# Joypad AI

> Use any controller on any console. That's the mission.

Joypad AI is a universal controller compatibility platform. We make open-source firmware (joypad-os) that runs on microcontrollers to convert any gaming input device to work on any platform.

## What We Do

- **joypad-os**: Open-source RP2040/ESP32 firmware for controller adapters (MIT license)
- **Controller Tester**: Free browser-based tool to test any USB/Bluetooth controller
- **Controller Adapters**: Ready-to-use hardware adapters (USB2USB, BT2USB, USB2GC, etc.)
- **Web Configurator**: Browser-based tool to remap buttons and configure adapters
