I returned my razer kishi ultra twice due to receiving messed up thumbsticks that stuck and grinded horribly. For $150, i just couldn't justify that, to be honest, so i tried again.... and after receiving another messed up one, same dang thumbstick, i give up. After a bunch of research, ive come to find this guy, the abxylute s9!!! I'm going to give this one a try, ive heard some great things. It's sad because honestly, the razer kishi ultra is absolutely a beast of a controller man. Just my experience has been horrible, and for 150 thats crazy. So hope this one is better.
Being that I can't really justify buying a dedicated hand held retro console for the amount that I'd actually use it, along with the fact that I've not seen one that ticks all the boxes for my requirements, I too have been using an xbox controller with a clip for the last few months. My phone is just a mid-range Android but it's been more than capable at running everything that I've wanted at both impressive frame rates and resolutions. As you pointed out, the only issue is the weight distribution, which has caused a couple of 'moments' in the past. So it's good to see more competition in the market for alternative controllers. Great video mate, keep it up!
Can you actually launch a game without pressing the screen as with the Backbone app? Not that the Backbone app is great since it lacks the option to create your own favorites list and you cannot remove all the promoted app/genre banners in the homescreen. With the Razer Nexus app you can create your own collections of game but still have to press the screen to launch a game.
I'm kind of disappointed that the week of gaming on a phone video was a review of the Abxylute S9 instead. I guess for once I should have believed the title of a UA-cam video.

Yeah, the price of this definitely makes it a big selling point!

Gamesir G8 Galileo or G8 Plus are the best most comfortable controllers for phones and tablets available
For now, we have to wait until the S9 hit the market to see.

I think the only way this works is a separate phone and possibly a smaller form factor.
Unless you're not planning on taking it everywhere.
I've always kept my ipega in the glove box

Don't worry I'm planning a month long gaming on a phone in the near future ;)
