Description

Description

The Keyboard Controller Mapping and Keyboard Controller Mapping Type configuration options appear to be missing on the Android version of Retroarch. I do see them on my iOS build.

Expected behavior

The option being platform-agnostic since the iCade is just a Bluetooth keyboard device.

Actual behavior

Only appears to be options on the iOS build
