How to play PUBG Mobile with Controller

Here's the answer to if you can play PUBG Mobile with a controller.

In short, if you want to play PUBG Mobile with a controller, the easiest way would be to simply download an emulator such as Bluestacks and hook one up from there. Emulators such as Bluestacks will allow you to fully map out controllers to use in Mobile games such as PUBG Mobile.

If you want to hook a controller to Bluestacks, you can do so very easily by following Youtube or the Bluestacks website. However, only use Bluestacks at your own risk as playing on emulators will match you with other emulator users. Because of this, you will not be able to play with actual phone users or friends that have phones.

PUBG Mobile also doesn't officially support controller support, and if it detects you are using a controller, it will put you with other controller and emulator users in matches. For that reason, it may seem your only option to play with a controller is to go with the emulator route. However, there are physical controllers designed for phones that will work if you have a key mapper like Panda Gamepad Pro

Most Bluetooth controllers will also work on android, but for the best experience, we feel going an emulator is the way to go, as it requires the least amount of work. You are also not going to be able to play with phone users, so you might as well just play on an emulator.
