Hello. I'm having trouble connecting the device to my phone (iPhone 15 pro max) so I can't use the controller. Can you make a video about the setup? Sometimes the LED indicator turns red, I could not find what these colors mean. It was working when I first connected the device. but now it doesn't interact with my phone, the buttons are some kinda dysfunctional. Lights are white, I can walk, jump, throw Granade but I can’t shoot with any button for example. Please take a video about it. I buy it long time ago and I still can’t use.
I wish someone would make a remote control that allows you to use all of your fingers. Not just thumbs and index ones. That would be a remote controller that would match with regular keyboards.
this has 2 buttons behind the controller and thats the highest possible limit of controllers. beyond that, your just looking for a keyboard and mouse setup
Yes it does! You can use the octopus application (or the premium one) , with it you can play every game that doesn’t has a controller support. Hope that helps!
cases generally arent gunna work because the usb-c plug isnt long enough (thats what she said). You going to have to carve out a notch with an exacto knife or get a very slim silicon case to make it fit
This might be a dumb question, but I don’t trust myself with my own research sometimes 😂 This will work with all iPhone 16 phones right? Like it’s also big nuff for a 16 Pro Max?
What’s going on with the gamsir app? Reviews across iOS and android are hating on it. Is this controller still useful without the app? The backbone app with the g8 controller looks the ideal combo.
I just hate that controllers won't work wired even through a hub! There's no good reason Apple refuses to support wired mode with controllers on iPad! Mac does, and I literally have the "same" chipset: an M1 iPad Pro. ENOUGH forcing mobile to be 2nd-class citizens just to differentiate their pricier products!
yeh i hate all the stupid "walled garden" they do, im a adult, paid over $2,000 for this ipad pro. just rediculous, oh and pay us another $100 to side load stuff. @@philodygmn
@@JerrySchulze I like 8BitDo Pro 2 very much, because of its customizability and multi platform support, apart from the fact, that it is a really good controller. You can even replace the battery.
I have a 15 plus with a Miracase. I just got this today and the only way I got it to work was cut the rubber pads by the usb c to allow more clearance and take the back half of my phone case off. Other than that it is an awesome controller! I had a backbone for my iPhone 13 for a few years and it died out. This thing feels so much better in hand. Feels premium for sure! May try to find a smaller case to for it. For now at lease the top half of my phone is protected lol.
I had to cut the rubber on both sides to get mine to slightly work. I have a 15 pro max with a Miracase. I have to take the back of the case off but at least the front is protected
Dang why did I just find out about this. I literally just bought a backbone off of OfferUp. It’s ok but doesn’t feel like a console control. This looks much better
@@123fourfivesix-g4ibro get the GameSir G8 plus it’s new, works with basically any device that fits (iphone, android, Switch) and fits with phone cases and for the price it’s best controller on the market
Great review and please correct me if I am wrong but I think the travel on a controller like Xbox is patented and they can't copy the layout perfect for button placement.
Have you tried using it with a ipad or ipad mini? I wonder if it would fit the ipad mini. Been looking for one of these controllers for the ipad mini 6, but all of them either don't work properly or just don't fit. Or in the case of the backbone one. You first need to tinker a lot.
May have to look into one of these. My backbone is faulty after 2 years. It keeps taking snapshots and thinking it’s headphones plugged in and mutes my games. Thanks for the review!
Hey, someone who actually owns both the Gamevice Flex and the G8! Been scouring the entire internet for any comparison between the two and yours is the only one I have seen. I've been looking for the perfect phone controller setup for the last year and a half, but I almost exclusively play emulated retro games so I'm primarily concerned with the comfort of using the DPad and buttons for long play sessions and not too fussed about the sticks. Could you let me know your thoughts on how reachable/comfortable the DPad is to use on the G8 vs. the Gamevice Flex. Is it possible to use the DPad on either without feeling like you're uncomfortably stretching your thumb down to reach it? If it's not too much to ask, would you be able to measure the distance from the bottom left corner/point of the left grip to the center of the DPad for both the G8 and Gamevice Flex? Ideally I desperately want one of these phone attachment controllers that has the DPad in the primary position above the analogue stick, but I'm fairly certain such a thing does not currently exist.
Man, I was ready to buy it right after the video ended but once you said I’d have to take my case off and on every time I wanted to use the thing I was immediately out. Shame, otherwise it looks to be exactly what I was looking for. Bummer.
@@JerrySchulze I worked for a shop that sold Backbone controllers, many people damage the connector in this way and their warranty claim is then rejected. It would be a shame to damage it :) But your video is great! :) so remember to always start with upper part of your phone and when it flat just slide it to the controller connector :)
As someone who’s logged over 3500 hrs in Splatoon 2 and more than 450 hrs in Splatoon 3, in handheld mode using only joycons, I won’t stand for this slander 😂
Not yet. I just bought one. It doesn’t support IPhone 13.4 and above so if your phone is current it won’t connect to PUBG or GameSir app. I’m sending mine back.
It sucks with IOS 13.4 and above. Can’t even get it to work with my IPhone 15 Pro Max to play the only game I bought it for PUBG mobile. Sending mine back to find a compatible controller.
Does this controller work on all iPhone games? Like Sonic the hedgehog, pub g mobile and call of duty mobile ? Also do you need to pay for those games or are they free?
I know because I’ve had 2. I am currently on my 3rd and I’m about to quit mobile gaming (for the most part. I still love Brotato and other touchscreen games). COD Mobile is terrible though. Too competitive and too toxic for me.
Looks really nice, but taking off my case every time I want to use it would be too much of a hassle.

Hows the deadzone on the sticks?
Please tell me how did you adjust R button sensitivity

Do I need to take my case off every time I use it?
What if I want to play other game than cod? Suppose pubg mobile? Does it support keymapping ???
Did you find this out? I have the same question specifically about pubg mobile
Yes it does!

Nice review i was really looking for a video explaining how to map the bacl buttons . +1 sub
Glad I could help
Can you also take out the button?
Only in G8 Galielo Plus
iv e got a backbone but feel its to small in my hands and struggle to use the right thumb stick. does this feel bigger better??
Way bigger. Almost Xbox size.
Friend, is it possible to configure the buttons to your liking, for example changing the X or Y for the RB and LB? haven't found anything about that
on the gamesir app u can change the buttons around
I like the snes colors

@@JerrySchulze thank youuuu! I actually grabbed one before I saw your response. 😆 I’m so glad it works with the phone! 🥹
Does this work on 14pro models too
No, USB-C only and you cant find the good Gamevice Flex for iphone 14 now.
nope you got an outdated lightning port

yup works with any usb-c phone

You don’t need the app to use it.
Is this the one for iPhone 16 too?
Can it be use with iPhone 16 pro max with case on?
Probably, the cases that fit with these controllers are so thin that they don't protect you iPhone at all.
