Gamesir G8+, to me, is hands down the best mobile controller! I mainly use it for my Z Fold 6, and recently tested it out with my tablet and Nintendo Switch. It being Bluetooth and able to expand to the length it can is such a huge plus, in my opinion of course! With a foldable phone you don't always want a direct connection controller, for obvious orientation reasons. I notice zero input lag in every game I've played as well! Overall, it is definitely one to consider if you are interested in a mobile controller.
Gamesir G8 has one critical weakness. The hinge holding the USB C connector is a 5mm tall flimsy piece of plastic that can break any minutes, rendering it completely useless.
@@mythydamashii9978 That's exactly what I got. It seems more durable than the regular G8. But the only downside is that you can't charge it through G8 anymore. Also no earphone plug from G8.
@@ryanlee2091 Is this something that's well documented and known issue with the controller, or just your personal experiences? Because I'd rather not put up with BT latency, tbh.
@ known issue, yes. Documented, no. Personal experience, yes. I dissembled the thing trying to fix it. No luck. I threw it in garbage and got the G8 pro bluetooth and it’s awesome.
The bells and whistles on these controllers are nice, but ultimately a controller's primary purpose is to provide great controls. The Kishi Ultra is best telescopic controller despite its price. Best d-pad, full size analog sticks, great buttons and very comfortable to hold.
the majority of these controller makers don't realise is that a lot of actually have cases on our phones. I can't use my backbone because i have a sturdy case on my phone, so it doesn't connect.
Then the consumer needs to decide what works for them, I suppose, as it's not realistic to expect they'd accommodate every case on the market for any given phone.
A lot of them don’t take cases into account because of how many variations of cases there are. So yes there are case friendly ones but it all varies on what case you have.
Ahhhhyyy my man. I mentioned in a comment on the last one that you should do this yearly, and I may be a month late, but I'm here to check out your thoughts again in 2024. Keep these coming yearly to keep us updated on the best options that come and go.
The idea of Turtle Beach ATOM controller is nice but because of Bluetooth connectivity I don’t think I will get it. Hopefully they will make another version with usb-c and customizable back buttons
Thank you for the updated video. I'm getting me a S24 Ultra hopefully next paycheck. And I'm looking for a good compact gamepad that can fit in the top slot of my lunchbox so I can game during my lunches. :)
My first ever mobile controller is the Razer Kishi V1. It works amazingly and I love it, but only problem I have with it is that it's not diverse to all sizes.
ROG Tessen is my pick, the portability, innovation, build quality, and aesthetic is just way ahead. Not only that, it got RGB, rear paddles, console-grade joystick, 18W past-through charging. Best mobile controller for sure.

Hello, I have a problem connecting a gamepad to an iplay 60 mini pro tablet. After connecting the gamepad (Gamesir G8 Galileo) to the USB C port, the controls on the controller suggest that there is not enough power from the tablet for the controller to work properly - they slowly blink (the gamepad works properly with the charger connected to its port, after disconnecting it does not work again and the controls blink). The gamepad is fully functional because it works properly with the POCO X6 Pro phone and the iPad Pro tablet. The problem only occurs with the Aldocube tablet. Can I do something about it or is the tablet the culprit?

Does anyone know if there are controllers that are as wide as these that doesnt need a mobile phone in it that works for pc? My wife doesnt like the original xbox or playstation controllers as they are to narrow. She wants a controller that almost is as wide as here shoulders.
Loving your videos brother you should do a UA-cam Short of you reviewing something as The General or Colonel lol it cracks me up good to see you on here its Uncle JD here sending love from my channel JDzWORLD
I wish power a made an updated version of the power a moga pro controller with the usb c port while still retaining the internal battery to charge the device that the controller is connected to. I still have my power a moga pro controller with it's internal battery to charge my phone but it uses micro usb and power a stopped supporting the power a mobile app. The power a moga pro controller app only supports older android games and barely receive updates when the controller was being updated before the app stopped receiving updates. I had to find another 3rd party app to map the power a moga pro controller to be compatible with newer games. I even tried the panda game pad pro app to map my power a moga pro controller but the panda game pad pro app says that it bans 3rd party controllers when I tried to use the app to map buttons for my games such as call of duty mobile.
Just buy a new iPhone. I would not support lightning anymore for any new product. It just makes no sense. It's obsolete. And on a normal 2 years update cycle you would now get USB C on iPhone.
@@Theboss00077 I think you'll find there are still PLENTY of accessories available for the literal millions and millions and millions of Apple products in the world with lightning ports.
The backbone is flimsy, but you can't beat their frontend app - makes the whole process of gaming on your phone that much easier (and cooler). However, stuff all that because the Gamesir G8 looks like it was developed with big phones in mind! Despite what some others have said, I'd take a chance on it's flimsy USB-C port for the extra rigidity.
Game sir not only wouldn’t let my phone download the app so not map able so junk tech support stunk they say my android is so rare problem - not so what a non game sir controller for my android s22 I use only for fire strike fps online game designed for touchscreen so making without a freaking subscription or more $ would be great
Why do you and others don't cover the Gamesir G8+? It's consistently one of the most raved about controllers in comment sections yet it somehow gets little attention from reviewers.
@@Theboss00077 Nah, my XBox xontroller is Bluetooth on my PC or the XBox and it works fine. More and more channels are covering it now, it just took forever and a day to happen.

