Honestly forget how informative this channel is, been rewatching stuff little by little from your channel and have enjoyed what I've seen again. Much luv n keep er goin
Thank you! I’m glad to hear my content has been enjoyable and informative for you. I’m hoping to be putting out more content soon. If there is anything you want to see a video on please let me know and I will try to make it happen. Have a great day!
Love your review! It actually addresses issues like having your phone at an angle when using the Backbone One Vs not having that problem when using the Gamevice FLEX. Thanks!
How's the durability and long-term use? I do like the idea of retractable design of other controllers.I get worried with the ribbon/ loose design. The compact of it collapsed is nice. I just don't want the internals getting twisted, frayed, or ruined. If you believe the FLEX will not be a concern. I'm planning for FLEX then. I mainly wanting it for emulation and android gaming.
Honestly, I thought the same exact thing but with my experience with the retractable design like the Backbone controller for some reason those seem to break down, I have gone through two Backbone controllers and I’m currently on my third one but so far the ribbon design with the GameVice has been holding up. Now I do feel that there are some things that Backbone does slightly better on the software side of things but when it comes to their hardware, the failure rate seems to be a little bit on the high side, which is a big negative in my opinion. So I guess what I’m trying to say from this long reply is that you should have no concerns with the Flex. If anything changes and I start experiencing issues, I will definitely make an update on that.
@Blue Eyed Tech Thank you very much for such a fast and detailed reply. Sounds like I'll be happy and won't have regrets with what I want out it then. I look forward to picking the FLEX up then as soon as I can. 🙂
I spent hours going back and forth what controller to get. Originally I had the Razor Kishi. Absolutely loved it. Somehow I came across this beauty I think in a TH-cam video… add to cart - SOLD. 😂
Hi! 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.
Mine still works great. The only thing I wish was better is the GameVice app itself but when it comes to the controller itself it still works great. You should have no worries with this controller
Purchased a backbone and the left side stopped working within a month, and the customer service is trash so this may be my next alternative and the fact that it can provide my phone protection is a plus
I’m sorry to hear your issue with backbone. I had a similar issue with my backbone breaking but they sent out a replacement. Regardless the backbone seems to have issues with units breaking and I haven’t had any issues with the GameVice Flex yet. Definitely recommend the GameVice
I have a couple of questions, apologies if I missed them in the review: - Do you experience any wobble on the individual sides of the controller, or do the custom adaptor pieces ensure a sturdy fit? I heard that that is an issue on the Kishi v1, since it doesn't have a "backbone" between the sides for support. - Are the dpad and ABXY buttons rubber membrane or microswitch like the Kishi v2? This controller seems better than all of the competition (full-size sticks, analog triggers, 3.5 jack + charging) so I may go for it, although I do find it expensive.
I wouldn’t say there is wobble but if you bend the controller toward you there is some flex (but you would have to be trying to do that. It didn’t happen while I was playing with it). As far as the buttons go they feel like a regular controllers buttons to me and not super clicky. I hope this helps
Awesome review. I didnt see any mention on it with the different adapters but it feels like i still can't use my Fold 3 with this incredible device without a special 3D print out adapter like ive seen on another video. 😊
@blueeyedtech1234 Yes, I have. It looks a little silly to me the way the phone hangs down past what would be considered the bottom portion of the Backbone. And the weight distribution has an odd feeling to it.
@@laoguyz as far as the hanging down look Sony is going to have that same look for their upcoming handheld plus I’m sure it looks better than the tablet I used in one of my recent videos. The only thing I wish Backbone allowed was for you to keep a case on the phone while using it
This thing is out of stock or something because I can't find any available for Android. I specifically need the flex as almost all other controllers can't even play without you needing to remove your case.
Someone did say in the comments they got their phone to work with a case on a Kishi v2 but I haven’t tried this out myself so I can’t confirm from personal experience if that’s true or not
Is the Android version compatible with the ROG Phone 6? I saw that the USB C is not in the center of the ROG Phone 6 so I'm concerned. I may be returning it to the seller.
Unfortunately, from what I looked up, it seems because of the off-center USB-C port it would not fit in the GameVice flex, but it should work in the Backbone one controller and the Razer Kishi V2 for android
@@blueeyedtech1234 that’s goood I was gonna get the gamevice flex but I got the PlayStation backbone because it gets my hands perfectly! But there both great
I believe they make a version with USB-C that should work on the new iPhone 15 models. It won’t work with the version of the controller that uses the lightning connector
does anyone know how well this works with ios emulation? i just turned my old iphones into emulators and i want to play the psp games more organically/ ergonomically.
I honestly have no idea. I would think it would still work but not 100% sure. Let me see if I can find an answer to that and I will get back to you on that.
a couple different ones. mainly retoarch to play PSP PS1 and handheld games. but also Dolphinios and Play! for testing gamecube, wii and PS2. oh and Flycast for dreamcast
Oh man. Once I found out there was an iPad model I wanted to get my hands on it immediately. The ability to play games on the iPad like that would be amazing.
@@blueeyedtech1234 I think I’m gonna get the gamevice flex I got drift again and my joysticks are not working again for the 5th time I’ll get the gamevice flex I hope I won’t regret it
You don’t have to pay for anything on the device. It utilizes gaming services you already use like Xbox Game Pass. You can play all your Xbox games with Game Pass or using the remote play feature

@@DWS2020 happy to help. If you have any other questions about the controller feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer
It is exactly the same as the razor Kishi I have also there you can change the insides for phones with Cover

