If your primary focus is cloud gaming, the 8BitDo Ultimate Mobile Gaming Controller - Xbox Edition is a well-built, well-priced controller grip that delivers an excellent experience across devices. The trade-off is shaky at best, with native mobile game support and rear buttons that are more for show than play.

Pros

  • +Most secure phone grip I've tested in a mobile controller
  • +Xbox Cloud Gaming plays beautifully across platforms
  • +Hall effect joysticks and triggers
  • +Supports both iOS and Android
  • +Undercuts the competition on price

Cons

  • -Games display PlayStation button labels despite Xbox ABXY layout
  • -Native mobile game compatibility is limited
  • -Rear buttons went unrecognized in every game I tested
  • -Companion app is bare-bones and clunky
