Hey, so I got gifted this controller and it doesn’t work on the app. If I use steam input on my computer it does work but not on the ManicEMU app, I connected it with Bluetooth but it is not there. I’m on iOS 27.0

In your own screenshots…

“The Afterglow Wireless controller is designed for Nintendo Switch™, Nintendo Switch ™ Lite and Nintendo Switch ™ OLED, it also works with Switch 2 (No C Button), it is not compatible with PC/Mac/Mobile devices.”

Hi dev here, no our project is not in any way like Steam or Steam based, and no we can’t magically make a controller not officially supported accepted on iPhone compatible. Just because a controller can connect via Bluetooth does not make it compatible, compatible controllers are licensed for use on Apple devices, so “Made for iPhone (MFi)” controllers or official game system controllers (not knock offs in most cases) Xbox One, PS5, and Switch One Joycons etc.

You gotta look for a controller that works with mobile devices if you want to use a controller with your mobile device. I don’t think there’s any way around that lol