@@blueeyedtech1234 that’s why I checked out your review, I appreciate it and will pick up this gadget 💯
Just bought the Gamevice Flex and it works great with my IPhone 14 Pro Max in the case 👍🏻 it feels really solid once it’s all put together.
Finally, a controller that works with many cases. This is a winner.
Where’s you get it? The website I checked said said out.
@Saint300Sparta Gamevice sent me that one for review. Let me see if I can track one down for you and I will reply with a link to it if I find one.
@@blueeyedtech1234 awesome! Thank you. Looks waaaay better then the Backbone
Exactly the information I was looking for. Thanks!
Glad I could help 👍
I’m waiting for mines to be delivered as we speak! Lol

Yeah, unfortunately foldable phones can’t fit in this controller, but have you tried using something like a Backbone controller with your Fold 3?
@blueeyedtech1234 Yes, I have. It looks a little silly to me the way the phone hangs down past what would be considered the bottom portion of the Backbone. And the weight distribution has an odd feeling to it.

i'll wait till it comes down in price. That 1 month of gamepass ultimate is probably an excuse to inflate the price a bit.
I get it. $100 isn’t cheap. Whenever you pick one up you won’t be disappointed
Hey I did find a controller that looks very similar to the backbone that’s almost half the price on Amazon if your interested
@@blueeyedtech1234 i Am interested
I just use analog headphone splitters. I have a 1:2 and a 1:5 (old one from the days of road trips sharing 1 iPod 🤣).
Oh man I remember having to use a splitter back in the day. Sometimes I miss those days
Thanks for the review 👍definitely getting this controller

Found it at Best Buy. Here is the link.
www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6523803.p?skuId=6523803
Can we get an update on how it’s held up?
It has still help up nice and haven’t had any problems with it yet.
Does this thing have updates
Cause I bought one
When they were $99.00
Now my iPhone 14 Pro Max doesn’t work
With my air play with Xbox One
There isn’t any updates that I am aware of. Is it only the Xbox app that isn’t working with it or is it other apps as well?
Do I need the Gamevice app to run my games I bought thru the app store? Like GTA games, Bully, Metal Slug
You shouldn’t. I never use the app
This doesnt seem to be available to purchase anywhere. is there any other device that can work with a case? which works best with iphone 15 pro max
Someone did say in the comments they got their phone to work with a case on a Kishi v2 but I haven’t tried this out myself so I can’t confirm from personal experience if that’s true or not
@@blueeyedtech1234 ok. Thank you. Do you know where one can buy the gamevice flex? Is it no longer being produced?
I have the kishi v1, and I just don't trust the ribbon connecting both sides. It feels very flimsy.
I felt the same way but so far it has held up on the GameVice
Thanks! Do you know if we can connect a usb c to hdmi to mirror the screen wired? Thank you!
Unfortunately you can’t with this. It uses lightning not usb c
@@blueeyedtech1234 The Android version is the exact same controller but with USB-C
I had the same problem with backbone, I contacted them and they refused to change, saying I was lien. I will never buy a backbone product again.
I’m sorry to hear that. I personally liked backbone until I realized how often their product breaks
Is the Android version compatible with the ROG Phone 6? I saw that the USB C is not in the center of the ROG Phone 6 so I'm concerned. I may be returning it to the seller.
Let me look up the dimensions of the phone and I will get back to you on if it should work or not.
Unfortunately, from what I looked up, it seems because of the off-center USB-C port it would not fit in the GameVice flex, but it should work in the Backbone one controller and the Razer Kishi V2 for android
@@blueeyedtech1234 thanks for checking :)
Is it possible to use PS Remote Play with the game vice flex?
It should work with remote play
sadly gamevice doesnt work with otterbox defenders :(
Unfortunately while it will work with most cases there are some that are just too big
@@blueeyedtech1234 not even with any modifications?
Has this got Bluetooth capability??? And can you play COD Mobile with it???
It doesn’t have any Bluetooth ability. It just plugs right into your phone and it’s great with COD Mobile
How’s the dpad tho? I see a lot of people saying it’s the same as the kishi. And the backbones dpad is alot better
I personally feel the D-pad is just as good as the backbone D-pad
@@blueeyedtech1234 that’s goood I was gonna get the gamevice flex but I got the PlayStation backbone because it gets my hands perfectly! But there both great
Does this work with iphone 15 pro max?
I believe they make a version with USB-C that should work on the new iPhone 15 models. It won’t work with the version of the controller that uses the lightning connector
Where can i order one in Europe?
Its sold out everywhere 😢
Have you tried ordering directly from them?
@@blueeyedtech1234 yes...
Sorry I forgot to say that I have an Android. The iPhone version is available....
Thanks for replying
@@AlistairBremen give me some time and let me see what I can do to find an answer
@@blueeyedtech1234 thank you Sir
Regards from Germany
@@AlistairBremen right now the best I can find is some eBay listings if you don’t mind buying it used
Wooo! Gamevice 🎉
Hope it works with my thick otterbox casee
That’s a good question. If you try it please let me know if it works
does anyone know how well this works with ios emulation? i just turned my old iphones into emulators and i want to play the psp games more organically/ ergonomically.
I honestly have no idea. I would think it would still work but not 100% sure. Let me see if I can find an answer to that and I will get back to you on that.
What emulator are you running?
a couple different ones. mainly retoarch to play PSP PS1 and handheld games. but also Dolphinios and Play! for testing gamecube, wii and PS2. oh and Flycast for dreamcast
It looks like Dolphinios does have controller support
Flycast does have it as well from what it seems but may have some connection issues with some games
Does it work on the galaxy s23 ultra?
I can’t say for certain but as long as you purchase the USB-C version and your phone has a USB-C port you should be good
cooling fan....plzz....
That would be nice
kishi have v2 u can leave on case
I have the iPad model that baby is huge 😂
