Gamepad Remote

Use your Gamepad Controller to control media on your PC.

Have a wireless controller lying around? Repurpose it for triggering media actions: play/pause, seek, and control volume.

Note: Gamepad Remote works by mapping your controller buttons to keyboard keys. The media actions are not universal, but work on most major sites/media players (Netflix, Youtube, VLC et. al). The mapping of buttons is based on XBox Wireless Controller.

Gamepad Button	Media Action	Keyboard key mapping
A	Play/pause	Spacebar
Right/Left Arrow	Seek	Right/Left Arrow
Up/Down Arrow	Vol Control	Up/Down Arrow

npm install -g gamepad-remote
