Nowadays, as the performance of gaming phones is increasing year by year, and they are even equipped with active fans and liquid cooling systems, software-level optimization is becoming increasingly important.

It is reported that the Android system will bring major improvements to mobile game enthusiasts in next year’s Android 17 update, focusing on improving the support experience of external controllers.

Android Authority discovered in the latest Android beta code that Google is planning to support native controller key remapping at the system level.

The code implies that the functions of all buttons of a game controller connected via Bluetooth or USB-C can be customized directly in the settings of the Android system.

This feature will allow players to flexibly configure special buttons on the controller to configure them for specific game functions.

In addition to the optimization of physical controllers, Android 17 will also add support for virtual game controllers, which is not only a way to intercept and modify controller input at the system level, but more importantly, it will allow users to link the virtual keys displayed on the screen to the corresponding buttons on the physical controller.
