So, you're looking to up your game in PUBG Mobile with a controller? It's a question I've wondered myself, especially when I see all the cool accessories for mobile gaming. The short answer is no, PUBG Mobile does not officially support controllers. But, as with many things in the gaming world, there's a bit more to the story.

I remember when I first tried to connect my Bluetooth controller to my phone for a match. I was so excited, thinking I'd have a huge advantage. The controller paired with my phone just fine, but when I launched PUBG Mobile, nothing happened. I could navigate my phone's home screen, but in the game, the controller was useless. It was a pretty disappointing moment, but it taught me a valuable lesson about how PUBG Mobile keeps the playing field even. They want to make sure that everyone is using the same touchscreen controls, which makes sense for fair competition. Maybe that's also why they have bots in PUBG Mobile, to help new players get the hang of the controls.

Unofficial Ways to Use a Controller

Now, just because there's no official support doesn't mean it's impossible. There are some unofficial ways to get a controller working with PUBG Mobile. These usually involve using third-party apps that map the controller's buttons to the touchscreen. Think of it like a virtual finger pressing the screen for you.

Here's a quick look at how these apps work:

• Keymapper Apps: These apps create an overlay on your screen where you can drag and drop controller button icons to match the in-game buttons.
• PC Emulators: If you play PUBG Mobile on your computer using an emulator like Gameloop, you can often use a controller with it. These emulators have built-in controller support.

I have a friend who tried using a keymapper app, and he said it was a mixed bag. On one hand, he loved the feel of the controller and felt like he had more precise aiming. But on the other hand, he was always worried about getting banned. PUBG Mobile has a pretty strict policy against using third-party software, and if they detect it, you could lose your account. He eventually decided it wasn't worth the risk and went back to using the touchscreen controls.

So, while you can technically use a controller with PUBG Mobile, it's not something I would recommend. The risk of getting banned is just too high, and it's not worth losing all your hard-earned progress. It's better to just get used to the touchscreen controls and practice your skills that way.

If you're looking to make some in-app purchases in PUBG Mobile, you can use Playstorm to earn Google Play or Apple App Store gift cards by playing free games. That way, you can get some cool new gear without having to spend your own money.
