About PadLink Remote
PadLink Remote turns your Android phone into a wireless game controller for your computer. Play your PC and Mac games with an on-screen gamepad, a full racing cockpit, or a touchpad mouse — over your local Wi-Fi, with no cables and no account.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Install the free PadLink app on your Windows PC or Mac.
2. Open PadLink Remote and pair in seconds — scan the QR code or type the pairing code.
3. Start playing. PadLink presents your phone as a standard gamepad your games already recognize (or as keyboard & mouse).
CONTROL SURFACES
• Gamepad — dual thumbsticks, D-pad, face buttons, shoulder buttons, travel triggers, and menu buttons, laid out like a real controller.
• Car Driving cockpit — a steering wheel with tilt (gyro) steering, gas and brake pedals with cruise-lock, a sequential gear shifter, and a handbrake. Built for racing games.
• Touchpad mouse — use your phone as a trackpad whenever you need a pointer.
FEATURES
• Low-latency input over your local network — no internet needed to play.
• Easy pairing by QR code, manual code, or one-tap reconnect to a known computer.
• Customizable layout — move, resize, and set the opacity of every control to fit your hands and your screen.
• Haptic feedback on button presses and triggers.
• Automatic reconnect if your Wi-Fi drops mid-session.
• A clean, modern interface designed for landscape play.
REQUIREMENTS
• The free PadLink desktop app running on a Windows PC or Mac.
• Your phone and computer on the same Wi-Fi / local network.
• No sign-in and no account — your controller input goes only to your own computer.
FREE & PRO
PadLink Remote is free to use. Some surfaces (such as the Car Driving cockpit) are unlocked by your PadLink desktop license — there are no in-app purchases in the phone app. The free version shows a small banner ad while you play; Pro and trial users never see it.
PRIVACY
Your controller input is sent only to your own computer over your local network. The camera is used solely to scan the pairing QR code, right on your device.
Turn the phone in your pocket into the controller your PC and Mac games have been waiting for.
