I don't want to swipe to turn a page, I just want to click with a remote and be done with it, but the damn iPadOS has the worst software ever created.

I have been murdering myself to try to create a page turner for my iPad Books app, since I don't like audiobooks due to AI voices or monotonous voices that sound like computer.
It's been more than 3 months that I have the idea but can't find any remote control that does it.
So I bought a 8bitdo Lite 2 controller with the hopes of remapping the controller to perform a swipe left with the numpad, it doesn't work neither with Full Keyboard Access and for some reason the Books App can't work with a controller? Assistive touch is useless and don't work.
My next attempt will be a tiktok scroller remote that perhaps will have the same functionality or at least have the functionality for a remap. If that doesn't work I'll try a macropad with only three buttons.
Those are my last options. Any ideas?
Watchful Citizen@GrapheneOS is being threatened by French authorities for refusing to add backdoors and they're dealing with coordinated attacks in French media right now. They're pulling out of France entirely, moving all their servers, and fighting off a wave of bullshit one-sided reporting that makes them look like they're helping criminals.
They need us to fight back. Support them however you can, whether that's a dollar, sharing their story, pushing back on the garbage news coverage when you see it, or just telling someone you know about what's happening. All of it matters because they're drowning in attacks from governments and media and bad actors who want them gone.
This is the only Android OS that actually makes me feel like privacy isn't just marketing. They fight for us now they need us to fight for them.
The EU is pushing Chat Control and creating an environment where governments feel empowered to threaten developers into compliance, and if we stay quiet we're letting it happen. Show up for them in whatever way you're able to.

Alice Averlong🏳️⚧️I've been bedridden for the last 9 months, unable to work as I try to get a surgeon and insurance lined up for my operation to let me work again.
If you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help. Time isn't on my side here, and waiting is very expensive.
Matt BlazeThat Banksy (which just got painted over) of a judge beating a protester is a powerful piece of street art, but I can’t resist pointing out that British judges don’t use gavels.

A Nazi who incited violence and murders is dead. One who said people should just get over kids being murdered not a week ago. No decent human being gives a shit.
Meanwhile, another fucking school shooting which has left multiple children critically injured, children who may not survive.
