moga pro power - not very good experience, any alternatives?

[talz13]

So I got a moga pro power for last Christmas. I really want it to be good, but I've not had a good experience with it yet (and that's over a 7 month span!) Just now I was trying it with SuperGNES on my galaxy note 10.1 2014 just to see if it was something with my nexus 5. Fired up street fighter 2, and can't even get a fireball easily, maybe 1 out of 10 times it manages to do it correctly. Seems like it is either lagging or just not registering the buttons well.

Also, why are the buttons so clicky? I feel like I'm going to wake the dead when I try to play in the evening, they're so loud. I certainly wouldn't want to be sitting next to someone who was in the middle of a gaming session with a moga.

Is this the usual situation with Bluetooth controllers, are there any better ones? Should I just get another OTG cable and use my 360 controller?

Anybody else have experience with the Moga pro power or similar? I'm looking for something that works well and has good (console quality) buttons if there are any alternatives.

I use the Drone that was kickstarted not too long ago. I love mine and use it time to time. But there is no battery meter, but it works.

I'm using Moga Pro over a year now for me its perfect, mostly I use it in B mode [HID].
The latest game which I'm playing is Leo's fortune
Perfect.

You're always going to get some lag with a bluetooth controller on Android/iOS. Android doesn't have true built-in Bluetooth controller support, so they either use a custom driver (moga) or the bluetooth keyboard support (Moga in HID mode, plus most other controllers) which isn't optimized for input lag.

If you haven't already, give the other mode on your Moga a try (A vs B). If neither works well, Bluetooth just isn't going to be quick enough for you.
