If you have been following my articles, you might have bumped into my previous HOW-TO post about IPEGA gamepad controller setup from my another blog.
Some were able to successfully set up their IPEGA gamepad controller by installing the official “IPEGA Game Center_ENG.apk“. While some of those who tried failed.
I am not sure what and why. But there’s always this possibility that the mobile device they are pairing with the IPEGA gamepad controller isn’t compatible at all. However, my game enthusiast friend once again found a way.

You can now pair with your mobile device with IPEGA gamepad controller without installing any apps. And that’s what we will show you today.
Are you one of those young at heart and loves to play online or offline games? Games like those new Nintendo 3DS XL and Wii U games. If you are, then I am sure you will enjoy more playing games on your mobile with IPEGA gamepad controller.
Although there are other controllers like the Moga Pro Power gamepad controller I reviewed last year which I think is also cool and neat to use. In any case, there’s only one main key why I and others use a gamepad controller. And that is to have better control of the game.
Moreover, having a gamepad controller setup makes it more convenient and less intrusive. As opposed to swiping and tapping directly the screen display UI controllers. The “real-feel” isn’t just there. If you know what I mean. 🙂

So much for introduction and without further adieu, I will be letting you now check the steps below and watch the video so that you can have fun with your IPEGA game controller.
How to set up IPEGA gamepad controller without any apps
- First (and also important), you have to DELETE the installed IPEGA Game Center app from your device OR any 3rd-party gamepad controller app from your mobile to avoid any conflicts.
- Then on your IPEGA gamepad controller (PG-9025), press and hold X and HOME button simultaneously. Wait until the RED LED is blinking.
- Once the red LED is blinking, you can now pair it with your device.
That’s it! You can now test it by opening any games from your app drawer. In our video below, we will be showing you the Android game app called Beach Buggy Blitz. And in this game, you will see that we’re able to use IPEGA gamepad controller.
You can try to pair first your mobile device with IPEGA using this non-app dependent setup. But if your device can’t recognize your gamepad controller or fails to pair, then you can try using the official app I’ve mentioned above.
Now if everything fails, then check with your supplier. I am sure you don’t want to spend your precious money with a device you can’t use in the end.
Let us know if the steps above work on your IPEGA gamepad controller.

Ipega Red Knight Manual Download
- The IPega Red Knight is a fairly decent controller considering its price. The few problems I can see it having is with the back of it bending forwards or back, the D-pad having inaccurate inputs due to its buttons, and the power switch potentially breaking. All of those problems can be averted with a little extra careful with those parts. There is however another problem, the pairing is a mess. Sure it can connect pretty easily, but there are different profiles for each pairing combination. To pair the controller you have to turn it on, hold down one of its buttons/ inputs and then hold down the home (mode switcher) button for roughly two seconds. Nowhere in the manual did it say pressing a button different from A B X Y would yield a different result. I haven't tested it on ps3 or on an android phone yet. As far as I can tell the computer will recognize it as an Bluetooth input and the Wii/ Gamecube emulator 'Dolphin' will detect it but I don't know how to use it with the same ease as an Xbox controller. It says to hold down B to pair with iPhone but the method I used to get it to work with an iPhone is by using L2 as the input for pairing, then downloading Tweakbox off of safari, downloading Happy Chick off of Tweakbox, and then downloading my games through Happy Chick. Overall not a super user friendly device when it comes to setting up, however it is possible to use it to play fortnite/ pubg as well as Gameboy/ DS emulators on iphone but it may have to be through Happy Chick.
