I have been looking around for a controller for my new S4 and the only one that seems to be made for the S4 is kind of crummy. Do people have favorite controllers that they use with their S4? I want something that can hold the phone up and fits large hands well.

is there a bluetooch gamepad and case for htc desire? kind of transform it into a portable console? the htc desire on top and it's gamepad at the bottom?
I'm actually looking for the same thing! If anyone knows, please inform us!
It'd be nice, but as far as I know, there's nothing like that (being sold, anyway). I've been looking for one myself since not long after I got mine, which was a while back now.
There's a couple controllers I think being sold in marketplace, modded wii classic controllers. The wii controller seems best suited for it, I think it'd be great if someone made a custom case to house these 2 together
for me, wiimote looks too big for it? want a portable gamepad... msi bgp100 looks nice and quite portable but does not seem to fit the htc desire
it should just fit it, but that one's made for using portrait, not very good for almost every game really. if they made one for landscape mode games, it'd be perfect
iControlPad? http://icontrolpad.com/
Works over bluetooth, but currently only fits small iPhone sized phones, but you might JUST get away with a desire. Their forum has some posts on what fits and one member posted a load of images of phones fitting/not fitting in the pad.
Says in stock and shipping too!
EDIT Found the posts with the pictures showing what fits. Not a massive selection, but something you have might be comparable.

the icontrolpad looks nice! this the kind of case i am looking for!!! you think the desire will fit in it?
edit: don't think it will fit... Droid Incredible and Sanyo Zio are slightly too large and they are 117.5 and 116mm wide respectively and they are slightly too large for the icontrolpad while desire is 119mm.. do won't fit
Well its only 4mm longer than an iPhone. They will be making new clamps for larger phones so it's only a matter of time.
I've ordered one anyway. I don't have a Desire though, Nexus One and SGS (which has no hope of fitting in clamp set #1). Should be able to test fit one though, a fellow at work has one.
yup even if it's too tight, you can try the tip given there

to lossen the screw... hope the nexus one fits in! it has similar dimensions as the desire
Does anyone know if there exists any cases with physical buttons (either hooks into usb or transmits via bluetooth)? For example I just saw this case for iPhone, but even it is designed for a specific game functionality. What I would love is something that is just a case that you put on the phone which has physical keys that you can use to turn it into a little portable gaming device. I'm guessing that nothing like this exists for our phones so far, but does anyone know of anything like this that exists at all? If there is that is good place to start with asking that company to make one for our phone as well.
Not a case but it's universal.

Yah that looks like about what I wanted. Is there any competition (its $70!) or this the only one anyone is aware of?
Try out the Sixaxis software in the market. Works great with any ps3 sixaxis controller
Yah I've been using sixaxis + hdmi mirroring with my Atrix on my tv since it first came out like a year ago, I'm more looking for a on the go solution. Playing any action games where you need fine tuned controls on a touch screen is just painful.
then icontrolpad is the way to go. No others offer a solution (unless you go apple)
Okay I have been looking at getting a controller for my phone. Mostly to play emulators and such games. I would kinda like to get something that would be open to future Galaxy Phones, and perhaps work with my UAG case.
Okay, I found some really good controllers. One of the ones I found is PhoneJoy, it looks really good. It looks like it can fit the Note 3 as well as the HTC One. There forums aren't really too helpful. I am wondering if anyone knows anything about the company or perhaps which size should I go for to fit my phone. I am leaning towards the Note 3.

What do you guys think? Anyone own any controllers for their phone?
I have the steelseries free. It's an awesome controller and comfortable enough to keep in your pocket on the go!

Works with everything too
A PS3 controller with the Sixaxis app is the best that I've ever used
Sent from my SGH-I337M using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I like the F310, it's really cheap ~$15 when on sale.
But it takes up your usb port and requires OTG so it's not the most elegant at all.
I have a moga pocket, connects easily via BT. Tiny and clips to my galaxy s4 like a charm. Works with all the emulators I've tried via an unofficial driver app. Even come with a carry pouch. The only drawback is although it has 2 sticks, it has no actual dpad (Though the pro version does). http://store.mogaanywhere.com/Products/CPFA000253-01
I like to play emulators and some Android games on my s4. I like the the Samsung Controller and the fact that is works with no root and had the 3 modes to work for as many games as possible. I don't think I have found a way to root with the nc5 Ota yet.. Anyways any recommendations for a controller for the s5? Thanks!
I know this is an old thread, but if you are still looking I just ordered this:
http://www.gearbest.com/bluetooth-keyboard/pp_25163.html
I haven't received it yet but it was worth the risk since it was so cheap.
I use an usb otg cable( http : //www.amazon.it/Wentronic-0-2m-USB-2-0-Micro-B/dp/B005HIRC9M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420480241&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+otg ) and a cheapo usb controller( http : //www.amazon.it/Wentronic-0-2m-USB-2-0-Micro-B/dp/B005HIRC9M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420480241&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+otg ). You can chose the controller that you like and you don't have to charge it.

I have one and it's great, takes a bit of fiddling to get it to connect, but works like a charm once it's connected, feels exactly like an xbox360 control pad, although not quite a good quality as an xbox360 pad, still very good.
Another thread got me thinking about control pads, and how it might be nice to have a bluetooth one which I could use for both my phone and my laptop. It got me looking around and... there are so many. There are controllers with keyboards and touch pads, both of which seem like they could come in handy. There are controllers which enclose the phone and ones which mount it up above like a top-heavy trophy. And knock-offs for all of what I've mentioned.
Ideally, I'd like one with the standard set of buttons (four face and four triggers), which I can use as a typical xinput controller on my laptop (with rumble, if possible), and it also needs to mount my phone somehow. And then, in addition to that, as many-whiz bang extras (keyboard, touchpad, extra battery, pneumatic mind reader) as I can get without compromising the quality. I realize you can get a lot of stuff on a cheapo controller, with a squishy d-pad and stiff buttons. What I want is a good controller... with a lot of stuff. If possible.
I'd hoped the market on these would have settled by now, but there seem to be more options than ever. Anyone have a recommendation?

Okay thanks, I'll give it a shot. Maybe someone with something to say about controllers will read through 822 pages of device recommendations...
