Description

Game controllers with faulty firmware can stay responsive through an evdev keepalive workaround that periodically keeps the input device active.

This is a hardware workaround, not a controller configuration app. Use it when a compatible gamepad disconnects or sleeps incorrectly, and disable it if it causes unexpected input behavior.

How to run

evdev-keepalive
