Review of the Ipega PG-9218 Mobile Games Controller

Another controller from Ipega’s extensive range! This one has a built-in mobile gaming clip so that you can game on the go, as well as bluetooth, a 2.4GHz dongle, and USB C wired support. It also supports a wide range of systems.

But is it any good?

Good range of options.

Rattle when shaked. Sticks aren’t accurate.

Minimal

OK – but there are better options out there

Verdict

The big selling points of this controller is that it has a wide range of connectivity options, and that it has a built-in clip for your phone so that you can game on the go. I bought it for the built-in clip, and in that resect it was an utter failure for me. It might be OK for someone with a smaller phone, but without being able to use it with MY phones, and the issues with the sticks, this is hard to recommend when there are so many better options available for not much more than the $31 USD this cost.
