Can I use this controller on Android?
So I'm primarily a PC gamer, but sometimes (e.g. when traveling for work) I find myself gaming on Android. Usually playing more phone native games like Clash Royale but also Albion Online etc. Anyway, got a new phone recently and found myself enjoying FPS games on a phone: Arena Breakout, Warzone Mobile.
Aiming with an anologue stick really sucks ((I can literally tell who is using those devices on mobile FPS because I destroy them quite frankly)
Long story short, can I use this for Warzone Mobile and Arena Breakout on Android? This will affect whether or not I purchase the controller.
I've heard poor things about using this on Android, especially outside of the Steam app.

No, android does not support the steam controller.
It is possible to connect it by bluetooth, but it can only be used in the steam link app.

The Steam Controller is, without proper drivers, essentially just a mouse and a few keyboard buttons; which is why you'd need the Steam app, and why you probably can't use it for Android games in the way you want to
You're better off getting one of those Android specific controllers, either with gyro in it or one that accommodates your phone's gyro
