I have a ColorCross, but am frustrated by the lack of any means to interact with the phone. Once it is inside, it is totally sealed off from being able to touch it. Worse still, the act of placing the phone in the holder tends to activate either the power button, or the volume buttons on my Note 4.
I had a WiiMote, but it does not work with current versions of Android. So, I need to find a bluetooth game controller or mouse that will work with Android 4.4. It would need to provide the necessary operations to work with the phone and the Google Cardboard applications.
Any suggestions?

Re: Controller for Android phone, to use with VR Goggles?
Thanks for the recommendations. However when I found some more technical descriptions from another source, I saw there are two issues for the Note 4. The first one is where the site said ": The compatibility problem exist on the part of the game of Android 4.0 system." Also, it says, "The extend holder is about 7cm"- at 2 3/4" it can't hold the Note 4. Though, for this application, it may not matter.Dilip wrote:http://www.ebay.com/itm/130903356387

Prices may come down on the other ones, or perhaps I can find another similar unit.
Can you tell me, if in general, if I find a Bluetooth game controller for android phones, should I reasonably expect it to work? Or is it common for some to not work on more recent versions of Android?

Re: Controller for Android phone, to use with VR Goggles?
This the first one I purchased, for $20 USD (Including shipping)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/111257259109?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT
It does work, at least I can get a joystick mouse type movement, and clicking, which is sufficient for the VR stuff. A lot of the other issues I have is that many of the games are just not designed for game controllers.
I also purchased a $35 USD Impulse Universal Game Controller/Phone finder/ Key Finder/ Camera Trigger, but really have been disappointed with it.

While the buttons work, the documentation is very poor. And worse yet, the key finder function is so unreliable, it is almost useless. It phone app will report that it found the keys, and has sounded the alarm on it, when it has not.
