Buyer beware!!! Not fortnite compatible.

Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2018

Verified Purchase

Does not work with an iPhone. Does not work with Android. The app you must have to use this controller no longer exsists. This will not work with Fortnite mobile. The product requires and app that no longer exists (as of 8-10-2018). Is not compatible with any device.

App removed from store, I do not suggest buying.

Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2019

Verified Purchase

Controller is convenient, has a very large battery, and will even charge your phone albiet very slowly, probably not even fast enough to actually charge the device if playing a graphically intensive game.

The analog sticks feel okay, but they are relatively hard to click. The buttons on the controller feel really cheap, and they are also very loud.

The controller has two modes, labeled A and B. Mode A is for the official Moga driver, B is XInput, like an Xbox controller. Some games only support mode A, others only support mode B. Which brings me to my biggest complaint: Mode A only works when you have the official Moga Pivot app installed.
This app has been removed from the play store without a trace.

The controller is still usable without it, but only games with generic/Xbox controller support. My suggestion to you if you are thinking of purchasing this controller is to instead buy an Xbox one controller, which a lot of people already own, and then a "game clip", which is the same mechanism this controller has to hold your phone, that clips on to an Xbox one controller. They also make these clips for PS4 and Switch controllers.

Won’t work with PubG, Is a hassle to set up

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2019

Verified Purchase

I bought this for my husband to play PubG(?) but this controller doesn’t work with that game. Apparently the developer feels it is cheating and so they ban you if you use this. So that should be stated somewhere as it, apparently, is a popular game. Anyway, the one is because it is a hassle to set up. It is in no way plug and play, you have to scan a QR code that is then stated to be no longer valid and then search online for an app that will let you connect your phone. Before we found out you can’t use the controller in the game, we spent forever trying to set it up. Not worth it.

Can't Recommend Enough

Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2017

Verified Purchase

I can't recommend this enough. I was using a PS4 controller via Bluetooth before which was getting a lot of input lag unless you directly plugged it into your phone; doing so drains your battery a ton as it then tries to charge the PS4 controller. The clip to hold your phone actually has some grip to it, it's a tacky and textured rubberized grip. It feels like and has a layout comparable to an Xbox One controller. It connects via Bluetooth and has two switches on it, one "A" is only for specific games featured in the Moga store. The "B" switch is your basic universal controller and is the one most likely to always be used. You cannot plug this controller into your phone like a PS4 controller, it only operates via Bluetooth. You can connect up to 4 simultaneous remotes as well for multiplayer games. The buttons and joysticks are responsive and feel comfortable to use, the sticks have grip and the d-pad is contoured. There is a model higher than the Pro version which has a larger internal battery but it also makes the controller heavier. This is a fantastic intermediary.

That College Student

It was fun while it lasted. May buy again.

Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2019

Verified Purchase

I loved this product while I had it. It never did break (completely), and I had it 'til a few months back when I must've lost it. I used it a lot. It fit in my pockets if I had nothing in them, though just barely. It got some hard beatings in my backpack and the right shoulder ended up popping off, but the shoulders never would work with my phone to begin with so I didn't really care. I ended up gluing it back in so it wouldn't look weird, but kept it in a bag after that just in case. The joysticks also didn't stay perfect since there was a hard portion for the actual knob and then some softer rubber extending out another centimeter, and that rubber only stayed about a month before it started chipping from normal thumb pressure. Granted, maybe I was pressing a bit hard, but other Xbox controllers I'd used had never had an issue. Commection was also a pain since the Bluetooth was slow, but I loved it anyway and once it was connected it was fine. I used it for both GBA emulators on my phone and Dolphin/Citra/PCSX2 emulations for on the go play when I don't have my consoles. It was a blast. Many-a plane flights were made much more enjoyable with this little gadget + my phone, and around the school, it was great with my laptop. The slim design was honestly the best part and why I may choose this controller again to replace the lost one, though it did feel a bit cheaper than I'd like. I think a lot of money and resources went into the power bank, which ended up not getting used since I have plenty of separate power banks, but I did appreciate almost never having to charge the controller since it'd stay good for literally days of nearly constant use. The clamp was really sturdy too with my phone. I have a Galaxy S4 with a rather bulky case and it held it perfectly. It's never fallen and has never had an issue. It was honestly a wonderful bang for the buck buy for what it's worth. Honestly, this is probably the best $20-30 range compact controller I could hope for. 10/10 would buy again, though also might not as I may go for a $60 high-quality version, but even compared to those and even with all the previously mentioned this still ranks up there among those controllers. Me and this controller have been through a lot. GBA, N64, and Gamecube Zelda foes alike have been vanquished with it, and I got most of the way through mario N64 before realizing it was a game mechanic and not just an emulation glitch that my hat was gone...... ahhhhh good times.....
Anyway, this little guy served me well. It's a good contender for a controller. Lightweight, too. Keep it in a bag and baby those controllers and it'll work like a dream.

