Take a hair dryer to remove the centerpiece and all the sticky stuff will stay on the center piece that you remove to stick it back on . Then you gently take the controller apart but don't pull it all the way apart and you do not have to remove the electrical ribbon . Raise the gray bottom part up just a little bit and take some wire cutters and cut the stopper off. You can do it in less than 3 mins . That's all I did. I love it and it works great.

How did you exactly cut the stopper off? The same was as seen in this video, or did you cut it in a particular way? I'm about to start with the mod, but don't wanna remove the ribbon cable.

Why rip off the cover at all? I just took a screwdriver and carefully began to press the elastic, and as soon as I felt the cavity, I pierced and unscrewed these screws. I pulled them out. I wiped it with alcohol and removed the glue from the slot of the screws. After I cut off the pins with plastic cutters (small cutters for plastic or copper wires), I put everything back together. I inserted the screws into inconspicuous holes in the rubber gasket and screwed it back. Now everything looks very neat.

I just did this for my iPad mini. Some things to note: * You can cut a slit in the middle of the rubber in the top middle and just peel it back to expose that one screw; it will "self heal" and you likely won't see the cut once it's stuck back down * I just peeled the rubber up from the top left and bottom right corners; again, it sticks back down without any extra glue or issue * You do not need to disconnect the ribbon cable * The bottom plastic shell really does come off easily; even a bank/credit card could probably do this, but don't use one you care about * The two halves of the controller are not separated (no springs showing) with the iPad mini installed * It works flawlessly with GeForce Now (except for not having the correct resolution in most games but 🤷🏻‍♂)

I literally returned my portal for this gem! 😛😋

Great effort, hope gamesir release a bigger version to fit tablets they're onto a big winner here.

Cheers. I just done mine. I had already shaved the rubber down near the USB bit to allow it to hold my Fold 5 with it's slim pen case, and now I can fit in my Tab S9 ultra that I just go today. It's massive! I just had a quick game of Zen Pinball with it! Great easy mod. I didn't have any problems lifting the backing off, and it seems to stick back down ok. I also didn't remove the ribbon cable, I just carefully rotated the bottom part out just enough to do the carpentry. The spring is super strong when you get to 14.6" size!

I work as a production technician (a fancy way of saying that I work at an assembly line) and I work a lot with a scalpel when checking parts for any defects that need to be removed. A lot of that is done under the microscope and it's kinda difficult to pay attention to where the scalpel goes after I remove some material. I have to say, I had my butt clenched when you were operating that scalpel towards yourself as I know all too well what it's like to be cut with a fresh scalpel blade :O happened to me once and since then I developed a muscle memory not to move the blade towards anywhere where my hand is :D P.S. I think you could print a telescopic extension to the railing part and make it expand even more and still clip on to the second half where you removed the stand offs. You'd have to print it at highest infill possible though so that it's properly rigid.

Just got my Samsung Tab S9 and this will be perfect for it. I know I already got the Odin 2 but sometimes I just want to play my games on a bigger screen.

I finally did it. If you have a really sharp & thin knife, you can cut the things without opening it. Just extend the controller and you'll see it. However, my knife is not sharp enough so I followed the video. It's relatively easy and no risk. The rubber pad can stick back easily so no need to worry about damaging it. This finally fits my iPad mini 6. The controller is a joy to play with.

I bought an iPlay 50 Mini Pro after seeing this video and made a 3D Printed adapter. The iPlay 50 Mini Pro does not charge with the G8 attached. It is also not great at streaming from PC. H264 and HEVC decode alone takes at best 25ms at FullHD in Moonlight. Parsec needs the G8 to be in HID mode to support the analog triggers and shows faster decode latency than Moonlight but it's in fact even laggier. An 7 year old Snapdragon 835 is factor 3 faster at streaming.

Hey, this is totally awesome! I had already ordered the G8 before I discovered your video, but when I watched this I went and ordered the pro tablet and a ps portal case that's not molded inside so should fit this awesone setup. Just a couple of queries, 1) could you just use a small flat head screwdriver to pierce the rubber once you know where the screws are? In theory, the rubber you pierced would just close again after, just leaving a slit in the rubber that wouldn't be very noticeable when you're done. Could use neodymium magnet to find screws (or your vid😜) And 2) if only doing the iplay 50 mini pro, and I don't care about the larger tablets, could I cut off only like 66% of each post and maybe glue some of the off cuts into the hollow of the remaining 33% of each post for strength? Would that give me enough clearance for the 8" tablet but still stop at the end instead of exposing the springs? What do you think? That's what I'm going to try anyway. If it doesn't work I can still cut the rest off, but interested in your opinion. Thank you for your content, it's amazing! Update - on rewatching I see that 2) is already answered. No. I see now that when you turn it around the rails are well beyond where the posts would be. If you ever did work out a 3D print mod to keep it in place, I'd love the file.

Got mine and right away did this. But instead of knifing it, i just used a strong grit sandpaper.

This is definitely the hard way to mod this. And for removing the tabs use wire cutters for one snip removal for each tab. Also screw & rubber mat removal isn’t necessary.

Hi! I'm also looking to build DIY PS Portal. If I'll use it mainly for that, will the iplay 50 mini lite be able to handle it well? Thanks and super awesome mod! ❤

I really dig the mod, but I feel like I'd need a backplate for peace of mind. Thinking I'll probably return my G8 and stick with my Switch for now and buy a steam deck if I run out of games to play on that.

Im wanting this controller. I didnt even know controllers existed for phones until a few weeks ago. But i found the controller that you are playing with after i bought two. I deffinitly am getting this one next pay day just because its a headphone jack and you can charge only the phone and the controller doesnt have to be charged. Im using the one i got for my husband because the other controller i didnt like so much it was from the same brand and looked like the old nintendo controllers. But my husband and i like playing all kinds of games and im a huge minecraft player and i have it on my phone now. I dont think ill do this hack just because im only playing emulators and such on my phone. Im a nervious travler so having something like this on planes and long car rides and camping trips will be a gsme changer for stress. As a kid i always use to watch tv to help with my motion sickness because it distracted my mind and it was something familiar. Its amazing to me how far gaming systems have come even just from 10 years ago. When the first portable playstation with a tv screen came out everyone was like WHAT? And you didnt need to attach it to a tv. It was genious. Now its all on our phones and we have the internet as well. Its deffinitly impressive.

I almost never take my phone case off, so if they designed it a little better to fit a phone case that would be appreciated. Also would be cool if it stretched far enough to fit an iPad without having to mod it.

This is why i won't be getting the G8 as i was planning on putting on a 10 inch tablet. I hope they make one specifically for bigger tablets. I'd probably end up waiting for the BSP-D9 controller which looks the same as a PSportal but can accommodate larger tablets. But anyways this is a nice mod.
