There are so many options for using a controller with your phone these days. A lot of the great ones are 3D printed prototypes at the moment. The Razer Kishi line has some of my favorite retail controllers, the latest being the Razer Kishi Ultra, which is a bit overkill...

I have a Chinese controller [BSP D9] that natively mimics the signal of PS, Xbox, and switch controllers. So, it's perfect for remote play. I recently got an Android phone [Redmagic 9 Pro] specifically for emulation with Dolphin and Yuzu. This setup allowed me to play Nintendo games for the first time, and it has been serving me great. I never take the Android phone or the mobile controller out of the house, so the bulkiness is not an issue for my use case. But in general, mobile [emu] gaming has never been better!

I got the D8 a while back and was genuinely blown away by how good it is. For sure, it does feel cheap but it works incredibly well. Hall effect joysticks and triggers in a device I paid like $18 on AliExpress is insane. I use the Gamesir G8 now, but I've been thinking of grabbing the new one they put out. The D10S with the cooling pad on the back. I almost got the D9 as well, but I personally couldn't get over how much it was trying to look like a dualsense. It felt a bit cheesy imo. Different strokes and all that, I guess. Still, BSP is absolutely killing it.

I feel like the reason you don't understand the market for that controller is because you HAVE all those other handhelds. Plenty of people have expensive and powerful phones because of carrier subsidies, but no gaming handhelds at all. In that case, it seems pretty easy to justify spending under $200 on an attachment for your phone instead of spending even more money on a handheld that will STILL be substantially less powerful than a modern top of the line smartphone. On top of that, if you're the kind of person who upgrades your phone every few years, you get to bring your controller along with you even more powerful device.

Interesting, the first half of those arguments are reasons I've seen for dedicated handhelds. Many people have cheap phones, especially younger people or they don't like smart phones or want to game without the phone temptation/interruption, and given solid emulation devices that do more than any phone under $500 are like, $150-200 let alone the more expensive ones, if you don't have a high end phone plan situation or sometimes even if you do, a cheaper android handheld makes more sense for many, or a mid range one even.

These are the reasons I like my backbone with a 15 pro: 1. Build quality issues with portable emulators (had an rg35xx and rp3+ become unusable). 2. Convenient to play games on my phone and then add a controller if I need (playing phoenix wright with touch controls then a controller for hades). 3. Light, going on a euro trip soon and a backbone controller is much lighter then a bigger emulator. 4. While I don’t use it often, having remote play for ps5 and steam is great. 5. In the future we’ll hopefully see GameCube, ps2 and more ports to ios.
@Ironically-Sarcastic 13 күн бұрын
GameCube and PS2 emulators won't be coming to the app store unfortunately, because they depend on dynamic recompilation to get any reasonable speed. The app store guidelines still specifically state that dynamic recompilation is against their terms, and that's mostly because it allows for viruses and malicious software to slip through their detection. If they allowed it, app developers could inject code that breaks all of Apple's other rules after the app had already been approved and downloaded onto people's phones.

I think there’s actually a lot of promise in this market, it’s just still so new and expensive relative to what you get. If you’re spending $800-1000+ on a powerful phone with a nice screen, and mobile gaming has got a lot of attention and development, it only makes sense to utilize it! With that said, $150 is too much for the compromises you mentioned. It still needs the one thing 99% of phones don’t have which is active cooling. Accessories exist for that purpose, but it’s still a nascent category and has its compromises, chief among which for me is that you can’t use your own case to fit the controller. To justify the hassle and bulk of carrying it around, it needs to be compatible with phones that have a normal size range of cases, provide active cooling, and at an affordable or sensible price.

I think if you're getting into peripherals with active cooling or proprietary cases with heat pipes, etc. then you're trying too hard. IMO an Android handheld gaming device like a Retroid Pocket or Ayn Odin would be a better choice for most people because it's a dedicated device built with cooling in mind, has built in controls/grips, it separates the functions of gaming/phone stuff, and generally looks cleaner, more cohesive, wholistic in design than a phone + series of peripherals.

I wish someone would make an actual controller phone case, just a case that you put around your phone and then you could just slide it out and have a controller and then slide it back in when your done. That simple. Imo bluetooth sucks I'd rather it be plugged into the USB C already and then the case have a port for USB c if you needed to charge it. I understand that might get quite bulky but personally that's what I want. I've tried using a Bluetooth Controller but there's just way too much lag it's like 1 second lag between clicks and it's awful. I wanted a Razor Kishi V1 but when I ordered it they gave me a V2 and I didn't like having to take my phone case completely off the V2 to use it so I returned it and never did manage to get a V1. I heard on V1 there was a rubber peice you could remove to use it without taking off your case and I liked how it folded up into a combat form because I found a case online for it to put it in for travelling.

