[Feature request]: Connect phone to Apollo server as a gamepad

[nickelberg]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I would like to sometimes sit behind my PC and use my Razer Kishi (which I'm comfortable with) to use as a gamepad.

Describe the solution you'd like

Option to connect to Apollo server with just gamepad input. No video stream (audio maybe optional?)

Describe alternatives you've considered

Downloading other Android apps (client), and bloating my Windows with another background service (server).

Very low priority ofc

By doing so your phone's screen still need to be on during the game play. I think Kishi can actually connect to PC nativelly.

The only other thing you need is 3D printing a rigid block to act like your phone for the controller to clip on.

Yeah, there are workarounds which are working for me rn.
Don’t worry, just wanted to share my idea as a “nice to have.
We probably have more important features to implement and bugs to fix.

Regarding the screen-on issue, we could either display black for OLED screens or request an app wakelock, similar to what Termux does.

And sorry for not posting in "Discussions" from the start, somehow I didn't see them.
