It's no secret I'm not a phone gamer but remotely streaming my Xbox Series X, PS5 or Steam library to my phone? That's something I can get behind!

This controller has hall effect sensing joysticks, hall effect analogue triggers, replaceable thumb stick caps, a decent D-pad, 2 programmable back paddles, turbo, hair trigger mode, PlayStation mode, Xbox/Controller mode, Touch screen mode, adjustable volume via button combos, a USB-C passthrough port, a 3.5mm headphone jack and more!

Keep in mind steaming single player games on phone is much much much more stable than online game streaming

I have had the G8 for a month and I love it! Been playing a lot of NDS and PSP emulation. BTW, for those that want another color, check the Nubia Blade 2. It's basically a G8 but rebranded for Nubia and it comes in transparent black!

That's awesome! Totally forgot to mention emulation, this must be a beast for that! Damn, a transparent black would be dope too!

If you are willing to spend an afternoon setting things up (and there are good guides out there) you can turn any phone into a real good emulator machine. With a controller this good attached to it, you will be able to really enjoy some retro games. High end phones have OLED screens and the such. My Note 9 with a Gamesir G8 attached is the best GBA emulation machine I have. But seriously, gamesir, PLEASE make a joycon replacement.

@128KB 6 ай бұрын

Really good point, can't believe I forgot to mention emulation! Yeah, imagine a Joy-Con alternative like this by them!

@hiepbenh88 6 ай бұрын

People pay so much moneys for retro device but for god they are so bad compare to phone and this controller. I can buy k60 used for like 240$ and about 60$ for this new g8 ( i live in vn right under china so ... ) With 300$ compare to base odin 2, only chip and battery is abit weaker, every thing ele is much better, screen is 3x better ( u can play android game with 120fps if game support, i'm playing t3 arena 120fps on android root when my ipad mini 6 cant, it's so much smoother than 60fps ), controller is better, u got mobile signal if u want, much esier to find and repair...

Great review 👌🏻 This looks awesome. Strong contender vs. the Backbone controller. I've seen in a previous comment you don't have a Backbone, but definitely going to look into the pros and cons of these different types. Also seen a comment about your finger. Ouch dude! Sounds bad 😮 Hope it heals super quick for you 🤞🏼

@128KB 6 ай бұрын

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the vide :) you're right, haven't got a backbone but if we source one I'd be up for doing a comparison! This one is really good though tbh. Thanks, frustrating it's my finger I've broken, can't hold controllers properly and editing these videos takes even longer lol!

Here we go again with one of your videos making me want to upgrade. I've had the Gamesir X2 Pro for a little more than a year now. It's not the most comfortable but was the best at the time at it's price point. Unfortunately they don't have hall effect sticks so I'll eventually upgrade when they start to drift. I'm not a phone gamer at all, but have been ever since I was introduced to Stadia then Geforce Now. As a soon to be parent, I've shifted over to switch/phone gaming and left my PC to simply be for work.

@128KB 6 ай бұрын

Firstly, sorry! 🤣 Secondly, congratulations on being a parent soon!! Yeah I totally get you, since getting our puppy I just work on my pc and mainly play switch/steam deck, even using Xbox etc way more as it's just easier! I could definitely get used to playing using my phone with one of these if I was travelling light since I always have my phone with me!

@SpiffReese 5 ай бұрын

The GS X2 Pro way too small but this looks a lot bigger and normal controller size buttons. Swap stick is a plus and the PS Mode is clutch! Should be able to play CoD mobile now.

@SpiffReese 5 ай бұрын

@128KB I have a phone specifically for gaming so I don't have to use my main phone. I use "Console Launcher" app to make it feel more official handheld like. You can ad your own background + add apps to home screen navigate almost any app with just the controller, minimal touch screen.

So I have a Backbone v2, mostly because I have some emulators on my S21 Ultra. It works well for that particular use case, but I don't use it very often. I like the Galileo quite a bit, but they need to make a v2 themselves that, like the Backbone, makes it so you don't have to remove your case. I'd also like to see some different colorways. The American version of the SNES colors are fine, but I really love the Super Famicom "skittles" colors - or perhaps the Playstation layout, or hell even the Dreamcast colors would be cool - anything really. The Backbone v2 also has a little carry case which makes it ultra portable. I just toss my in my bag and, with my phone, I always have a PS2 and below library of games with me.

@dgripper05 5 ай бұрын

You don’t have to remove your case with the backbone? I honestly want a v3 backbone with better ergos control wise. The thumbsticks are so tiny like the switch

@DanRTS Ай бұрын

Interesting product, you don't seem as excited by this one as the X2s or the X4. Why is that? I love the fact it has USB-C passthrough and Headphone port.. Still considering all 3, but trying to figure out what to go for!