If you are using the controller can you charge your phone while playing games? Or you have to disconnect the controller to charge your phone ?
Also he didn’t mention the vibration motors and native switch compatibility with usb c connection and Bluetooth

G8+ is 2x better even though it's Bluetooth, it's insanely good

Does it have back buttons?
And does it have Zero input lag?

You should state which one works with a case on the phone
A lot of them don’t take cases into account because of how many variations of cases there are. So yes there are case friendly ones but it all varies on what case you have.
What a unique niche and the dad life inside of me is all for it.

Nice comparison video. I had no idea there was this many. Im just getting to this party.
Which controller is best for both ioS and Android? I don't know about games. I'm a new user.
Can you confirm if the USB can also do data? Wouldn't mind connecting it to an SD card to hold games.
ROG Tessen is my pick, the portability, innovation, build quality, and aesthetic is just way ahead. Not only that, it got RGB, rear paddles, console-grade joystick, 18W past-through charging. Best mobile controller for sure.
Does it work with iPhones? Like the 16 pro max
@ nope, it’s an Android only controller.
Are there any controllers that have silent buttons?
Thank you for reviewing.
My question is are they supporting vibration while playing games
For example in shooting games?
Is the tessen compatible with iphones?! I thought it was only for androids? Even if the iphone had usb-c can you confirm this?
I just started with Xbox elite 2 controller to Android with Android Game Development Kit , mortal combat didn’t work with controller, I’m primarily running on Android 14 on C65 phone
I plan to 3D print a holder then a custom holder for raspberry pi zero with game pad lcd screen and battery pack(s)
To me the best budget moblie controller is the gamesir T4pro plus you can use it for your pc or switch
Does all of these works with iPhones ???

what's the largest one to fit a tablet
Which one would fit my note 20 ultra. My phone big and most don't fit
I'm still using Samsung glap Play p/1 with my s24 ultra. It works with every game I've thrown at it.
No way. That's awesome
@@BooredAtWork How did you get the name Thunder E? What’s your real name, if you don’t mind me asking?
Where can I get one of these controllers to buy
Unfortunately, the SCUF nomad doesn’t support in game virtual overly :(
The Razer Kishi looks pretty good too
Does anyone know if there are controllers that are as wide as these that doesnt need a mobile phone in it that works for pc? My wife doesnt like the original xbox or playstation controllers as they are to narrow. She wants a controller that almost is as wide as here shoulders.
What app do u play the games on, or u just download them
Xbox Game Pass
What’s the best for a game like Zooba?
Love your videos bro. Can you also do the abxylute S9 controller review please 🙏🙏🙏?
If you're okay with bluetooth i would also suggest an 8bitdo controller! They work with pc/console as well.
2:30 iirc this controller, even though it’s usb type c, it only works on android devices 🤔

Anyone using gamesir g8plus for iphone 13 pro?. How is the experience ..?
I want to know the dead zone of the joystick on these controllers since it's creditors l critical for fps games
I like Gamesir's the most

@@marksapollo All of them are produced at least 1 year ago
My question is which one work with iPhone 14 to play PUBG
Why do you hate Bluetooth controllers so much?
Slight input delay, may disconnect randomly, something you have to remember to charge, no pass through charging.
Need something for the 16 pro with case on it.
Kishi Ultra without and Inserts
For me the best is rog tessen cuz is mega portable and mobile

How did Thunder E come to be your name? If it's okay with you, may I inquire what your true name is?
why? so creepy

You forgot the gamesir x4 AILERON 😉😁
First
Why do you and others don't cover the Gamesir G8+? It's consistently one of the most raved about controllers in comment sections yet it somehow gets little attention from reviewers.
Because of Bluetooth, which isn’t good and reliable for gaming.
@@Theboss00077 Nah, my XBox xontroller is Bluetooth on my PC or the XBox and it works fine. More and more channels are covering it now, it just took forever and a day to happen.
Or if you have a ps5 you can also connect it to your phone and just get a cellphone and controller mount and it'll work like a charm 🫡
