[Q] Shield as Wi-Fi PC Controller?

[KMFDM_Kid2000]

Preferably as a 360 Controller emulated if possible, for easy compatibility. This thing begs to be used as a PC controller, and I know it does with the official streaming app, but what about for emulators and older games? Is there already a viable solution for this? Wi-fi/Bluetooth would be nice, but I'm not above using USB.

from what I heard via the dev that worked on the project Microsoft gave resistance in in allowing the wifi controller.

If I had to take a guess this would be because the new controllers for XBOX one will use that connection method as microsoft was not happy.


Just a guess here from what I heard

Just like how there are virtual keyboard and mouse apps for phones, there's not really any reason why you couldn't use a Shield as a virtual controller, running software on both the device and the PC.
