On the search for controls via tablet
tldr: any advice for ingame controls with an android tablet?
Hey, last time i played ED was about 4 years ago and i remember using an android app named panels for a custom button layout usable via an browser. Since time went by and a lot of data loss happened, i’m on a search for an proper android control panel.
At the moment i’m looking at gameglass but i dislike the whole payment and account thing. Also GIC (Gaming Interface Client) from Terence-D looks promising but it’s 2 years since the last update and i haven’t found any good layouts.
Are you guys using something like this or have any tips where to look? Anyway thanks for your time reading this^^
Have a nice day, cheers
Edit: After looking and trying around for 3 days i came to a conclusion:
Game Glass: is the easiest to install and offers 2 layouts for free. BUT you need an Account, it's not running locally (privacy concern) and it's only subsciption based not buyforlife. For my taste the layouts so called shards are a little bit too busy.
EDDiscovery: easy to install and have everything your hearth may desire. You can use it on the same device or locally via browser. But for myself it's overkill in any way and the remote controls feels clunky and not so nice. Totally recommending this for everyone at least to try.
Macro-Deck: free and open-source, easy to install and use but i'm still figuring out how to set up all the buttons. Has also a web client (sadly atm still need internet for client-id but it's on the todo list), a handful of good plugins, it's definitely worth a look. And the best of all, it's not abondonware. This is my pick for now.
