Got it. Thanks for this feedback. I've already shared it with the Gaming Toolkit product manager. Thanks!

I've just talked with the pm and the issue seems to be on the game side. It'll be impossible for us to control what and how the game detects external input devices. It will be more beneficial for you to write the game developer and see if they could do anything on their side.

What games respond like this btw?

Modern combot 5 , unkilled and all other games which have game pad(controller) support. This is not on game side because every game with controller support behave like this.

Yes! I talk to my dev friends, he also say its in android side. It can be solved for every game but currently he have no time.

This can also be solved If somehow we can can hide(restrict) external USB from games, then game reflect normal on screen button which is easily mapped by any key mapper. Any apps or xposed framework we know which have hardware blocking feature.

After further conversation, here's how I understand the issue and the temporary fix:

1. Most game developers don't assume you'll be connecting a keyboard to a touchscreen Android device. For reference, how do the same games react to connecting a USB keyboard to a Nexus 9 device? Does it also turn off touchscreen controls?

2. Remix OS for PC's usage environment may be one that game developers don't factor into their logic.

3. Thus, the only thing we may able to do is create a white list where these games will no "see" the keyboard. This is not a long term solution. However, it may fix certain games in the short term.

4. So, let's build a list so that our dev team can create this white list. So far, the list is:
1) Unkilled
2) Modern Combat 5

Please help me add to the list for a future update to fix.
Thanks!

I am out of home now. So i cant provide(update) list.
But many will definitely help.
But I Must say almost [Some game(old) give you choice even you connect controller like 'dead effect 2' to choose between touch or game pad.] every Game which support Controller behave like this.

However they may provide some tools or something So we can ourselves add No "see" Keyboard White list just like we edit excluded-input-devices.xml to hide some hardware device from ANDROID.

Does online gaming just mean that the game needs to connect to the internet to be played?

I'll pass this feedback onto the devs as well, but it would really help if you gave us this feedback (and all subsequent Remix OS for PC bugs, issues and feedback) here as it's the most direct way to communicate with our developers:
https://github.com/JideTechnology/Remix-OS-For-PC/wiki

Thanks again for your support!
