At the time of writing, we cannot say anything about Honkai Star Rail controller support on Android devices as we haven't checked it out, nor Hoyoverse has shared any official details on that.

Since Genshin Impact didn't have native controller support on the Android platform, there is a chance even Honkai Star Rail won't feature controller support on the said platform.

That aside, you can use third-party apps to map the on-screen buttons to your controller and play the game using a controller.
