I just wish the type c port was on the left side like the Gamesir X2. I have a Z Fold5 and if the port is on the right my screen hangs down below the controller. When on the left, my screen is higher up. From my experience it's better for ergonomics. It's a small change that won't hurt non Fold users.
So I had the razor Kishi version two, which is a fantastic phone controller later I bought the razor phone case for the iPhone 13 for some reason the razor phone case is not compatible with the razor key controller and I have to take it off every time I use itand that is so damn annoying
@@phillipalleva-cox3903 that’s insanely dumb the razor phone case doesn’t work with the razor controller, I would imagine that would be a main reason they would make one. But I have a backbone and when I had my iPhone SE I had a slimmer case and it worked fine, but now my phone is 2 inches bigger and now won’t fit with the case.
You will have to cut off the rubber bumper on the USB-C side to fit even not that thick cases. It doesn't have detachable fittings like the Backbone v2. However, after doing this mod, it fit my case just fine and I think it's very good. The only other drawback is the clicky d-pad.
Oh my freaking god. FINALLY! A mobile controller that wont cramp my hands, has membrain like face buttons, fits phones with cases, and a 3.5mm port. The hall effects sensors are the icing on top! Sold.
I'm current using this one, replacing my Backbone One as my daily driver. Although it is a bit heavy,it is a lot more comfortable and lets me use it for remote gaming on PC and PS4 more often nicely. Love it so far
Really surprised that they were able to use hall effect sticks AND triggers. I’ve heard that a lot of companies haven’t been able to do this because the sticks and triggers are close enough together that they’re magnetic fields interfere with each other. Will be interested to see how this holds up over time.
I have a gamesir that has the xbox layout and it's phenomenal. But this one sells me just for the fact that it's SNES themed and 8bitdo esk. I'm sold on both.
It is for me. Plus it’s the most comfortable handheld I’ve ever had with the dual sense features. The inly question is if your connection is good and you can justify for the price. For me, it’s been much better than backbone and phone, iPad and controller, and steam deck(original version) and chiaki. Yep, I’ve tried them all, and I’ve finally found a handheld that’s pick up and play to comfortably play my ps5 games for a long time.
I get the feeling I am the only one with fat fingers, buttons above the joystick like this is a real pain for me and why I hardly play my Switch in portable mode.
That isnt the fault of the controller manufacturer, Sony doesnt allow third party controllers for remote play through the official app. I second PS Play.
Got mine a week ago and it's been a game changer! the only con is that it's a bit large which makes it difficult to carry around but that is not a deal breaker at all. I believe this is around $5-10 more expensive than a backbone and just blows it completely out of the water with all the features, ergonomics and even build quality. I have never been a fan of playing on a mobile device until now. my phone just became my Defacto go to for emulation.
@@EmptyZach Does the iPad Mini 6 use a Type C connector? If so, it should be compatible. You could extend the extendable part beyond its default length.
@@HappyWolf182 your right, I was referring to the black friday cyber Monday price of the backbone. At the current price its a no brainer and I think there is even a promo code floating around for the galileo now.

I can confirm you need to take your phone out of the case to play, you can barely leave the soft rubber inside these cases have. Been looking for a case i dont have o take off, too bad this video does not share info on the case, lol
If you aren't already putting together a video, you need to review the G8+ I've ordered one and it could be exactly what I've wanted for Switch for a very long time... and for mobile.
I was considering a Kishi ultimate, but after seeing some reviews kn the G8, it was a no brainer. The G8 performs great with streaming and native android gaming. The mapping is great for playing Hoyoverse games. The price point is great, i would buy it again if someone stole it
Great vid and I'm convinced. Finally gonna bite the bullet and get one of these style controller's. As of my writing this message, it's $71.99 on the site. Gonna give it a try.
I have the x2 pro and it's been solid but I just ordered this cause the grip shape seems like it'd be so much better for more competitive games like CoD and Rocket League
Nice Video..How to use in iphone 15 regular/basic ios mode please?What games compatible for Free Person Shooting Games/Fighting games/Sports Games please?
Can you use the controller with an iPhone 15 Pro Max? And can you keep your case on while using the controller? Can you use this controller without having to have your phone plugged in? Can you use it with an iPad?
From the research I've done (looking to get this controller) You can use it with iphone 15 pro max. You just gotta press some buttons to change its mode to work with it. It's a USB-C connection so I don't think it would work with ipad.
If there was an attachment for you to use this for a Nintendo switch. It would still clamp and secure the switch with out damaging either usb c port of your console and your controller grip. Or just a Nintendo version of this grip if that’s less complicated 🤣
I read some user reviews on other sites, and it seems if you have the thin Apple Silicon case, it will work fine with the 15 Pro Max, but if you have a thicker case, you might have to trim part of the rubber grips on the USB-C side.
When the 'PlayStation Portal at home' is better than the actual product, cost less, can be used outside, and it has no stick drift. Man Sony really messed up with that one huh...
After playing the playstation portal for a few days, remote play or other third party systems just feel shoddy in comparison. The portal is the clear winner
Kinda lose respect for anybody still on iPhone😅. It's like they're saying, I hate myself so I make myself pay over the odds prices for outdated tech! Years ago they were top of the line, and I was a subscriber myself, but it's been a long time since that was true and you get soooo much more on android!

