Andy OS Taps Old School Gamer Nostalgia With Updates Including Keyboard Mapping and Joystick Integration

San Francisco, CA, July 29, 2015 (Newswire.com) -  Mobile gamers are about to win on a whole new level as Andy OS, a full-featured mobile operating system (OS) compatible with any computing device and the Cloud, announces today the addition of two features to enhance user experience.  Additions include keyboard mapping for the PC gamer at heart and joystick integration for the nostalgic feel of console gaming.

With both Mac and PC compatibility, Andy OS breaks down the barrier between desktop and mobile computing; giving users the freedom to play mobile games and utilize messaging apps, among many other apps, on a PC.  Andy OS also provides unlimited storage capacity in the Cloud and will keep users up to date with the latest system feature upgrades.

Bridging the gap between mobile gaming and PC gaming, Andy OS updates include:

●      Keyboard mapping: In addition to existing touch, mouse and track pad controls, gamers are now able to use a keyboard to control their games.

●      Joystick integration: Gamers who prefer the feel of a gaming console can now use PlayStation and Xbox controls.

“Each of the new features were implemented as a result of user feedback,” said Sean Murphy, CEO of Andy OS. “Andy OS has become a go-to platform for gamers who want to take their mobile gaming experience to a larger screen on a more powerful machine. Anything we can do to improve their gaming experience and/or make it feel more native to the game, we will.”

Pre-existing features of Andy OS include: desktop push notifications, microphone, camera and sensors integration, Cloud storage, ARM and OpenGL support, Google Play Store and more.

Since its launch in April 2014, Andy OS has made strides in creating a stronger connection between a person’s mobile and desktop activities.  Now, with more than 8 million users, Andy OS continues to bring updates that improve user experience and make the product unique as a gaming platform and full-featured operating system.
