Gamepad Keyboard

🚀 Control your PC with a Gamepad!
LaptopControllerV2 is a lightweight application that transforms your game controller into a mouse, keyboard, and navigation tool for your PC. Built with Rust & Tauri, it offers a seamless, low-latency experience.

🔥 Features

🎮 Full PC Control via Gamepad

Move the mouse with the joystick 🎯
Click & scroll using triggers and buttons 🔘
Type using an intuitive radial keyboard ⌨️

🕹️ Two Modes: Mouse & Keyboard

Mouse Mode: Use joysticks to move the cursor and triggers to click.
Keyboard Mode: Enter text using a radial keyboard layout.

⚡ Quick Toggles & Customization

Press Start to activate/deactivate the controller.
Switch keyboard layouts on the fly 🔄
Non-intrusive toast notifications for feedback.

📦 Lightweight & Fast

Runs as an overlay with minimal CPU usage.
Built with Tauri, offering a native-like experience.

🚀 Installation

Windows (64-bit)

Download the .msi installer from Releases.
Run the installer and follow the setup.
Launch the application and connect your gamepad.

Linux (Ubuntu/Debian)

Download the .deb package from Releases.

Open a terminal and run:

sudo dpkg -i LaptopControllerV2_x86_64.deb

Start the app and connect your gamepad.

🛠️ Note: Compatibility with other Linux distributions & Windows versions is untested. Contributions are welcome!

Here's the updated macOS (Experimental) section with a bit of personality:

macOS (Experimental)

I don't have a Mac, so macOS support is purely theoretical—but I trust my code (probably more than I should). If you’re brave enough to try it, here’s how:

Install Rust & Tauri dependencies:

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Adarshb2000/LaptopControllerV2.git  
cd LaptopControllerV2

Build and run:
```
   npm i
   npm run tauri dev  
```

⚠️ Disclaimer: If something breaks, it's not a bug—it’s just an undocumented feature. Contributions to improve macOS compatibility are highly encouraged!

🛠️ How It Works

LaptopControllerV2 reads gamepad inputs and translates them into mouse and keyboard actions.

Uses Enigo for simulating mouse/keyboard input.
Handles gamepad events via Gilrs.
Uses Tauri to create a cross-platform desktop app.

🎯 Future Scope

🛠️ Customization

Custom radial keyboard layouts 🎨
Save & load different configurations
Profiles for gaming, productivity, etc.

⚙️ Input Enhancements

Support for advanced key combos (e.g., Ctrl+C, Alt+Tab)
Macro recording & playback
Custom quick action zones in the radial menu

🎛️ Fine-Tuned Controls

Adjustable mouse movement & scroll sensitivity
Custom joystick dead zones
Haptic feedback (if supported by hardware)

🔮 Long-Term Goal

Text prediction & word completion (not planned for now).
