- Doesn't matter if you wish to connect the iPad Pro 12.9", or a Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra or S9 Ultra, or even the Lenovo Tab Extreme, there isn't a single tablet that this mod can't accomodate. In other words, this simple and easy mod offers the absolute best tablet controller we've ever seen.

For TH-cam mostly....and to the first video to show it @RetroBreeze First I will just address everyone saying "now I know where the screws are I will just cut through the rubber to get to them" first of all Godspeed, you wont hit them the first time and getting them in and out IS NOT worth the benefit. You are actually at higher risk of damaging the ribbon cable that connects not only front usb chagrining and aux.... but everything.
Also the "I can cut it from the outside without removing the back".... I am sure you are right, but you saved zero heartache, promise. Take the back off, make it clean.
Now moving on. A heat gun or hair dryer is a great way to make sure the adhesive stays on the rubber pad, not the device backing. If either are more accessible to you great. But a hair dryer is more than enough heat. I have both accessible and still used a hair dryer. If when you are peeling the rubber pad back you feel some extra resistance, hit it with the heat again briefly. Doing it this way left 100% of the adhesive on the rubber pad not the controller back. It was almost TOO sticky to get perfectly back in place. Once I did get it seated correctly I hit it with the heat one more time and left it to cool. Just like new.
Secondly..... no spudger no problem. I tried this originally with a learners' guitar pick and it was simply too soft to pop the outer clips...... I lost my old spudger with a handle so I sat and thought.... OH YEAH worn old/outdated/empty, or otherwise unusable "credit cards". Not new trick I know but a spudger was missing and I had old cards nearby. HES IS 100% RIGHT THOUGH DON'T USE METAL!!!!
Thirdly, I did one removal of the supports as shown here just to see, and the other with a dremel. I am sure handed with both tools, but the dremel was faster, and ultimately cleaner. I had to use a sanding stone to be happy with either result anyhow. I would say if you are new to dremels and soft plastic, do it the way in this video. If you are like me and have both within arms reach of your desk and are confident you won't cut into the outer plastic, use the dremel it was faster and cleaner. I will add that I used a sanding wheel attachment instead of a cutting wheel since.... yeah I am steady handed but not THAT steady handed, and one slip with a wheel will 100% cut the outer case.
Also maybe most importantly.... this mod does not take minutes..... if you are fine REEEEALLLLY givin' er on the clips you might get the screws, backing pad and back of the case off. But expect to spend closer to an hour if you are novice and not trying to damage any thing on the outside. That said it is an easy mod if you take your time.
Also a shame the entire ribbon cable process wasn't shown here. I have fat man fingers and used to build computers with lots of daughterboards and ribbon cables and I found myself having to be VERY careful here. It didn't even seat right the first time and I am experienced with ribbon cables. Pro tip to fat fingered friends..... when you go to put it back in get a good grip 1/2" away from the ribbon end that needs to connect then balance the case on your sausage hand. when you flip the little black "lock" down make sure the cable is straight and even.... otherwise you will have to spudge the case back open and do it twice.... like me lol
Had to give you a thumbs up and a "pin"! All great tips are in there. Thanks, I did not know the word "spudger", learned something thanks to you! The ribbon cable is by far the most "tedious" aspect of this, but at least in my case, it happened very quickly, I did feel like I was lucky cause usually, those "hard to reach" ones take upward of 10-15mins alone to sit correctly but to your point, thicker fingers, you've been warned. Thanks for this very detailed post and engaging. Cheers!
Ele escreveu um texto gigante isso ss
@@francileudodes.c5879 Havia valor em seu texto gigante. além disso, considero isso uma paixão por um assunto, respeito isso.
Bro, the tablet was a little small you should try a TV 🤨
I like your style, will see if I can get my hands on one of those 100" Hisense, thanks for the suggestion!
@@GameTechTalk damm bro!! 🤣🤣
Queeeeeeeeeeee tu me zuando cara uma tv q isso cara
@@francileudodes.c5879 Hahaha, sim, foi brincadeira, não sou tão maluco assim... ainda 😉
Not gonna lie … I can see me with this and a 32” on my lap on my couch. I’m a freak like that.
