TapBind: Keyboard Game Mapper

TapBind is a keyboard and gamepad mapper for mobile games. Map any key or controller button to a point on the screen, drag and resize the markers right over your game, and keep a separate layout for every game you play with an external keyboard or gamepad.

Free with ads · One-time Pro removes the ads · No subscription · No account · Your layouts stay on your phone

How to use
1. Connect a USB or Bluetooth keyboard or gamepad (pick it as the control device, or let TapBind listen to any).
2. Make a layout from a template (shooter, racing, battle arena, platformer, cards) or start empty.
3. Turn on TapBind in Settings › Accessibility after reading what it does and does not do.
4. Press Play. The in-game bar appears over your game: Edit markers, add one, press a key to bind it, drag and resize it, then Stop and save.

Questions
• Root or a PC? Only for the optional multi-touch mode.
• Which keyboards and gamepads work? Most USB and Bluetooth ones that Android recognizes.
• Ads while I play? No, only in TapBind's own screens, never over your game.

Accessibility and privacy
TapBind uses the Accessibility service because its core function is to read your keyboard or controller and perform the taps and swipes in your layout. It reads only that input and the name of the app in front (to load the right layout). It never reads screen content, messages or passwords. Every touch comes from a key you pressed. The free version shows ads from Google AdMob and Unity Ads in TapBind's own screens, with your consent where the law requires it; Google Firebase collects crash reports and usage statistics. Your layouts and key presses are never sent.

Fair play
Some online games forbid third-party input tools, remappers or macros in their terms. Using them may get your account restricted. Check each game's rules. TapBind only turns your own presses into touches. It does not aim, automate, or hide itself.
