confirmed not detectable with Xperia Ultra Z on lollipop. tried all moles (a,b and x) wouldn’t even show up on available devices. read quite a few threads too. tested it on a 9023. too bad. would have been great if their programmers are good. went back to ps3 wireless atleast that works both great on the phone and my macbook pro rigat out of the box, no fiddling needed.

that controller sux balls. it pairs up fine to my note 2 but the buttons are all wrong. in stead of left and right trigger being fire buttons it wants to use select and start. this makes the controller dumb and ineffective to use in a game. I can not seem to figure out how to move these button around and I’m about to smash this controller.