Great video and thanks for the mention. I gotta pick up one these.
I'm just a Dad giving another Dad credit where credit is due! Cheers 😀
That looks surprisingly more sturdy / stable than I expected. Might give it a try on my S9+.
Worth it. I'm tempted to grab a Tab S9 but I guess I'll hold off for the next iteration but yeah, it's as legit a setup as it goes.
Thanks for this tip, i was wondering if that was possibile, and now im certain that not only is possible, but, awesome too 😮😮😮
That it is!
This is why im excited to get one!
Understandably so. It is overkill and I just love it! 😊
The Bsp D8 I found Being the best controller for tablet it fit my 9inch tablet without mod !!
The value of the BSP D8 is hard to beat, it costs so little and it does the job but in terms of quality, ergonomics, reliability? It's almost illegal to mention them both in the same sentence, they are not in the same weight class.
Works like a charm
That it does!
Hi.Great controller,I'm using this G8 with Xperia 1V or Samsung tab S6,don't need a ps portal (for Ps5) or Ps4 remote play if I need,it's fantastic.I done this mod, much quicker and without taking apart this.The best controller on the market!!!
It's only once in a while that we get a product that is so definitively transformative and the Galileo G8 is one of them. I did not expect it to be this good. Thanks for commenting, hopefully, more gamers like you and I will see your comment and become more curious about it, it's sooooo good!!!
Hi.I want to try to do one more mod with gamepad, cooling system,add mobile cooler somehow, any idea?!
Can't say that I do outside of the GameSir X3. Sounds like a fun project! :) @@mariusznowak725
thats nuts, especially the side by side aktion
Yup, Samsung really has the best Android OS in my opinion, it used to suck but they’ve come a long way and that side-by-side is one example of how far that it can be pushed!
I don't really want to do a tablet mod but was wondering what you thought about removing some material and adding a phone cooler. From what I see it seems like a lot of plasting in the back. Maybe drilling or cutting large holes in the back.
I wouldn't go to that extent, personally. BUT, there is really 4 coils that holds both sides together, the plastic could really not be there at all. With that in mind, a mod that does not leave plastic behind your socketed device could definitely be a thing, would it be as stable though? Your guess would be as good as mine.
That is one scary pull 😂😂😂. But I'm glad that there's a way to fit this gamepad to tablets
Totally agree with you ahahah! I was expecting those coils to snap or something but it's really robust, way more scare than harm, thankfully! 😊
Did this for my S9+. Works awesome. PS remote play with God of war Ragnarok is awesome.
Right? Most of FF7 Rebirth will most likely be experienced that way for me personally!
Can you please advise what the 3rd game is? The retro pixel looking one. That's looks fun
With pleasure, it is called Steel Assault. Kind of a Contra meets Bionic Commando if you played those NES classics. :)
I have a fold 3 , the mapping of buttons for games isn't reading. Trying to do the touch mode . any advice on fixing the problem?
You might need to activate the developer mode in your settings to enable the USB debug, you should be able to find a quick tuto without much effort. Give that a try and let us know if it works for you. Otherwise, there are other softwares that can provide mapping from any controller but they require some less than desirable operations, nothing alarming or complicated, just a bit time consuming. I think the app I'm referring to is called Mantis and it's on the PlayStore. Cheers!
What’s your camera setup cause I have a hard time obtaining this angle (the top down view/look)
I'm using a FX30 and ZV-E10, depends. Lens is a Sigma 15-35mm and I have a wall mount arm that keeps it steady and not attached to the table so it doesn't rock when I move. I have a ring light off to the side, which gives a bit more reflection than I'd like, I would want to change it for a softer solution in due time but haven't yet. I hope this helps!
I noticed Steel Assault in the intro. Does it have an android version? or is that streaming? EDIT: I guess I just need to keep watching, as you answered later in the video that it is streaming from Amazon Luna. I wonder if the switch version works with yuzu...
I would think so, especially on that hardware, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 can even play some 3D titles at full speed so Speed Assault should be, in my opinion, rather an easy ask.