The fact that you can use the controller without taking the case off your phone is really selling me

It has to be a very slim case, I have a CASETiFY impact case and it’s not a extremely thick case compared to what’s out there but it didn’t fit

The unofficial PS Play app will do the trick here. It's also superior performance-wise :)
That isnt the fault of the controller manufacturer, Sony doesnt allow third party controllers for remote play through the official app. I second PS Play.
Gonna second on using PS Play! It's so much better than the official remote play app.
I don’t see ps play app in Apple Store 🤦♂️
@@bdukes8075 It's android only sadly
Will it fit the iPad Mini 6?
I was just coming to ask this!
@@EmptyZach don’t think it does :(
Fits up to 185mm. iPad mini 6 is 195mm. So no.
I think this is the way to go for my intended usecase of ps5 remote play, rather than buying the ps portal accessory
I wonder if you can swap with standard PS sticks. I got some metal ones I'd probably try

Fit a folding phone phone??
Backbone v2 vs Galileo?
I think the best way to just get a good clip with a ps4 or xbox controller and they both work easily with most games
Great vid and I'm convinced.
Finally gonna bite the bullet and get one of these style controller's.
As of my writing this message, it's $71.99 on the site. Gonna give it a try.
They need to make a lightning version for iPhone.
Good thing I got this.. I was thinking on getting x2 pro since this was recently released I picked this instead..
I have the x2 pro and it's been solid but I just ordered this cause the grip shape seems like it'd be so much better for more competitive games like CoD and Rocket League
does gamesir x2 work with ps5 remote play bro and does this have all the support like the g8 galileo@@HappyWolf182
Nice Video..How to use in iphone 15 regular/basic ios mode please?What games compatible for Free Person Shooting Games/Fighting games/Sports Games please?
How does this work with a pop socket?
Is the button mapping available for iOS as well ??
D-pad is a bit hard and travel is short. Otherwise it is the perfect good controller for your phone.
It doesn't fit with my iphone 15 pro Torras case on it... The usb-c connector isn't long enough. They should make an adapter.
I have a Z Fold 4 with the stock case and it doesn't work without modification or simply taking off the case.
Are we able to use it as an additional controller on ps5?
Hey can I ask you question 🙋🏻♀️ they have support resdenit evil iPhone 12
like the SNES colorway
Can you use on an older iPhone if you use an adapter?
X2 was crazy, but this literally addresses every complaint I had with it. BUY IT
Hope they make a BT one like their other controller
u can pre order now
Can I wish I knew about this before I got the Backbone😅
I mean at least I got the Backbone on sale.
If they make a lightning version I’m getting this immediately
I received this controller earlier this week. I haven’t played with it too much yet but so far I’m pretty impressed
Backbone two release schedule just pushed ahead I bet.
Just wish this grip but Gamevice design. This isn't really portable like Razer Kishi v1.
wish they had lighting option
What about iPad mini? Can you check if it fit in? I guess standard iPad is out of scope.
According to the Amazon entry it fits devices between 110 and 185 mm, and my iPad mini 6 is 195mm so I think they missed a trick there.
Can you use the sticks as a mouse of any kind if u remote to a Windows system?
Is that Strawberry Soju I hear in the outtro of your video🤤
Please could you test this with an iPad mini six generation?
A huge selling factory is the case that was able to stay on while using it my biggest problem is why take my phone case off while gaming hmmmmm
Can you use the controller with an iPhone 15 Pro Max? And can you keep your case on while using the controller? Can you use this controller without having to have your phone plugged in? Can you use it with an iPad?

Streaming apps like Remote Play for Playstation or Xbox Cloud streaming

After playing the playstation portal for a few days, remote play or other third party systems just feel shoddy in comparison. The portal is the clear winner
Yet all the portal can do is stream. The phone can emulate and play cloud, much better all round
