Before proceeding with the connection operations, you need to analyze the compatibility of devices in order to determine whether your smartphone generally supports such a function. To do this, you need to download a special utility that will conduct a number of necessary analyzes.
How to connect a joystick from a PS3 to an Android smartphone
We have already figured out that a connection is possible, although not with all phones. Now consider how this is done. There are 2 ways to connect the joystick to a smartphone.