Awesome!! Please, Did you have Rumble function when playing Astro playroom? Did the Gamesir Rumble? (using the Ps official App) Thank you very much!
Unfortunately, it doesn't rumble. I covered the controller in far more details in my actual review, you'll find considerably more data to make an informed decision there, if you are on the fence of getting this or not. th-cam.com/video/nlWbZzNPS1g/w-d-xo.html Cheers, thanks for engaging!
thanks! anyway, there are other streaming for gaming such as PS Play, do you know It? As I Heard this has Rumble function...if you could check It in your tab9 would be wonderful, please give It a try!
So yes, PsPlay let's you reroute rumble to your device (phone or tablet). It does provide slight feedback, I tested it, but it's minor. The vibration is carried through physical contact which is fairly little. So you'll feel something, just not much.@@Andrew-Night
How do you get it to work on fire tablet 10 HD??? Its not recognizing the controller for some reason. It says its not compatible.
Fire Tablet 10 HD, while running on Android, is still a very different Android build being highly customized by Amazon. So, it's possible that from a driver perspective, that the controllers may not be as readily available. Have you tried downloading GameSir's app? Not to say it'll change anything but it wouldn't hurt to try. I'd also suggest changing modes if you haven't. (hold Select + Start for 3 seconds)
Cheers!
What case are you using on your tablet? Im thinking of upgrading to an S9 Ultra from my S7+ which I currently use with my G8 controller (the trade in program is too juicy). One thing I noticed is that the G8 can scuff the backplate of the S7+ pretty bad unless there's something covering it hence the case ask (Worried the case might prevent connection with the G8!)
How comfortable is it wielding such a beast tablet with the G8 after all these months? Thanks in advance.
It's the original Samsung Tab S8 Ultra bookcase keyboard case. It's so expensive but I do like the fact that it splits exactly for reasons like that. I can protect the back even when not using a keyboard.
@@GameTechTalk hell yeah brother I'm picking that one up for moonlight emulation purposes with the G8 Galileo. Just got my s9 ultra today and it's such a beast coming from the s7+ in terms of snappiness and the beautiful screen. The G8 fits perfectly and it's absurd. Thanks for the rec on the case I'm getting one now!
Can you buy an extension cable and connect it that way or does it have to be connected directly
You can use a female Type-C to Type-A cable to connect it to a tablet, a PC. It can work on a lot of different devices using that method.
Dang this is perfect for those tablets
Most definitely!
If a put an ligthning port adapter will it work with previous apple device ?
Unfortunately it will not, the reason being that Apple "hardware gated" their port, so while charging sometimes work (though it often wasn't working well with non-official cables/adapters), data does not and game controller inputs are translated as data inputs. In other words, I have NEVER seen a port that supports data, and the ones that claim they do mean a chip to support charge, you need to find one that does OTG. Good luck, believe me I searched!
@@GameTechTalk oh thanks you are the first who gave me a clear response. I see people who say that will work in different forum but they never tried. I will wait for when my phone need to be change so …
Hi , bearing in mind that the official remote play does not support Rumble, It would be worth checking the PsPlay app since as I have Heard It has Rumble function, to make haptic Rumble from PS5 games are represented with Standard Rumble through S9 Device itself (tablet vibration) or perhaps controller Rumble.
Please Could you give It a try???
I have, so the device itself (phone and/or tablet) does rumble if you select that option in PsPlay, just not the controller as it doesn't have rumble or haptic capabilities. You don't feel much, but you do feel a little. I hope this answers your question, cheers! :)
@@GameTechTalk thanks again! Two question please
- What about Xcloud Games streaming, does the controller Rumble? Or the Device itself?
-what about the quality of imagen for the psPlay streaming? Is as good as the official ps Remote? Or even better?
Thanks!
I just replied to that very question on another comment but in a nutshell, no, Xcloud does not support vibration. There may be an app that does but I don't have it to test it unfortunately. @@Andrew-Night
@@GameTechTalk what if you use an bluetooth conttroller that has Rumble function?? (Gamesir Galileo G8 does not Rumble) however, if you Connect an Xbox controller or dual sense through bluetooth to your tab 9 ultra...maybe Xbox games Cloud could Rumble in those controllers ...
