What's the best controller for Android devices? I wanna start using my phone for emulation.
There's no degeneracy like on-screen virtual buttons.
I need a good-ass d-pad. D-pads are essential for retro.

Satan, I know your thing ain't being constructive, but unless you somehow know of a way to plug a wired controller to a phone just stay out of it.

bluetooth is gay and has hueg input lag get one that plugs in instead
i just use a ds4 since i had one from the paperweight i bought and stick my phone on top of a giant tumor attached to the controller
no matter what if you want to use a controller with it it'll always look retarded so just get something that works instead

Don't use your phone as an emulation device.

Just grab one of these bluetooth mod kits from 8bitdo instead of buying garbage chink controllers.

Should I use someone else's phone then? Wouldn't that be rude at best and illegal at worst?

I… have hear of it. Yes, I have. I hear about those all the time. I have heard of them earlier today even…
I haven't.

The 8bitdo gamepad(your first pic) is the one I use with my Note 8. It has a few issues with some of the emulators, like making very complicated to set up both analog sticks at the same time, but I bought it because it was the closest thing to a PS4 controller with the ease of portability

A hacked vita can play Vita, PSP and PS1 games natively and also has Retroarch. On top of that Piracy is piss easy since there is an application called pkgj that works exactly like Freeshop rip but for anything from the PSN store that the Vita can play. Hell, even the old piracy methods used for PSP games and eboots still work!

The first DS4 models do have rubber/soft plastic for the analogue sticks that wear out.
Heard nothing about the new Dualshock 4 model, though.

Unless you can find a non wireless controller, you better off buying a laptop than using a phone for portable gaming.

i have the crissaegrim model that looks like a gold famicom controller. the sticks feel fine. clicking them in for that R3/L3 action doesn't feel good (gotta push them in too hard, and the controller's so tiny it feels like i'm going to break the controller) but otherwise i love the thing. the only really big downside to it in my opinion is the retarded R2/L2 placement, but it's not a dealbreaker

I mean it. You can't say a phone is the best way to emulate DS becsuse it isn't. It's probably the simplest way, I'm sure it's the cheapest way, when you think readily available touch screen you think cell phone and not PC, but a PC will run a DS emulator better than a phone and that's not a matter of opinion.
If you're talking about anything but performance when you say "best" you may have a point, which is why I ask what's your definition of "best''.

I have the exact 8bitdo controller shown in the first pic. It's a good controller with obviously decent production value so it doesn't feel like it's going to break if you drop it like most Chinese shit. However the clip to hold your phone is… not so great. It works, sure, but the controller itself is very light and phones are heavier, especially if you're using a case, making the controller/phone handheld assembly noticeably top-heavy. It's also set at an angle that can't be adjusted which I find annoying. This causes significant awkwardness when holding it for extended periods, and doesn't feel very good. It's hard to explain, but it's like the assembly is always wanting to fall backwards out of your hands. Secondly, the clip itself holding the phone doesn't hold it very well, and I've had it pop out multiple times if I jostle it too much. It's probably because I don't take the case off my phone, but who the hell can be bothered with that all the time.

Shit, I forgot completely! I do have a 3DS! I think the last time I even turned it on was before I got married, I'm sure the firmware is ancient!

But while we’re on the subject of on the go shit, if you’re gonna bother spending cash, you may as well grab a vita, OP.
Or a 3DS if you prefer that library. Which, given that you’re after ds games, you probably are.

Yep, it's the first Google result and very easy. Only thing you need is an sd card reader (and a larger micro sd card if you want to be able to store more games on it at once).
