How to connect the joystick from ps4 to Android phone and others

For mobile phone users, managing games may not always be convenient. If you have a gamepad from the console, you can solve this problem by connecting the control device to the phone.

How to connect the joystick from the PS4 to the phone

If the user has the PlayStation 4 console itself, connecting the joystick from it will not be difficult. Connection is made using the Bluetooth wireless network. If you have such a function on your phone, you should do as follows:

1. Turn on the game console and connect a joystick to it.
2. Turn the Bluetooth toggle switch on the phone to the on position.
3. Run a device search in the wireless settings.
4. Find joystick and Playstation profiles and connect to them, forming a pairing.
5. As long as Bluetooth and the gamepad are turned on, it is possible to use it for games. This connection is possible to all phones that support Bluetooth.

In the absence of an attachment, stable operation is not guaranteed.

Features of connecting a joystick to an Android phone

Ways to connect the gamepad to a mobile device on the Android operating system vary depending on whether the console itself is available or not. The version of the phone software itself must be at least 4.2.

If in ps4 is available:

1. You need to download the application using Google Play, so that a function called Remote Play is available. After installing the application, a registration request will appear immediately, but you can skip it. After that, you need to turn on the console, and in the “Remote Play Connection” settings, select “Add Device”. The device on which the program is installed and enabled should appear in the list of options.
2. The code required for combining and synchronization appears on the console screen. This code must be entered in the field of the phone or tablet where the gamepad emulation program is enabled. To enter the code, you need to sequentially click “Next” and “Skip” relative to the window on which the search took place.
3. Now the phone or tablet acts as an additional monitor for the PlayStation. On it you can play all the games installed on the console using the gamepad. This option is great when there is no way to use the TV.

If the PlayStation 4 is not:

In the absence of the console itself, its role can be played by a regular computer. To connect, you need the Bluetooth function and the Sixaxis Controller program. You can download it from the Google Market. After installing and running programs on an android device, you need to download an analog of this program for a PC and register your phone in it. By connecting the joystick to the computer, it becomes possible to use it in tablet games.

How to connect to other phones

You can connect using a USB adapter and a cable that synchronizes the input from the gamepad and the USB cable. Provided that the game supports this, you can configure the control in it to the joystick buttons. Not every phone supports this move, but it's worth a try.
