Thanks in-part to the craze from
Fortnite and
PUBG, mobile gaming has never been as popular as it is right now. If you haven’t joined the millions of gamers who are enjoying these two free-to-play battle royale games right now, you’re missing out. Seriously, these games have been in such high demand that developer Epic Games recently ported Fortnite to iOS, with an
Android version coming soon due to the high-demand.
Long gone are the days when Candy Crush, Farmville, and Flappy Bird populated our mobile devices. In fact, smartphones are so powerful these days that most mobile gaming experiences offer a similar level of game-play and graphics as consoles.
Despite all this, there is still at least one area where mobile gaming falls short: controls. Remeber, Fortnite allows cross-platform play which means that PC, console, and mobile players can duke it out together no matter what system they’re playing on. So as you might imagine, trying to play a fast-paced action game like these on a phone’s touchscreen puts you at a disadvantage when you’re up against players using a mouse, keyboard or console controller.
Luckily, there’s something you can do about it. Bluetooth gaming controllers are affordable, convenient, and highly portable devices that can easily take your mobile gaming to the next level. Here’s is our list of the best Bluetooth controllers that are compatible with Android and iOS for a variety of games including Fortnite and PUBG Mobile:
TOP 3 BEST GAMING CONTROLLERS FOR ANDROID AND iOS:
- The Ipega 9076 Bluetooth Gamepad looks and feels like a modern PlayStation console controller with four action buttons, four shoulder buttons, two analog sticks, and a D-pad. What makes it perfect for mobile gaming has to be the flip-up cradle that holds your smartphone tightly in place while you play. This effectively turns your phone into a mobile gaming setup.Even though this gamepad is perfect for Android and iOS titles like Fortnite and PUBG, it can also connect to your PC with the included USB receiver – making it very versatile.
- The GameSir G4s Bluetooth Gaming Controller is another versatile controller on our radar. In addition to the articulating arm cradle for your phone, this controller also much needed textured grips that wrap around the handles. This allows for a solid grip as you frequently mash down on its over-sized buttons. It has a similar size and button layout to the Xbox controller so those with this console will feel right at home. It is rated to deliver 16 hours of playtime from a full charge and display its remaining capacity with LEDs on the front of the controller.
- Our final pick is somewhat of a twofer because they are similar however, one is for Android and the other is for iOS. The Moga Pro Power is for Android users looking to take their gaming to the next level. Its button layout is similar to a full-sized Xbox controller, providing a solid grip that doesn’t feel flimsy. It’s greatest feature is an integrated 2,200mAh battery, which connects to your phone via Micro USB cable and charges it while you play. The Moga Pro Power has the largest battery of any Android game controller with convenient LED lights that indicates when the controller’s battery is getting low. The Moga Rebel Premium can only be used with iOS. Its spring-loaded arm with rubber tabs will secure your iPhone to the controller and transform it into a portable gaming system. The iPhone X has been tested and it does work with the Moga Rebel Premium.
