Playing Sonic CD also shows why hard controls work best with platform/side-scrolling games: fine-controlled actions need a light touch on a stick, not finger smears across a touch-screen circle/button. I did find the “action buttons” a bit small for my taste though. AFter a few minutes I didn’t have to keep looking down to see what control was against what finger. Sega’s Virtual Tennis was already installed and while it’s a virtua yawn, the game is a good one to use for getting used to how the MOGA feels during game play.

Now since gravity is holding the phone in place, it’s best to use the MOGA on a flat surface - yes you could hold it up but then there’s a chance the phone could come loose and fall out, especially during the heat of gaming where one’s body starts to sway and swing in beat with the buttons being mashed. The other lights consist of a flashing red to indicate “Sleep” mode and a slow blinking red to indicate low battery power.

There’s a series of LED lights on the MOGA: having accessed the already installed Pivot app and followed the pairing commands, the blinking blue light indicating that a Bluetooth connection between phone and controller was in progress became green after about 25 seconds (it took slightly less when a 3-second press of the PowerA button “woke” the controller back up from it having gone to sleep after 7 minutes of inactivity). But I did have to take it out again because I hadn’t realized that the power switch was concealed by the flip up arm. In my case, a HTC model was provided and it fit snugly into position. The MOGA has a flip up section at the back front edge that can accommodate an Android-based phone horizontally. For those looking for the most current list of titles compatible with the MOGA Mobile Gaming System, go to And doing downloads from a different site, like Google Play, can be done as well - but of course then the game must be checked first as to whether it has been enhanced for use with the controller. Its use is straightforward but doesn’t necessarily have all the latest games noted since it must update. MOGA provides an app (Pivot) that aggregates and finds those games that have been enhanced for play using the controllers “hard” controls. In the included semi-rigid pouch that has room for extra batteries.
But it’s what it’s got packed inside - Bluetooth, and studded on top - buttons and triggers and analog sticks, that makes it a well-gripped accessory worth toting around. It has a solid feel and isn’t lightweight - party that’s due to its using a set of “AAA” batteries inside a compartment on the back.

The MOGA is of moderate size: larger than a “candy bar” stick control, but about a third smaller than the average stand-alone game console controller (like that for a PS3 or XBox 360). This is one of the best best gaming accessories for mobile gaming.
Rather than choose between mobile gaming and a game console, get PowerA’s MOGA Mobile Gaming System’s game controller for your Android-based smartphone instead. But touch-screen controls can’t beat the actual sensation of holding a controller whose buttons and joysticks ache to be mashed and pushed. Gaming apps for smartphones have proliferated over the last few years, and it’s hard to complain against their low price and the number of genre-spanning titles that are now available.
