📱 USB HID Gadget Module & Terminal Controller

Turn your Android device into a professional USB Human Interface Device.

This Magisk module enables your rooted Android device to function as a Keyboard, Mouse, and Media Remote for any connected computer. It features a powerful, dependency-free Text-Based User Interface (TUI) that runs right in your terminal.

✨ Key Features

� Universal & Robust

• Zero Dependencies: Built with musl libc and statically linked. No external libraries required.
• Cross-Platform: Runs on any Android version (Magisk/KSU) and standard Linux distros.
• Auto-Recovery: Intelligently detects HID failures and re-initializes the gadget driver automatically via su.

🖥️ HID TUI (Terminal Graphical Interface)

The star of the show (hid-tui). A fully-featured GUI running inside your terminal:

• ⌨️ Laptop-Style Keyboard: Full 75% layout with clickable keys and visual press feedback.
• 🖱️ "Radar" Analog Mouse: Virtual analog stick with aspect-ratio corrected movement and "Velocity Tap" precision. Magnitude = Speed.
• 🤏 Drag & Drop: Dedicated [HL], [HM], [HR] buttons to latch clicks for dragging. (Turns Magenta when locked).
• 🎮 Media Deck: Full 14-key remote control (PLAY, VOL, MUTE, BRIGHTNESS...).
• 🌈 Visual Feedback: Keys flash and buttons light up when pressed.

🛠️ Power User Tools

• Shorthand CLI: Convenience wrappers (hid-keyboard, hid-mouse) for automation scripting.
• Sticky Modifiers: Smart handling of CTRL, ALT, SHIFT, WIN for complex shortcuts.
• DuckyScript 3.0: Fully compliant automation engine for sophisticated HID injection payloads.

🎮 Usage Guide

1. The TUI Controller (hid-tui)

Launch it from any root terminal (Termux or adb shell):

su -c hid-tui

Interface Layout

• Top Bar: Media Controls (PLAY, MUTE, VOL+, etc.). Tap to control playback.
• Middle: The Radar Zone [+].
  • Tap Center (+) or perform a quick tap for a Left Click.
  • Move: Drag from center. Distance from center determines move speed (Velocity-Sensitive).
• Controls:
  • [ L ] [ M ] [ R ]: Standard clicks.
  • [ HL ] [ HM ] [ HR ]: Hold toggles. Tap once to "lock" the button down. Ideal for dragging windows!
  • SENS: Adjust mouse sensitivity (1x to 20x).
• Bottom: Full QWERTY keyboard with sticky modifiers.

2. Initial Setup (Manual)

If the gadget doesn't auto-start, run the setup script:

su -c hid-setup

3. Command Line Interface (Automation)

Automate key presses and mouse movements from scripts.

Keyboard:

hid-keyboard "Hello World"          # Type text
hid-keyboard CTRL-ALT-DEL           # Send combo
hid-keyboard --hold SHIFT "hello"   # Type with held modifier
hid-keyboard --release              # Reset all states

Mouse:

hid-mouse move 100 -50              # Move X=100, Y=-50
hid-mouse click left                # Click left button
hid-mouse down right                # Latch right button

Consumer (Media):

hid-consumer VOL+                   # Volume Up
hid-consumer PLAY                   # Play/Pause
hid-consumer BRIGHTNESS+            # Screen Brightness

⚠️ Known Limitations

🦆 DuckyScript 3.0

While this module implements the 100% Core Specification, there are some platform-specific limitations:

• No STORAGE Command: Unlike a physical USB Rubber Ducky, this module cannot mount a local SD card as a Mass Storage device via DuckyScript. You must use Android's native MTP/Storage features.
• HID_SYNC / WAIT_FOR_BUTTON: These commands are currently stubs. Synchronizing with target LED states (e.g., waiting for CapsLock) depends heavily on the Android UDC driver support, which is inconsistent across devices.
• Extensions: Custom Hak5 vendor extensions (non-core) are not supported.

📱 Hardware & Kernel

• UDC Drivers: Not all Android kernels support ConfigFS HID gadgets. If hid-setup fails, your kernel may lack CONFIG_USB_CONFIGFS_F_HID.
• USB Conflicts: Enabling the HID gadget may temporarily disconnect other USB functions like ADB or MTP on some devices, depending on how your specific kernel handles USB compositions.
• OTG Requirement: You must use a high-quality USB-C to USB-A (or equivalent) cable. Some "charging-only" cables lack the necessary data lines for HID communication.

🏗️ Building From Source

We provide an automated build script that handles versioning, cross-compilation, and packaging.

Prerequisites: zig (v0.11+), make, zip.

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/kelexine/hid-gadget-module
cd hid-gadget-module

# Build artifacts and create zip
./scripts/build_release.sh auto

This will create hid-gadget-module-v1.38.1.zip for all 4 architectures (arm64, arm, x86_64, x86).
