d-pad for action buttons two triggers and two shoulder buttons so even with the smaller form factor you get all the functionality of a full-size controller the holding arm extends up to 3.7 inches enough to accommodate even larger devices like the Galaxy Note series the Mogu hero also comes with an added feature called power boost that allows you to charge your device while docked as long as the battery of the controller is above twenty-five percent now as media consumption explodes on our mobile devices you don't want to forget the very practical option of better memory cards while there
