How to Play Call of Duty Mobile with Joystick and Which Are Supported

The official release of Call of Duty Mobile in 2019 was a sensation. Tens of millions of players around the world began to conquer its different modes and compete with each other. True, there was still a small fly in the ointment. During beta testing, the game had many features available that were gone by the time of the official release. The most controversial removal was the Call of Duty Mobile controller support for both iOS and Android versions of the game. Thankfully, Activision heard player complaints and added the feature again in an update a few months after release. However, official support is limited to just a few controllers. It remains to understand this issue in more detail and understand how to use the function, why it is necessary and whether it is generally necessary or easier to play in the old fashioned way.

Does Call of Duty Mobile support controllers

The first thing to keep in mind is that, just like in PUBG Mobile and Fortnite, using a controller will put you in touch with players who play in the same way. This is fair, so we can say thank you for this attitude.

So what controllers does Call of Duty Mobile support and how do I connect them ? Here’s what you need to know!

Call of Duty Mobile ( download from Google Play ) has limited support for iOS and Android controllers since November 2019. Currently, only two controllers are officially supported and they only work in the game. Menu navigation and loading screens should still be navigated using touch controls.

The sensitivity for each type of game (multiplayer, battle royale and zombies) can be adjusted individually in the settings, but the button assignments cannot be changed yet. The developers have also made a commitment to further optimize and support the controllers for Call of Duty Mobile in the future.

If you want fully customizable controls, you’ll have to play the game on an emulator like Bluestacks or the official Call of Duty Mobile emulator. Both of them are also supported, but again they will bring you in touch with other players using emulators.

Which controllers work with Call of Duty Mobile

The only officially supported Call of Duty Mobile controllers are the PlayStation and Xbox controllers. This includes controllers for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X. This is great for players who already own these consoles, but if you don’t have one and want to play with a controller, you’ll have to buy one. … The price, depending on special offers and other factors, varies in the range of 2500-5000 rubles .

Several other Bluetooth controllers can also work with Call of Duty Mobile, although they are not officially supported. Therefore, when buying something great, make sure of compatibility by looking for information on the forums or in our Telegram chat . It is also possible that unofficial controllers will still work, but will not support all functions. This must also be borne in mind.

Can I get banned from Call of Duty Mobile with a controller?

Not! Controller support in Call of Duty Mobile is fully developer-authorized. Using one of them will not result in a ban. Especially if you choose those models that are considered certified (see the list above). But there shouldn’t be any problems with other models either.

But let me remind you once again that using a controller will only add to your comfort. You will not get any advantage, as you will be paired with the same players as you, who also use the controller.
