Thank you kindly, that would imply that Android devices can be used on both the A- and D-channel at least. The biggest thing making me look at this controller is the 4-way switch, can't understand why 8bitdo downgraded their "Ultimate" controller to a 2-channel switch :( Biggest bummer is that the Pro 2 doesn't seem to support wake-function on Nintendo Switch.
No problem. Let me know how you get on and if you like it.
I believe that D-Input will connect, but works on a per app basis for Android. So if your game or emulator doesn't support it, it won't work. I guess that's true of X-Input, too, but that's been the dominant controller API for many years. I could imagine some apps supporting X-Input controllers only.
Isn't all the Playstation controllers since the Dualshock 3 D-input? Seems like that would be a common BT-controller on Android with lots of support.
