Just in case you guys were wondering the word you were looking for when talking about the buttons is tactility. That being said thank you for the review. I've started a gaming channel (not self plugging) and right now I only have my phone to make videos on so a good controller is just what I need.
My Kishi v1 had its left side fail on me, so now I'm in the market for a new one of these. My wife and I have different schedules so it's great to get the chance to stream my PC games to my phone. The Kishi v1 was great but it was always a pain to take the case on and off each time. Looking forward to getting my hands on this one soon.
This to me is the real upgrade to the Kishi v1, love how compact it folds down and how snugly the rubber bands hold the phone in without adding much weight. The rigid backed controllers lose so much of their portability due to the size.
What are your thoughts on the app launcher how does it compare to Kishi and backbone. I know one person said some menu items get hidden behind the iPhone camera pill
Everyone trust this controller!! Kishi v1 was incredible and this is a smart evolution of the design. The full size analogue sticks make this well worth the purchase if you do any gaming on your phone. Great video
We're glad to hear you also like it. We are big fans and really think it improved on everything. We appreciate you watching, and thank you for your support.
I was able to fit my S23 Ultra in this with a case on! It fits like a glove. I have a Spigen Tough Armor case on for anyone on the fence with the same phone.
Just got mines yesterday and it feels so good! Got a good 5 hours in yesterday. Felt like I was playing directly on my PS5 and the thumbsticks are A1. 100x better/comfortable than the Backbone!
We're glad to hear it and glad you're enjoying it! It really is a fantastic device. Could be our all-time favorite. Thanks for watching, and we appreciate your support.
@@hyliansaviour9420 we got ours sometime last year. Took us a lot longer than we should have to review it and get the video up. I believe we got it on Amazon. What phone do you have? It looks like there are still iPhone ones on Amazon but I’m not seeing android. amzn.to/3Kqxnco
The nice thing about Xbox accessories is that you can get them to work with other non-Xbox devices. My Street Fighter Xbox fight gamepad? Boom. Works on my PC and RetroPie. Xbox headset? Boom. Works with the PS4. Awesome video guys, glad to see ya back!
Strange request, but can you guys do a video testing every controller with COD Mobile? For some reason, Backbone appears to be the only one that COD Mobile will recognize without the need to map the screen. I was wondering if there are any others. I’m particularly interested in seeing if the Gamevice Flex or GamesirX2 Pro work without screen mapping if you have those two.
Gamesir X2 Bluetooth can do COD Mobile without a janky app or screen mapping. You can set it to connect as an Xbox controller (pink light shows instead of blue) and it works great. I've played tons of games, from COD Mobile to emulators with zero issues. I've never noticed any lag, it's never lost connection, and the battery lasts 6-8 hours. I can also keep the case on my phone. I didn't want a controller that plugs into my phone and tried a few BT controllers but kept the Gamesir X2 BT because it works every time, is comfortable (and I have to use grips on 3ds/Switch), and packs small. Underrated controller and I don't know why more people aren't playing COD on it.
@@bassamabdou7828 who knows?? It’s sad because we really liked this one. We have recently gotten the Gamesir G8 and I would say it’s just as good and possibly better in some ways.
Is the Gamevice FLEX work with emulation on Android? Can I button map? Because I play PS2 and GameCube on my phone. Just wondering how well it works. Someone recommended me this.
I feel like gamevice is listening to the complaints of people and what people want on their phones,next it would be great if the gamevice 2 would be a hybrid controller both Bluetooth and USB c plus being able to transfer data to the USB c port to add more storage with a USB flashdrive.
We have not tried it with that phone specifically. But I would assume it would work fine. We tried it with a Sony Mk4 and a one plus 9 pro both with cases on and they fit just fine!
I wish these gaming companies would consider future proofing these game pads. I own a Samsung note 4 and I also one the Razer kishi unfortunately I cant use them together without a janky 3d printedpart. do you guys have any recommendations on a game pad for the z fold 4?
Both are great really! If you already have the backbone then I’d say to stick with it. If you don’t have either yet I do think the Gaemvice is a little more comfortable.
