Google can’t seem to fix an Android 11 issue that breaks support for gaming controllers Touchscreens are great for many things, but gaming is not one of them. A better way to play games on smartphones is with the help of controllers and gamepads, and with the dawn of cloud gaming, they've sort of become essential for a console-like gaming experience on the go. Unfortunately, for some users, Android 11 is acting funny with controllers, and in certain cases refuses to recognize them or let them be remapped. As seen in the support thread on the Android Issue Tracker, the bug was acknowledged by Google even before stable Android 11 arrived in September. However even now, almost five months down the line, it remains unfixed.
