I know this is a niche ask, but it's there a way to use this device as a gamepad for another PC? I travel for work and it would be a way to have a portable gaming device that also has a second function. Also, can the buttons be swapped to the non Nintendo layout?

As this runs Android it should be possible. I know it’s possible via steam link or via one of the many tools (a quick DuckDuckGo search will give you a bunch, try ”Android as PC controller“)

A lot of them seem to rely on client and server applications. I was hoping for a better way.