We have done a couple but would love to do more. I’ll link the ones we have reviewed that work with tablets. FINALLY! A Mobile Controller That Works w/ Tablets! Nacon MG-X Pro th-cam.com/video/ZnQa8H5qGEw/w-d-xo.html Make Your Phone a Portable PS5 & Xbox w/ MOGA XP7-X Plus & PSPlay App! th-cam.com/video/PZpszClRS7g/w-d-xo.html
They are very different mainly because the Moga is Bluetooth only where the Gamevice is a direct usb-c (or lightning for iPhone) connection. As far as feel and use goes they both have their strong points. I think prefer the sticks of the Moga and I do like that it feels like a console controller but the Gamevice has great feeling buttons, triggers and sticks as well being very comfortable. Ultimately I personally prefer to use the Gamevice for everyday use simply because of the hard wired connection being secure (because Bluetooth can be picky) and also because it doesn’t require you to charge it like the Moga does.
I have a Kishi v1, although it works, it does not really fit my S23 Ultra, unless I pull out the rubber parts, and no way will I use it with a $1500 phone with out any protection. Does the FLEX software allow to map screen buttons, that is very easy to use? Kishi v1 does nothing like that, so it's very limited on what I can do with it and what games I can play.
Thanks for the video. I've been researching a new gamepad to replace my Razer Kishi V1, and seen lots of people recommending the Gamevice Flex gamepad. The one grip I have with my Razer Kishi V1 is the vertical placement the analog thumb stick...especially the right thumb stick.... it actually feels strenuous on my thumb and wrist when attempting to press X,Y,A,B. It even causes me to constantly have to reposition my right trigger finger. My preferred placement is that of the xbox controller. (Minimal movement of your thumb between stick and X,Y,A,B buttons) What's it like for addressing that problem, or have you never experienced it?
Hey! Guys. I really enjoyed your review on this console. I have tried backbone that support most of the game alpha9, call of duty but not the that I want to play. Now I am really tired of looking for mobile gaming console. And I did not find one. Does it support FIFA Mobile and PUBG Mobile. Your reply would help me to get one I hope. Does it’s support PUBG mobile and FIFA Mobile.
Only way this would be better is if it had the programmable back buttons like the Gamesir X2 Pro. Btw y’all should review that one next if you haven’t. Easily superior to the X3 or any other controller Gamesir has put out.
Just received a gamesir X2 pro today and everything was going great until calibration. Calibration broke the triggers... Would warn anyone purchasing the gamesir to not try to calibrate.
Hello! I'm going to buy the Gamevice Flex. It's been a while since you made this video, is there anything negative to add regarding Gamevice Flex or can I buy without worries? Thanks for the content and attention.
Not that I can think of. Adam and I still talk about how it’s probably our favorite when it comes to the these style of directly connecting controllers.
Great vid. I don't know why I had not heard about this one, but I can't find it on Amazon, at least the android version. Do you guys have any idea why?
I believe they might be struggling to keep up demand. Even our video has picked up in views recently and many others that we’ve seen seemed to really like the controller as well so they may just be out of stock. Hopefully they are back soon because I agree that this is one of the better option out right now.
Just a heads up. This controller on Android doesnt support cod mobile. I just bought one, I play cod mobile and Diablo Immortal. I ordered this as it works with a case on the phone. As soon as i got it, I set it up, tested things like charging, buying, sticks etc..... Everything worked. I played Diablo Immortal and it worked flawlessly. I then started cod mobile and to my surprise, nothing worked. Upon further research, I found out that cod mobile for iphone is the only one supported, but for Android users they get left in the cold 😔. So be aware, if you want this for cod mobile on Android, your sol. There are work arounds but that leaves you stuck to a wifi. The other work around is connect a xbox controller via Bluetooth and you can then use the gamevice flex and everything works, but niether of these is an option. Firstly having to be around a wifi connection all the time kinda defeats the purpose and meaning of "mobile" gaming. Secondly if I have to use a xbox controller why in the hell wouldn't I just use the xbox controller to begin with, instead of lugging the gamevice flex + xbox control around, seems kinda silly and stipid way of setting up things 🤦🤦. Making a bt controller inside the gamevice flex would be a MUCH better solution. I'm pretty upset and disappointed that this thing only supports 13 mobile games max, and cod mobile is not one of them I'm returning mine for a refund, as I can't see using it for one game, Diablo Immortal. I have also emailed gamevice and asked if they every plan on supporting cod mobile in the future, still have yet to hear anything from them. Anyways, this post is just a heads up for Android users, to inform that this does not support cod mobile on Android
If you are on android try and app called “Mantis Mapper” it allows you map button presses to the correct place on the screen and honestly makes it feel as though it was designed for the controller. We are actually working on a video on how to set up mantis mapper.
