Game Controller for Android Phone

7 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/game-controller-for-android-phone.212727/

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to buy a budget-friendly game controller for my Android phone and would appreciate some suggestions.

I am mostly going to play retro games (nes, snes, mame, etc.), psp emulator games, and driving games like nfs, asphalt, etc.

Which type would be best for mobile gaming - Bluetooth controllers or telescopic controllers?

I came across two Bluetooth options on Flipkart that are below ₹1000:

X3 Gamepad
Lantech Motorola Controller

Telescopic controllers are priced above ₹1000, but I’m open to exploring those as well.

Thanks in advance.

How about something like this?

I haven't tried any mobile controller, but this looks interesting. Thinking to buy one for myself!

Hey, this looks good but it's over my budget.

The two options I mentioned are less expensive but I'm not sure how reliable they are since there are very few reviews online.

Also these controllers are non-returnable so if there's a defect, I'll be stuck with it.

I can think of spending 1500 max if I can get a good reliable controller.

I found this unboxing video made by Digit a few years ago, but it does not have product review.

Seems like you will have to try your luck. Looks like a decent controller.
Also, the one I linked does seem to have a 1 year warranty. How to claim it, might be questionable.

Hey, just wanted to share this in conclusion. I finally purchased this controller - Ant Esports GP320

Have been using it for a few weeks and so far it's working perfectly.

Thanks for the update.
I personally bought myself, EvoFox Deck Smartphone, and I like that it makes my phone turn and look like a steamdeck. (Poor man's steamdeck that is).

Happy gaming!
