If you’re like most people, you probably use your TV for watching TV shows and movies, checking the news, or browsing the internet. But what about gaming? You can use your TV to play games, of course, but it can be a bit tricky to set up. In this article, we’ll show you how to pair a game controller to Google TV or Android TV so you can start gaming right away. First things first: if you’re using a Google TV or Android TV box, make sure that it has an input jack for game controllers. If not, you can buy an adapter like this one from Amazon. Once your controller is plugged in and working, open up the Google Play Store on your device and search for “game controller.” You’ll see a list of games that support game controllers. Tap on one of them and then follow the on-screen instructions to connect your controller. Once your controller is connected, you’re ready to start playing! Just press the buttons on your controller corresponding to the buttons on the screen and enjoy yourself! ..
Google TV and Android TV have support for many game controllers built-in. If you have a Bluetooth wireless controller, there’s a good chance it will work exactly how you’d expect. You can then use the controller for Android games, emulators, cloud game streaming services, or even just to navigate the smart TV interface. Let’s get started.

You can go back to the previous screen and you’ll see the controller listed.
That’s it! You can use the controller as a remote to move around the Google TV or Android TV interface. You may have to set up the controller in certain games to get it to work correctly, but many controllers are natively supported and will work with no extra configuration.
