@NewbieTetris 2 жыл бұрын

IMO, this controller is not that good at its price. The only reason people buy this controller is for eggns. The buttons are just a basic tactile buttons, including the R,L,ZR,ZL buttons. Analog sticks are quite okay, just like the xbox controller clones have. Nothing fancy on this controller despite the fact it is priced around 50-60 usd. Better get a diff controller that also supports usb c

@@dannyd4339 I was saying I like the controller, but EggNS kinda sucks. Controversy aside, EggNS is buggy and it's emulation accuracy is poor. I'm not judging anyone. People are free to do what they want. I'm saying they will probably be let down by Egg NS.

@assassinhidblade5147 2 жыл бұрын

@@dannyd4339 What. I love this controller but you cannot ignore the problem with Eggns, which is stealing codes from a well known emulator and then try to make money from it, Eggns also is forcing you to use this controller and wont work with ant others. Its leaves a bad mark on emulation, and their practice is far worst than Nintendo shutting down eshops. There a lot of bad with vibes the emulator that its too long to list here. If your still getting the contoller for EggNs, you can do it if you want, Sujano isn't saying your a POS if your using it. His just criticising what's EggNs been doing. Kinda like the samw debacle with Epic Game store and its annoying exclusive.

@assassinhidblade5147 2 жыл бұрын

@@dannyd4339 You can if you don't credit them and then use it for your own profit. Its shaddy as heck. Youre really asking for it so here some stuff. 1)You need an account to use it 2) Eggns is locked to only the gamesir x2 3) You can only use it while online and NEEDS to be online all the time 4) It require permission that no other emulation needs like location, acess for contacts and etc 5) Its like DamonPs2, where that emu chargw you by coin, this charge you by knowing your information and forcing you to but a controller. Another clarification, even tho they took code from Yuzu, the dev from yuzu have say they dont mind if they making money from it, but what they don't like is how they breaking license agreement and use their code without making it public.

I got this one when the Razer Kishi didn't fit my RedMagic. I hadn't heard of EggNS at the time, so I kind of regret it in that sense, but it was an awesome controller for my winter holidays vacation, I played a lot of emulated beat'em ups with it. I especially liked it in with the flycast core with the super-widescreen hack in RetroArch. It also worked well with Lemuroid, MAME4droid (0.139u1), DuckStation, AetherSX2, and Dolphin - Gamecube.

Great video, I been looking at this controller I primarily want to play dolphin emulator and Sega Dreamcast emulator along with some Android mobile games which do you prefer the Bluetooth version or the type-c version also did you have any issues using the emulators

@srvuk 2 жыл бұрын

A better review, although no mention of whether the triggers are analogue. It is overpriced, like many controllers and the comments regarding the longer term build quality make the expense even more precarious. It only really has the Razer Kishi as competition, so more manufacturers should come in to provide some decent lower priced options with the same functionality/quality. I would also rather have a combined Bluetooth and USB-C device and see no reason why this could not happen. I do like the moveable USB-C connector which will reduce the possibility of damage and the case is a nice touch. I am glad that you were honest about your pros and cons and not seeking to frame downsides like too many other tech reviewers in order that they don't upset their hardware providers. Bottom line is that Gamesir really need to do more to make it worth the price or reduce the price in the first place. And I have never heard accessories pronounced in that way lol

@BillBill_86 2 жыл бұрын

Triggers aren't analog. So for games like Mario Sunshine, you have to use a fork of dolphin emulator for the special threshold R trigger.

I used this controller last night and I can't get back to my regular phone, the game screen from the controller is always one, how do I get out of it? Also, the buttons don't work on every game as it didn't work on Octopath Traveler, which I found out last night. I still had to swipe on the screen and use the screen buttons for this game, but first thing is to get out of the controller's page and back to my normal phone windows.

I got mine a little over a week ago and my right analog is drifting to the left and completely unresponsive when moved to the right. I've always put it back in the case after use and kept it in there especially when traveling. I will say I'm not 100% disappointed with it because it worked right out the box and I used it everyday since i got it. Mine could've very well been defective or I may have damaged it somehow without knowing. But I'm sending mine back for a refund and trying the razer kishi. I don't know if anyone else had a similar issue with this controller, just sharing my personal experience.

I tried with my Note10+ and Fold4 that are both in case.. nooope USB-C connector was not long enough! thats kind of pain in the butt that im having to remove case especially from fold4. its case has tiny double-sided tapes, and by removing multiple times it probably wont stick to the phone any more. and after the 2nd attempt, usb-c on the controller got loose. is it supposed to be loose ? i didnt even check that.
