How to edit game control layouts to play any PC game on Android

Create, edit, import and export game control layouts in the Remotly mobile app.

Remotly provides several default layouts, but to play a PC game comfortably on Android you usually create a custom one with controls for all the actions you use.

Creating a new layout

Start Remotly, connect to your PC and run the game. Open the menu and select Game Control Layouts.

Layouts manager

The manager lists layouts on the left with a preview on the right. Review the defaults and pick the closest match.

Layout preview

Select Duplicate to create a copy of the chosen default, enter a name (we recommend the game title) and confirm.

Basic editing

Select your new layout and tap Edit.

Importing and exporting layouts

All layouts can be exported to the cloud and are assigned to your account, so you can use them on other devices. Hold a layout name to open the options menu and choose Import or Export.
