Someone who is prone to hand cramps I can't wait for more of the controllers with this form factor.
This design is starting to grow on me. Definitely a case of function over form, and that's what makes it look so good.
Someone needs to make a all in one controller that does Bluetooth/usb type c and it can close together completely to use on the tv and open to use on your phone.
Charging port aswell
A headphone jack too
But it would cost like 200$
Bc it would literally have no competition
@@MrMis1osm i'd pay 200 if the quality was good comparable to console. Most of these android controllers are not very good the best in the market is the Razer Kishi and the dpad/buttons are bad I'll give them credit on the sticks/triggers almost to the level of the series x controller. Anyways theres a market for sure for a good quality controller for Android gamers with cloud gaming/emulation/android games being very popular at the moment.
Awesome video. I had one of my viewers tell me about this controller today and asked if I could review it so I looked it up and ordered it. It looks like this might be what I been waiting for. I've tried everything from the Glap, Game Sir both versions and everything had some type of issue. Besides this not having a C port this looks like it might do the trick.
Just got mine in today too, perfect timing! Fits my Oneplus 9 Pro perfectly!
Would help out a lot if you include the price in the title or description or even the thumbnail. This one is 80$ and pricing is a very essential point when choosing between controllers for mobile.
Most people wouldn't even watch the video if he put the price in the title or thumbnail though.
@@toxicavenger6172 Not only that, but at the moment of posting can be a price, but when somebody watches maybe already cheaper.
I agree, look for Ipega 9087s (the upgraded version). It doesn't have analog triggers and it's smaller than this one, but it costs around 20 USD (1/4 of the price of the controller featured in the video!). It's great for retro gaming.
@@sovo1212 the quality of those cheaper controllers does concern me though.
@@toxicavenger6172 Ipega is a well known manufacturer. To be fair, some of their controllers have less precise analog sticks, still that doesn't mean they're faulty. Others are top notch. In any case, it's perhaps the best controller brand regarding price/quality ratio.
We really need a lot more options for "wired" telescopic controllers.
Yup, bounced around kishi, ipega and gamesir and they all have some kind of issues
@@RandomizationShow What'd you say is the issue with the Kishi?
@@moe4b Too small, too uncomfortable compared to something like the MG-X Pro.
I love some of the Nacon stuff. I have the xbox pro controller with macros and small weights inside, I love it.
Amazing review, as always... the price is very good as well.
Been waiting for this forever. I need it.
Pity it doesn't hold a 10.5" tablet but it would be a Wide beast. I'd like to see the previous version with improved analogue triggers and the right analogue stick placed higher.
The new gamevice controller basically mirrors the popular Razer Kishi but I've heard it has a better feel. It works for Android phones with usb-c and has a more expensive version for iphones. However, it also has a similar version for ipad, specifically the 10.5 inch versions. Though I don't believe it supports every generation, can't same I'm familiar with all the different iPad gens though I'm afraid.
This looks ideal for the fold phones, if you still have your fold I'd love to see a follow up video with how well it works. Also very interested in portrait mode to play some shmups
Just what I was thinking. I own a dual screen ZTE that can't use neither my Kishi nor my 8 bitdo xcloud controller
@@valrond I do use my kishi with my fold but I had to cut the bottom corners off the controller and it just isn't that comfortable to use, this looks much better if it fits
I was just thinking you could 3d print some sort of filler you could slide in to allow portrait phones to fit snugly
@@valrond ah the dual screen ZTE interesting 😁
This is a great controller! Been looking for one to use for aethersx2. Now gt4 will play properly
Did u buy Nacon MG-X Pro? How it works?
The logo overlays were a cool touch.
Happy New Year too!
Really good review! :)
Love your band-aid. :P
Nice, I think this is the 2nd telescopic controllers with analogue triggers I´ve seen.
the bandaid killed me for some reason 😂
Dude eta, your voice is so soothing. Your videos help me go to sleep, not cuz they are boring, but because that warm glass of milk voice...
I know this is an old vid, but just wanted to ask if you've reviewd the z fold? You are one of my favorite tech tubers and I can't find one when I search for it. I only bring this up because I've been researching good controllers recently and this is the one I will probably get. Time and again, the fold gets mentioned as being used with this controller and it is apparently amazing! Was looking on swappa and gen 1 folds can be had for under $500, and they have a snapdragonf 855. Might make a good vid ;)
I bought a PS4 controller years ago in California and I use it on my various phones and computers either plugged in or via Bluetooth. I think this is way for convenient for on the go out when you're in bed and can't set your phone up
How are the thumbstick deadzones? are they good? are they close to the original xbox feeling?
One thing i hated about other controllers are the deadzones. especially ipega ones... even the razer kishi has a slightly bad deadzones which i notice and cannot unnotice.
ROG phone 7 owners. Though a tight fit. The Nacon Pro works with the phone. I'm even able to keep the provided ROG case on.
Previously was using the Razor Kishi. Which was not compatible with the ROG phone 7. After much research the Nacon Pro is one of the few. I'm sure the non pro version works just as well.
