Title: Best Bluetooth Controllers for Android?
Post by: burningdoom on June 21, 2017, 11:13:47 am

Title pretty much says it. Looking to get one since gaming on the touchscreen sucks. First time, so I'm a complete newb here.

I'll mostly be using it for NES, SNES, Genesis, GB/GBA games.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.  :)

I'd say Wii U Pro controller, but I'm not sure if Wii controllers still sync with android, I've heard that they don't anymore.

Check out 8BitDo.  I have the SNES30.  It is great.  Best I can tell, all the stuff they do is fantastic

I haven't tried this myself, but I have heard tell that the Switch controller work well with Android. Getting a single Joycon would work if your looking to stay portable (they're pretty small). But, they aren't particularly authentic if your playing vintage games (NES/SNES/GB).

My Wii U Pro Controller was a no go. It required some sort of PIN number, which it doesn't have (I bought my Wii U brand-new).

So I ordered this guy on eBay:
