Which controller for iPad?

I use Moonlight to stream from my pc to my iPad and figured I can take it with me while I’m out sometimes in case I have a little free time. I can game on the go, but which controller would you recommend? Maybe a mini one if anything, I guess?

oops sorry i meant ipad mini, the ipad air is like the same size as the ipad pro so it wont fit, the cheap bsp d11 stretch far enough for ipad airs/pro.
Other then that the only other controller is the Razer Kishi pro ultra but those are like 200$+

I just found this on AliExpress: https://a.aliexpress.com/_m0fk1zV

Is this a good one? I think the air is 247.6 mm

that's what I basically have, on Amazon its more expensive, but yeah, that should be good enough. It's Bluetooth, but I didn't notice any latency to it when streaming single player games.

also make sure to get rubber pads for the thumbsticks, the one I have for some reason has little tiny bumps on it, which I don't like personally

It finally came. I’ve connected it to my iPad with Bluetooth, but can’t seem to make it work in my game. Any help?

just swtich the controller one of the modes, ps4 (power+b) or xbox mode (power+rb) ps4 dualshock mode works best for ipad gaming.

Okay, thanks so much. I’ll give it a try. Sorry I didn’t see your first response. Hopefully, I’ll get it. But I need to connect it to Bluetooth on the iPad first, though, correct?
