Why we chose the Backbone One
This version of the Backbone One comes in a variety of different looks and color schemes, which is good news if there's a specific vibe you're aiming for with your accessories.
Aside from having off-set analog sticks, buttons in all the right places, and a really nice design, it's also easy to use and extraordinarily comfortable. It's a very close second to the Razer Kishi Ultra, and for some people, it will likely be their preference if they like the look of it.
It also has pass-through charging, which is excellent if you're planning a huge gaming session and you're near a plug socket. That might sound weird to some, but is a way of life to others, and a huge part of what makes this a great pick.
Reasons to Buy
- We've reviewed it, and we're a big fan
- Pass-through charging allows you to kill two birds with one stone
3. SteelSeries Stratus+
Best budget controller for Warzone Mobile
* prices are accurate at the time of the last update
Why we chose the SteelSeries Stratus+
Our budget choice in this field is the SteelSeries Stratus+. Normally any SteelSeries device would be amongst the more expensive options, but that's mostly when it comes to audio options.
This controller might not feel as premium as the others, but the comfort level is still high, and it'll give you everything you need to start climbing those online leaderboards. It also comes with a cool little phone holder, so you can have it almost like a Nintendo DS of sorts.
It can be connected in a couple of different ways, and it has a pretty impressive 90-hour battery life as well, which should be longer than even the most hardcore gamers can manage. That's not a challenge, please don't take it as such.
Reasons to Buy
- Cheaper than most mobile controllers
- Unique phone holder differentiates it from others
4. GameSir G8 Galileo
Best controller for Warzone Mobile for comfort

Why we chose the GameSir G8 Galileo
If you want comfort, then be sure to check out the GameSir G8 Galileo, because it's like a little hug for the inside of your hands. Who wouldn't want a hand hug?
This controller is really easy to use and feels like an Xbox Elite controller split in half. We mean that with the highest praise. The buttons are responsive too, the triggers and joysticks are sturdy and reactive, and it looks really good. That may not help you win more games, but everyone likes nice-looking things.
It's not just comfortable; it's an all-around winner; it's just that this category is surprisingly stacked. In the sea of competition though, this one is still worth your attention.

Why we chose the 8BitDoPro 2
Finally, we've got the 8Bitdo Pro 2, which is a very cool controller, especially for those who like that slightly old-school look and feel. It's compatible with more than just mobiles, making it a great option to consider pairing with one of the best tablets for Warzone if you prefer a larger screen.
This controller is unlike most of the others on the list because you don't wrap it around your phone. Instead, you get to just use it and treat your phone like a tiny little TV, and we love that.
Along with that, it has plenty of buttons, including two back paddles for quick access, lots of extra sensors, a great feel, and customizable profiles to make it easy to switch its settings on the fly. All of these features add up to something that'll help you succeed playing Warzone mobile.
