I've been wanting to game from my bed for a while but Steam Link hasn't worked so great because I am currently on a completely wireless network.

But last night I stumbled across Moonlight / Sunshine streaming based on Nvidia shield and much to my surprise it worked great, even on my old android box with WiFi.

Now that is working, I tried a PS4 style controller I have with Bluetooth but the damn thing just refuses to connect to the Android box. Keeps on saying can't connect. It's a Volkano controller so I suspect my box doesn't like it so much.

Any suggestions for a replacement controller that will work with a Xiaomi mi box? Or a way to fix the connection? I've tried resetting the box and the controller.

Edit. Turns out Android 9 doesn't like PS4 controllers according to a post I found elsewhere on MYBB.

Really can't go wrong with one of those? Guess it's time to splash out.
Generally nope, they work on PC, they work on Android, they work on Xbox :-) but it has to be a newer one that has bluetooth, so basically anything from 2017 upwards should do.
Get rechargeable batteries for it.