The biggest barrier to mobile gaming has been software support, software support breaks frequently, especially on Android and it's difficult or impossible for older mobile games to run on modern OSes. This doesn't even get into other massive issues like the app stores, though that would be solvable on Android with a third party app store. The hardware has been here for a long time, we just need the software to settle.

I've been playing a lot more on my phone after I bought a Gamesir X2S. This combined with my Android phone was a budget solution to play emulation, some indie ports and remote play.

I think another point towards dedicated handhelds are that phone storage is just very precious. A ton of phones don't have expandable storage (i think this is abhorrent but that's another conversation) so if you download apps and games you're taking tons of space. My little RP4 pro is nice cuz I'm not wasting my phone's battery and it has its own storage so i can put all my games there. I like phone controllers but i would rather have my phone for phone stuff and my gaming handheld for gaming stuff.

As someone who previously said that "instead of buying retro handheld systems, just buy a controller for your phone because it is much more capable of emulating retro games, even ps2 levels", having bought an OG35XX changed my perspective. Having a dedicated retro handheld system is really convenient in a way that it is pocketable and can be fired up and play anytime anywhere. As an added bonus, no distractions from notifications if using phone.

You didn't mention the PlayStation Phone, the Xperia Play that released way back in 2011. It had a slide out Gamepad built into the phone, and I have waited SO LONG for companies to attempt this again. Alas, none have bothered. It would be my ideal phone, and with modern streaming apps and good emulation, now would be the perfect time to release one. The slideout gamepad case has much potential and I can't wait to see where that goes from here.

I would put up with any of the inconveniences you mentioned if it wasn't for one major problem that you seem to have overlooked: No powerful phones have expandable storage anymore. If one of these controller grips had a built in SD slot for storing roms I may not have bothered buying a Steam Deck

A phone with a controller and a Steamdeck aren't really comparable products, even if the prices overlap. They're similar but they're not really the same product class.

I would've love to have a phone controller with an MMC slot. Some alleged gaming phones still come with 128-256 gb storage. If you wanna play switch games via emulation, HOYO games, wuthering waves and AAA ports, that storage will ran out quick Then a controller with installed cooling fan. These phones can get REALLY hot. Bonus will be a controller with a power bank installed. So you can you use to use the charge separation option of your phone

Honestly i kinda found a niche with this controllers. I need a secondary controller when my friends are in my house, or i want to play with my brother or family. But I also want to play games with my Moto G200 when I just do not want to go to the pc. I bought 2 BSP-D3 that works with Bluetooth and USB-C and they are nice. Now I bought a G8 Gallileo, which doesn't have a easy way to connet to pc (is funny how the 8$ bsp-d3 has usbc for data and the 55$ not), but it sort of can via a usb female to female, then usbc to usbc. So, I think for a secondary controller that you can use in everything they are actually really nice.

I predominantly bought the Galileo G8 for two reasons: 1. Remote play for Steam and Gamepass. 2. Wasn't willing to spend more than $100 on a dedicated handheld, and below that amount, it is somewhat challenging to get Gamecube and above running. I already have a flagship phone so why not leverage it to the hilt?

@samuelpierce2.088 11 күн бұрын
For me, I think the biggest thing that currently holds back a lot of dedicated phone controllers is that you don’t have the ability to change the orientation of the screen on-the-fly. Yes, most games run in landscape mode by default. But *most* games isn’t the same as *all* games. And more importantly, it stifles the developers’ ability to take full advantage of both orientations. So maybe sometime down the line, someone should try to invent a phone controller that has a built-in swivel. That way, everyone can truly the convenience these controllers are supposed to offer with few or no compromises.

The 2nd edition Backbone for my iPhone 15 makes sense to me because I want to give mobile gaming a shot WITH a better experience for my hands. I played with the idea of a controller attachment because I have controllers laying around but having a dedicated phone controller - that also works on my PC (When you tried to connect the kishi, backbone has native support using the usb-c port at the bottom of the right side of the controller) is a more viable portable solution for travel that works better than bringing a separate controller with me. Perfect for a long trip and I have my laptop or my tablet - I can use it like any other controller and works.
