The newest installment in the Destiny franchise is its mobile game called Destiny: Rising, which takes place in a similar universe but with newer gameplay mechanics and characters. Players who wish to hop into the game might find playing on mobile a bit cumbersome. If you wish to know how to set up a controller or keyboard/mouse, then this guide explains how to do so.
How to Set Up Keyboard & Mouse for Destiny Rising
Before you begin, ensure that the Bluetooth option on your mobile phone is turned on, then pair it with your preferred device. To use your mouse and keyboard, turn them on and enable Bluetooth pairing for these devices. Also, ensure the Bluetooth in your phone’s settings is turned on. On Android phones, the Bluetooth option appears when you swipe down the task bar from the top or heading into Settings.
On Apple, head over to the Settings app and select the Bluetooth option to turn it on. Once the devices are discoverable on your phone’s Bluetooth list, just pair them up and start playing. For controllers, pairing steps vary by model. Follow the relevant instructions below for your device type.
