Thank you for showing this controller with a foldable, most people neglect the foldable audience

Since you hold it down for foldable phones, you gain my subscription! Thank you!

Shane, Buddy! The code still works! Great video. THANK YOU. SUBSCRIBED. SHARED. Keep it up. Proud of you.

Just used your code and purchased one! They were already discounted so got a double discount! Excited for this controller as I have big hands and the backbone seems uncomfortable, just like the switch joycons. Thanks for the review!

Is so hilarious to me that these sticks feels so much better than my dualsense sticks, good work G8 xd

I glad that gamesir finally made a game controller that has a headphone jack instead of relying on inferior bluetooth audio, but at least bluetooth is still optional for those that want to use bluetooth for audio. I have the regular backbone controller that I use for my sony xperia 1 iv android phone. I wish there was a way to map buttons for games for the android version of the backbone controller without paying for a subscription service just to use certain features for the game controller. Backbone is the only brand that requires a monthly subscription service just to use certain features. I used to use the moga power a pro controller but the app for the moga power a pro controller has never been updated to support the recent games and is still stuck with the older games. I really like the built in battery on the moga power a pro controller to charge my phone from the usb a port, but I wish it was a standard that all game controllers have a built in battery to charge your own phone or for playing extended game play. Having a battery built into a game controller is better than having no battery built into a game controller since it won't drain your owns phone battery compared to just using a controller that is attached to your phone or using bluetooth that has lag and more battery drain from your own phone. For example, the game pad for the moto mod for the moto z line of phones has a battery built into a game controller and the game pad is not that bulky and uses magnets. The game controllers could have the similar form factor and functionality as the moto mods and they don't have to use magnets unless they use magsafe as an optional choice but make the game controllers universal for any variety of phones even for folding phones. I have the jbl sound booster moto mod for my moto z4 and the magnets are very strong and it's very easy to use and remove since it's literally just plug and play.

looks amazing man, seeing as you are using you fold out phone, do you think it would work for a samsung tablet? can the case hold it in place like your fold out phone??

shane here's a tip for playing cod mobile without mapping bottons with any type c gamesir controller. first connect any xbox wireless controller via bluetooth to your device/smartphone. now simply place your device inside your gamesir controller start cod mobile and in the pop-up window you'll be given a choice to select what controller you are connecting (backbone-ps4-ps5-xbox wireless controller) select xbox wireless controller. now you can play cod mobile as if you are playing with a xbox controller. cod mobile only supports the four controllers i mention above. i play cod mobile with my ps4 controller or my gamesir x2 pro controller daily. i'm planning on picking up the g8 galileo tomorrow. don't forget to go into settings in cod mobile and scroll down to controller. there you will see that your controller is connected and the buttons layout.

This is a fantastic controller! Way better than the backbone. I love the Gamesir X2, however its only flaw is that it become very uncomfortable quickly. I played the Witcher 3 via PS Remote Play for about an hour on the G8, then did some GBA emulation for about another hour and was not even close to being done. It felt great! Only one minor issue...the d pad is almost directly under the left joystick. It should be a little more to right so its at a better angle. Its a small gripe, seriously. Go buy this controller today.

They need to make these controllers with the USB on the other side. I would rather have the screen be the other way.

Shane, can you show this working with a Duo1? Seems like the USB port would be in the right place.

Do they have a version with the usb port on the left side? I was planning on getting a foldable phone, and it would be much better to have the screen sticking out upwards rather than the other way around, with DS and 3DS emulation in particular

This with a foldable phone is such an experience

Christmas gift for me for my fold 5!

How is it in comparison to first party controllers. The joysticks specifically for fps games. I don’t own a Gamesir controller to compare to. Kind of an obscure choice to compare the controller your demoing to another of the same companies controllers. 🤷🏽‍♂️ or maybe in comparison to the backbone?

I have a similar one, ipega D6 it is very responsive good battery life and it is wireless

I use the Gamesir X2 (BT) with my OnePlus Open and Xreal Air, it's a fantastic setup for Cloud gaming as well as Android games that support a controller!

I have this controller and use it with my Legion Y700 2023 using the side USB port.

Good use of the phone. Haven't thought about that.

I need something that works on z fold, thats type c as well and works even with phone case.

Modded it and use it with my Samsung S9+. Absolutely EPIC! Only thing I HATE is the slickness of the face ABXY buttons. Everything else is perfect.

any vids on this combo while Parsec remote from a pc?

A KZfaqr mod this controller to fit a tablet . Took stopper to go it over the limits.

Does it work with oneplus open with the case?

Thank you, i got a z fold 5

What about the head phones if we wanna play since in codm

Any shot this would be compatible with windows laptop as a usb-c wired controller like the backbone is? Would mean I only have to carry around one controller when I travel...

Can IPad mini 6 fit and work with

Kann ich mit dem Controller auch Warzone mobile spielen auf meinem Xiaomi 14 Pro ?

