Control your games in a brand new way, with GameGlass Shards - immersive touchscreen interfaces on your phone and tablet.
Shards let you use intuitive touch controls that include dynamic interactions and animations. Switches, buttons, toggles, sliders and more allow you to see your controls laid out clearly. Beautiful designs for a wide variety of game genres make them feel immersive.
Once you download the host application and create an account on our website, you will be able to access our "Forge" editor which allows you to create, modify, and download other users shards.
Every Shard is customizable. With our flexible Action Manager you can assign keybinds, mouse clicks, delays, sound effects and more. You can even combine actions to create powerful macros and automations. Want a different layout, or more buttons - you can move, delete and add parts to create the perfect Shard for any game.
Setup is super easy - simply download Shards or create your own, then connect to the GameGlass desktop app. Commands are sent directly to your game via a secure, ultra low-latency connection using your own WiFi.

Good. When it works.
Getting it to work with my iPad was a chore and required several messages from the responsive tech support- have to be holding the iPad on its side when installing it otherwise it won’t work. Most of the time, it just stops working, requiring one to uninstall and reinstall it. I like it when it’s working but it’s really more like a weekend science project alpha build. If I had it to do over, I wouldn’t spend any money on it until all the bugs are worked out of it.
**Update** Gave this another try in Elite Dangerous. Obviously they have not made much headway. Many of the bindings don’t work at all. Emphasis seems to be on getting users to subscribe, not in offering a quality product.
Discontinued
This app service has been discontinued. If you install it you will only get a connecting to host sign that ends with a connection error.
Work great for a minute
Worked at first , but now the display is messed up and makes any shard unusable.
quick response custom controls
i have this for my ipad and my amazon fire tablets. while the fire responds just a bit slower (expected) they both are overall very snappy when responding to touch controls. subscribing gives you access to a huge amount of customization.
tip: high speed ram and ssd recommended on the hosting computer for maximum snappy response.
Could Be Better
I have been crashing and much less stable with my otherwise incredibly stable 9700k, 32g Corsair, 2080 build at stock clocks, in both Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen using my iPad Pro for buttons.
I mainly use my iPad for navigation while playing Elite but that isn’t really possible with this app. If you shrink it down to navigate with Road to Riches this app then makes you sign in with your complete email and password when returning. Ugh.
Input lag was out of control on the non-official shards I tried, while the official ones were instant. The official shards for Elite looked very dated and none were very easy to read from distance or at a glance with muted colors and small writing.
They advertise “Thousands of games”. Yes you can makes shards yourself, if you have tons of time, for lots of games, but there’s only pre-made shards for very few at best and many say they’re alphas.
The app has potential, I subbed for the year and I’m kind of sorry I did because right now, I feel it’s a bare bones experience at best.
Overhyped
Okay when it works, but more often - it does not. Lags, not loading PREMIUM shards, buttons on Avionics shard for Star Citizen has some buttons WITHOUT actions bounded to them.
Utterly disappointed. Mapped all needed buttons to my HOSAS and ditched this garbage
Game Changer!
I’ve been using GameGlass with Star Citizen for a few months and play with it on an iPad in between a pair of t16000 sticks. I love the setup. I have started experimenting with the Forge which is pretty cool and useful as well. Support is very good. Anytime I have reached out, I have gotten a quick reply. This is definitely worth the try, especially if you play any sim games.
Ehh
Worked just fine no issue, just kind of pointless when you already have all the key bindings memorized. It’s faster to use they keyboard then take your eyes off, find the button on the smooth touch screen then use the app.

Elite Dangerous won’t connect.
App Won’t connect to Elite Dangerous submenu. Error message says contact http://support.gameglass.gg.
Nothing there connected to the error or offering advice. Just offering more “shards” to buy.
Don’t bother.
