Welcome to GetMojo, where we do the research, so you don’t have to! In this video, we’re giving you five things that you should know about the Amazon Luna Wireless Controller.

This controller is specifically designed for Amazon’s subscription-based cloud gaming service. With dozens, if not hundreds, of great controllers already on the market, we wanted to know what this one had to offer that could make it stand out against its competition. So we did a deep dive into user reviews and product specifications to find out, and we have five things we think you ought to know.

It's Designed for Amazon's Luna Cloud Gaming

First, the Luna Wireless Controller provides much more than some off-brand product to hook up to your console or PC. As mentioned, it is designed specifically for playing on Luna, Amazon’s subscription-based cloud gaming service, which offers a rotating selection of games. The controller connects directly to Luna via wi-fi, whether you are playing on your PC, Kindle Fire, or Apple or Android devices, to reduce latency between pressing a button and seeing the action in-game.


You Can Game On Your Phone

Next, if you have access to the Luna cloud gaming service already, using the Luna Wireless Controller means that you don’t have to use your fingers and touchscreen to play your game. The controller’s Wi-Fi connection means that even on a small phone screen, you have precise control over your aim and your character’s movements. Amazon also created a phone clip specially designed for the Luna controller so you can keep your phone stable while you game on the go.


You Can Switch Screens Effortlessly

The controller’s direct connection with the Luna cloud also allows you to seamlessly switch screens whenever you need to. Say you’re playing on your tablet and you decide you want to pause and switch to playing on your PC. The Luna wireless controller doesn’t need to be unpaired from one device and then paired with the new one. It just needs a Wi-Fi connection to the cloud service and you are good to pick up right where you left off.


You Can Launch Games With Alexa

Because the Luna Wireless Controller is an Amazon product, it can connect with Alexa devices in your home to streamline your gaming session when it is connected to a Fire TV or Fire Tablet. A built-in microphone in the controller lets you issue commands for Alexa to do things like dim the lights so you can see the screen better, turn up the volume, or even tell it which game you want to launch.


You Can Keep Gaming for Hours

Finally, you should consider buying the Luna Wireless Controller because it is comfortable and can keep you gaming for hours. The grips are designed for comfort, and the joysticks are slightly offset to fit your thumb better. If the game you want to play isn’t available on the Luna cloud gaming service, the Luna controller can still connect to your PC via Bluetooth or a USB-C cable so you can keep playing the way you want to.

So, do you think you will buy the Luna Wireless Controller? If so, what game do you plan on playing first?
