    the fact you can fit the switch module inside it and use it as a better controller than the joycons in addition to being able to use this with your phone does make this thing seem like an interesting option vs all the usb/lighting controllers that are out there

      You know why Nitendo didn't make a switch joycon pro? Cause Nintendo support 3rd party accessories. Nintendo makes a market for 3rd party so that they can make their own and price on their own.

    Holy shit the G8+ with the grey Galileo face plates looks awesome, I'm really glad you did this in the video. That's what I'm going to do when I get the Plus, the Galileo is incredible but it gets annoying having to take the case from my phone every time I want to use it. Only downgrade is the lack of headphone jack in this one.

    Awesome controller. I just can’t justify spending the extra money since I already have the G8 USB C. It still works great!

    • @volcalstone
      @volcalstone 5 місяців тому

      Having USB-C is nice for devices like these but at the same time it makes it's more restrictive at the same time. I had the USB-C one but returned it as it just doesn't fit all my needs. My foldable phone is the main reason why I want this controller so having it on the right side isn't ideal for me. I could charge my phone a lot faster with the G8+ as well since it doesn't need to get pass through the controller. Also this G8+ is a lot better on tablets cause it comes pre-modded already. 😊

If the charging port is on the bottom left in landscape mode then I would use a right angled adapter or wire to charge it. I too have the Z Fold 6 and it's perfectly fine.

    I recently for this controller and I like it for the most part. It would've been perfect if it had HD rumble for the Switch. The only problem while using the Switch tho is that when using the D-pad I be hitting the capture button more than I want. It's so close by and I wish there was more space around the D-pad. I play a lot of fighting games.
    I like that this controller already come pre-modded for larger devices like a 11" tablet or so. I mainly got this for my foldable phones. I'm glad I waited for this and returned my Galileo G8.

      Yeah you could and I just it today to test it out. There is a breakaway plastic piece in the front over the rubber mat. This is why it's a different color or pattern due to this. Use some force and just pull it back a little. Then pull the other part of the controller out slowly. Once it's out place that breakaway piece back again to level it. I would recommend using a small piece of soft material to place in the back of your tablet on the left side so it could be more stable. You will know what I mean by this once you do it. I wonder if we could get something 3D printed for this.

      With foldables you could charge your phone if you are placing it in the correct way. With the charging port on the upper right or lower right. As for slab phones you could always get a flat right angled adapter and charge your phone. It's not ideal and it won't be as stable. Pick your poison I guess or just get the G8 instead. To me the G8+ is way better device for my needs.