Hey thanks looks good!... Can you make a video about telescopic controllers please!...
Hey ETA!, Would love to know if the Z Fold 3 can fit in this thing?
The beaty of these type of controllers is that they are wide since they hold a phone. More width is more comfortable for the arms and wrists.
1:18 "Utilities bluetooth instead of usb C" imma head out ✌
Hey if you can help, I went to set up blue tooth with my phone the Galaxy Z Fold 3 on AT&T and it said I need the app. But I don't see any type of app for this controller. Can you help?
Could you please try connecting the Pro to Windows 10 via Bluetooth, then check to see if the analog triggers are recognised as buttons instead of triggers? The last model had this problem and it'd be great to know. Thank you.
Also, if you're in an emergency situation you can hold the controller up in front of a street light and Batman will rescue you! 🤣
You have to be kidding me... I wanted an original gamevice, never got around to it. Then held off for quite a long time before finally getting the kishi. The kishi is awesome, but I actually went through the hassle of cutting up and attaching grips... this is exactly what I wanted... nooowwww it comes out? At least I got my kishi for under 40 bucks...
I wish someone would make a really good quality telescopic controller for tablets.
I use a PS4/PS5 controller on tablet with Mantis Pro. Works good.
Ipega 9083 was always pretty decent. Thumbsticks feel floaty but otherwise it's good, it fits mine and my family's tablets but the hold isn't the strongest so you'll have to be careful to no shake it much
That controller reminds me of the Sony patented dualshock controller with an xperia 1 in the middle.
I have one of these and its quite good the Bluetooth connection lets it down though I have been using it for playing XBOX game pass games
4:14 why does the car doesn't turn after shaking the left analog so much? I never played FH
Hello ETA PRIME
First greetings from Poland
Second I love your videos
And i have question
With regard the apple update that delate the Bluetooth devices to control touch screen do you think this controller will works with apple devices and games that support original xbox controller ?
Finally a review 😆
I bought one but went in completely blind.
I quite like it!
EDIT: Citra won't detect d-pad and analog movement when trying to map it, you need to install a custom profile with Tasker. I guess it's an issue with the new Android.
I always thought it would be a cool idea if game developers programmed ways to let you use your phone as a second screen. Placing the map, inventory, etc on it. Would work quite well with a phone controller setup.
That was one (along with gyro aiming) of the things I liked about the WiiU and it’s gamepad controller. Lots of games utilized the second screen. It was just ahead of its time.
Same
WiiU rulez
You can play Fallout 4 on PC using your phone as your Pipboy rather than the ingame one.
@@karehaqt I never knew this. That's awesome
This reminds me, where is the Moga XP7-X? they announced it over a year ago...
I'm all for things like this, I like the idea of not having to spend a fortune on devices like the aya neo and just stream it to a phone or tablet, but until we have decent Internet coverage these things are still a dream. Not sure if it is the same problem in other parts of the world but in the u.k your isp provider may well say you have the best package which you are paying top whack for, but unless you know what you are looking for, more often than not it's a slow connection, too slow for streaming a game any sense and certainly not what you are paying for.
It's even worse in the USA, if you don't live in a city with cable or fiber optic, expect 3mb down and 700kb up on DSL. If you are lucky enough to have cable, you will pay through the nose for it.
Which would you pick this or a game sir x2 usb c? Would the ergonomics of this controller Trump the usb c connection of the gamesir?
I have used a clip for my phone, but it gets heavy and uncomfortable quickly. Is it any better with the mgx pro?
maybe the same problem because its BT and has the extra battery in it?
Just got mine today is it me or are the sticks too high?? After anbernic products kind of spoiled on those type....buttons a little too clicky and hard but work well and I wish they were a bit smaller
I've been looking for a controller to use for my Z fold 4 to mainly play Call of Duty mobile. Will that game just simply not work with this controller or is there a way to make it work?
That slide section should be spring loaded, i could picture the phone falling out quite easily if you give it full send. 😂
that looks really nice
Esse canal é muito bom !
Yes
should i play on top of a surface to rest my wrists? my hands hurt, cant held the device after some hours plus my aim goes to shit (which already is compares to when i plaged cod4)
I'm on the fence about this or the gamesir x2 usb for my galaxy fold 3, do you think they'd release this with usb?
It has analog triggers, that's awesome.
I would love to see a USB type C with audio headphones conector like this that you showed in the video, something like the backbone of IOS but for Android
If only backbone made a usb c one and ported the launcher app😭
@@MrMis1osm something like this?
th-cam.com/video/OjDn6PSxdWI/w-d-xo.html
@@shocktriple I have seen it and.... those thumbs sticks are a war crime...why...?
@@shocktriple plus btw dude everyone and there mom are saying this is a bad controller software wise and hardware dont buy jt!
Maybe if a lot of people ask backbone for an android version they'll eventually make one.
Edit: I just checked and they have a waitlist for Android.
Does the controller feel exactly like a xbox controller when holdong it with the trigger placement and distance from the grips to the triggers?
