Since I've updated my pixel 3a to android 11

I cannot use a gamepad (bluetooth or connected through OTG cable). 

The gamepad control only the application interface, and the inputs aren't sent to Shadow's server.

I guess Android 11 "improve" the way gamepad are used.

Yup, having the exact same issue. For reference I am using the DualShock 4 controller.

I am using Shadow on my Nvidia Shield Android TV and wanted to get the windows key of my blutooth connected keyboard working. By default it is set to open a search window, overriding the intended use within Shadow.

So far I managed to disable the key when Shadow is running, so it may be doable to remap it to my needs, per program. Many options are already available and may just be enough to fix your issues.
