gamepad navigation

About this tag
Gamepad navigation in Windows 11 refers to the ability to control the operating system using a game controller, such as an Xbox Wireless Controller, instead of a traditional mouse and keyboard. Recent Windows 11 updates have introduced features specifically designed to improve this experience, including a gamepad-friendly virtual keyboard and a dedicated handheld gaming UI. These enhancements are particularly beneficial for handheld gaming PCs like the ROG Ally, Legion GO, and Ayaneo KUN, as they allow users to navigate the OS, type, and access games more easily with a controller. Microsoft's focus on gamepad navigation aims to make Windows 11 more accessible and user-friendly for gamers and portable device users.
