Hi how can I play games on the Matricom Midnight MX2 with a wireless usb keyboard and mouse/touch pad, or any device with no touch screen? I have a Microsoft All-in-One Media Keyboard with USB Integrated Multi Touch Track Pad: '> And a Logitech K400 Wireless Touch Keyboard: '> Of the two the Microsoft Keyboard is probably the most useful, as the trackpad supports full multi-point touch functionality, whereas the Logitech keyboard only has two finger, up, down, left right and single finger 'tap to click' functionality. The problem is of course hardly no Android games at all were made for keyboard and trackpad functionality.

I have tried USB/BT joystick centre and Tincore Keynapper. However, both of these seem to require some extent of touch interaction with them to set them up. I don't think there is an assumption that someone will try to set them up on a non-touch enabled device. Besides which they both seem freakishly complex and may require several hours to try to set up, if that is you can get them working, which as I said might not be straightforward in a non-touchscreen device.

To be frank I would rather not have to spend hours configuring keyboard/mouse and track-pad support. I just want to plug and play if possible.

I wonder if the guys at Android X-86 have resolved this? If they have, I wonder why the Matricom folks don't something? This seems like something that should be enabled by default. To be clear Keyboard and mouse support do work in Android itself, but just not in any games I have tried.

One of the biggest attractions about Android is of course fun games! I have tried USB/BT joystick centre and Tincore Keynapper.

I don't think there is an assumption that someone will try to set them up on a non-touch enabled device. People's attention spans really are getting shorter I think.

It used to be said that people struggled to read anything beyond 5 lines of text. More recently that was cut to one.

Now it seems some folks struggle to read beyond the title, lol.

One of the biggest attractions about Android is of course fun games! As long as the device itself is supported by the operating system, you can certainly use it there (and this is STILL the case with Android-x86). I have RUN Android-x86 both via virtualization and bare-metal on my own hardware.

The biggest prboel I have had with gaming on Android is games in particular being written specifically for ARM - I have never (as in ever) had an issue with games that are supported by both x86 and the Google Play Store for Android for x86 using either keyboard or mouse. The issue is far easier for apps (than for games) - however, that is the fault of developers - not Android. There is absolutely zero reason why a game that supports touch can't support keyboards, mice, trackpads or touch-pads - with OR without touch support being present. (Bejeweled 3, for example, has supported touch from the beginning - despite that it dates back to Windows 7 - which did NOT support touch-screens by default. In fact, you could use touch and other control options at the same time - which is something I personally have done.) The issue is device-specific coding by developers (whether it be CPU-specificity, or device-specificity) and is something that I have whacked Android developers for repeatedly - going back to Ice Cream Sandwich - which was supposed to stop those sorts of shenanigans. 93 views and not one reply?
