Pair any Bluetooth pad to your phone, and Controller Gateway relays it over your Wi-Fi as a standard Xbox controller — low latency, nothing to install on the Fire Stick.

Why relay through the phone

The Fire Stick's Bluetooth is the weak link.

Its controller radio is laggy and fussy — and some pads, like the PS5 DualSense, barely pair at all. Your phone's Bluetooth is fast and reliable, so we relay through it instead.

Direct Bluetooth → Fire Stick

Laggy, jittery, picky

On older sticks, button-to-screen lag climbs and wanders — and pairing modern controllers is hit-or-miss.

  • Up to ~167 ms of controller lag
  • Inconsistent — feels worse than the average
  • DualSense won't pair cleanly
Phone → Wi-Fi → Fire Stick

Fast, steady, universal

Your controller talks to the phone; the phone sends tiny UDP packets to the stick. Fast Bluetooth, quick Wi-Fi hop.

  • Roughly halved the lag on an older Fire TV Stick 4K
  • Steadier, more consistent input
  • Works with the pads the stick refuses
Set up in about a minute

Three steps to a controller that just works.

Pair to your phone

Connect your PS5, Xbox or other Bluetooth pad to your phone in the usual Android settings. Up to four at once.

Find & connect

Open Controller Gateway, tap Find, pick your Fire TV or PC, then Start. That's the whole setup.

Play

Your games see a standard Xbox controller — perfect for Moonlight, Sunshine, launchers and native games. Dim or blank the phone to save battery.

Measured, not marketing

We put it in front of a 240 fps camera.

Real button-to-screen numbers with a DualSense on 5 GHz Wi-Fi. The big win is on older Fire Sticks with weak Bluetooth — on newer ones it's comparable and steadier. We publish the method.

Direct Bluetooth~167 ms
Controller Gateway~83 ms

Fire TV Stick 4K (2018), DualSense, 5 GHz Wi-Fi, high-speed camera. Software relay adds only ~2 ms one-way (PC) / ~2.7 ms (Fire Stick). Your results vary with controller, stick model and network.

½
the controller lag

On an older Fire TV Stick 4K, relaying through the phone roughly halved button-to-screen latency — and felt noticeably more consistent.

Everything in the box

Built for couch streaming.

Any Bluetooth pad

PS5 DualSense, Xbox Wireless and most Bluetooth controllers — including the ones the Fire Stick won't pair.

Up to 4 controllers

Local co-op and party games — every pad shows up as its own player, P1 through P4.

Standard Xbox pad

Appears to your PC or Fire TV as a normal controller — Moonlight, Sunshine, launchers and games just accept it.

Rumble return

Force feedback travels back from the PC to your controller's own motors, so you actually feel the game.

Battery readout

Per-controller charge on the phone, with an optional low-battery beep so you're never caught out mid-match.

Screen-off mode

Dim or fully blank the phone during long sessions while it keeps relaying — kind to your battery and your eyes.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Do I install anything on my Fire TV Stick?
No. The full version arms the Fire Stick over ADB straight from your phone — there's nothing to sideload or leave running on the stick itself.
Which controllers work?
Most Bluetooth pads — PS5 DualSense, Xbox Wireless and more. On the receiving side it always appears as a standard Xbox controller, so games and launchers just accept it.
What's the difference between free and full?
The free Google Play version relays to a Windows PC and includes one controller (unlock up to four with an in-app purchase). The full version adds the Fire TV Stick relay, four controllers with no in-app purchases, and the advanced screen-off mode.
Is it really lower latency?
On an older Fire TV Stick 4K it roughly halved button-to-screen lag versus the stick's own Bluetooth (~83 ms vs up to ~167 ms in our 240 fps camera tests) and was steadier. On newer sticks with good Bluetooth it's comparable and more consistent. The Wi-Fi hop the app adds is only ~2 ms.
Do you collect any data?
No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Controller input stays on your local network and only goes to the receiver you run yourself. See the privacy policy.

Give your Fire Stick the controller it deserves.

Any pad, on the big screen, without the lag. Start free, or unlock the full experience for £5.99.
