If you\u2019ve got a game controller lying around, there\u2019s a good chance you can connect it to your Google TV or Android TV device. We\u2019ll show you how.<\/p>\n<p>Google TV and Android TV have support for many game controllers built-in. If you have a Bluetooth wireless controller, there\u2019s a good chance it will work exactly how you\u2019d expect. You can then use the controller for Android games, emulators, cloud game streaming services, or even just to navigate the smart TV interface.

You can use the controller as a remote to move around the Google TV or Android TV interface.
