MOGA VK for Android
This application is a virtual keyboard for PowerA MOGA™ Pocket and MOGA™ Pro controllers. This allows you to simulate keyboard presses with the MOGA controller. With this the MOGA controllers can be used with many applications and games that do not support it by default. You can create button mapping profiles and bind certain application to a profile. Profiles will automatically be selected based on which application you are using. This is particularly useful with applications like emulators.
No hassle connecting MOGA controllers, simply use MOGA Pivot to manage the connection then run MOGA VK.

I'll try to post instructions on the ppsspp site. But the universal driver is crap. Don't even waste your time. Get the moga vk and it doesn't crash at all. Very simple and easy to use. Thanks to the developers big time.
Could you make the right analog also have a mouse-like function? Like if you were playing a FPS game you wouldn't press buttons. It really bugs me not to aim properly. Other than that, it helps a lot with games that don't work for MOGA controllers
Everything works great except the A button of my moga pocket. It is linked to the back button of my device and it causes me to exit games whenever I use it. Everything else works flawlessly. EDIT: problem fixed, thanks for the help.
I love playing MC4 and had purchased the Moga Pro. Unfortunately I found out that the way the button layouts GL had didn't work and hindered gameplay more then anything. At that point my 60 dollars was wasted do to the lack of customization and everything was present defined. Finally there is a way and its no thanks to GL devs. This app is the answer to my prayers thank you! -Pinoy7
I was using the universal driver but it was causing me many troubles. I started using this app and everything is working! If you love emulators,download this!
This app is good and using my controller as I speak to use this. Keep it up. This app could use some work. It kept on crashing on me. Fix it asap please and thank you
I originally got the moga controller to be able to play my emulators. There the universal app that would let you do this but it had major issues such as memory leaking that made the app unusable. This app does not seem to have the same have the same issues as the universal app, One thing i do notice that is not a big deal so far is that once in a while the audio skips when im playing a game. this did not happen before, but compared to the performance of the universal app, it seems to be holding up. I will update this review down the road as i continue to use this app to see if it gives me any trouble.
Can't assign buttons it comes up with a list but not my pad which it would make sense if it did or maybes my pad? Don't know doesn't work I'll fiddle with it more cause it doesn't seem to make sense
I'm having issues with using the right analog sick in avabel, everything else works good I can move my character around and function properly I just can't pan the camera around or center the screen to characters view. Help on this would be greatly appriciated
Was disappointed after purchase and Haven't used moga since I bought it a year ago. Now it's awesome. Thanks
This helps me relieve the tension I've had with the "universal" driver. I'm glad that I can FINALLY play on emulators using this app.
I would give it a five star rating , but I can't find out how to make the analog sticks to actually move in games like DH:2014 and many more , am I dumb , or is this a similar problem for everyone else?
Can anyone help? I've been trying to map the analog sticks to work with psx games but having no luck I've tried to map axis with settings I found on the Internet but still not working. Any ideas I've been trying for 3 days
This was a waste of my time to install. You should include some sort of guide that allows you to actually know what you are doing, because the example in the description is awful if you want to set it up for anything that isn't an emulator.
Why is it that I can download this app but it absolutely does not work for Gingerbread. And not only does it not work it completely bombarded my phone with force close messages.
This is really awesome. One could get away with claiming this was made by professionals contracted through subsidiaries of MOGA. "This enables GUI control over android devices using, "Atom Launcher" as the default for home screen navigation. Awesome!
It's the only thing I can't find? Other than that it's perfect.
I'm either just stupid or this isn't working because I cannot figure out how to use this thing with Asphalt 8 or any app at all. Does anybody know how to configure the settings and stuff?
**EDIT** My previous review gave it one star but actually it does work, to a certain extent. First off your controller has to be in A mode (moga pro power) and then it works as long as it isn't on screen controls. The game I can't seem to work for the life of me is Tomb Raider (not emulated, but from the play store ). Besides those types of games, it works and works well.
The app made my crappy moga pocket a good and useful controller
Maybe I'm wrong but it seems i can't map to my soft keys, like menu, home and back. I've tried the ones that say home and back, but they don't seem to work. I can only assume now these are the home and backspace on a pc style keyboard, and not the ones on my G2. Also could you please add mouse clicks 1, 2 and middle. As I have a Linux OS I VNC into and would like to use my moga as a mouse seeing how the pointer works with the d-pad but I can't click anything..
It works on my moga hero. READING THE FULL INSTRUCTIONS is very important! Best way to test it is by assigning letters and opening a notepad type program. Most difficult part is dealing with android's stupid keyboard selection system and properly selecting mogavk and making sure its in mode A.
My d-pad works for on live that's it everything else doesn't work what can I do
I have a nexus 7 (2013) w/Lollipop 5.1 and this app seems to not work anymore. I used it quite often for gaming emulators like mame4droid and drastic ds.. Is there another update coming soon for 5.1 or is there a way to solve my issue?
On my Galaxy S4, this worked flawlessly. Unfortunately, my S4 died, and on my new S5 this does absolutely nothing, no matter what I try.
There are no instructions. I have no problems with the moga universal driver to use emulators but I want to use Marvin emulator which requires key presses and I can't get this to work at all.
The app made my crappy moga pocket a good and useful controller
Works great thank you. Works with all of my emulators. And most of my games. Made me keep my moga instead of returning it. Its a free app what more could you ask.
I was able to use my moga hero with this app. steps I used was to have both moga pivot app for gaming and moga vk. The moga hero has a b setting. I set it to b then turned on my Bluetooth for my phone. I chose moga hid in the options (be sure to use the phones scanning process, turn off the controller and restart if necessary keep scanning it will find it, took a full 30 seconds). After that change your keyboard input settings to moga vk... After that your set. I did this on the note 4 using kitkat 4.4.4
So far so good it works on almost every emulator I have

Better than the universal driver app and I paid for that and this one is free. If you you having trouble with just go to keyboard settings and set moga vk as the default keyboard.
Can anyone help with a COD black ops zombie profile set up. Analogs don't move! Helppppp!
Is it possible to update this app to assign screen touches and motions like swipes, to specific buttons and analog sticks on the moga controller instead of just assigning the moga input to keys like " WASD" ? It would be especially useful for shooters like sas I was thinking you could take a screen shot of the game you want to play and open it within this app and touch/ gesture and assign those to be an input from moga or a keyboard and of course bind those profiles to games. alextanzerATyahooDOTcom thanks
Cant get Moga pocket to work on Drastic DS emulator..tried everything, even have moga set as default keyboard & launch from app to emulator directly..nada. Def going to keep it though.
It would be nice if it didnt constantly force close. I use a g2
If it work please show a tutorial or something. For the Moga pro controller. If you guys can do that definitely a 5 stars and you Thank you
Works great however one suggestion for improvement: full analog support. Its difficult to play games that require precise movement with an analog joystick as opposed to just mapping up down left and right.

I got my MOGA for Christmas. I was so happy to use to finally play my mobile games with better controls. I download the pivot app and sync my controller. I load up Asphalt 8 and boom, nothing. It didn't work. I re did the process, nothing. It won't work. I contacted the customer support. No response. I thought it was because I have Lollipop and the app wasn't compatible. It wasn't that either. This guy saved this controller. I made a profile and like magic the game recognized my controller. Ty!
