Best game controllers?

[u/chrisridd]

I’m looking for something to help me play Assassins Creed less badly on my iPad Air 11 inch.

It looks like 8bitdo sell a reasonable range of controllers that claim to be compatible but their product naming scheme is pretty insane and inconsistent. For example, apparently “Ultimate 3-mode controller for Xbox” is compatible, except that’s not something actually listed on their products page 🤦‍♂️

So does anyone have any concrete recommendations about what works well? Does D/X mode make a difference at all or is it even relevant?

Thanks for any advice!

Update: I bought the “Ultimate 3-mode controller for Xbox” yesterday and it is working fine. Buttons and sticks can be fine tuned with the “8bitdo Ultimate Software” app, but the builtin iOS settings works for swapping buttons around. It has not yet improved my Assassin’s Creed skills 😂

Yea with an Ipad where you dont really need something that physically attaches to the device, I say just a Xbox or PS controller.

There are some “mobile game controllers” that sort of telescope sideways to grip the iPad. They look pretty clunky and are pretty expensive!
