A game controller can provide input to a video game (e.g., to control an object or character in the video game) and, optionally, to interact with a graphical user interface (e.g., to select the video game and/or perform other functions). The game controller can be connected with a mobile computing device, such as a mobile phone, and the game can be played locally on the mobile computing device or remotely via the mobile computing device. In one embodiment discussed herein, a platform-customized mobile game controller is provided. In another embodiment discussed herein, a mobile game controller and method are provided for connecting to a wireless audio device.