What do you think?
Another good bluetooth controller with Rumble is the ipega PG 9-777
It still didn't rumble using Microsoft's own Series controller, safe to say the app doesn't support that feature as far as I'm concerned. Now in all fairness, different cellphone manufacturers may have different APIs and behave differently. I tried on two Samsung devices. Cheers! @@Andrew-Night
Wish there was a mod that allowed the USB-C plug to reach when the phone is in a phone case.
Mine won't plug in the Galileo C plug is too short, and taking the phone in and out of the case 3x a day is to much of a hassle. It almost breaks every time I do it lol
I can't use this thing, I'm going to have to find some other model
That's unfortunate. I know it doesn't change anything but they are working on a new iteration of their long existing X2 line-up, I wouldn't be surprised if we see a better and improved version of the Galileo G8 at some point in the future, but that'd be at least a year if not two. That's pure speculation on my part but this product is clearly a great success and they have a history of improving their products over time.
I know that this is compatible with iphone 15, but I don't know whether it supports ipads or not. Can you check it please?
It does, of course you would need to do the mod as otherwise, it won't stretch enough but I can confirm having tested with my brother's iPad Pro, it definitely works on the iOS mode (white light). Cheers!
Would gamesir g8 hold Rog Flow Z13 that is 13mm thick?
How did I not know this existed! :O
A tablet with a freaking RTX inside?!? Anyway, to answer your question, yes it would in terms of width but I definitely would recommend the G8+ and not the G8. The Minisforum V3 fits the G8 and it is a bit wider than the Flow Z13 but the problem is more the fact that I'm unsure if the connector on the G8 would be tall enough whereas the G8+ wouldn't be an issue at all.
@@GameTechTalkGreat! Thanks a lot for the reply : ) Yep, I checked G8+ as well, and it should fit without any modifications.
One question is it comfortable holding the larger tablets in it?
I would definitely say so but I am sure there are a few people that would cast it off without ever looking back.
How you can connect the controller to PC I was trying but don't have Bluetooth and the USB don't recognize the controller
You need to have a USB-C female to USB-C male/USB-A male and you connect the female part to the inside of the controller, that’s the only way to use the G8 on PC or other compatible devices. I addressed it in the full Galileo G8 review and a bunch of other things, here’s the link if ever you’d like th-cam.com/video/nlWbZzNPS1g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=5CVh4QxEPz5qLgBw , it’s a good watch!
I can’t get this to work with my Samsung S5E. Any suggestions?
Can't say that I do but there is this thing extremely rare to run into but not impossible. Your USB-C needs to have OTG support, otherwise, the controller won't work. But if you are able to plug say a microphone, a USB drive, or whatever else in your phone, that's not it. The other issue would be, have you held select+start to cycle from different modes? Or when you say it doesn't work, is it that it literally doesn't even power up (LEDs stay shut). Sorry I can't be of more help, let me know if mode swapping did it for you.
I used a pair of joycon rails and glued it to my tab s9 case! Then got a pair of joycon grips. I just slide my joycons in turn Bluetooth on and boom. The only issue is that the joycon stick suck compared to a regular controller. I'm gonna test out the mobapads and see if they work on the tablet!
That's absolutely brilliant! I haven't tested the Mobapads personally but I am expecting similar joycons for review from another brand that seems to do very similar products, much like NYXI and DOYOKY. Anywho, let me know if it works for you, it sounds like a perfect pleasant setup!
@GameTechTalk I'm a little nervous lol I really hope they work! Or else I'll do what you did! Gamesir controllers are amazing! Thanks for the instructions!
I have a Samsung Galaxy tab a and it says the controller isn't supported so even though I've modded g8, no joy.
Try changing modes, hold the top left and top right little round buttons simultaneously for a few seconds. You have light blue, green and dark blue modes. Dark blue is for screen mapping, that may have conflict with some devices but the other modes should work without any issue. I hope this helps!
