Review: Great controller - This controller has been pretty great for my iPhone 15 Pro! I’ve played a few light sessions of Call of Duty Mobile, Minecraft on iPhone, and also Steam Link to stream PC games to my phone. The controller feels very nice in the hands and conforms to my iPhone very well during playthrough. Though even though this advertises it works with most cases, it does not work with my Quad Lock case for iPhone 15 Pro. It is too thick and I have to take off the case each time to play which is annoying. I’ve also used the charging port which works well for longer playtimes, even though I don’t play long. But also good so I can charge and put it down and pick it up a short time later with more charge. I haven’t done any actual tests, but the charge time does feel slower when through the controller than through just going into the iPhone. It’s not a big deal, but I wish something was mentioned about how the iPhone detects a “battery” in this controller despite there not being a battery. My iPhone (in the widget and Settings) originally reported this controller to have a 100% charge but now always says it has a 5% charge. There was no mention of this anywhere on this page or the manual but there is no battery in the controller and the iPhone is not reporting truthfully for some reason. One thing I am pleasantly surprised about that does not seem to be advertised or talked about is that this controller CAN be used externally with bigger devices. I can confirm that this DOES work with my iPad Pro 12.9” 5th gen and also works with both my Windows laptop and desktop gaming PC. Though the method used is kind of janky, it does surprisingly work and there seems to be drivers in Windows to recognize this as a controller! As you may see in my pictures, if you get a USB type C adapter with female ports on both ends and any USB type C cable capable of connecting to your iPad/Windows computer, then the iPad/Windows PC will detect it and use it as a controller without any additional software! I have legitimately used this to play Minecraft on a bigger screen on my iPad Pro as well as play some games in Steam on my Windows PCs and it all works. It is so cool. I am a bit disappointed to see that the rubber material that sits under the phone is already fading after nearly not very much use of the controller. It’s not a horrible thing I’d use to not recommend this controller, but it is disappointing to see that the cool design etched in doesn’t last too long. I was also disappointed in the available selection of magnetic faceplates at the time of writing this because I am not seeing any available or even with a “coming soon”. Not that this is a dealbreaker, again, but it’s advertised here and seems like a cool feature that isn’t being utilized at all. The price is a bit more than I was expecting, but it’s not wholly unreasonable compared to others on the market too, especially when you have others that don't have the same comfort design being much more. All in all, I’m happy with this and very glad to have it. I’m having a blast with it and recommend it!
Review: Best Mobile Controller I've Used - 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is what a telescopic controller should be...
*by C***S on April 3, 2024*

To start with I have tried a few different telescopic controllers, and have fount that this is one of the most comfortable ones I've used. When it comes to gaming, my preferred way to play is big screen TV, comfy sofa to sink into, and my XBOX series X, as I'm a casual console gamer and like to game in comfort. In addition, I have very large hands and thick fingers, so a larger controller is much more comfortable to me. However, since having a baby and the Xbox being in the room he sleeps (we share a house with family), and the only time I can game is when he's asleep, means that I can't play in my preferred way. Since discovering remote playfor my XBOX though, this has been a game changer, allowing me to game when I can. It is clearly different than my preferred way of gaming, but it's still good to have the option to play on my downtime!! With the introduction out of the way, I will get into the details. This is amazing. Period. The fact I can use a case of 1 mm thick and it still works is awesome. The fact that it's a wired connection is fast and snappy, and doesn't affect the lag like Bluetooth controllers can, and the feel is high quality. It has everything you need to play on XBOX, PlayStation and emulators, though I don't do this part, only XBOX remote play. The feel of the co roller is compact enough that it doesn't feel bulky which is a good, but a tiny bit bad which I'll explain. It does feel like a 3/4 size controller. But with me having large hands it still feel a little cramped. Mainly the location of the D-pad and the right stick. They are a little bit too close to left stick and face buttons respectively. This is a tiny issue as I mentioned, as I just work around it by shifting my grip a little. Anyone with small, medium or even slightly large hands will feel comfortable using this, for even long gaming sessions! The sticks are buttery smooth due to the anti friction rings, and the face buttons and D-pad have a weighty pressing feeling, and you know when you've pressed them with the satisfying feedback of each press. The bumpers and triggers are console quality and have a perfect resistance when pressed, and again, you know exactly when you've pressed them as they have great feedback also. There are map able buttons on the hand grips but I don't use them, but they are easy to program and change on the fly should you need to. To summarise, this is an excellent wiece of kit that will absolutely improve your mobile gaming experience ten fold, and is absolutely worth the $79.99 price tag. UPDATE: I've been using this controller for 14 months on a very regular basis, and it has been incredible for that time. The controller has held up very well, the buttons still just as responsive as the day I got it, the connection is still flawless, and feels amazing still. But the other day I came to use it and the pass through charging has stopped working. It has worked every time from day one (with dozens and dozens of times I've pass through charged my phone), but now it has finally gone to sleep. Though this is a negative, it could be the hundreds of hours I've used it that it's worn out, but I just wanted to give my long term update in case you are unlucky enough (like me) to have this happen to you and what to maybe expect after over a year of heavy use. I can still use every other aspect of the controller with no issues, just I have to think ahead about charging my phone before and after a gaming session, as the pass through has stopped working and my phone doesn't charge whilst using the controller anymore. I kept the rating at 5 stars though, as it could be an isolated issue, or a line run problem. But just in case you're a heavy user, this is something to consider, especially when traveling, where charging your phone may be more limited.
