Which Android emulator supports keyboard input as well as controller?

Awesome no probs- yeah I’ve tried ALOT of workarounds for the keyboard arrows and so I can see yes, short of recompile there really is no solution ( although according to a post on EAB- the version before CD32 support was added- the keyboard worked fine) I have also had the displeasure of trying to get around the crap Android implementation of ‘right mouse click = BACK’ (ie the UAE4ARM menu UI)
Who ever though that a mouse would be an excellent input device to alter after almost 40yrs of using it pretty much the same way is beyond me. And for a ‘touchscreen-centric’ OS at that! If I want to go ‘back’ I would press the back button :scratches head: (I know that it’s just because my old device is stuck on Android 7 thanks to the 2 update rule employed by Samsung)… atleast that’s def 1 plus for the other manufacturers… update until it bricks for all they care hahah (not rly)

(EDIT: I mapped the right mouse button physical key in SDL settings startup dialogue to be the physical *R CTRL* key on my keyboard… it will do for now)

I seem to have UAE4ALL2 APK version 2.3.7.5 if that’s of any use?

I’ll be keen to help test if you do get around to that (that being if it will still run on Android 7 ofc lol)