I think it can be another way to make a connection like a USB cable c female port and c male port
Well let me be the one to confirm that it absolutely works. I don't recall if I mention it in my original review of the G8 but I definitely tested it and it connected to my PC without issue. Same with the X2s for that matter. Even the Backbone One and some "cradle" Switch controllers work that way as well. Nice little solution that many don't know! ;)
How comfortable was using a 14” tablet with this controller? I am planning to use my 13.2” tablet with it and I am concerned it will be way too heavy after 10-15mins.
Surprisingly comfortable I'd say. For sure, you wouldn't want to be playing this thing for hours on in with your arms extended out but between keeping them to your torso or by laying your elbows on a surface for support, you can get some pretty decent game time without issue. The wider width helps making the grip and overall balance quite to my liking.
I'd say its just about as good, the one position that is a no no is laying on your back with the setup being held over your head with your arms stretched out. That sounds like a bad idea for all the reasons you can think of! 🤣
@@GameTechTalk Thanks for the reply.
I had asked because I had the BSP D9 and attached my iPad Pro 11" on it and it was simply too heavy for me to use. It killed my wrists, and I had to return the D9 as a result (and also because the build quality was garbage).
I will give this a try and hope that the weight distribution is slightly better! And for sure I will be using it lying down. The amount of times I drop my phone on my face proves that I should not have a heavy 13" screen anywhere near my face :p
Ahahhah! That last part, you know what I was talking about, it happens to me too so yeah, I wouldn't want to drop a heavy tablet on my face either! 🤣
As for the BSP-D9, I did not pick it up though it looked kind of nice, I expected build quality to be meh. The Galileo G8 is a completely different league, the build quality is phenomenal so I'm sure you'll see a difference, let's just hope it is enough of one. Cheers!@@mufaa
Honestly, I don’t quite understand how the left side of the joystick works without connecting wires... that is, all the wires are on the right side. If you can tell me, I will be grateful!
They are using the coil to conduct the data from one side to the other. If I had to guess, it probably is a data wire dipped in a metal alloy to make a wire that they turn into a coil. Just guesstimating because other than knowing it's the coil, I know nothing else. Cheers! :)
Has anyone tried this mod with an Ipad? I am currently using the galileo on my iphone 15 and would love a bigger screen. I might just bite the bullet on a steamdeck or something though. I know only some of the newer ipads have USBC. Thanks
I tried on an iPad Pro and it worked, I don't see why it wouldn't on any other USB-C iPad.
I just tested it with my iPad Air 5th gen (USB-C) and works well.
Also saw some 3d printed bracket somewhere to cover the gap when pulling it open like this. Might get that printed for extra support.
Tks for engaging, do let me know how the brackets do feel if you get them printed! Cheers :)@@shaflic
If this controller is for tablets out of the box I'll definitely get one.
Unfortunately not but hopefully GameSir will be inspired to do an official model. Cheers!
Same. The only reason I haven't got one is because it won't fit in my 10 inch tab. Currently waiting for the BSP D9 controller which looks like a PsPortal in theory and supposedly can fit tablets along with having hall effect sticks.
@@J.C.2.5 that one is bluetooth, though
Regarding Rumble , what about xbox cloud gaming, does it have rumble? Does the controller Rumble or just the device itself?
Could you confirm me please ?
Hey Andres, much like Sony's official app, Microsoft's cloud gaming app does not offer options to send the rumble to the device (phone or tablet). And since the controller doesn't have motors, it doesn't work either but even if it did, I think the app itself just doesn't support vibration, even the official Xbox controller doesn't rumble for me (on Android). I tested all that.
There may be a solution for you though, there is an app for android called R3play by Tmacdev, that app supports both PS4/PS5 remote play but also Xbox Series remote play. Much like PSPlay, it sends rumble to the phone but the app is not free. Each service is a license you have to buy, I have the PS5 license, not the Xbox one. Sorry, that I couldn't test but I can tell you that on PS5, rumble does work through the device. I hope this helps a little.
