Does anyone know a way to do this? I tried in wine on my raspberry pi, but it didn't work. Tonight I'm going to try one of those Zorin USB things, where you try the OS. Apperently Zorin OS can install windows apps. If that fails, then I'll try wine in Zorin OS.

If that fails....then it's back to the drawing board.

What does this software do?

8bitdo keyboard

You can use the software to record macros. Then program the keyboard to execute those macros on any button, or those 2 big accessory buttons. You can even connect up to 8 of those big buttons to one keyboard.

But it all requires this software to program.

Well if nothing works, spin up a windows VM and configure that keyboard there. I have to do that to configure my vkb flight sticks and peripherals

I believe they have an Android app that is supposed to let you configure them I thought. Pretty sure macros don't require software to run though.

I've seen the V1 software as an android app. I have not seen the V2 as an android app. This despite them claiming the keyboard is compatible with Android.

I'd love to be wrong though. That would make this all so much easier.

I'd just grab a converter cable, plug the cable into my tablet, and be done with it.
