Whether it be its iOS, Android or Windows 8 users, [Splashtop](http://www.engadget.com/tag/splashtop/) does a pretty good job at keeping them happy by introducing new things [here](http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/04/splashtop-remote-desktop-windows-8-app/) and [there](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/07/splashtops-win8-metro-testbed-on-android-tablets/), and the very latest may be no exception to that -- well, at least to some. Dubbed Configurable Shortcuts & Gamepad, the feature will allow Splashtop 2 subscribers -- that are using an iPad or Android slate -- to easily create anything from a virtual gamepad, mouse controls and even keyboard shortcuts on a tablet's screen, which, according to the company, should make for a "faster and more seamless remote access with their Macs and PCs" while gaming or, you know, _actually_ being productive. What's more, similar to what it did when [other new services](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/29/splashtop-2-update/) were brought to the mix, Splashtop's set to charge current subs a little extra in order to use the Configurable Shortcuts & Gamepad, with the add-on being priced at about $1 per month (on top of the Splashtop 2 monthly fee, of course.) The feature's available now for anyone looking to try it out -- and if you'd like to see it in action before you make that in-app purchase, a video demo can be found just past the break.
