Touchscreens are great for a lot of things, but gaming is not one of them. A better way to play games on smartphones is through the use of controllers and gamepads, and with the dawn of cloud gaming they have sort of become essential for a console-like gaming experience on the go. Unfortunately, for some users, Android 11 acts in a fun way with the controllers and in some cases refuses to recognize them or let them be remapped.

As seen in the Android issue tracking thread, the bug was recognized by Google even before the arrival of Android 11 stable in September. However, even now, almost five months later, it remains unchanged.

Most of the reports in the thread are from Pixel users who can’t connect controllers like the Razer Kishi, Sony DualShock 4, or even Google’s Stadia controller. The issue has also been spotted on a few OnePlus and Samsung devices, including the OnePlus 8T and Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.

Some users are reporting a potential workaround that is to turn off the magnification accessibility setting, but it doesn’t seem to work for all users. Others suggest that turning off the accessibility option for various apps on their phones seems to do the trick.

If you’re having a similar issue, your best bet is to tinker with the accessibility settings – until, of course, Google finally fixes this bug in a future update.
