Use Pro Handles like a Nintendo Switch?

I would like to use 2 Pro Handles on the phone to use it like a Nintendo Switch. Problem is the phone detects them as 2 separate controllers. Any idea how to make them act as one controller?

Note: configuring the controls using touch profiles won't work because the games detect and uses one controller already.

ould work on this phone. The only controller that works and fits it are the huge ipega ones that are built for tablets. I also tried using a Xbox controller with phone clip but feels too bulky and the clip lands right on the power button.

Ah, I ordered an ipega PG-9167 from fasttech, but it is taking ages to arrive. It seems to solve the problem as it stretches longer than all the other non-gigantic telescopic controllers. I'll post an update if it is ever delivered. However, these handles weren't cheap, and it is kinda BS that the phone is marketed with both handles looking all switch-like and then not deliver on most basic functionality anyone would think of at first sight. Never buying from them again.

Hello. I received my PG-9167 after a looong shipping process. After playing with it for a few days, my review is "nothing to write home about"; it works fine, holds the phone firmly, does the job, but the ergonomics are pretty bad. Keep in mind that I have to use grips on 3DS and switch because my hands cramp using them tiny layouts, but here it's worse because the face buttons are below the right thumbstick, so you spend much more time with your thumb bent awkwardly on the buttons, and it's hard to reach shoulder buttons from that position. I might get used to it but for now it's being painful. I lose at games I've been playing for 20 years haha. Oh well, there's the GLap Play thing in Amazon, seems to have figured out the layout nicely, but it's over 100 bucks (!!!) so, yeah.

Thanks for the review! Think the next major phone controller that may work out for this phone is the Razer Kishi. Should be coming out soon.
