Does Honkai: Star Rail have Android controller support? If you’re an avid Honkai: Star Rail player on mobile devices, you might be wondering if controller support is planned or if there’s a way to do it already. We’ll answer those questions in this guide.
- Here’s what you can do with Immersifiers, as well as how you can find them in Honkai: Star Rail
Does Honkai: Star Rail have Android controller support?
In short, yes, Honkai: Star Rail does have controller support on Android devices and other mobile devices. A setting has been added called “Switch Control Mode” which lets you switch between Controller Mode and Screen Mode on the mobile version of the game.
If you connect a controller to your device, you can head to the Switch Control Mode setting and swap over to a controller and play the game that way. This wasn’t possible when the game first launched on mobile devices, but now you can use a controller if you prefer it to the game’s standard control scheme.
For fans of playing on a controller, this should be pretty good news. It can be difficult to enjoy games like Honkai: Star Rail on-screen controls for some people, and the more options players have the better. It’s a shame this couldn’t make it into the game when it launched last April, but at least we have the option now!

Does Honkai: Star Rail have PC controller support?
What about the PC version of the game? Can you also use a controller on the PC version of Honkai: Star Rail?
Thankfully, yes you can. This has been possible ever since the game was first released on PC. All you have to do is make sure your controller is connected properly and you should be able to switch to it after starting the game.
You can obviously play on a keyboard and mouse if you prefer as well, and that will be the default option when you first load the game. Feel free to experiment with different control schemes to see which you prefer – we found playing on controller to be very smooth on PC for the most part.
