Call of Duty Mobile was an overnight sensation when it officially released last year, but not without some controversy. Certain features that players enjoyed during the beta period were removed before the game launched worldwide. The most controversial removal was Call of Duty Mobile controller support for both iOS and Android versions of the game.

Fortunately, Activision heard player complaints and added the feature back in an update a few months after release. However, official support is limited to just a few controllers, and like in PUBG Mobile and Fortnite, using a controller will match you will other players using controllers to keep things fair.

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

Does Call of Duty Mobile have full controller support?

As of November 2019, Call of Duty Mobile has limited controller support on iOS and Android. Currently only two controllers are officially supported, and they only work in-game. Navigating menus and loadout screens still has to be done with touch controls.

Sensitivity for each game type (Multiplayer, Battle Royale, and Zombie) can be customized individually in settings, but button mappings cannot be adjusted for now. Developers have also committed to further optimizing Call of Duty Mobile controller support in the future.

If you’re looking for fully customizable controls, you’ll have to play the game on an emulator like Bluestacks or the official Call of Duty Mobile emulator.
