One of the things that I dislike most regarding mobile games is their control interface. The games have improved in terms of quality, texture, and resolution … however the controls remain the same: slide and touch on an LCD that, despite being massive, is not able to surpass the old-fashioned controllers from Playstation as well Xbox. The majority of game developers are aware of this and have offered the option of using external controllers in their games. Today you’ll learn how to make the most from using your Playstation 4 controller.
In this article, we’re going to demonstrate the steps to link to your PS4 wireless controller and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (USA). In contrast to the controller for the PS3 in this case, you don’t require a root user. All of this is controlled by the configurations of the terminal and it takes less than an hour. There are two options available: via Bluetooth or via USB-OTG. Both are equally effective however, to me personally, I prefer to go via cable.
Utilizing Bluetooth: Bluetooth connection:
Let’s start with the more complex option. I’m using the term “complicated” because it is the longest of the two. It is all you need to do is have the PS4 controller in your possession and turn it off, then follow the steps in the following:
-
The remote can be turned on with”PS” and “Share. “PS” and “Share” buttons simultaneously and hold them down until the light turns white rapidly.
-
In your Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (USA) go to Settings > Bluetooth and look for a brand new device. “Wireless Controller” should appear.
-
Click it and join it.
-
Ready!
I, for instance, have played with the Game Boy emulator and it has worked flawlessly for me with any issue. Although I don’t know if it is due to the emulator or Bluetooth itself, however, I did give it some small jerks but the program didn’t react with the speed you think. This is why I would prefer the second choice.
Using a USB-OTG:
With a USB-OTG connector, it is possible to connect any kind of peripheral device on your Android phone, from a keyboard to a mouse, via an external pen drive, hard drive, or even the PS4 controller. You will require a USB-OTG connection (below you can find two cables priced at 8.99 dollars on Amazon and another in the event that your phone has USB Type C). This process is much easier because it simply involves connecting and prepared.
