Steam Controller for Android — V1.0.0

First public release! Use the Steam Controller 2026 (Valve Ibex) as a standard Android gamepad via Shizuku — no root required. Works over USB OTG, the wireless Puck, and Bluetooth LE.

Highlights

• 🎮 4 emulation profiles: Xbox 360 / Xbox One / DualShock 4 / DualSense

Install

1. Install Shizuku and start it
2. Download and install the APK below
3. Grant Shizuku permission when prompted

Android may show a "not verified" warning at install — tap Install anyway, this is normal for apps outside the Play Store.

Known limitations

• BLE rumble payload is empirically tuned, may not work on all firmwares (logs in BluetoothHidManager)
• BLE battery not yet parsed (USB only for now)
• USB rumble not implemented
• Trackpads and gyro are parsed but not yet routed

See the README for details.
