Introduction, Download & Installation

• Touch is the most common interface in smartphones for gaming. However, touch control itself is a lot inconvenient for the gamer, because his fingers can cover the screen, hard to play continuously for a longer time. SHAKS Mapping Services offered by SHAKS Gamepad is to open the new way to play game controller over the mobile touch-only game more comfortably and efficiently.
• The Mapping Service is being provided by SHAKS GameHub Application, applicable for SHAKS higher range of series, S2i, S3i, and higher version. This app is not working with other branded products.
• We recommend reading this manual, and you may need to update the gamepad firmware via SHAK GameHub App. Please download the latest GameHub App and check the firmware. Note that Mapping Service is only available now for Android Smart Phone, and some game publishers (or developers) put a strong limitation on their games for this service for whatever reason, which is beyond our control.
