Let's get the shit ones out of the way. This will only be about pads I own and can give a real user review of.

Both pads from Nyko are garbage. The smaller one has hard plastic slide pads that wear smooth almost immediately and have very little travel. The larger one has analog sticks made of such soft rubber it comes off on the bottom of your thumbs and its buttons are so mushy you can't feel when they trigger.

This one goes by various names online and sells for under ten dollars. Buttons are good not great, but are silent with a decent tactile trigger feeling. Slide pad is excellent, I'd call it better than my 3DS. Ergonomics are good.

Biggest downside is it only has the pad and six face buttons, no trigger buttons at all.

Fucking terrible. The phone holder is incredibly loose and jangly, a shitty copy of a Moga holder. It has large plastic ridges above the shoulder buttons that constantly make you push on them instead of the buttons. The entire body is ramrod-straight and cranks your wrists to a weird angle. The L2 and R2 triggers on the bottom are a neat idea but it's not enough to help.

anything better in the same price bracket?

Moga Hero. One of the best, especially at its new low price of $25.

Pros: Analog sticks are excellent, top tier A+. Body is comfortable to hold. L1 and R1 good. 1200mAh battery. Flat enough to fit in a pocket.

Cons: L2 and R2 are mushy garbage. D-pad is shite. Face buttons are somewhat loud. Phone holder doesn't open to a wide enough angle.

Ipega 9023 $23

Pros: Opens wide enough for any phone in ladscape and up to 11 inch tablet. Analog stick material is GREAT, tactile rubber that resists oily fingers and scratching at the same time. Trigger buttons are digital but very tactile and silent. D-pad is ok, bit like an NES

Cons: The small grey buttons are VERY loud, very stiff momentary pushbuttons that are distinctly unpleasant. Face buttons are hit or miss,can be too mushy. I personally replaced the underlying rubber dome assembly with one from an xbox 360 controller, which worked much better. Grips and analog sticks feel..."tall" Little too much travel.

>>383642917
Oh, and also the device thicknesses it supports are somewhat limited, but you can cut/sand off the retaining ridges and it'll hold just about anything.

>>383642463
don't moga use some proprietary bullshit software that cripples compatibility?

I'm pretty autistic when playing racing games using joysticks, so analog quality is a must

>>383643116
there's two modes, one doesn't require any software

Moga Pro 2 aka Moga Pro Power $45

Pros: Ergonomics in general and analog sticks in particular are flawless. Extremely comfy, tough, identical range of motion to 360 sticks but a better stick material. Big battery. Moga controllers can operate in HID mode or Moga mode. Moga mode requires an app but it lets you bypass the problem where some android devices have huge (.3-1 seconds) input lag on bluetooth controllers. Trigger buttons are fully analog.

Cons: Face buttons are mushy. This is another one where I swapped in the rubber dome part of a 360 controller in with good results. The holder doesn't open wide enough, and the left analog stick is placed close enough to the top of the controller than if you use a case the tip of your thumb will be constantly bumping it. D-pad is bad, similar to 360 d-pad.

Steelseries Free Was $22, now up to $80 for some reason.

Pros: Smallest controller with real analog sticks and shoulder buttons. Analog sticks are interchangeable with the ones from the moga hero, which are taller and better. Face buttons are good, silent and tactile. D-pad is excellent.

Cons: analog sticks are small and so close together you can't use both at once. Only two shoulder buttons. Price.

Fezhi Wee. $40.

Pros: Smallest landscape-holding controller. Face buttons are good. Has the ergonomics of a PSP. Analog sticks are compatible with PSP rubber stick covers. Expanding mechanism makes very satisfying mechanical noise. Wide enough to hold my Note 4 with some to spare

Cons: Analog sticks come with stupid dog paw covers preinstalled. Travel is very shallow, between half and 2/3 of a normal analog stick. Has four shoulder buttons but they're rather loud pushbutton ones. Limited ability to hold thick phone or phones in cases.

This is the one I stick in my pocket if I'm going somewhere and I MIGHT have some gaming time when I get there.

>buying any of these bluetooth garbage controllers

Just get a ps3,ps4, xb1, 360, or wii/wii u controller connect to bluetooth and buy one of those phone holders on amazon.

If for some reason you are incapable of doing that, than this is the only controller ITT worth a damn. >>383643886

>>383640912
I would buy it, for emulator purposes.

>>383644783
I've had awful experience trying to use console controllers with phones.
They've all got proprietary bullshit Bluetooth and require rooting to work if they'll even work at all. I have a DS3 and wiimote that both required rooting just to work on my old phone and can't on my new one, and my DS4 is unusable no matter what I do.

Ipega 9055.$23

Pros: Analog sticks are good. Height good, material good though not perfect like the 9023 but isn't too tall with too much travel like that one. Reminds me of xbone sticks. Face buttons are alright, quiet but not quite as tactile as would be ideal. L1R1 are somewhat mushy but L2R2 are analog triggers. D-pad is very loud, very tactile. Might be good or bad for you. Can expand to hold a very large phone in landscape as well as a small phone in portrait. Adjustable grip size. Unlike most landscape gamepads this one has enough depth to hold a large phone in a thick case without any problems. Has 4-part battery gauge.

Cons: Analog sticks are very springy, need a little more force than normal. USB port is on the left side, can't hold it while charging. Weird d-pad ergonomics. Expanding grips are gimmicky and make it very hard to disassemble the controller.

Currently this is my choice for best experience, since I rarely use d-pads and the mogas put the weight too far forward thanks to their design.

>gaming in public

>>383644362
I was gonna post this one too. I'm actually considering buying this overpriced piece of chink garbage because no other controllers try to take on this god tier form factor.

Why don't more controllers try to emulate PSVita/PSP?

>>383645132

For the DS4 just hold down the PS button and Share till the light starts to flash. Go to your Bluetooth and pair the game controller. There is some input lag though, so you might have to download the Bluetooth Auto Connect app.

I believe this is final one. Don't buy this piece of shit. It resembles the one from earlier but the buttons are shitty, mushy rubber and the d-pad is slick on the surface and loose inside.

>>383645469
That shallow travel is a bitch though, to be honest. I would never pick it over a 9023 or 9055 if I was, say, carrying a bag and staying overnight somewhere.

If y'all need any size comparison pictures, etc let me know and I'll make what you ask for. Here's the 9023 vs the 9055, which is something I couldn't find on google when I was shopping.

>>383645143
Any thoughts on product longevity? Apparently some amazon reviews say that their controller died within a month or so.

>>383646609
I've only had it a few weeks so I can't make any calls about that. Both my 9023s have held up very well for the couple of years I've had them.

I bought this to work as a one-handed controller when using the Gear VR. Totally sucks, stick got stuck all the time and I had to take it apart and sand down the slot it rests in just to keep it from getting caught.
Would have been better if the stick traveled upwards the same amount it traveled downward.
I currently use it with my drawing tablet with Joy2Key as a one-handed shortcut machine for undo/redo, canvas rotate, brush size up/down, etcetera. Really useful for that! Not bad for 3 bucks.

Thanks OP, neat thread

SNES30 has Switch support. SNES30 is perfect.

>>383646020
Have you used any of these for laptop gaming at all? Do any of them come with a USB port to avoid bluetooth altogether for this purpose?

Looking for a compact gamepad I can shove in my backpack for long periods of time without worrying about breaking off joysticks or something.
