Outstanding Capabilities

Works with Most Games and Apps

Octopus is built to support a wide range of applications and games, so you can set up controls for the games you care about.

Peripheral Support

Octopus supports multiple input devices, including:

• Game controllers
• Keyboards
• Mice

It’s compatible with popular brands such as Xbox, PlayStation, IPEGA, Gamesir, Razer, Logitech, and more.

Game Presets

Get started quickly with preset key layouts for 30+ featured games. This means less time configuring and more time playing.

Game-Specific Modes

Choose from multiple control modes, including:

• Game controller mode
• Keyboard mode



• Specialized modes tailored to certain game types (for example: Advanced Shooting Mode for FPS titles and Smart Casting Mode for MOBAs)

Highly Customizable Controls

Beyond presets, you can fine-tune your setup. Octopus offers 20+ control components so you can build the exact feel you want.

Game Recording

Octopus can integrate with a screen recorder, letting you capture every match and every battle moment.

Controller Calibration

If you’re using an unusual or non-standard gamepad, Octopus includes a gamepad calibration option to help align inputs correctly.

How Setup and Mapping Works

To create your own layout, first ensure your peripherals are properly synced, then select the game you want to play. After that, you can map actions by linking screen areas to buttons/keys on your connected device.

Mouse input is also supported, which can be especially helpful in titles like PUBG Mobile and Rules of Survival. If you prefer a cleaner view, you can adjust the opacity of on-screen controls so they become nearly invisible during gameplay.

Trending Tab

Octopus also includes a Trending section. It shows which games are currently popular and even how many players are using Octopus for each title. For instance, Free Fire tends to rank high because once the controls are configured, playing with a keyboard and mouse feels especially smooth.

Key Features

Google Play Login

Requires downloading the Octopus plugin. Sign in with your Google Play account to enable account login and game data synchronization.

Fake Location

Supports a fake location feature.

Permissions Note

Because Octopus functions alongside your games, it needs the same permissions the games request. To cover a broad range of titles, Octopus may request multiple permissions. The app states that it will not abuse these permissions.

Octopus Pro

Octopus Pro unlocks additional options. Examples include:

Swiping

Draw any path and trigger movement or actions. Great for games that rely on swipe gestures or pattern drawing. You can also customize the duration.

Multiplication

Repeat the same action on the same spot multiple times. You can customize both the number of repeats and the duration.

Order Number

Control the sequence of multiple button presses. For example, if you have three buttons all mapped to the same key value (A), Octopus can trigger them in order: first press activates button 1, second press activates button 2, third press activates button 3, and so on. This is useful for tasks like opening and closing a bag button at different positions.

Analog Dead Zone

The dead zone is the input range where analog movement is ignored. For example, if you set the range to 0–20 and 70–100, then movement below 20% or above 70% is ignored. Pushing to 20% behaves like 0%, and 70% behaves like 100%. Dead zone settings can be different for the left and right analog buttons.

Profiles

If you need different mappings for the same game, use Profiles. Create profiles in either keyboard or controller mode.

Custom Virtual Mouse Shortcuts

When using a gamepad, press LS + RS to enable the virtual mouse. Use the L/R keys to mimic mouse movement, and LT or A to click. This is useful for setups like using a TV or when you don’t want to touch the screen. In Pro, the shortcut for activating the virtual mouse can be customized.

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Built-in screen recorder
• Customizable buttons
• Compatible with popular games

Cons

• App may freeze frequently

Final Thoughts

Overall, Octopus is a strong Android option for players who want more control. It can help you play nearly any game using a keyboard and/or gamepad, and depending on the title, it may give you a noticeable edge compared with touch-only gameplay.