PS: I've used this with several laptops and phones and never had more issues than I'd have with any other blue tooth device (i.e. mildly annoying slowness but workable and always connected in the end). Make sure the switch is on the correct side.

PSPS: before the Nintendo Switch came out, I was using it at some point with my phone and someone said "Wooooooah is that the new Switch??!" and I got to laugh and explain that it was a phone and a $20 controller. It was a silly mix up since it looks more like a 3ds than a switch, but it brightened up my day feeling like I had cool tech despite being a cheap broke student with no higher budget for a controller. I had other instances with people fawning over the coolness of using my phone and the controller as a gaming device, but that one struck me as the funniest.

Great portable and still going!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 3, 2019

Verified Purchase

Had this for a while now. The A button rubber part inside is wearing out but I just flipped it as I cannot find the part to get new ones. The battery is still going strong and connections are fine. Power b always works as a standard USB device. Power A always needed the pivot app which is dead now unless you still have it or know where to find a working link.
Comfortable and snappy. I find the D pad to be terrible as really square and rigid corners and literally no roll to it. You can mod it but I havn't bothered.
I didn't use it for like a year and when I did, it still had full battery. I think I charge it like 2 times a month if I am using it a lot. It is picked up on SteamLink Anywhere too so PC gaming on your Phone/tablet!!!

Worth the buy for longevity and the fact you can change the type of buttons if you spend time looking for them.

Great Gamepad for Gear VR use.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 11, 2016

Verified Purchase

I bought this gamepad to use with my Samsung Gear VR.
I had already bought the Samsung gamepad as seen in this link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FP825JQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I found the Samsung too small for my already small hands. So I sold it and bought this MOGA instead,
The MOGA felt much better for me. It's larger (very similar to an Xbox 360 controller), and it feels robust and well made.
It paired very easily with my Samsung Galaxy Note 5. It has a none removable rechargeable battery which lasts a long time before needing to be recharged.
I think it's a great wireless gamepad, and I would certainly recommend it for Samsung Gear VR use.

Poor quality, too late for replace/refund and hardly used!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 27, 2016

Verified Purchase

Ordered this in march figuring I'ld have some fun next time I was ill in bed. Well that time has come and the left stick decides to randomly pull to the right :( Using it in HID mode with grand theft auto Vice city and san andreas on my galaxy s6 edge+. The issue makes it impossible for me to play these games. I literally just took it out of the box on purchase and charged it, it's been on my bedside table until now where I charged it again before use to make sure everything would be ok. The return window has passed and I can see no way to get in contact with the seller so basically a total waste of money, must be very poorly made :( I have tried moga's suggestion for calibration (found on a reddit thread) and unpaired and paired it multiple times - basically tried everything - very disappointing!

Nexus 6P Nougat Android 7.0 compatible

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 14, 2016

Verified Purchase

I have only had about 20 min to mess with the controller but I wanted to share some compatibility stuff.

I was able to sync with a Nexus 6P on 7.0 in both A and B mode with no problems. I paired them both with the phone's Bluetooth settings. When I opened the app it completed the A mode setup and seemed happy. I haven't tested it with an A mode game yet but I was able to navigate the menu.

B mode works great with RetroArch, that's what I really wanted it for. I have not tried more complicated button mapping yet though.

I was expecting the clamp to mess with the awkward button placement on the 6P but it doesn't. I have it in the official case (with the fuzzy back) with the buttons up and that seems to work fine. The clamp extends plenty. Even a very big case wouldn't be a problem. I'm relieved I don't have to rig something.

So far build quality looks great. It's a nice weight, inputs seem good quality. Feels a lot like a 360 controller.

I'll update if anything sours my opinion but things are looking good!

Great for GearVr

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 20, 2016

Verified Purchase

I bought this controller for use with my Gear VR, being a big fan of the Xbox controller style.
the controller works perfectly with the headset/phone and both looks and feels like a good quality item.
I've since also started using this controller with my Raspberry Pi3 and, despite it taking a little bit of configuration up front, it's now working well over a Bluetooth connection and I'm considering buying another one (for player 2).
