It works but D-pad is very stiff and unusable for many games

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 January 2014

This control pad syncs with your phone using an app you have to download from the Play store. Once done, it can be used to play games on your phone. I have one complaint and that is the D-Pad. It is quite stiff and sometimes precision os lost when you are playing certain games. For instance, in fighting games like Street Fighter 4, the fireballs and special moves are quite hard to pull off. The d-Pad is way too stiff and for racing games where you have to change gears using the up and down directions, you can easily press up because the directions are no pronounced enough. This pad is small and looks quite cool. I use it with my Samsung Galaxy Beam, and it works great. For this device, the pad can also work as a remote control for what is on your projector. However, I think they should make a much better d-pad because this one is terrible. I find it weird no one commented on this in the reviews. Take a good look at the pictures before you order.

Gametel Bluetooth Games Controller

I've been looking for other methods of playing games on my android phone (Samsung Galaxy S2) for some time as i find the on screen controls can be somewhat difficult to use , so i was pleasantly surprised to find this device for playing several of my favourites .
I especially was looking for something i could program to control games on the android version of MAME as i love playing old arcade classics like Battlezone , Galaxian , Streetfighter , Time Pilot and many others . This controller fits the bill perfectly and works very well with said games once you suss out how to configure it .
It also works well with other emulators such as N64oid and FPse (the PSX emulator)
It will also work with many newer games such as Reckless Racing , Riptide GP , Another World and Grand Theft Auto 3 & Vice City .
The Gametel website has a list of many more games known to work with it .
There were enough games i had on the list for me to warrant buying one and i don't regret it one bit .
If gaming is your thing and there's a few games on their list you can use with the Gametel , then i would buy one now .
I highly recommend it .

This is a great product for a great price but it's a little fiddley

Getting it set up was pretty painless on Android - Nexus 4. I installed the windows application from the website to upgrade the firmware, mine shipped with V1 and the newest at the time was V1.5, using just a USB to Micro USB cable connected to the computer. Once the firmware was flashed you need to pair the controller to your device which works like pairing any device and is simple enough if you follow the instructions. Charging uses a USB to Micro USB cable and has a led indicator to show charging status. It also has an auto off function to conserve battery.

I use the HID gamepad mode to play emulator games and have so far tested it with only PPSSPP, works perfect with it. Buttons can be rebound in the Gametel app along with some other settings though if your emulator or game allows key rebinding you can also set the keys up that way. The controller can function in a couple of different modes to suit different games, devices and OS's and it can disable the volume keys as a setting if they are being pushed while snapped in.

The clamp that holds the phone feels sturdy enough but it will likely snap if you apply too much pressure on it. It holds my Nexus 4 with not much more room to spare and there's a slight lip over the phone when it's in place that stops it from falling out.

This is my second attempt at trying to get a control pad for my Samsung galaxy Y android phone, the previous controller was an ipega controller which didn’t work because my phone was running android firmware 2.3 and the controller was running off android 4.0. Thankfully after a bit more research and perseverance I found the Gametel controller, which was the same price as the Ipega controller and according to the Gametel website supported android firmware 2.1 and above.

Upon receiving the controller and consulting the instructions manual I was instructed to download the Gametel app from “play store”, after a quick installation and following the instructions to hold start on my controller for 3 seconds the controller appeared in the Gametel app’s device list, much to my relief.

As I mentioned in my Ipega review I had bought this controller to play emulated games on an app called Happy Chic, if you haven’t got this app on your phone and you’re on this page looking for a controller for your phone then I highly recommend you download happy chic as it comprehensively collates all the good emulators available to android phones into one easy to use free app, and also has a fantastic selection of free games which are compiled into a easy to use and access data base, of all the games I searched for on happy chic I found all but two games!

Happy chic works perfectly with this controller and I didn’t have any problems setting up the button configuration for each console, I was even able to save a profile for different play styles, for example I’ve got a button layout for Street fighter on the mega drive which uses a 6 button layout and has heavy kick and heavy punch on the two bottom buttons of my controller, but I can load another profile which has a button layout for streets of rage 2.

If you’re getting one of these pads then be aware that they are designed with retro gaming in mind as it only has a D pad and 6 buttons and wouldn’t really work that well with a modern game, but it is perfect for nes and mega drive games as the D-pad was used on the original controllers for these consoles.

Overall I say the battery life is really good but when the battery is getting low I did notice that the controller was disconnected from my phone every 10 seconds, but it does re-charge quite quickly. One negative thing I would say about this controller is that it should have come with its own charging cable or plug, wouldn’t have cost much to include one, luckily it is the same charger for my phone as it is for my controller.

Another thing worth mentioning is how easy it is to pair and unpair this device, you hold down start for 3 seconds let go and the phone will prompt you to pair the controller, then when you are done simply press and hold start again for 3 seconds and the device will turn off, this is essential especially when you realise that by pairing this device to your phone it temporarily de-activates/replaces the virtual keyboard on your phone, so you have to disconnected the controller to send a text or look on the internet basically.

Aesthetically the controller isn’t much to look at and the buttons do feels a bit weird at first, but I don’t even think about it anymore, as it’s all about the games. Also the part that clips your phone into the controller is a brilliant idea really, as it fits my phone perfectly and makes mobile gaming easier when out and about.

In conclusion this is defiantly worth buying if you want to play some retro gaming, and the added bonus of happy chic means you have a almost limitless supply of free games on the mega drive, Snes, nes, master system, gameboy, n64, playstation, Nds and even arcade titles, in essence for £13 your turning your phone into a micro console with hundreds of free games on it.
