I would publish a list of Android games that you can play with this gamepad soon. The rest assured that this gamepad works with all GTA games and most Android emulators including PPSSPP, the amazing thing is that the buttons are auto-mapped so you don't have to stress yourself mapping the keys manually.

Deletehw much for d gamepad?
ReplyDeletehow much for d gamepad
ReplyDeleteThe gamepad is sold for between $9 to $15 on Aliexpress, but you can get it for as low as N3400 by following the link in the post.
DeleteAsking for pairing code in order to connect
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't ask for any code in order to connect, if that's the case with yours then it's probably faulty.
ReplyDeleteHow do i make it go from controller mode to searching for bluetooth
ReplyDeleteHold both the "X" and "Home" button at the same time while it is off.
DeleteI can't connect it to my smart tv even in USB wired connection. I'm using a GBA emulator. T_T
ReplyDeleteDo you have the USB dongle? Connect that to your Smart Tv and try again.
DeleteWanted to connect with Bluetooth in my pc but it asked me to input some codes in the game pad which is not possible, Any idea on how to connect with Bluetooth on my computer.
ReplyDeleteThis is strange.. could you be more precise about the code it was asking for? You could contact me on Whatsapp so we sort it out together.
DeletePLEASE HELP ME! Even when following the instructions given, I am unable to make a wireless connection to my HP Laptop.
ReplyDeleteHi, can we do wireless connection via other usb bluetooth dongle? Or does it necessarily have to be BM703 ?
ReplyDeleteYou can connect wirelessly via any Bluetooth dongle, it doesn't necessarily have to be a particular model.
DeleteI’m trying to get my controller to work with the games is apparently compatible with but it isn’t working. It is connected to my phone but it’s not registering to the games I’ve opened/downloaded for whatever reason. Please help.
ReplyDeleteYou could be trying to use it with a game that does not support controllers, not all Android games can be played with a gamepad. That could be the reason.
DeleteI bought the gamepad today for my android phone (Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1). I was able to pair and connect the 2 just fine. Problem is, it doesn't work for any of my games:
ReplyDelete- NBA 2K19
- EmulatorBox a.k.a EmuBox (playing Pokemon Yellow on it)
- Mobile Legends (I've read that the game just flat out doesn't support game pads, sad)
Any ideas as to which games support this controller?
Sorry about the ugly experience with Mobile Legends not supporting controllers.
DeleteAll PSP games can be played with a controller, and you can play PSP games on your phone by using the PPSSPP emulator. I have a couple of articles on the topic on this blog, you could find them by making a search for PPSSPP or checking the "Android Games" or "ROMs" labels at the bottom of the page.
However, there are also some native Android games you can play with a controller. The best ones I can remember are: Modern Combat 5, Call of Duty Mobile, Unkilled, Dead Trigger 2, Six Guns (not really sure about this one but I believe it does), and most racing games including Asphalt, Grid Autosport, and Riptide GP.
Have fun gaming! I hope you keep visiting for more tech stuff.
Yo man i have a way you could play any of your games with the controller.
DeleteHere is how:
Get an app on the store called 'Octopus'
Open and add Mobile Legends to the game List
Click on Mobile Legends and follow the on screen instructions.
If you see buttons labelled 'a' 'lt' 'rt' etc. then it is normal. They are just the controls you need to do to activate the skills or attacks.
Hopefully this works. Bye.
Hi ,
ReplyDeleteHow can i test my gamepad after connecting it on the android device ? I think all the buttons doesnt work ... & There's no signal on gamepad tester software
I test controllers on Android with PPSSPP emulator, you can use it to test each key individually and also map buttons.
Deletecan it be paired with the PS3?
ReplyDeleteYes, it can. I used mine mostly with a PS3, you would need the USB dongle to pair it.
DeleteHello Can we play fortnite on PC with this controller ?
DeleteYes. I believe that you can, though I haven't tried it personally. You should be able to play Fortnite with it by connecting the controller to your PC with its USB dongle and pairing it in x-input mode.
DeleteThe controller does not pair with My galaxy A31. When the s3 shows up on the phone ready to be connected it simply fails to pair
