How Can I Connect a Bluetooth Controller to AetherSX2 on Android?
Quote from vagohoy on October 21, 2026, 8:12 pmHi everyone,
I recently started using AetherSX2 on my Android phone and want to improve my gaming experience with a Bluetooth controller. Playing with touchscreen controls can be uncomfortable, especially during longer gaming sessions. I’m wondering which controllers work best and whether the setup process is straightforward.
For anyone using an aethersx2 bluetooth controller android setup, could you share your experience? Do popular controllers connect automatically, or do they require manual button mapping in the emulator settings? Also, have you experienced input lag, connection drops, or compatibility issues?
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
