+# Gamepad
+
+Several gamepad input modes are available:
+
+ - `--gamepad=disabled` (default)
+ - `--gamepad=uhid` (or `-G`): simulates physical HID gamepads using the UHID
+   kernel module on the device
+ - `--gamepad=aoa`: simulates physical HID gamepads using the AOAv2 protocol
+
+
+## Physical gamepad simulation
+
+Two modes allow to simulate physical HID gamepads on the device, one for each
+physical gamepad plugged into the computer.
+
+
+### UHID
+
+This mode simulates physical HID gamepads using the [UHID] kernel module on the
+device.
+
+[UHID]: https://kernel.org/doc/Documentation/hid/uhid.txt
+
+To enable UHID gamepads, use:
+
+```bash
+scrcpy --gamepad=uhid
+scrcpy -G  # short version
+```
+
+
+### AOA
+
+This mode simulates physical HID gamepads using the [AOAv2] protocol.
+
+[AOAv2]: https://source.android.com/devices/accessories/aoa2#hid-support
+
+To enable AOA gamepads, use:
+
+```bash
+scrcpy --gamepad=aoa
+```
+
+Contrary to the other mode, it works at the USB level directly (so it only works
+over USB).
+
+It does not use the scrcpy server, and does not require `adb` (USB debugging).
+Therefore, it is possible to control the device (but not mirror) even with USB
+debugging disabled (see [OTG](otg.md)).
+
+Note: On Windows, it may only work in [OTG mode](otg.md), not while mirroring
+(it is not possible to open a USB device if it is already open by another
+process like the _adb daemon_).

 One benefit of UHID is that it also works wirelessly.
