    Great review, I was looking forward to a good video about this controller and you dived into what I needed to know about this affordable controller. Would be amazing to see a review in the future for an actually good touchscreen portable monitor I think it will be really handy for some android desktop users looking for something like that.

      I think there is a general consensus on this opinion, it's something unspoken that everyone knows and wants, but no one seems to do it... more so if it's deep enough to fit phones with large camera modules... why not consider this and then they're shaping or cutting parts of the device to make it fit properly... it's sad.

      I have to chime in on this one, honestly I thank viewers because throttling was simply not an issue in quite some time but I game mostly from a 22c degree environment. I'll try to bring temperature more in my conversations so that hopefully, more brands pick up the information that there is a large demand for coolers in controllers!

    Just got this last week, been playing wuthering waves, warzone and zenless on ios. Definitely worth it for graphic-heavy games, the cooler keeps the 60fps stable for me. Haven’t tried playing racing games like grid but I bet its not quite good cause LT and RT buttons have no range of motion but its perfect for action/rpg games.

      Well there you go! Yeah the cooler did work well, even more so considering the price point. My conclusion is that it performs as well as other more expensive cooling controllers, this one just takes a bit more time for the cooling to set but once it does, it doesn't seem any less good than controllers with 4 times the price. Not too shabby!

    Keep the good work man ! I just returned the Easysmx m05 due to a bad D-Pad. I tried both similar controllers, X2s and M05, neither passed my intense fighting test which is fast paced combos. I guess for Street Fighter 2 is ok, but not suitable for Marvel vs Capcom 2, King of Fighters or DragonBall Fighterz which require fast D-Pad response. X2s had a really un-ergonomic D-pad because it has really sharp edges around the pad... it hurts man. And the small buttons also kinda hurt the other thumb. I also tried the G8 and even it's not the best d-pad out there, at least it works right for the aforementioned games. My personal problem with the G8 is the size, is a chunky boy not exactly made for jacket's pockets but you need a backpack or something like a messengers bag. On the other hand I know why you gave a S ranking to the M05, way better face buttons, bigger and nicer than X2s', better sticks, and also better D-pad too, but the diagonals man... you can easily make wrong diagonals with that d-pad. Otherwise, great controller for everything else, not just so for heavier fighting games.
    What other small compact telescopic controllers are out there? Why not making a video about small telescopic controllers (if there are) ? Thanks man, nice video as usual.
    Edit: Are you in touch with Gamesir? after so many revisions to the X2 model, why they haven't released a controller with the same shell, but D-pad oriented (and better dpad than their current models) with the dpad on top just like a Playstation controller?. ✌🙂

    • @GameTechTalk
      @GameTechTalk  2 місяці тому

      You might be pleasantly shocked with the JK02 for real. It's not the fastest d-pad but that can be addressed with skills, the foundations are good. With that said, I think the champ in d-pad remains the Abxylute S9 and the D8 Pro is also quite up there!
      I am in touch with GameSir but I don't have that kind of relationship "yet?" where they openly ask for feedback on products. I know they watch my reviews so hopefully they take what they think is valuable out of it but I've been calling them out on D-pads for a while now and they seem very adamant on the styles they adopt hehehe! 😅
      Orientation is something I'm not sure they would do in the telescopic space. It's definitely a company that seems to have more the "modern" approach in their design language. Not bad per say but I don't think they have the more "traditional" or "retro" bone.
      Edit: Thanks for the kind words!!

    This was a chill review of a controller that's a stone cold value. I like the cooler and how the plate is spring loaded to guarantee contact. I wish it used its own battery to power the cooler; but, it's a sub $20 controller. I need to ice my expectations a bit. What it offers appears to be amazing for the price.
    Off topic question: Have you ever tested the Mocute 060 Bluetooth telescopic controller?
    The reason I'm asking is because the other night Stubbs from RH put out a Powkiddy roundup video where he talked about every Powkiddy handheld of 2024. One of them had dual symmetrical sticks up. It was otherwise solidly meh; but, I thought the stick placement would make it perfect for racing games that used both sticks for analog inputs. I tried researching telescoping controllers with that WiiU inspired layout and I could only find just the one, the Mocute 060. It's an older controller - something like three years old at this point - and is probably wholly outclassed by literally everything in 2024. I'm just curious if the layout itself has merit.

    Hi, the video was interesting. It would be interesting if you made a video with telescopic controller with integrated coolers, but considering whether or not they have space for phones with large camera modules (taking into account how big they are, with measurements included). I see that many make reviews, but nobody or few talk about this topic... much less talk about precise measurements, because nowadays more and more phones are coming out with this type of large camera modules. It could even be considered if these phones reach with or without a case on these controls.

    • @GameTechTalk
      @GameTechTalk  2 місяці тому

      The challenge with this very situation is that a lot of the phones with particularly large camera modules haven't been available in North America for quite some time, Huawei, Xiaomi. When talking about iPhone, Samsung and Pixel phones, they will all fit without issue because the portion that slides open is deeper for the camera bumps, but how deep that goes, quite frankly, it's a very particular measurement to take. I can't promise that'll be a thing on every video.

It's hard to make up my mind because it's got the makings of an amazing product but some of its quirks sneak up on you.

      Not the best example but, it's as if I buy a tube that costs me $10 to carry water from my faucet to a bucket. It's good quality, it does the job. But I can also cut the tips off of a 2L soft drink bottle and achieve the same work for a fraction... Suddenly, that bottle feels satisfying because you save the cost, you get the job done and even if it breaks, you always can get another bottle with very little effort.

      If you phone throttles, the JK02 should be your option. The AoBing will do little to nothing to help with throttling, those holes are not to be considered a solution to cool your phone but rather prevent it ever so slightly to not get warmer with high likeliness of having no positive impact. I hope this helps. As for comfort, the JK02 remains surprisingly good, I don't think you'd be disappointed.

      That's nice to know it's been surviving the "beat up"! It's a really capable controller this one, more than I initially thought!

    Hi how do you map the m1 and m2 buttons?

    • @GameTechTalk

      You hold one of the functions buttons, the one that looks like a little face if I recall and hold M1 or M2 for a moment until the LED comes up. When it does type the button(s) and tap the paddle again to save the inputs. Im going off the top of my head, I wont be home for a week. Hopefully that was it, cheers
