Diablo Immortal: Controller support at a glance

Which controller can I use? Before the release, Blizzard published a list of which controllers officially work with mobile devices. Depending on whether you are using an Apple device with iOS or a cell phone with Android, other controllers are supported.

What do I have to consider if I want to buy a new controller? Note that some controllers come with both Bluetooth and wired devices that connect directly via USB-C or Lightning (iOS). Latency is lower with wired controllers. You can also find the best gaming controllers for Android and iOS in our buying guide on MeinMMO.

In the next section we will explain how to connect your controller to your mobile phone.

How to connect your controller to your phone

Which controller do you want to use? Once you have decided on a controller, consider how the controller wants to connect. Some controllers like the Razer Kishi connect directly to your phone via a USB-C port and therefore do not require Bluetooth.

In the best case, you don’t have to do much more here, because normally a directly connected controller should be recognized.

How do I use a bluetooth controller? If you want to use your PlayStation or Xbox controller on your cell phone, for example, you have to do a little more setup.

  • First you activate Bluetooth on your cell phone so that you can connect your cell phone at all.
  • Then you activate the pairing mode on your controller. On the PS4 and PS5 controller, hold down the PS and Share buttons at the same time. On the Xbox controller, press and hold the Xbox button until it flashes.
  • The next step is to open the Blutooth menu on your cell phone. All devices that you can connect (pair) with your cell phone are also offered here. Select the device and your phone will ask you if you want to connect the controller.

Normally, that’s it and you don’t have to do anything else. If you have the game open, you should now be able to navigate through the game with your controller. Controller controls are officially supported in Diablo Immortal, so you don’t have to do anything else.

You shouldn’t do this: By the way, you should not use any mapping tools. Mapping tools are mostly third-party apps that allow you to assign in-game functions to specific buttons on the controller, although this is not officially intended. However, many games and developers see this as cheating, especially when there are opportunities for PvP. In the worst case, your account will be banned.

This is how you connect your controller to the PC

On the PC you have four options for connecting your controller:

  • You can use a regular USB cable.
  • You can use Bluetooth. Your computer must either support Bluetooth or you have an adapter.
  • Another alternative are controllers that come with their own radio adapter.
  • As a last resort, you can connect the controller to the PC with an Xbox Wireless Adapter. But this only works with the official Xbox controller and here you need the appropriate adapter, which costs around 20 euros.

This is how you connect a controller to the PC via Bluetooth: If you have a motherboard with Bluetooth support or a Bluetooth adapter, then you have to do the following:

  • In Windows you open the settings and look for the item “Devices”.
  • In this menu you select “Add Bluetooth or another device”, in the new menu you select “Bluetooth”.
  • Now you have to put your controller into pairing mode. In the best case, the controller will now be displayed under Windows as “Wireless Controller”. Press it to connect it. If Windows asks for a PIN, it is normally “0000”.

How to connect a controller on PC to Xbox Wireless: If you want to connect an Xbox controller to your PC via Xbox Wireless, then proceed as follows:

  • First, connect the Xbox Wireless Adapter to your PC. In the best case, you don’t have to do anything else here.
  • The next step is to turn on your Xbox controller and hold down the Xbox button. The button will now start flashing. When the button is solid, the controller is connected.