@@GameTechTalk let me clarify as I have ready checked in Microsoft Xbox info about Cloud gaming, Xcloud on android does not support Rumble, however Xcloud for Windows does...did you confirm It? (With a Asus Rog Ally or Legion Go we could confirm this, unfortunately I do not have neither of them)
Regarding Chiaki android or PS play, seems that both of them have the Rumble function (making the Device itself with vibration)
However here...there is something interesting. Using a dual sense or dual shock controller through bluetooth to the Tab 9 Ultra, the controllers Rumble...
This leads us to think that any controller which has Rumble motors connected by bluetooth...should Rumble as well...
An ipega PG 9-777 (connected by bluetooth) should Rumble , even a Xbox series controller should do It too... So, It might be interesting to try this...maybe Chiaki android or psPlay can make those controllers rumbling in the same way a DualShock or dual sense does.
Could you check It?
Also for xcloud gaming on Windows, If you have the chance to confirm this would be astonishing.
All these features is something nobody has tackel It...and, ..there is No doubt that this is a situación which deserves been mentioned even in a TH-cam video for Streaming gamers.
You could be the only One to face It!!!

the springs conduct electricity. Not sure if its a great idea to have them exposed like that?
I was thinking the same so I went the "best" route to find out, which was to touch them all while powering some inputs. No shocks, no puff of smoke, no zap... I'd still want to cover 'em at some point but I gotta say, this thing is hard to break even when going absolutely "dumb mode" with it. 😅
@@GameTechTalk read about the hack and was hoping it would be less "jank". Would be nice for it to fit my tablet as well as my phone but I think I would rather keep it a bit more stable and just have it as phone only.
I guess I didn't take enough time to showcase that aspect on the video. So here's the thing, if I put it on my phone, it performs exactly as if it wasn't modded, because the plastic still slides in just as it would. So the mod has zero impact on what the controller was designed for, it only expands its usability. 😃@@JimIBobIJones
Do you feel the Type-C connector is safe from damage? because it only moves up and down, and not left and right, which was probably more important in a tablet.
Plus, i saw some negative comments on this aspect in other controllers of this style, so i wanted an opinion from your side.
It is extremely solid on the tablet. USB-C connectors usually don't swivel, I don't know who would want a connector swiveling left/right but as far as I know, I've never seen that. Plus, left/right would be good for one specific aspect but worst for every other, whereas the up and down of the Galileo G8 is just perfect from a compatibility standpoint and where I stand, it's an amazing addition. Because it doesn't move left and right, it's robust and can actually tolerate some "tension". With that said, I don't feel as though it needs to tolerate much if at all because the spring system is SOOO STRONG that the hold on the tablet comes from that specific aspect.
My controller has been on my Tab S8 Ultra for 8 days now and I removed it this morning to check it out, the tension is just as strong and when taking off, the controller closes back just like when it was fresh out the box. At this rate, my Galileo G8 is now a permanent fixture on my tablet and I don't expect any damage because of it, in fact, it is as viable a solution as if my controller would've been on my phone instead. I hope this helps, cheers!
Nice, that clarifies a lot! Thanks@@GameTechTalk
How long can you comfortably play using an ipad 12"?
I haven't used the iPad as I don't have one, but using my Tab S8 Ultra, I played upwards of 2 hours the other night. And I didn't stop cause I wasn't able to keep up or anything, I just was ready to fall asleep. It definitely requires some readjusting of the way you hold these devices but think of it this way, back when everyone was nagging people who bought a Samsung Note, it was like: "Dude, this phone is way too big, it's absurd"... And look where we are now.
If we think of gaming with a tablet the same way we would with a Nintendo Switch, sure, it doesn't seem comfortable, but when presented with that solution, and we give it some time? It ends up a lot more pleasant than initially expected. At least it's been my experience. I hope this helps!
@@GameTechTalk thank you so much for your response
Btw it fits PERFECTLY with the Fire HD 8
I have tried three different gamesir controller on my s9 ultra and the light just blinks and does not connect any ideas?