@@CompleteGeekTV correct, there are 2 work arounds to using this. One is enabling the bt Xbox controller via Bluetooth, once it is connected everything works on the gamevice flex just fine, but if I'm going to do that, why wouldn't I just use the Xbox controller? 🤷♀️🤦♂️ The other way is what you mentioned. There are 2 apps I found, but..... Both require to use developer with USB debugging (I'm good with this setting as I have that enabled anyways) and wireless USB debugging. The problem with using wireless USB debugging you have to be connected to a WiFi connection all the time, otherwise it doesn't work. That kinda defeats the "mobile" gaming aspect of it. I can use the Xbox controller via bt and use it anywhere I have cell service without needing any other device or other connection. So there it is, neither of these is a viable solution or work around in my eyes. One way you have to lug around 3 devices, phone, Xbox controller, and gamevice flex. Other way needs a wireless connection at all times. I honestly don't know anyone that would be happy with either of these.
@@CompleteGeekTV yeah it works fine. I tried it, didn't find anything that didn't work, all buttons etc worked just like the Xbox controller. I just can't see having to lugg around the Xbox controller just for the gamevice flex to work, just more to carry around, which is why I bought the gamevice to begin with, for less to carry around
@@ZekeBarzahd with some apps maybe. We have been using PS Play for years with no issues. We made a review of the app a couple years back and the developer ended up contacting us after to thank us and let a test some new features he was working on.
ปีที่แล้ว
@@CompleteGeekTVdo you guys know how to buy it now?
Looks like a good device. But whats a better buy, telescoping control or a universal control? I would like to use it for android gaming, and maybe switch to pc or switch.
Yeah, that's a very fair point and definitely something to consider. We will discuss that in our comparison as a talking point. Thanks for watching, and we appreciate your support.
We appreciate you watching dude! It's always good to hear from you and hope you're doing well. We still need to play a game together and one day maybe do a video together.
I have the Kishi 1. I removed its spacers and my phone, with its case, fits perfectly. Love my Kishi, works great. Would've bought this one instead if I knew about it, though
@@vrajeshpokhrel8386 FIFA Mobile doesn't support controllers, but that's easily fixed using Mantis Gamepad Pro, it allows you to play games that natively don't support controllers
Just had to return my gamesir x2 pro Xbox after less than a week because the connector goes too far in to connect. I'm gonna buy it again because I loved it but the GAMEVICE is my next purchase for sure
That's a pretty harder choice. I think we would probably pick the Gamevice Flex but we definitely think the XP7-X is fantastic. There are pros to both and they are two of our favorites. It comes down to fit, portability, and direct connection for us. Both have great controls. It really is a hard choice for us. We will be doing some in depth videos covering this more to help buyers.
We bought our son the Backbone for his iPhone and he loves ❤️ it. He uses it mainly for playing Call of Duty. Wish I would have seen this review before buying it. Didn'tsee the GameVise at the time. Anyway, great review boys. Happy to see you guys again and Happy New Year to you both!! 😊 #NoSlacking23
The backbone is still an awesome device. I don’t think you should worry about it. At this point it’s all just preference as they pretty much all work equally well.
Not natively there is an app called Mantip mapper pro that makes third party devices like this work. It takes a little bit of setting up though. We’re actually thinking about making a video on it!
Probably not in the same category but, the Gamesir X2 pro works perfectly with most cases. Of curse, you're limited to android devices... Greatest gamepad I've ever used.
I’d put them in the same category! We’ve actually reviewed the Gamesir X2 as well and really liked it! There is even an iPhone version for Gamesir x2 now as well so these two devices are pretty even in that regard. I do think the Gamevice Flex is a little more comfortable feeling to play with but it’s not something I would say makes it necessary to get if you already have the Gamesir! The Gamesir is a great controller
Just received a gamesir X2 pro today and everything was going great until calibration. Calibration broke the triggers... Would warn anyone purchasing the gamesir to not try to calibrate.
We think they are better. They feel less cheap with better tension/travel. They basically improved on everything from the Kishi. The buttons are probably the most similar but they are less mushy. They did a fantastic job with this device
@@CompleteGeekTV I was referring to the USB-C in port. Would connecting a USBC cable from a tablet to the in port on the controller work? BTW, this would be a helpful feature to test on android controllers in the future because this feature allows people to use the controller on other android devices like tablets (or even on Windows PCs theoretically) when not using it with their phones. Thanks for the quick reply!
