis bypass-ime mode) *

* reading analog input requires root access unless connecting controller through BluezIME
Software Compatibility
======================
This app is originally provided as an add-on for our emulators, but now works with many other apps. Not all apps are compatible, so please test during the trial period. For Motorola Bionic user, there is a ROM issue where many features only work with apps which are explicitly designed to work with soft keyboard.
For best compatibility we recommend using BluezIME-compatible controllers when physical controller is needed. Some compatibility issues can be solved with the help of root features, please contact us if you have problem.
How to call up GameKeyboard
===========================
Depends on device, ROM and target app there are many different ways to call up soft keyboard, e.g.:
- some apps have built-in option to call up soft keyboard
- some devices support using long pressing [Menu] key to call up soft keyboard
GameKeyboard also provide two methods in case the above cannot be used:
- switch to GameKeyboard Launcher, tap on the "call out keyboard after exit" button, then switch back
- turn on "Settings->[Vol. Up] Key Action" then use [Vol. Up] as hotkey

10 stars if I could give them! The dev is incredibly helpful. I was having trouble using a wiimote through bluez.ime. The dev rewrote the program in less than 2 days, and sent me a beta version to test. Wow, not many people give service like this. Awesome app, packed with options and works beautifully. Thanks again Dev!

Doesn't work with GTA III the only reason I downloaded this was to make it work with grant theft auto 3, and I don't know if im screwing it up or id its just incompatible, but everywhere I looked for how to configure GameKeyboard with GTA III didn't work with me

Shady developer Hard to recommend if the dev is going to sabotage other apps and then lie about it

Serious compatibility issues App dose not work with any flavor of dosbox but the authors own. App does not function in numerous other games. Author blames the other apps for the problem. When it works its nice but doesn't work often enough to warrant the price
