JoyLink: PC Bluetooth Gamepad

🎮 Bluetooth gamepad for PC, Mac, Linux and Android TV — nothing to install on the other side

Your Android phone shows up as a standard Bluetooth game controller, touchpad and TV remote. Pair it once with a Windows PC, Mac, Linux machine, Android TV or another phone and it works like any wireless gamepad: no receiver app, no dongle, no root.

💡 Popular ways people use JoyLink

• Play emulators and Steam games on a laptop that has no controller

• Navigate Android TV, Google TV or Fire TV and type with your phone keyboard

• Couch gaming: control the PC from the sofa

• Retro gaming on a Raspberry Pi or RetroPie without buying a pad

• Two phones, two players on one computer

🕹️ Bluetooth Gamepad for PC, Mac & Linux

• Xbox-style layout: dual analog sticks, D-pad, A B X Y, LB/RB, LT/RT, Start and Select

• Standard (DirectInput) controller for Steam, emulators and any game that supports generic pads; Steam Input covers XInput-only titles

• Lag on par with a regular Bluetooth controller; auto reconnect, keep screen on, hold-to-exit

• Haptic feedback and a built-in button tester that shows what the host receives

🖱️ Touchpad, Mouse & Keyboard

• Tap, two-finger scroll, right click and drag gestures

• Type with your phone keyboard — ideal for TV boxes and media PCs

• Works as a wireless mouse and keyboard for iPad and iPhone too

📺 TV Remote for Android TV, Google TV & Fire TV

• D-pad navigation, Back, Home, Menu and power off

• Volume, mute, play/pause, skip and channel up/down

• Number pad and a text panel for search boxes

🧩 Custom Layouts, Turbo & Macros

• Move, resize and fade every control; up to 8 layouts for different games

• Turbo (rapid fire) on any button; record a combo once, replay it from one macro key

🏎️ Racing Wheel for PC, TV & Emulators: Tilt to Steer

• Hold the phone sideways and tilt to steer — for hosts whose screen can't tilt

• Pedals on LT/RT out of the box; analog, left-stick and retro presets for sims and emulators

💎 Free forever, Pro is a one-time purchase

Connecting, pairing and the standard gamepad are free — no time limit, no ads. Pro adds touchpad, TV remote, racing wheel, custom layouts, turbo & macros and two extra themes for a single one-time price, not a subscription; try each Pro feature once before you buy.

🛡️ Privacy first

JoyLink only asks for the Nearby devices (Bluetooth) permission plus a status notification. No account, no sign-in; your inputs go over Bluetooth to the host and nowhere else.

🎯 JoyLink turns the phone in your pocket into the Bluetooth gamepad, touchpad or TV remote you're missing. Pair once and play.

⚠️ Before you install

• PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch only accept their own controllers — JoyLink can't connect to consoles

• iOS games don't read generic Bluetooth gamepads: on iPhone and iPad JoyLink is mouse and keyboard only

• Some phone makers disable the Bluetooth gamepad role in firmware and no app can turn it back on; JoyLink checks on first launch

• Every host maps buttons its own way; the button tester and FAQ cover the common cases

• The racing wheel is for PC, TV boxes and emulators — most mobile racing games don't take controllers