We actually use to have the red magic 6 pro but don’t anymore. Unless they’ve made it drastically larger with 8 I don’t see why it wouldn’t fit just fine! There is A LOT of room for cases with the gamevice flex.
We will say that this is definitely bigger than the Kishi and has handles where the Kishi doesn't. It probably would have been good for us to show side by sides, but we find this much more comfortable
It's exactly the controller I expected from Razor for version 2, the same form factor as version 1 but with a jack and the possibility of using large smartphones with their cases, but they released a copy carbon of the Backbone 🤦🏽♂️, (I wonder why Backbone didn't sue them for plagiarism🤔).
Yeah, we agree. They even updated the form factor to a little larger, so we think it feels better in the hands. Really, everything feels slightly better all around. We're very happy with it.
Regardless of whether Gamevice Flex the best mobile game controller in the market, your review is definitely the best of all in TH-cam. Awesome work!! And I am really looking forward your detailed comparison video, it would be so cool if you can do the D-pad comparison between Kishi V1 and Flex. I actually own a Kishi V1 and I love it, I even stuffed a pcb teared from a USB dongle in to the grip to to make it capable with 3.5mm headphone jack. So the only pain point of my Kishi V1 is simply the spongy D-pad, please please do the comparison in your next video, then I can see if it's worthy for a 100 bucks upgrade.
Thanks so much! We will definitely compare the D-Pads in our next video. It’s hard to say whether it’s worth the price for a new mobile controller these days since they are all pretty similar. Although we do think the gamevice flex is the first one to warrant the upgrade in the past year.
That’s a tough question! I (Jordan) personally like the simplicity of the gamevice flex since it’s either USB or Lightning port powered. I’m not a fan of setting up Bluetooth if I can avoid it because anything wireless has the potential to disconnect or not connect properly. But I do think the Nacon is a little more comfortable overall. I guess I would pick the gamevice if I’m using a phone but if my plan was to use either a folding phone or a tablet then I would pick the Nacon since the gamevice won’t fit a tablet.
I’m not sure as we haven’t tried that. I would think that would depend more on the phone and the retroarch app. Do you know if RetroArch works with any other 3rd party mobile controllers? If so then this should work as well since all of the ones we’ve tried seem to be equally compatible with the same apps and programs.
A quick search on google shows a few people using the iOS version of the gamevice working with RetroArch. So if you have an iPhone it should be fine. It may work with android as well I just didn’t see any confirmed posts about it. It also looks as though others are getting the Razer Kishi on android to work with RetroArch so I would assume this would as well. But if you want to play it safe the Kishi is still a fine controller. We think this is a little more comfortable feeling but they work the same overall.
PSA for S22 Ultra owners: The ONLY Otterbox case that will work on the FLEX is the Symmetry case.
😭

One is enabling the bt Xbox controller via Bluetooth, once it is connected everything works on the gamevice flex just fine, but if I'm going to do that, why wouldn't I just use the Xbox controller? 🤷♀️🤦♂️
The other way is what you mentioned. There are 2 apps I found, but..... Both require to use developer with USB debugging (I'm good with this setting as I have that enabled anyways) and wireless USB debugging. The problem with using wireless USB debugging you have to be connected to a WiFi connection all the time, otherwise it doesn't work. That kinda defeats the "mobile" gaming aspect of it.
I can use the Xbox controller via bt and use it anywhere I have cell service without needing any other device or other connection.
So there it is, neither of these is a viable solution or work around in my eyes.
One way you have to lug around 3 devices, phone, Xbox controller, and gamevice flex.
Other way needs a wireless connection at all times.
I honestly don't know anyone that would be happy with either of these.
@@alpha_y2k438 I did not know about the Xbox option. I’ll have to try that sometime.
@@CompleteGeekTV yeah it works fine. I tried it, didn't find anything that didn't work, all buttons etc worked just like the Xbox controller.
I just can't see having to lugg around the Xbox controller just for the gamevice flex to work, just more to carry around, which is why I bought the gamevice to begin with, for less to carry around
Will this work with an iPhone 15 pro max?
Sucks they don't make them anymore. Also sucks the android version didn't work for PlayStation remote.
The android version does work for PlayStation if you use the PS:Play app. That’s how we do it all the time and works great!
@@CompleteGeekTV isn't it a safety issue giving some random third party developers that kind of access?
