With the Gear VR quickly becoming one of the must have holiday gifts this season, it is imperative that users have the best accessories on hand when using it. Since the VR headset only costs $99, users can afford to spend a little more on gamepads to use along with it, and some of the best and their pros and cons are given below.

Samsung Smartphone GamePad

Users can't go wrong if they opt to use Samsung Smartphone GamePad, which may be purchased along with the VR headset. Even if users bought this particular gamepad to use with the Gear VR Innovator Edition, they will find that it is also compatible with the current Gear VR headset. More importantly, this gamepad connects via Bluetooth so gamers do not have to deal with unwieldy wires when using it.

MOGA Pro Controller

If users want a gamepad that is compatible with more devices, they can opt to get the MOGA Pro Controller. This particular offering can be used with devices running on operating systems such as Android, Windows Phone and iOS. Also, PCs running on Windows are compatible. Where this particular device falls short is that many games that run on the Gear VR do not work with the controller.

SteelSeries Stratus XL

Describing the SteelSeries Stratus XL as the best gamepad for the Gear VR, VRFocus states that its price might put some people off. Its strong points are a sturdy build, and comfortable positioning of its grips and analog sticks. Additionally, this Bluetooth gamepad is compatible with both Android devices and computers running on Windows. Gamers can even use it with iOS devices if they use an app that is available for the purpose. However, it is pretty costly, being priced at $99.99.

Gamesir G3

This particular gamepad is a good combination of nice features and an affordable price. It is also compatible with Android devices, consoles like the PlayStation 3, PCs running on Windows and iOS devices. In terms of price, it rings up to $47.99.
