Android controller with a good d-pad?

Do any of them have a good one? None of them look all that great. Looks can be deceiving. Not many YT reviews talk about the d-pad much.

I'm talking about the ones that stretch like the razor Razer Kishi. Most of the other controllers look very cheaply made.

Would I be better off just buying a $4 DualShock 4 clip?

I've bought a couple of those stretchy phone holders a long time ago and the D-pads were crap. There are good bluetooth controllers - I use a SteelSeries for Android gaming on the TV. My friend has a Scuf controller that can connect to Android. Still, can't go wrong with a Sony controller.

I now use an XB1 controller with clip. The XB1 controller with a real D pad vs Elite concave weirdness.

PS4 clip it is then!

I have a couple of the newer XB1 controllers. Bluetooth and clicky d-pad. Everyone keeps telling me how awesome the d-pad is. SmokeMonster even made a video about how much he loves them, and the series d-pad. I don't like them at all. I suppose its ok for shmups. :D

I tried for a long time to find a controller to hold my 7" Asus tablet, but those expansion controllers are the only ones, and the decent ones are not cheap.

Not sure how you're playing, but I actually prefer using a little kickstand so the XB1 controller is free. My setup below.