@@ZekeBarzahd with some apps maybe. We have been using PS Play for years with no issues. We made a review of the app a couple years back and the developer ended up contacting us after to thank us and let a test some new features he was working on.
@@CompleteGeekTVdo you guys know how to buy it now?
Does it support Galaxy s23 Ultra size with the case?
Do all of these work with ps remote play
Looks like a good device. But whats a better buy, telescoping control or a universal control? I would like to use it for android gaming, and maybe switch to pc or switch.
Yeah, that's a very fair point and definitely something to consider. We will discuss that in our comparison as a talking point. Thanks for watching, and we appreciate your support.
Looks really nice thanks guys!
We appreciate you watching dude! It's always good to hear from you and hope you're doing well. We still need to play a game together and one day maybe do a video together.
Can you put it on the razor
Do they work with iPad mini 6?
Does it support the galaxy fold 4
Wonder if this will fit my pixel 6 pro in its case?
any micro usb options?
I have the Kishi 1. I removed its spacers and my phone, with its case, fits perfectly. Love my Kishi, works great. Would've bought this one instead if I knew about it, though
Hey! Bro. How is your experience with Kishi 1. Does it support FIFA Mobile and PUBG
@@vrajeshpokhrel8386 FIFA Mobile doesn't support controllers, but that's easily fixed using Mantis Gamepad Pro, it allows you to play games that natively don't support controllers
Just had to return my gamesir x2 pro Xbox after less than a week because the connector goes too far in to connect. I'm gonna buy it again because I loved it but the GAMEVICE is my next purchase for sure
We think you'll be happy with it! We are very impressed all around
What is the game in 10:26?
Also good video.. ready for the comparison of the other mobile controllers!
It’s the 2020 release of Battletoads. We were playing in Xbox cloud gaming since it comes with Games Pass
@@CompleteGeekTV That sounds cool! Ima try to play it on gamepass myself!
Thanks for always replying! 👍
@asael torres Of course, and thank you for your comments. We hope you have a good weekend and we hope you know how much we appreciate your
Can this act as a controller on PC gaming?
Gamevice Flex or Moga XP7-X Plus? Which one do y'all think is better?
That's a pretty harder choice. I think we would probably pick the Gamevice Flex but we definitely think the XP7-X is fantastic. There are pros to both and they are two of our favorites. It comes down to fit, portability, and direct connection for us. Both have great controls. It really is a hard choice for us. We will be doing some in depth videos covering this more to help buyers.
Does the gameflex vice have button mapping?
No.
Does it work with PC as xbox controller ??
If samsung made a gamepad i would still have it after 10 years

We bought our son the Backbone for his iPhone and he loves ❤️ it. He uses it mainly for playing Call of Duty. Wish I would have seen this review before buying it. Didn'tsee the GameVise at the time. Anyway, great review boys. Happy to see you guys again and Happy New Year to you both!! 😊 #NoSlacking23
The backbone is still an awesome device. I don’t think you should worry about it. At this point it’s all just preference as they pretty much all work equally well.
Backbone drift are all u TH-camr promoted man fk douches
when you play cod mobile, do tey connect you to pc players and joystrick or mobile ?
@@BoyDaniel its all mobile but wen u connect w controller it says its matches u up with other players using controller
Does this work with Cod mobile on Android?
Not natively there is an app called Mantip mapper pro that makes third party devices like this work. It takes a little bit of setting up though. We’re actually thinking about making a video on it!
Probably not in the same category but, the Gamesir X2 pro works perfectly with most cases. Of curse, you're limited to android devices... Greatest gamepad I've ever used.
I’d put them in the same category! We’ve actually reviewed the Gamesir X2 as well and really liked it! There is even an iPhone version for Gamesir x2 now as well so these two devices are pretty even in that regard. I do think the Gamevice Flex is a little more comfortable feeling to play with but it’s not something I would say makes it necessary to get if you already have the Gamesir! The Gamesir is a great controller
Just received a gamesir X2 pro today and everything was going great until calibration. Calibration broke the triggers... Would warn anyone purchasing the gamesir to not try to calibrate.
How do triggers compare to kishi one?
We think they are better. They feel less cheap with better tension/travel. They basically improved on everything from the Kishi. The buttons are probably the most similar but they are less mushy. They did a fantastic job with this device
Not available in europe.
does it also work in wired mode or does it have to be docked?
We have not tried but it you have a usbc extender cable it would probably work as a wired controller.
