11 Best Mobile Game Controllers (2025): iPhone or Android

Other game controllers we tested

There are a few mobile controllers we’ve tested, kidnapped or can not make a note above.

Acer Nitro Mobile Game Controller for £ 70: Compact design is perfect for portability and Acer’s controller folds half to skate in your pocket or bag. You can install the devices up to 8.3 inches via USB-C, and the controller has standard offset joysticks, four standard face buttons and four shoulder triggering. Everything comes a little cramped and basic; The triggers are good, but everything feels a little meh. There is a USB-C port for transition charge, but it lacks other features to justify the price (no hall effect, no privatization, no software). This is currently available in the UK.

Gulicit Elves 2 Pro for $ 50: Figure reminiscent of old SEGA controllers, but the gulicite package hall effect joysticks, nine vibration levels and six -axis gio movement control to this Bluetooth controller. Shoulder buttons are nice and click 8-way D-PAD, good to fight games and platforms, but the four hundred button uses a membrane. Compact, so although I have big hands, I found it a little uncomfortable to use it for a long time.

Gxttrust Mylox wireless mobile controller for £ 45: This large cradle-style controller is connected over Bluetooth 5.0 instead of USB-C. It supports basic tactile feedback and has inflamed buttons with RGB LED. It is quite comfortable to use, but it sounds a bit cheap and despite the big design, buttons and triggers are small. I’m not interested in D-PAD. If you open the lighting, the battery life will fall well below the recommended 12 hours. This is only available in England and Europe.

For Gamesir X3 Pro 80: This replaces the X3 and opens the cradle to almost every Android phone (or USB-C iPhones) in the rubber. In the beautiful zipper carrying bag, it makes you feel good with customizable handles, click buttons and the lounge effect thumb bars with different -sized removable lids. The title feature is an enormous fan that can have serious cooling power, which can be heated when smartphones play games for a long time, but I found the sound annoying and the X3 Pro is very cumbersome. Privatization options are accepted, but Gamesir application is a bit buggy and confusing.

ASUS ROG TESSEN FOR $ 104: When I started using Rog Tessen, my excitement for the possibility of a mobile controller from Asus decreased very quickly. It has a smooth folding design, sensitive controls and transition charging. I like programmable rear shovels and there is RGB lighting for jazz. However, the thumbs were quite quickly uncomfortable and the buttons were a bit noisy. This is also only Android and does not work with any iPhone (even USB-C iPhones).

Gamesir X4 Aileon for $ 100: There is plenty of this controller, including a compact design, RGB lighting, salon effect bars and tactile buttons. It comes in two pieces, which is great to fold it properly, but one side means you need to match the other, and may be meticulous. Not a bad effort, there are better options above.

CRKD atomic controller $ 20: This small small controller is super cute and very portable, with a wrist strap where you can connect to a bag. With a USB-C port for charging, the battery life goes up to 10 hours, but sometimes I saw it changing itself in my pocket. It is not large or comfortable to use for a long time, but if you need a super -portable emergency controller, it may comply with the invoice.

Turtle Beach Atomic Controller $ 50: With a smart two -piece design, this controller folds properly, but feels insecure without back. The clamps on both sides are strange with phones with large camera modules. I had a problem with connecting and I didn’t like the right side should be opened separately (press B and Menu buttons). The right side is connected wirelessly (2.4 GHz), but connected to your phone via the controller bluetooth. Mostly worked well for me, but when I played Jydge, The movement was turned upside down in the left bar. You get a battery life of about 20 hours. Charging takes about two hours. If your main concern, portability, May Worth a look.

Powerra XP Ultra for $ 80: I love the idea of ​​combining a lot of options to a controller and Powerra’s Crazy XP Ultra is absolutely versatile. Xbox operates wirelessly with your Windows PC or Android phone and offers a robust battery life (up to 40 hours or 60 hours for Xbox via Bluetooth). However, it is very small and difficult to grasp the remarkable mini -controller that shifts the transformer style to play games while moving. The buttons, triggers and bars are all good and the clip works well to hold your phone, but D-PAD is hard. After all, an expensive mixed bag.

Riot PWR IOS Xbox Edition cloud game controller for $ 20: This is made for an iPhone certified controller for the handset charging charging, direct lightning cable connection and 3.5 mm sound port to Apple’s handset or iPad games (former lightning port devices). It feels like an Xbox controller, supports the Xbox Cloud or remote playing, and comes with a free monthly Game Pass Ultimate. The disadvantage is the cable a bit scattered. . ($ 40) Riot PWR MFI controller Almost the same, but without a cafcaf green style and colored Xbox buttons. It also has a USB-C option.

Turtle Beach Recon Cloud: Here’s another Xbox branded controller that supports the Xbox Cloud game and remote playing and comes with a free month Pass Ultimate. It makes you feel good, it has a solid phone clip and works with Android, Xbox and Windows. In addition, some audio improvements (when installed) has a convenient pro-AIM feature that reduces the correct sensitivity to targeting in programmable buttons and FPS games. It is a good upgrade choice on the Powerra controller listed above, but only if you want extra features.

Powerra MOGA XP7-X Plus for $ 94: This controller offers everything the XP-5 X does, but you can also remove the stand in the center for the nest on your phone (Fixel 6 Pro fits well). It offers a solid, plenty of buttons (only one screenshot button is missing) and it can charge your phone wirelessly. However, expensive, when I prefer the USB-C, it has a micro USB port and only has a 2,000 mAh battery, so stay loyal to XP-5 X unless you want that bow-loaded cradle to wear your phone.

For 8bitdo SN30 Pro 45: This controller, which makes up Snes’ memories, works with Android, Windows, MacOS and Switch. There is an internal lush, solid D-PAD, good battery life and a USB-C port.
