With a button layout similar to an Xbox 360 controller, the Moga Pocket Controller lets you play a variety of games on your Android device with finesse. Mapping controls to games mostly happens automatically and you can download third party apps to save control profiles. The Pocket is comfortable to use and works well with most games. Overall, it’s a recommendable controller for your Android phone.
Pairing the MOGA Pocket to an Android device requires you to download and install the MOGA Pivot app which provides a step-by-step process to pair the controller to your smart devices. The app also provides a categorically divided library of supported games and links to download them to your device which is a nice addition. Although support of games outside of this library is also possible, it may not necessarily be uniform. Mapping controls to games mostly happens automatically and you can download third party apps to save control profiles. The Moga Pocket was comfortable to use and worked well with most games, however, if you like to play old school console games on your device using emulators, you’ll be slightly disappointed because of the lack of a D-pad. At the price, it’s a great controller to go for and we recommend it.
