These sort of tiny game controllers are also used for shortcut macros for digital artists

It also supports a wired connection, which is nice. But apparently “Mobile” really means “Android”, at least if the manual can be trusted.
If anyone’s curious, a while a go I looked for controllers that support Mac, i[Pad]OS, Switch, Android and Windows, and all I found was these two:
- 8BitDo SN30 Pro, also compatible with Steam Deck
- 8BitDoPro 2
Both are larger than those tiny controllers, but SN30 Pro is small enough that I sometimes sneak it into my travel pack for business trips when the kids aren’t looking. They they perform exceptionally well, and having controllers that work with everything reduces a lot of clutter.
This one is the 8bitdo Micro, a curiosity, because it supports iOS in keyboard mode only, but not as a controller. So you can’t use that for gaming on an iPad, but you can use it for macros.
I know that because I almost bought that one.
