To what extent does Call of Duty Mobile support the use of controllers?
Overview of Limited Controller Support and Customization Options
As of November 2019, Call of Duty Mobile offered restricted controller support on both iOS and Android platforms. At present, the game is compatible with only two controllers, however, these controllers can only be used during multiplayer or battle royale matches.
You will still need to use your phone to navigate through the in-game menu, which can be frustrating at first. However, you'll quickly become accustomed to switching between using the controller and your phone during matches and menu navigation.
Although button mappings cannot be adjusted at present, players can customize sensitivity settings for each game type individually in the game's settings. Furthermore, the game's developers have pledged to enhance the controller support of Call of Duty Mobile in the coming days.

Is it against the rules to use a controller while playing Call of Duty Mobile, and could it result in a ban?
Clarification on Controller Use and Matchmaking
The use of a controller is permitted by the developer, and there is no risk of being banned for using one. Nonetheless, the game will exclusively pair you with players who are also using a controller.
This may slightly lengthen matchmaking times, and you may find yourself competing against more skilled opponents.
It is worth noting that using a controller is frequently prohibited in other mobile games, such as PUBG Mobile, making Call of Duty Mobile a great option for those who prefer a controller.
