8Bitdo Ultimate Mobile Gamepad (Android)

Original price $50, current price $40, save $10! This handle is compatible with 100-170mm Android phones and features an Xbox-like key layout, Bluetooth connectivity, as well as a Hall-effect rocker and trigger keys.

Amazon's $40 8Bitdo is known for its retro-style wireless gamepads, but the company also makes some modern gamepads. This controller, designed for Android phones, is currently priced at $40, down 20% from the original price, making it a better choice for gaming on the go.

This handle surrounds your Android phone and retracts from 100-170mm, making it suitable for most devices. It uses Hall effect rocker and trigger keys to prevent rocker drift and other common mechanical problems. It has an Xbox-like layout with the main rocker and arrow keys on the left and the A/B/Y/X buttons on the right and another rocker. Combining the two sets of buttons and paddles on the back, you can get all the controls you need to play cloud games, retro game simulators, and more.

Most of these smartphone grip controllers have a physical USB Type-C connection to the phone, but this model uses Bluetooth. This helps it work with more phone cases, or without a phone, but that means you have to charge the controller's built-in battery occasionally.

Importantly, this controller is not suitable for iPhone. 8bitdo does not promote compatibility with Apple devices, and customer reviews have confirmed that it is incompatible. Only users with Samsung Galaxy devices, Google Pixel or other Android phones should purchase this product.

For Android games that support physical controllers, such as Minecraft, Fortnite, Among Us, Balatro, Crazy Taxi Classic, and countless other games, this controller may be a good choice. Most gaming emulators also support external controllers, as well as local and cloud gaming streaming services such as Steam Remote Play or Xbox Game Pass streaming.

The 8Bitdo Ultimate mobile gamepad is available in black and white colors, and both colors are enjoying the same 20% discount as of this writing. Again, only users who own Android devices should purchase it. iPhone users are better off choosing Backbone One, but make sure to choose a version that matches your phone port, namely Lightning or USB-C.
