About Octopus - Gamepad, Keymapper
Turn your gamepad, keyboard, or mouse into a powerful gaming tool with Octopus - Gamepad, Keymapper, the professional control remapping solution for Android. No root access or activation required—simply map your peripherals to touchscreen controls and unlock a new way to play your favorite games.
Octopus Gaming Engine works with virtually any game or app you want to play. Whether you're using an Xbox controller, PlayStation pad, IPEGA, Gamesir, Razer, Logitech, or any other standard gamepad, Octopus recognizes it instantly. You can also map keyboards and mice for games that benefit from precise pointer control.
Get gaming instantly with preset key configurations for over 30 popular titles—no tedious setup required. For complete control, choose between two foundational modes: standard Gamepad and Keyboard control. Beyond these basics, Octopus includes specialized modes tailored to specific game genres: Advanced Shooting mode optimizes FPS gameplay with rapid-fire mechanics, while Smart Casting mode streamlines ability timing for MOBA games. Beyond presets, define your own custom keymaps using 20+ control components designed to enhance every gaming moment.
Advanced features set Octopus apart. Draw gesture paths and execute them with a single trigger—perfect for games requiring swipes or pattern inputs. Set sequences where repeated button presses activate different actions in order, ideal for games with context-dependent controls like opening inventory at different screen positions. Fine-tune analog stick sensitivity with customizable deadzone settings for each stick independently, giving you precision control tailored to your play style. Create multiple profiles within the same mode to switch between setups instantly, letting you adapt to different game situations without rebuilding your controls.
Even non-standard or older gamepads work flawlessly thanks to the built-in Gamepad Calibration feature, which compensates for hardware quirks. Virtual mouse functionality lets you control on-screen pointers using analog sticks—press LS+RS to activate and navigate without touching your screen, ideal for TV gaming or hands-free play. In the Pro version, this shortcut is fully customizable.
Capture and share your greatest moments with the integrated screen recorder, documenting every victory. Synchronize your gaming data across devices via Play Store account login (requires Octopus plugin download). Fake Location support rounds out a feature-rich toolkit for maximum flexibility.
