If you’re in the market for a new gaming controller for your Android device or even your Android TV, there are several options to choose from. However if you’re a stickler for brand, then you might be interested to learn that the Razer Serval gaming controller can now be bought directly from Google Play.
For those who are unfamiliar with the Razer Serval, it was actually announced earlier this year where it was launched alongside the Razer Forge Android TV micro-console. Now what made the Serval different from other gaming controller options out there is for starters it is built by Razer, a company known for their gaming peripherals.
Secondly it also comes with a dedicated housing where you can slot in your smartphone, thus allowing you to play games with it using the controller in a more secure way. That being said, it should be pointed out that the Serval will require users to own an Android device that runs on Android 4.2 or higher, so if you’re still running some old Android smartphone that doesn’t have the update, then you’re out of luck.
In the meantime speaking of Razer, it looks like the company is stepping up in its gaming efforts as they have recently announced their plans to acquire OUYA, the company who created the Android-powered gaming console. In the meantime if you’d like to pickup the Razer Serval for yourself, hit up the Google Play Store for the details.
