Description

🎮 Turn Any Gamepad Into an Anki Controller — Zero External Software Required Tired of fiddling with background mapping tools like JoyToKey or AntiMicroX? Gamepad Controller Hub provides native, plug-and-play game controller support directly inside Anki via the Web Gamepad API. Simply plug in your controller, pair via Bluetooth, open Anki, and start reviewing cards. ✨ Key Features Complete Driver Independence: Connects directly to controllers through Anki's internal webview without external key-mappers. Multi-Profile Support: Includes pre-configured layouts for Xbox Wireless Controllers , PlayStation DualShock / DualSense , and 8BitDo Zero 2 / Micro . Hardware Auto-Switching: Automatically detects the device ID when you turn on or plug in your controller and activates its designated profile seamlessly. Full Controller Modifier Layer (Shift Button): Turn any button (such as Left Bumper / L1) into a modifier layer. Hold it down to access a secondary function for every button on your controller, doubling your total actions! Tapping the modifier button alone fires its primary action. Interactive Press-to-Bind Configuration: Don't know your controller's button numbers? Click Record , press the button on your controller, and let the add-on highlight and bind it automatically. Arbitrary Keyboard Shortcuts: Map any controller button or stick flick to complex keyboard shortcuts (e.g., Ctrl+Z , Shift+2 , Alt+Z , or custom add-on hotkeys). Reviewer Scrolling & Analog Sticks: Tilt the right or left analog stick to scroll smoothly through long flashcards, large images, and explanations. Background Protection: The configuration menu isolates your controller so button presses during setup will never accidentally flip or grade cards in the background. 🚀 Quick Start Guide Connect your controller to your PC via Bluetooth or USB. Open Anki and navigate to Tools → Gamepad Controller Settings... (or select the add-on and click Config ). Press any button on your controller to confirm the Input Status bar illuminates. Customize your buttons using the action dropdowns or select Record Key / Shortcut... to capture custom keyboard hotkeys. Click Save and start studying! 🎮 Supported Controllers Xbox: Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and compatible third-party controllers. PlayStation: DualSense (PS5) and DualShock 4 (PS4). Nintendo: Switch Pro Controller and Joy-Cons. 8BitDo: Zero 2, Micro, Lite, Pro 2, SN30 Pro, and Ultimate series. Generic: Any standard USB or Bluetooth HID controller recognized by your operating system. ☕ Support & Other Add-ons If this add-on saves your hands and speeds up your reviews, please leave a thumbs up on AnkiWeb!