If only my wireless didn't have this odd interaction with Bluetooth that causes lag spikes every second, I would use this for Steam Link. For now I'm using a wired Razer Kishi I snagged on a sale
I'm really hoping they make a version of this that supports just slightly bigger phones (have the S21 Ultra and according to specs it wouldn't fit), USB C like he mentioned, and also a way to charge your phone while using the this since there's no way to do so currently with this.
I hear it works with S22 ultra! Check out dimensions on S21 fully it may actually fit!
What is the biggest size phone/tablet it will hold? Saw a fold in one and it still had lots of space.
Hey ETA Prime, how do you fix the bluetooth lag? the 200ms ish lag is horrible and is present with every bluethooth controller (xbox, moga etc) !!!
Waiting for a telescopic controller for the ipad mini 6🎮
I have a z fold 3 and the mgx pro will not sync with any of my phones? Any help?
How do you think it compares to the Gamesir X2 Type-C?
I literally just bought a controller for my phone and I couldn't stand it because of the form factor. It hurt my hands.
This looks like the one I've been looking for!!!
You selling it?
as usual, my biggest gripe is most likely having to remove the phone from its case.
there is a new 3DS emulator release for Mali processors phones called Citra Enhanced Beta 1
It seems nice, but it's extremely expensive. I have an Ipega 9087s and it costs 1/4 of the price of this controller, it works great, but it's smaller and it doesn't have analog triggers. Really good for retro gaming.
FYI. I had three of these die on me from the left side. Seems when you extend them, there's some sort of disconnect on the left side that won't communicate with the right side after eventual usage.
Nice controller but the Bowser band-aid is S-tier wound care.
🖐️Have you looked at the Ipega pg 9083C? Emphasis on the (C)! I can't find any specs on that model. Just found one on Amazon and it doesn't say much. It's named Zombiescat. I think it's supposed to be Zombies Cat but it looks like Zombie scat but I didn't know zombies poop but anyway. I just want to know what the difference is between this one and the other 2 if you happen to know. Would like to hear back from you. Thanks🙂
Been looking to replace the controllers on my OneGx1 Pro, I wonder if this would work.....
It works with shadow legends , ocean horn, Kotor 1&2 , street fighter and Stardew valley and a lot of final fantasy and flight simulator and Bomberman life.
Does this work for pc gaming?
Not cloud gaming to your phone but can I connect it to my pc
with one of those clips and an xbox controller i'd guess you could use an otg cable to get a direct connection
this dude has cooler bandaids than me
It always annoys me that xcloud crops the display so much. I get its 16:9, but they should do some custom aspects for xcloud. Then again its still in beta.
That's why GeForce now is king
I just want a USB c one that works with my Xperia 1 iii. The kishi "works" but gotta pull the rubbers out and it's feels unsafe. Duno about gamesir since my old one died after a few days of having it and I returned it
ETA, are you gonna review the powkiddy A30?
Can you look at the steel series stratus duo
Where can I see a video that shows how to put roms on your phone?
The Awesomeness
What is the best telescopic controller to use with a galaxy s7+? Both usb c and Bluetooth..thank you!
Gamesir x2 usb c
I would prefer a little bit overlap with the screen instead of holding a wide chocolate bar
Can anyone answer if this controller has an X-input mode and can be used on Windows? What about the "Android" specific version - it's cheaper by 20%?
I KNOW you are hardware guy first but trust me... do a video of top android games that natively support a controller. Show your best controllers... because there is no clear way to know and a lot of parents would appreciate it.
I've got great news it supports the fold
Would you do a round-up of the best controllers so far? Or your top 5 or top 3 favorites?
Is there controller like this but for ipad mini 6 ?
Aethersx2 on snapdragon 888 . We never get to see that . Please make a video regarding that .
On my iPhone, CoD Mobile works perfectly with the backbone controller, which is like this controller but missing the grips. So they need to fix the Android version.
Seems nice
Whats a good telescopic controller for a 7-8inch tablet?
Thank you
Can this controller use as a pc controller？ I mean directly contect with PC.
Do the buttons come out just like the thumbnail?
Ok I'm liking this a Lil better
Hi ETA Prime! Does this have gyro?
Does it has input lag for a game like super mario?
What is the name of the mapping program that you use?
Really wish they'd support tablets with these designs
The best one we've gotten so far has been the Gamesir. I personally would prefer something incredibly small and incredibly thin. Something that'll make a phone feel like a PSP or PS Vita, rather than a knockoff Nintendo Switch.
I got it last week and I hate how some games doesn't support it
Sparklite or games like it only support some controllers and it annoys the hell out of me, I thought this would have same support as and xbox one but apparently not, but I love it and It could be better in some ways
1- wish the usb c port could work with USB c headphones
2-if they won't do usb c headphones support then add a headphone jack!
3- I would love if it could fast charge bc sometimes the port doesn't charge as fast as my phone depletes energy and thats annoying
BUT I love it, best one in the market but its definitely could be easily beaten if anything with any of the above or has better build quality/ design / feels.
Yeah sorry for rambling not many people care about gamesir controler😂😂😂
Hi, Better than razer kishi?
same as what they did for the switch right?
