Works with Otterbox Defender cases
I’ve been looking for a good mobile controller for some time. None that I have tried or looked at have checked all the boxes and the Gamesir G8 Plus Galileo has it’s own shortcomings. With that being said, it strikes a great balance for those looking for a console controller feel. I don’t need to deep-dive into what others have already covered such as the hall effect sticks and triggers. The app leaves a lot to be desired and frankly, I don’t even bother with it. So I’ll just list my personal use case pros.1) It will hold Galaxy S24 Ultra’s and iPhone 15 Pro Max’s without having to take a protective case off. I’ve always put rugged cases on my phones and these two expensive phones are no exception. I have the Otterbox Defender Series on both of these which are the bulkiest cases around. The controller holds them firmly without them wiggling around or feeling like they could fall out. This was flat-out the most important aspect of my purchase because I absolutely HATE taking a phone in and out of cases!2) The controller uses Bluetooth rather than a USB-C connection. Every time I inserted my phone into my Backbone controller, I felt concerned about damaging the port or scratching the phone up. The Bluetooth nature of this controller also has the benefit of allowing me to swap phones out on the fly. After pairing the controller to both phones, I simply press and hold the circle button under the D-pad along with “B” to toggle it to my Galaxy S24 Ultra, or hold the circle button under the D-pad along with “Y” to swap over to the iPhone. It’s really that simple. Note that the controller will stay in whatever mode you last used until/unless you change it.3) The control stick caps are nearly identical to those on a PS5 DualSense controller. They are very responsive. The shoulder buttons (LB, LT, RB, RT) look and feel nearly identical to those found on an Xbox Series controller.4) The handles have a nice curve to them to help them sit comfortably in your hands. I don’t have huge hands, but controllers like the Backbone have very little to hold onto and cause my hands to cramp up in no time, much like trying to game on a Nintendo Switch.5) The rubberized sides that hold your device in-between the grips are slotted. Since most phones have the lower speaker pointing from the bottom of the phone, I was concerned that the sound would be muffled. The slots allow the sound to pass through nicely.As for the negatives…1) No headphone jack. This may be a big deal to some or a non-issue to others. For me, it’s a non-issue as I typically game with either earbuds or my Heavys connected through Bluetooth.2) The aforementioned app is pretty much just meh. I pretty much game by muscle memory with the controller layout and have rarely if ever changed a layout be it on console or mobile. So the buttons being A, B, X & Y instead of Circle, Triangle, Square and X doesn’t really bother me. If you decide to use this controller for a Nintendo Switch, you can swap the buttons out.3) It’s kinda heavy. The controller has quite a bit of heft to it which could tire your hands out depending on how you are sitting, laying, etc. while playing. add a heavy flagship phone in the middle and it gets worse. For all the features and the build quality which is quite good, I don’t really mind but it is something people should be aware of.All in all, I find that this controller is well worth the $80 (current pricing). It’s $20 cheaper than the Backbone controller and $50 cheaper than a comparable Razer controller. There are cheaper options out there but for everything this controller offers, it’s build quality and the fact that it actually holds phones inside Otterbox Defender cases I would definitely recommend it.

Great For Large Tablets
This controller is awesome! Giving it a little nudge forward and back when expanding it very easily stretches to fit even larger tablets than for which it was designed. I have mine on a Samsung S9 Tablet and the hold is strong, and I’ve had no issues with the controller.If you plan to use this with XBox Game Pass, you may need to download additional software to make it recognize it as an XBox compatible controller. Thankfully, this has the ability to also switch between game pad types – emulating a Switch, Android and Playstation.

This is handsdown one of the best if not the best controller for mobile equipments. Even if one game or another have one or two buttons not recognised most of them work as intended witch is already above the “hit or miss” rule of the competition. Quality wise it’s like holding my xbox controller… Battery is awesome, lag non existent…. Mods, rapid fire, comfort… You can’t charge phone while playing cause it’s a Bluetooth device. but you won’t damage socket and you won’t experience lag. Must buy

Bundan önce g8 almıştım. Bluetooth açarak telefonun şarjı azalmasın derken, cihazın USB c bağlantısı ile telefonun şarjından yemesi ayrıntısını göz ardı etmişim. Bilgisayara bağlamak istediğinizde ayrı bir kablo gerektirmesi ve ona bağımlı olmanız da cabası.G8+’da ise Bluetooth yoluyla çoğu yere bağlayabiliyorsunuz. Her ikisinde de hall effect stick’ler var zaten. Oynarken inanılmaz güven veriyor. Dualsense’im iki kez drift hatası verdi ve değişime gitti. Ps5’te korka korka basıyordum. Burada ise asla drift olmayacağını bilmek büyük rahatlık.Malzeme kalitesi de premium bir ürün tuttuğunuzu hissettiriyor. Kauçuk ped, stickler, plastik malzeme…iPhone 16 pro max’imde kontrolcüyü uygulamadan çalıştırdığımda bağlantı sürekli koptu. Uygulamayı kapatıp doğrudan Bluetooth ile bağlanmanızı tavsiye ederim.Sonuç olarak çok iyi bir ürün. Tavsiye ediyorum.
