Before You Start
Prerequisites: LDPlayer 3.7 or later.; A gamepad that supports Android devices.; A game installed in LDPlayer. Gamepad mapping works only while a game runs.
## Overview A gamepad can suit many games better than touch or keyboard controls. LDPlayer 3.7 and later supports gamepad control. This guide covers checking your LDPlayer version, confirming gamepad compatibility, connecting the gamepad, and setting up gamepad mapping.
## What to expect After you connect a supported gamepad and LDPlayer detects it, the A gamepad connected message appears under the gamepad icon. When you run a game with mapping set, the mapped buttons trigger the on-screen controls you placed. If nothing responds, confirm the mode and the mapping entry before you change anything else.
## Common mistakes
- Choosing the keyboard mapping entry. Pick the one with the gamepad symbol.
- Opening mapping before the game starts. Launch the game first.
- Assuming a gamepad works because it connects. Android support is required.
- Forgetting to click Save. Unsaved changes do not apply.
## When not to use this step If a game already works with the default gamepad scheme, leave it as is. Custom mapping is only needed when the defaults do not suit you.
## Control icon reference | Control | What it does | Default or setting | | — | — | — | | Simple Touch (One Click Action) | Sends a normal tap | Mapped to the A button | | Move Control | Maps character movement, used in action and FPS games | Set by position on the screen | | Repeat click | Repeats a One Click Action automatically | 5 clicks per second, adjustable | | View Control | Changes the camera view in 3D games | Set by position on the screen | | Macro | Starts a macro after you assign it a key | Set by you |
## Verify Press a gamepad button in the game. The game responds to the mapped control.
## Notes
- LDPlayer includes default gamepad mappings for most games. Test those before you create custom mappings.
- Click Restore, next to Save, to return to the default gamepad mappings.
