RELATED: How to Choose the Perfect USB Hub for Your Needs Wired ControllersДЄlthough the USB port on the Fire TV is unfortunately hobbled at the moment (it doesnвЂ™t, for example, support mounting of USB media) itвЂ™s still useful for the purposes of this tutorial as you can plug in USB input peripherals including game controllers. Again, for emphasis, you cannot pair wired or wireless (2.4GHz) controllers with the Fire TV Stick you can only pair Bluetooth controllers. As such, weвЂ™ll go over what you need in each section.ДЄlso, if youвЂ™re here to pair a controller with your Fire TV Stick you should jump down to the last section focused on Bluetooth controllers as the lack of USB port on the Fire TV Stick precludes users from using anything but Bluetooth-based solutions. While we typically outline what you need for a tutorial first thing in the tutorial, the materials list varies based on what kind of controller(s) youвЂ™re pairing with your device. We hardly blame you if you donвЂ™t want to sink a bunch of money into buying Amazon-branded controllers when you can either reuse controllers you already have or purchase controllers that you can easily shift to a different system if youвЂ™re not particularly enamored with gaming on the Fire TV. Mobile gaming on the television set is still in its infancy (and in most instance a novelty at best if youвЂ™re limiting yourself to playing current generation Android games that have been ported to the platform youвЂ™re using as opposed to emulating older games). Forty bucks for a game controller for your streaming media box/stick is a bit steep, especially if youвЂ™re not sure if youвЂ™re even ready to commit to turning your Fire TV/Fire TV Stick into a game machine.