@@CompleteGeekTV I was referring to the USB-C in port. Would connecting a USBC cable from a tablet to the in port on the controller work? BTW, this would be a helpful feature to test on android controllers in the future because this feature allows people to use the controller on other android devices like tablets (or even on Windows PCs theoretically) when not using it with their phones. Thanks for the quick reply!
Dose it work wirelessly ???
Click is for noise, if you can feel it, that's tactile.
can i use this on pc?
I heard it's a good controller for competitive fighting games tournament
hopefully this will work with a redmagic 8 pro and a case, redmagic 8 pro is a very chonky phone eveen without a casee
We actually use to have the red magic 6 pro but don’t anymore. Unless they’ve made it drastically larger with 8 I don’t see why it wouldn’t fit just fine! There is A LOT of room for cases with the gamevice flex.
I just don't like the form factor of the kishi in the first place. Looks good despite though
We will say that this is definitely bigger than the Kishi and has handles where the Kishi doesn't. It probably would have been good for us to show side by sides, but we find this much more comfortable
Dude there is so much travel in those triggers do you not play FPS games?
It's exactly the controller I expected from Razor for version 2, the same form factor as version 1 but with a jack and the possibility of using large smartphones with their cases, but they released a copy carbon of the Backbone 🤦🏽♂️, (I wonder why Backbone didn't sue them for plagiarism🤔).
Yeah, we agree. They even updated the form factor to a little larger, so we think it feels better in the hands. Really, everything feels slightly better all around. We're very happy with it.
Not available in germany, bummer.
Which one best ?
It's easier for me to just remove the case than fiddling with case adaptors and straps. The inputs are good but the design is just awful.
Regardless of whether Gamevice Flex the best mobile game controller in the market, your review is definitely the best of all in TH-cam. Awesome work!!
And I am really looking forward your detailed comparison video, it would be so cool if you can do the D-pad comparison between Kishi V1 and Flex. I actually own a Kishi V1 and I love it, I even stuffed a pcb teared from a USB dongle in to the grip to to make it capable with 3.5mm headphone jack. So the only pain point of my Kishi V1 is simply the spongy D-pad, please please do the comparison in your next video, then I can see if it's worthy for a 100 bucks upgrade.
Thanks so much! We will definitely compare the D-Pads in our next video. It’s hard to say whether it’s worth the price for a new mobile controller these days since they are all pretty similar. Although we do think the gamevice flex is the first one to warrant the upgrade in the past year.
Sounds great... If only it would work on a fold 4
So true. I wish they had the top open to work with the Fold 4
great review guys, im torn between the gamevice and the Nacon MG-X pro. If portability wasn't a concern, which one would you guys go for?
That’s a tough question! I (Jordan) personally like the simplicity of the gamevice flex since it’s either USB or Lightning port powered. I’m not a fan of setting up Bluetooth if I can avoid it because anything wireless has the potential to disconnect or not connect properly. But I do think the Nacon is a little more comfortable overall. I guess I would pick the gamevice if I’m using a phone but if my plan was to use either a folding phone or a tablet then I would pick the Nacon since the gamevice won’t fit a tablet.
@@CompleteGeekTV Thanks for the reply, love the channel and vids! Gamevice here i come :)
Nacon is so bad bro so much lag delay issues not worth it
Gamevice ask money for app try-out kishi is for free but gamevice is alsof good
Any iPhone version?
Yes there is an iPhone version!

Looks like it's solid out everywhere 😢
Can RetroArch for ps1 ?
I’m not sure as we haven’t tried that. I would think that would depend more on the phone and the retroarch app. Do you know if RetroArch works with any other 3rd party mobile controllers? If so then this should work as well since all of the ones we’ve tried seem to be equally compatible with the same apps and programs.
A quick search on google shows a few people using the iOS version of the gamevice working with RetroArch. So if you have an iPhone it should be fine. It may work with android as well I just didn’t see any confirmed posts about it. It also looks as though others are getting the Razer Kishi on android to work with RetroArch so I would assume this would as well. But if you want to play it safe the Kishi is still a fine controller. We think this is a little more comfortable feeling but they work the same overall.
Yes do a live show bout it
This is the best one
im buying it just because of this review
No Bak Buttons?
The controller is absolutely excellent.
We completely agree! We are very impressed
Pls try it on rog phone 😁
If it cannot hold a Galaxy Fold, is not flexing enough.
Hahahaha!! Yeah how are they gonna call it a “flex” then!