By 3 different controllers, do you mean three different Galileo G8? If not, what are the three models you are referring to? And last, have you tried holding select + start to see if you can cycle through modes (not all of them will work on Android).
I have tried a G8, X2 pro and X2 and they will not connect
They all connect to my flip 5 fine but not my tablet just blinks
@@mfarrell7177 I see. I don't have a Tab S9 Ultra, I have an S7 Plus and a S8 Ultra but there is just about zero reasons why that would have any impact at all. What I would suggest is that you Google "Enable USB debugging Android" and activate the feature. There might be a "handshake" issue with your tablet and controllers and usually, if that is the case, that'll fix it. Let me know if that helps at all. Cheers!
Which android game are you running in this video?
In order that we see them:

Unfortunately, I do not own that specific tablet to test it out. All I can tell you is that every Android device I tested it with worked: "Galaxy Fold 4, RoG Phone 3, Note 10, Pixel 7, FireHD Tablet" Let me know if ever you find out the info. Cheers!

did it for my 8.5 inch tablet, its perfect and way better value than PS Portal
Does anyone know a controller that doesn't need to be modded and works on an 11 inch tablet with a case? Will the Ipega 9083s work?
It will, speaking from experience as I have one but I must say, it is not a great controller. The sticks have massive cardinal magnets, if you don't mind that then it's bearable but with the current market we find ourselves in, it's extremely disappointing in comparison.
@@GameTechTalk i have the ipega red knight so I'm used to ipega controllers. Thanks!
@@johnboona4048 Then in that case, by all means go for it. To give you reference, I would use the 9083s with a Tab S7 Plus, it was a VERY TIGHT fit, but it definitely did fit. The 9023 fits too by the way. Cheers!
Oq vc colocou pra ficar mais largo pra jogar no tablet
Não adicionei nada, removi algo. Como este vídeo foi inspirado em outro TH-camr, sugiro que você dê uma olhada no vídeo dele. Isso mostrará como com mais detalhes:

Obrigado!
It would be cool for a mod.
Yup, yes it would! 😊
Waiting for the Christmas giveaway! lol
😂😂😂 There's actually a huge one coming but it is not that product, it's for a future upcoming video.
When I saw your previous vid on this, I searched and found out that it is actually available here in the Philippines for 58usd and I'm looking at getting one so I can play dead cells comfortably on my phone.😂
Oh you will not be disappointed, it legitimately is a turning point for mobile controllers. Usually we don't have access to that comfort on mobile but times have changed. Let me know if you like it when you get it! :)@@kentjasper3390
How 2 parts communicate with each other?
That is the genius of these controllers, they communicate by the coils in the back.
@@GameTechTalk I figured. Very neat design indeed
I mean I get it but even with my s22 ultra the weight is too much for long sessions.
The g8 is awesome though.
It most certainly is! :)
How's it hold up after these months
Extremely well, as if it was designed for that 1in the first place. And I can still remove it too without issue, I tried the controller on the OneXplayer X1 literally yesterday, it got back to its original shape like it was nothing when I took it off the tablet.
@@GameTechTalk awesome thanks for the reply . Might have to give it a go soon
I’m gonna try this mod on one of the Xbox smartphone controllers
GameSir controllers all seem to use those coils to transfer data, Backbone ones and the likes use a ribbon cable and buying longer ones do not work, I tested it more than a year ago, just never made a video about it. Don't bother if you are not trying to mod a GameSir, my recommandation to you.
@@GameTechTalk I actually thank you so much for taking the time to let me know this because I would’ve just wasted time and money
Glad I could help! :) @@LordPryde
Tried this with Gamesir X2. Too heavy for long session.
The GameSir X2 is not ergonomically built for that too mind you. With the G8, it is heavier than most setups for sure, except handheld PCs like the Win Max 2 where the lines do blur but yeah, a GameSir X2 would probably have the weight shift backwords on the top of the device, I'm sure it'd be uncomfortable. Cheers!
I was afraid to damage the ribbon cable so i just cuted the block without opening it.... It is visible ???yes but who cares
0:56 Look hurt abit :)
Nothing but impressions, this controller is a soldier!! But really though, it has now been 72hrs that the controller is steadily on the tablet, I’ve undone it and the spring are still coming back just like if they didn’t stretch at all.
