The MOGA Pro Controller is one of the best gaming accessories for Android smartphones and tablets, giving you the tactile feedback of a traditional console controller. The MOGA Pro also includes a helpful flip-up clip called the MOGA Arm, which holds your smartphone just above the controller, like a handheld. Let’s take a closer look at how it works.
Use comfortable console-style controls on Android
The biggest benefit of the MOGA Pro is the greater level of control that it provides for games. Tapping on glass is fine – and indeed, we’ve seen a whole new category of games designed for this – but for playing traditional genres like RPGs, shooters or racers, there’s nothing better than a proper console-style controller. This is particularly apparent when you’re playing games that designed for the PC or consoles, whether they’re older titles played in an emulator or more recent ports to Android.
The MOGA Pro has exactly the same layout as modern consoles like the Xbox or PlayStation, with a pair of clickable thumb sticks, a D-Pad, four face buttons, start/select buttons, two shoulder buttons and two triggers. That means you won’t need to adjust to the controller – you’ll already be proficient with it. The controller’s rubberised grips are also console-quality, so you can play for hours in comfort.
A convenient form factor for portable gaming or console-style gaming on TVs
The MOGA Arm clip is also a great help, ensuring you don’t need a separate stand to use with your phone. You can play just as easily on the tube as you can in your living room, with the whole affair proving compact and light enough to easily be wielded in a single hand.
As you have a Bluetooth connection, you’ll also find it possible to hook your smartphone or tablet up to an HDTV (using an MHL or SlimPort adapter) and the included tablet stand. Then, you play games on your TV just like a traditional console. It’s quite an experience playing Dead Trigger 2 on a 40″ HDTV, and if you don’t have a Xbox or a PlayStation it’s a nice and cheap way to get the same kind of experience.
Finding the right game is easy
There are plenty of games that support controllers on Android, and MOGA have made them easy to find with their new MOGA Pivot app, which shows all MOGA compatible games. The MOGA Pro controller is compatible with all Android devices running 2.3 or higher with Bluetooth… which is basically all of them.
Like the MOGA Pro, but more powerful…
The MOGA Pro is also available in a new variant, called the MOGA Pro Power. It’s just like the MOGA Pro, but it also includes a 2200 mAh battery pack. With this, you can charge your phone while you’re gaming. This reduces the impact gaming tends to have on your battery life, and can keep you going for hours away from a plug socket.
