Controlloid vs Yoke
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Controlloid
Controlloid is a small open source application that turns your phone into a real game controller for your PC. It works on Linux and Windows and can connect through anything that allows the creation of a LAN network: WiFi, Bluetooth, USB etc. It works over internet too, but for optimal performance it is recommended to create a hotspot on your PC and disable other network connections (such as wired) which allows the connected devices to access the internet. The server application can be downloaded from the following link: ➤ https://github.com/experiment322/controlloid-server Features • All the buttons of a PS2 controller (except L3 and R3) • Supports multiple clients (limited to 16 on Windows) • Analog stick dead zone (set from Preferences) • Scan and connect instantly to LAN servers • Move, resize and overlap buttons in layout editor • Creation of multiple layouts to accommodate different games • More to come! (suggestions welcome on GitHub)
Yoke
Yoke connects to a Linux computer via network (Wifi / Bluetooth / USB). It will be recognized as a normal Joystick/Gamepad by Linux, so it can be used as a game controller. The Linux client can be installed from https://github.com/rmst/yoke Yoke currently supports 6 axes: * Accelerometer X, Y * Left thumbstick X, Y * Right thumbstick X, Y Credits: Icon made by Freepik from www.flaticon.com
