Bluetooth Gamepad VR & Tablet is a mobile app that turns your Android phone into a Bluetooth game controller. It connects two Android devices — one as the display (VR headset or tablet) and the other as the controller. This setup enables a wireless gaming experience without needing additional physical game controllers.

Originally known as Bluetooth Gamepad VR & TV, the app was renamed to Bluetooth Gamepad VR & Tablet to better reflect its compatibility with both tablets and VR headsets. It’s an ideal solution for casual gamers or VR enthusiasts who want a low-cost, practical alternative to traditional Bluetooth gamepads.

Affordable controller alternative for gamers

Bluetooth Gamepad VR & Tablet works by creating a Bluetooth bridge between two Android devices. One device acts as the screen (VR headset or tablet), while the other becomes the controller. While it uses a standard gamepad layout compatible with many games, it requires two Android devices to function, which may not be convenient. Additionally, some games lack proper gamepad support, limiting the app's usefulness in certain gaming scenarios.

To use the app, users must install it on both devices, pair them via Bluetooth, and change the default keyboard input method. While an instructional video is provided, the initial setup may be tricky for first-time users unfamiliar with Bluetooth pairing or input settings. Moreover, Bluetooth latency can vary depending on device quality, which can lead to inconsistent performance during gameplay and impact the overall user experience.

This app is particularly useful for those who want to experience VR games or play tablet games with a physical controller feel, but don’t want to invest in separate hardware. While not every game supports gamepad input, the program performs well with many popular titles that recognize standard controllers, making it a practical choice for casual gamers seeking an affordable and flexible alternative to traditional gamepads.
