TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
Android 17 introduces system-level controller remapping in Beta 2 and later, letting users reassign buttons, triggers, and thumbsticks.
Remapped controls are saved on the device and apply across all games, providing consistent layouts on mobile.
Wired and Bluetooth controllers have different paths to the Game Controller settings in system Settings.
The beta may show mismatched on-screen icons, but the remapping functionality works as intended.