It'll be nice if there's cooling pad mod since most of the games easily heats up the phone battery

Shane: Can I leave the foldable (Duo 1 here) in the controller and easily use the Duo for other non-gaming apps without taking it apart? Since my Duo is basically a second device can I use my Microsoft pencil and run Excel, KZfaq, Mail, Messages, etc etc?

Does it work with iPad mini 6

I wish they made foldable specific controllers where the screen is on the top side instead. They could solve this by making the USB-C port on the left side instead. So like a reverse version instead.

how does it work with PS remote play

I really like my Gamesir X2 and ive used it with my Duo 1 and my Pixel Fold. I would really like to upgrade to the newer joystix and more ergonomic grips but I think for folding phones the Type C needs to be on the left side. Having the phone hang down instead of up feels off and very uncomfortable.

Realy love this controller design, but for me biggest flaw for this controller dont have vibration/rumble support...

I need to get this instead of the Kishi. I’d love to play Halo mobile but the mobile controllers broke it for me. This and remote play seems like an instant win

Down facing screen is a deal breaker for me I'd much rather the screen be going upwards than down

Hmm one question. On the Website it said, compatible with most phones with a case of 1mm or less. Even normal cases has more than a millimeter. This confuses me. I have a slightly thicker sillocon case. Almost 2 mm, but it's also not the biggest phone. But because the case i am kinda scared, if it still fits. Because the rate and the port itself. Can someone tell me, if it fits with a bigger case? Btw, i own the Samsung Galaxy A34 5g. (Great Phone for that price i may add..... don't wonder. It's kinda new and i needed to say that just because i am kinda hyped. XD)

Bought the gamesir g8 because of your video. The OnePlus open does not fit well enough for me. Gunna send it back

Why not use gyroscope?

should have put usb c on the left side for foldables

I do that with my Z Fold 3 and The PS Backbone

I have flip3. Annoying part with flip3. Doesn't support dex .

Why would you buy a portal?

COD is a game that drives me nuts on controller support! How does backbone have native support for COD? Its honestly one of the reasons I go back to the backbone over gamesir controllers. Does this actually support PlayStation remote play?

Doesn't fit big phones with big cases so a no go for me. Height adjustable usb connector is a must!

Galileo? Figaro!

I'm sure there will be a bluetooth option for this. Most of the other gamesir controllers have come in both ways. Usually the first offering will be usb-c and then sometime down the line a bluetooth one will be offered. Usually by the time the bluetooth one is out the usb-c one will be discounted 20-30 dollars and the bluetooth one will launch at the same price the original launched at.

Wulff Den's long lost cousin?

Can you play ps5 on it

mine is literally almost here in 1 hour lol

You have to take the phone case off every time you use it which for me is a PITA :(

When will they make a controller with the USB c on the left side so we the people with foldable phones can use one

right stick movement is always buggy with third party controls

Are you using a randomfrankp deskpad?

Thank you for confirming that the OnePlus Open fits in the G8 Galileo. You're the ONLY creator that has answered my question about that. Unfortunately, I won't be getting it, for the simple fact that GameSir themselves didn't take the time to answer my concern. I've asked on almost a handful of their videos over the past week and a half and no one from GameSir never answered. I'm big on that. If a company themselves can't take the time and provide simple customer service, they don't deserve my money. Another awesome vid Shane!!!

3DS Emulation would be nice on that phone I bet

3ds would be awesome

I was using an xbox controller to play call of duty which was working wonderfully on my s20, its strange that this controller doesn't support it natively

Love your channel dude. But please adress it. Xbox and ps5 controllers do not work on a oneplus open. As a fellow oneplus open owner its killing me. Neither COD mobile my xbox app or ps app work with a controller. When synced it moves around like the menus but once you play a game the joysticks dont do anything. Only the buttons work. Its a major software problem atm.

Fun fact, COD Mobile does support controllers, but only official PlayStation or Xbox first party controllers.

Note to manufacturers: Simply design an Android/Iphone game controller that fits phones with their cases on, and does not have small handles....... and you will beat all the competition. Everyone will buy.

USB connector on the wrong side

If Playstation had web browsing cloud gaming. Id be so down

Input lag?

If only it had a cooling fan.

got one for 55 euro, decent deal.

Does this work with phone cases?

Since you don't have to turn the device sideways, unfortunately this won't work well with the pixel fold because the USB port when open is in the lower right hand corner of the device instead of the side 😢

Noxinput+nefarious app=hell-to-the-no

are these hall effect?

the joystick has gyro

Why you guys just dont use PS4 controller.... so much better than all of them..

Controller should be use for RPG, MMORPG and race game only .. shooting game is unsuitable

If you can't use it with a phone case on, its a no-go for me.

Starfield?? Lol god bless you

why not just play on a tablet?

✝️ Subbed! God bless in 2024! ✝️
