With Prime Big Deal Days well and truly underway, we’re practically drowning in a flood of superbAmazon Prime Day gaming deals. Now is the perfect time to grab some fresh gear and, if you’re an avid mobile gamer, a shiny new mobile controller can really make a difference.
Perfect for getting the edge in competitive shooters likeCall of Duty: Mobileor enjoying grand RPG adventures likeGenshin ImpactandDiablo Immortal, a mobile controller will lend your portable play a console-quality feel. While I already own a fair few mobile controllers myself, here are the best mobile controller deals that I would personally recommend this Prime Day.
TheBackbone Oneis the best all-round choice, with alternate Lightning and USB-C versions available ensuring compatibility with most iOS and Android devices. An officially licensed PlayStation variant is also available, theBackbone One PlayStation Edition, ideal for those who are already familiar withSony’sPS5controller layout or are interested in exploring PS Remote Play.
We loved the Backbone One in our review, where it bagged a rare 5/5 score, but it is pricey - sittingat $69.99with the 30% discount. You’re certainly getting your money’s worth, but if you have a little less to spend, the GameSir X2 Pro is a great value alternative. There is also an Xbox version of this particular pad available, making it our top choice for mobileXbox Cloud Gaming.
Finally, theRazer Kishi V2is ideal for those with bigger hands who will benefit the most from its slightly chunkier design. Much like the Gamesir X2 Pro, theRazerKishi V2 also offers a version that features an Xbox layout.
As with any peripheral, be careful to double check official documentation to confirm hardware and software compatibility with your device before you buy.
