GameSir G8 Galileo Type-C Mobile Gaming Controller for Android & iPhone 15 Series (USB-C), Plug and Play Gamepad with Hall Effect Joysticks/Hall…

Sehr gut durchdachtes Design, was für mich keine Wünsche offen ließ. Alle Stolpersteine die es bei der Verwendung eines solchen Controllers geben könnte scheinen bedacht und gelöst. Es macht wirklich den Eindruck, dass bei GameSir noch das Produkt im Vordergrund steht und das bestmögliche Erlebnis liefern soll.

Persönlich habe ich mich letztendlich für den GameSir X2 Pro entschieden, da mir dieser Controller optisch besser gefallen hat. Aber wer ein typisches Controller-Feeling für sein Handy möchte, dem ist der G8 Galileo wirklich zu empfehlen. Es ist mit einem On-Screen Overlay nicht zu vergleichen.

I’ve been very picky about a gaming controller for mobile gaming. One of the biggest pains was finding one that allowed a phone case!
I can’t stand accessories that don’t allow room for phone cases, and while I understand that cases come in different shapes and sizes, it’s not my thing (not being able to accommodate them).
So when I read the reviews and some saying it works with cases I tried my luck.
I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max w/UAG Monarch Kevlar case.
I tried to fit with the case on and it didn’t work, as usb-c wasn’t long enough to plug in.
I was on my way to return the controller when I decided to try it without the case on.
The controller was amazing, Hall effect joysticks is a must for me as it just means better quality and thought was put into the build. No lag obviously, and I dominate in COD Mobile and Combat Master.
Instead of returning it I decided to modify it (I liked it that much).
I cut out the rubber (as pictured) on the usb-c side and phone w/case fits perfectly. No issues with the mod, phone doesn’t slide around and I’m much happier to have this accessory allowing case support.
Just be aware some cases won’t fit as I tried my Son’s case another UAG which did not fit.

One thing I’m disappointed with is the app support for iOS. It’s non-existent, or rather there is no support for this particular model (yet). Android seems to have this available. So not sure how firmware updates will work or how to make the back triggers a shortcut unless it’s available in game?

I hope the next revision of this controller would allow a movable outward usb-c connector.

Some accessories such as the FLIR has this adjustment which you can use a wheel to slide it up and down.

Overall I’m extremely satisfied with this controller and hope that more iOS games start supporting controllers.

Já testei diversos modelos de controles para celulares, esse é disparado o melhor de todos. Ergonomia sem igual, analógicos precisos, cliques dos botões muito satisfatórios. Eu tinha um backbone one pro meu iPhone antigo, peguei um iPhone novo com usb-c e resolvi testar esse controle, foi a melhor compra que eu fiz, ele é melhor que o backbone em todos os aspectos. Qualidade de construção sólida, quem comprar não vai se arrepender. E o melhor de tudo, o preço, mais barato que os concorrentes.

TL;DR: best controller I've ever used, and it works with a thin case on Red Magic 8 Pro.

I am using the G8 with the Red Magic 8 Pro with a relatively thin case.

I've used the Backbone and Razer Kishi 1 for iPhone 13 Pro Max and GameSir X2 Bluetooth on both Android and iOS, and the GameSir G8 is, by far, my favorite mobile controller.

While it is large, it's for the better. It feels like I'm holding an Xbox or Switch Pro controller, which is far more comfortable than the previously mentioned controllers. The other remotes I've used felt like I was using a Vita, which is fine, but after getting used to the Switch, is a bit cramping.

The buttons feel right. I can't exactly explain how, but the buttons and sticks don't "feel cheap". Not overly clicky (my preference), but doesn't feel like I'm pressing into a pencil eraser. The trigger buttons (L2/R2) feel great to press, but kinda wish there was a little more resistance. May be cuz I'm used to Haptic Feedback from the ps5, but it's not a huge negative (I wouldn't even consider it a negative).

The GameSir app seems iffy to me. Don't know why it needs certain permissions (like Location), but I only plan to use it for the button mapping for games like Genshin Impact. The Red Magic 8 Pro button mapping is serviceable, but the camera control/mapping is jittery as hell, which makes playing Genshin Impact feel like I'm playing with mapping on. The button mapping from GameSir is amazing! Not only is the camera issue gone (if anything, it is TOO sensitive, on that later), but offers combination inputs, which Red Magic doesn't offer (that I'm aware of). I've mapped the game with near identical inputs as the ps5 version of the game, and it feels like I'm playing it with native controller support. I haven't messed with the button sensitivity features, but is available, so, my issue with "camera sensitivity" can be fixed to my liking. There's also 2 mappable buttons on the back. I don't use them, but for those that do, enjoy

Now, a major plus. IT CAN BE USED WITH A CASE ON!!!! I hate having to remove my phone case, and always get paranoid about dropping my phone while trying to connect the phone with a mobile controller with a connector. When I first attached the phone with the G8, it didn't get recognized, and took the case off. After a few hours of testing, setting up, and playing with the controller, I decided to try with the case again. Didn't work. Then, I get it a small "squeeze" (just enough to make sure it connects), AND IT WORKED!!!! I decided to keep playing to make sure it didn't disconnect or give me issues, AND IT DIDN'T. It plays flawlessly with my case. My case has a transparent back with a MagSafe kickstand and a black trim trim with "teeth" in the corners. The "teeth" hug around the rubber grips of the controller, making it a perfect fit.

The price may seem high, especially compared to other $40 controllers (like some GameSir sells), but trust, the extra cost is worth it. It is beyond comfortable, feels like a console controller, works with a thin case, has great button mapping from their app, the price is between the cheapest and expensive controllers, and is the best controller I've ever used. If I could rate this higher, I would.
