Description

Game-controller activity can keep or wake the screen when joystick input should count as user activity.

It is useful for couch gaming, emulators, and media setups where keyboard or mouse movement is not the main input. Power-management behavior affects battery life and privacy at the screen, so configure it only for trusted sessions.

How to run
