There are many controllers to select from if you want to use one while gaming on Android. If you already have one from a console, you could use that, or you can opt for something different. The 8BItDo Pro 2 is a popular option, and this is a controller that will work on your PC, console, and Android device. It does cost $52.99 from Amazon, so while it comes in cheaper than a new Xbox or PlayStation controller, it’s still not the most affordable accessory out there. However, that price may be justified as it has a 4.6/5 rating on Amazon from 1,614 reviewers.
There aren’t a ton of downsides to this controller — it supports Bluetooth or wired USB, has two extra buttons on the back for added versatility, and will work with just about everything you own. One thing to note is the D-pad might not be up to your standards. It features four directional buttons, but something appreciate an Xbox Series X controller has an entire pad with eight buttons to hit. If that’s not a deal-breaker, then the 8BitDo controller is perfect.
