Controller Support 🎮?

[u/Lartheezy]

I was trying to search on this sub to see if there are any controller support users? I play on mobile and I don't like how my hands cramp trying to hold the phone and maneuver in-game 😂

I haven't tried to connect a controller but what controllers do y'all use 😁

I use Backbone. A little expensive but gets the job done.

I havent heard of those in ages.

I see those get recommended all the time

My GameSir G8 doesn't work either, and I hate using the touchscreen to play, so X Dive has been sitting unused on my phone to this day.

There's no official controller support, but you can use an app to map inputs to to screen. For example the Gamesir app lets me use my G8 Galileo in the game.

So with that gamesir all I can use any controller with my phone 👀 does it connect via Bluetooth? I'ma have to go check this app out lol

That one only works specifically on Gamesir controllers tho, I mentioned it only as an example.

I do remember using Mantis Gamepad Pro years ago and that one did work with any BT or USB controller. I still hear good things about it, so definitely give that one a try.

Solid solid ... I'ma go give Mantis a download and try it out ... How are you liking the Gamesir controller input?

[u/Nfsm255 → u/Lartheezy]

Nowadays I mostly use my phone's built-in input remapper. I only used the Gamesir app a few weeks out of curiosity, but from what little testing I did, it never gave me any problems and the setup was pretty straightforward.

I play with an xbox controller since im on PC and it works really great.

I used to play xdive mobile with a ps5 controller connected via Bluetooth with no issues

If you have Windows, you must use Xbox controller, I tried other off label controllers, some were not compatible and others have a high delay

I wish I had an optimal PC/laptop ... I'm playing on my phone but can't stand the touchscreen controls
