Hi TKs Tech I order mine 2 weeks ago just got my shipment on it and i'm excited to get it and try it out.

Hey there, awesome review. When will u be doing a video to test the PS Remote Play with the G8? This is the only part I would like to see before pulling the trigger to purchase one.

Hi there, my Fold 4 is in for service at the moment, and I would like to use that phone for the video so hopefully by early next week i'll have a video up. The main reason for using the fold 4 is because I will be comparing it to the PS Portal. Stay tuned!

I'm using the Psplay app with this controller (no black bars on the sides), it's great, especially with my Xperia 1V! Full recommended!!!

If they don't design these controllers to fit around a phone with case on, that's a no go in my book. Luckily the new Backbone 2nd gen fit my iPhone 15 pro max with phone case thanks to the new included adapters. My phone case was so thick, I completely removed all adapters and it fit perfect.

​@@HSGG_what case and phone?

The only thing that makes me hesitate (and the reason I bought the Gamesir X2 USB C connection one specifically) is that I have a Z Fold 5 and I 100% prefer the screen overhang to be above the controller than below. Whyyyy did they swap the side the USB C connector is on? 😭

@TKsTechCorner

8 ай бұрын

I been complaining about this for quite a few controllers, I gave up, they all seem to be fixed on having the c port on the right. But....due to the depth of the grips, on this occasion, it feels alot better. And also, its now a very close setup to the PS Portal. i'm going to be releasing a video comparing the two this week.

Either way any usb c controller will look awkward on a ZFold. Its also a very small nitch of users who have the fold. Having the usb connector in the right keeps the digital home button and swipe gestures on the right hand side which is smoother for the user than on the left. When it comes to using a fold, you're kind of out of luck with the usb connected controllers. This comes from a fold user ive had the 2, 3, 4, and how 5.

Perhaps if I keep it, then next year when the warranty expires I might do it. I also ordered a BSP D8, I will see if it's good enough, if so I will return the Gamesir G8.

for a casual light mobile gaming, do you recommend this or the gamesir x2 pro? this looks way comfortable for long gaming sessions, but the x2 pro is seems more slick and portable.

@davidgrg21, definitely the X2 Pro for portability, especially it comes with a nice quality hard case. For longer in-house gaming sessions, the G8 all the way, it's incredibly comfortable! I'm going to be on the lookout for a nice case.

@@zero2006xl I got mine yesterday. I'm not sure if I'll keep it, it's not perfect considering the price (twice a normal Xbox controller). The usb c port under the controller is only for charging, so you can't say plug the controller like you could with the Backbone One or even use a Usb c to HDMI cable to play on a larger screen. It also doesn't work with my phone case, which is pretty slim and the gamepad doesn't have any rumbling support from what I can tell (could also just be an Android issue). Considering a BSP D8 controller is less than a third of its price, I might get that instead and return the Gamesir G8. But it's very comfortable to hold and those joysticks are great!
