In terms of controls, the analog sticks are great as are the buttons on the front of the gamepad, including the d-pad itself.

The screen will also display a message stating that this Moto Mods has been successfully installed and ready to use. Once installed, the lights below the triggers will glow red, your phone will vibrant and make a chime noise informing you that it has been connected. More importantly while playing games on this controller, it actually feels like a console experience which is where the Moto Mods Gamepad shines. Most games work really well on the gamepad but a few need to be remapped. Needless to say, there’s a whole heap of games that support this attached to your Motorola smartphone. This app lists all the games that are compatible with the device that includes titles such as Beach Buggy, Dead Effect 2, Dungeon Quest and even Super Bunny World. Although the Moto Mods Gamepad is not compatible with all games but Motorola have included a very helpful app called Moto Game Explorer. It’s also held in with a strong magnet so it’s very sturdy for playing games. Installation is very easy… your phone simply clicks into the Motos Mods and presto, you now have a full-size gaming controller for all your gaming excitement. In terms of the built-in battery and according to Motorola, this will give you an additional 8 hours of battery life.

So while you have all the buttons that you would find on a console controller from two analog sticks (with grip), a d-pad plus two shoulder buttons per side on the top and lastly, a home, start and select button plus A, B, X and Y buttons, it’s everything you find on a console controller.įurthermore the Moto Mods Gamepad includes a 1035 mAh built-in battery to give your gaming sessions more power, a 3.5m headset jack for headphones and even a USB-C port for charging. However I digress because I’m reviewing the Moto Mods Gamepad here which turns your smartphone into a gaming device.

So what exactly is a Moto Mods? It’s basically an official attachment for your Motorola smartphone that attaches to the back of the device that allows you to connect all sorts of devices like more powerful speakers or a bigger battery and even a projector so you can project your videos. The best option and if you own a Motorola compatible Moto Mods smartphone like the Moto Z3 Play which we just reviewed at is to purchase their gamepad.

One option is to buy an external Bluetooth gamepad for your smartphone which kind of defeats the purpose or you can buy gamepad attachments that almost work. So while there are first person shooters, racing games and online RPG’s, the control mechanics unfortunately don’t mix that well with the virtual controllers.

Although smartphones are almost reaching the same console quality of the PlayStation and Xbox, navigating these games is generally horrendous on the touch screen, except for those rather boring endless runners.
