What kind of controller do I need to play games on Mi box?

by MinerAlum

Have the original Mi box and have played any games before in my life.

However have become interested in playing a few games now!

What is a good controller to buy?

The Xbox 360 wired one is confirmed (by me, lol) to work, the PS4 one doesn't work.

Any BT controller compatible with Android should work. I have a 8bitdo SF 30 Pro and it works on everything.

The game controllers work connected but have not any success with any bluetooth controllers so far. Tried Xbox One S, PS4, and PS3.

But on the Nvidia, they all work great.

Logitech F710 works. Currently using it for Steam Link. But needs the dongle though.

Xbox one syncs flawlessly

Have you tried any controller that you already own? eg. a regular PC USB controller.

Many bluetooth and usb controllers work in Android. For 8-bit/16-bit video game emulation (NES, SNES, Genesis, Arcade, etc.) you could use something like this with RetroArch for the 'classic feel':

Your remote can be use to play some games see this post. https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidTV/comments/a9rc12/how_do_you_play_games_on_mi_box_s_the_remote/ecmxyrc/

But if you want a controller this will work.

The XBOX One S controller (the one with Bluetooth) works fine

The 8bitdo range of controllers work great with the Mi Box.

I mostly play retro type games on the Mi, and the 8bitdo NES and SNES style pads are perfect for me in that regard.