They really need to release a version of G8 compatible with tablets
Based off of their Discord, they are working on something that would be compatible with the latest iPad Pro 13”, now will that be for other tablets as well? Time will tell but the rumor is it’s in the works.
@@GameTechTalk I bought one S9 just for emulation and playing with Steam link. I will use the G8 mod cutting the spring limiters. I can't wait to a new G8 for tablets
@@raf.nogueira I would suggest to hold off until I release my review of the G8+ on the 15/16th July. 😊
@@GameTechTalk Already subscribed! ;)
@raf.nogueira they just did. Gamesir G8 Plus+
This vid may be a bit dated...there's an easier, quicker and less intrusive way of doing this. You just need a nipper and prying tool no screws needed to be removed. But great video none the less and thanks for the content!
Thank you, indeed I heard about that just recently in fact.
I want to know if you can do the mod for me , ill buy it from you
I woudn't mind doing it for free, it literally takes mere minutes. It's more the shipping logistics that I'd be concerned with. Go to my TH-cam userpage to grab my e-mail, send me one and we can establish there if it's feasible.
Cheers! :)
Try a projector
If any projector making company sees this, please holler at me! 😅
0:13 Whats the game? 😮
In the intro, the three games you see in order are:
-Minecraft
-Astro's Playroom (PS5 exclusive)
-Steel Assault
I hope this helps!
you look like you never used a blade before you had me nervous
Ahahaah!! 😂 Yeah it's a thing in my entire family, we don't have steady hands AT ALL!
I got used to it over the years but I understand how it may looks as if I'm about to cut myself or break something! Cheers :)
Wow!
Instinctively I figured it just wouldn't hold up on the left side!
Tablet may be overkill and more proof of concept, but quite helpful for phones or smaller size tablets that "just" miss the measuring cut!
I thought it was going to be over the top and that RetroBreeze hit that sweet spot but honestly, this is so much more viable than one would assume. In fact, I'd say the bigger tablet puts more tension on the coils and makes it hold even tighter, it's just absurd how reliable that setup is. And when I remove the controller, as I have many times since that video, it still goes back no problems like those springs never were under this much tension, GameSir did not cheap out on those coils, it's legit.
too bad companies dont just make a tablet version. I ordered this and plan to print a 3d filler piece.
So GameSir is working on a new X2 prototype that will natively support tablets but I do not know at this point in time how big of a tablet that is, and also if they'll literally take the same approach or have something behind that sits there to hold both sides together, or maybe a removable additional piece to put when largely extended?
Thanks for engaging by the way!
I just use a USB-C female-male extension cable...
Yup, that works for PC, MacOS and Steam Deck too but there's something special about having it strapped to controls ahahaha! I'm also a bit crazy 😅
What's with those baby hands? lmao
I'll gladly take it! It'll serve me right when I'm much older! 😅
Artrosis.
Got them powerful wrists though 😂
no way on a S8 tab ultra.
Yes way! That controller is crazy, I love it!
@@GameTechTalk have you tried ps remote play on it?
@@patrickmallari1411 Yup, it works on the light blue mode. And just to make sure I address your question, I am talking about the official Sony Remote Play app, the one that usually doesn't work without having a licensed controller. :)
We need a Bluetooth version of this controller
I sure would like it. However, there is this controller that I have that I ended up never making a video of, the PowerA Moga XP7 and it's essentially this one with bluetooth but on top of that, with included wireless charging. You may want to look it up, cheers! :)
i wish the usb c was on the left not right
Why?
Every other similar device does it on the right and most games horizontalize in a way where the right side is the “correct” side.
@@Mister_Phafanapolis For foldable phones
@@topherc100gamesir x2 is on the opposite side AFAIK
Foldable phones are just not designed for controllers but I stand by the fact that the Galileo G8 is still the best controller for my Fold 4, being that it is vertically slim. Watch my main review, if you want to see an example of it, it's in my channel.
wut?
