About Controller

Controller interface allows you to use most popular controllers on all supported operating systems under the same interface.

Internally Controller Interface also matches all buttons and controller behavior under the same scheme so you won't have to worry about that anymore.

What Controller Interface provides:
Using same interface across all supported Operating systems
Using same interface across all supported controllers
Support for multiple controller types on same market/device (As playing with Xbox or Moga controller on OUYA)
Easier additions of support for future controllers
Providing controller layer, which would easily allow you to combine gameplay with or without controllers in the same app
Controller layer would easily allow you to port your touch based interface (as menu buttons) to controller selectable buttons
