Not sure if anyone mentioned this but you can cut out the padding next to the usb port so that your phone can make a good connection with your phone case on. I have a Z Fold 4 and stock case that wouldnt work with this controller, and also the Gamesir X2, but after removing the rubber padding by slicing a line down the corner with an exacto knife, it fits perfectly. I refused to have to remove my phone case every time I wanted to play games. 3:34
That’s exactly what I needed to hear! I find myself not using it very often, just simply because of having to remove the phone case. But I will definitely be doing this!
I think the G8 is definitely worth considering then! Like I mentioned in the video it's not perfect for giant hands, but it's just ergonomically comfortable overall! And you're right, I butchered the pronunciation of it :/ I wish YT would allow me to edit that one word and record audio over it, lol
Great video, I love your short format for product reviews! If that was like 10% larger it would be a no-brainer for me, I really want that style to fit my iPad Mini. I have a PS Portal I rarely use and you you were local I would totally loan it to you for reviewing.
I actually just got one earlier this week and will be reviewing it! But I appreciate that you would be willing to do that. And yes, the size on the G8 would be SO much nicer if it were larger, and handheld gaming on an iPad would be a dream come true. It’s better than holding the phone by itself, but with super big hands I’m always onboard for larger peripherals!
as for passthrough charge, they mentioned in the official site that not all phones compatible with it I'm unlucky enough that my phone doesn't support passthrough charge. Nevertheless it's a great controller.
Great video pal I have only really started gaming on my phone and am looking to get a controller for it but am unsure weather to pick up the backbone or this what do you think
So while I don’t have experience with the Backbone specifically, I have to say that this G8 really is quite fantastic. It was kind of tough to review because I try to find at least SOMETHING to improve, but this controller really does everything quite well. And the biggest thing for me is how durable the material is. It really feels like an actual controller. So personally, I definitely recommend the G8, but again I’ve only played with it specifically!
@@freakytechreviews Hey Lex! I second this, but I feel like at this point the Backbone led the way, but is now in catch up mode. Which isn't uncommon for being innovative in a space, others catch up and surpass you. This one will have better controls than the backbone and the backbone is a bit more. If you rely on the software of your controllers, the Backbone does work with iOS 13.4 and up, but if you're mostly plug and play this seems to be better. I'm going to reach out to them and see if I can test as well!! Great Review Brother!!
Ja niestety musiałem swój GameSir-G8 Galileo zwrócić bo nie był w pełni kompatybilny z moim smarfonem Poco X6 Pro który nie chciał sie ładować podczas jego użytkowania
I personally love the sticks. Hall effects are always welcome in my studio, but they. just feel like actual controller joysticks. I'm testing the Playstation Portal right now for an upcoming video, and the sticks on the G8 are better than the Portal's in my opinion.

Been using this for several months with my Fold 5. Pairing these with my Buds 2 Pro, it is the best mobile gaming experience by FAR
I love this thing, the mode selector and that usb c was such a feature you never think would exist.
I completely agree. I really don’t think there’s that much more you could do to make it any better.
Especially the g touch feature, that's a extremely fantastic and very much needed feature.
The Hall effect joysticks alone are enough to choose this controller.

That’s a pretty solid controller. Looks better than most on the market
I use a razer kishi, but it will start to be rough on my large hands after awhile. I might need to look into this one. Also, GAL-il-AY-oh.

@@freakytechreviewshappens 😅 awesome video though!

U can mod the Controller easily to fit Ur iPad. There are yt Visa about that. Ist rlly simple

Great review. I may get this in lieu of the portal! Thanks for all the info
Thank you for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you my friend!
Galeeleeoh was a great man.
lol I absolutely butchered the pronunciation of his name

Question! Is it good for Poco X3 Pro? Dimensions: 170X77X10 mm

Przykro mi to słyszeć. To świetny produkt i myślałem, że będzie działać z większością urządzeń. Jeśli znajdziesz coś, co działa lepiej, daj mi znać!
Can I play PUBG Mobile on it with my 15pro max phone?
That mannequin behind you kind of freaks me out
That's my boy Michael Myers! He's been in almost every video I've ever created on YT. His bark is a lot worse than his bite!
I can't help but laugh anytime I hear you pronounce Galileo. Does nobody remember history class? Gal-i-lay-oh
How good are the sticks. These controllers always have crappy sticks and it's useless for fps shooters

@@freakytechreviews that's very good information. Im really considering buying one now. Thank you for your response. Sub
