  • Just figured out yesterday that OpenBoard is abandoned and jumped over to Heliboard, thanks to the announcement for 1.0 in this community. The top comment mentioning FUTO Voice Input, was also a great find.
    The only annoying part is that I now have to retrain my recommendations for HB, since OB unlike HB, offers no way to extract your settings, and I found no method to access the settings files in newer Android. Thankfully, since HB offers import/export, it will be the last time.




  • I use them in games that need precise aiming (hello Valheim) along with the gyro, as well as mouse based games. Also they’re great for binding a bunch of extra buttons that you don’t use that often, and they make the desktop experience much smoother if you don’t have m/kb around.
    I understand that having them is a compromise, so the rest of the controls end up more cramped, but at least for me it’s well worth it. I wouldn’t consider a different handheld pc, or a Steam Deck 2 without them now.
