I will buy this controller forever! As long as gamesir stays dynamic like the controller industry itself, and always evolves along with the new feature sets being introduced as devices evolve, if they keep up with the times.. I’ll be here to buy. This is the best controller I’ve had. One controller for all my devices My iPad, My iPhone, My PC. I’m impressed by these ridiculous levels of compatibility, you only press two buttons to get it to sync with the device you want it to play on, it syncs insanely fast - I love it! I got rid of my wireless Xbox controller. I still can’t believe this controller exists. It feels real good in the hands, like it carries durability in its bones. Some nice weight to it, not heavy, not light.. your hands don’t get tired from holding it. I can tell, due to how it was designed, it has counter balance which allows you to play super long without that discomfort that comes from most controllers I have used, aside from this… It feels real premium in your hands, it’s a masterpiece in game controller design in my eyes. I never knew, I would fall in love with a game controller. (to me, that’s crazy) but here I am, in love actually reaching for this damn thing to put in my bag or take to bed (I’ve never actively and enthusiastically reached for a controller attachment to my devices) it was always in mind “that one more thing Inneed to carry” and since it fell in that mindset, I never reached out for them. This one though, the mindset is.. I love you, so I reach out for it. But, in my case.. every controller I’ve had prior to this G8+, was uncomfortable, because of how unergonomic they are (ever find yourself holding your controller above your head to play your games at times because of shoulder or arm discomfort?) Yea.. stuff like that is what I’m referring to, those game controller designers must had not taken into account everything attached to our hands (arms and shoulders) which leads to the fatigue and discomfort and now here you are, with the controller above your head, playing the game. Luckily, Gamesir G8+ designers figured this out. This controller has a good enough width from left to right, to where, it sits in the ergonomic comfort zone, meeting me.. exactly at my shoulder length (therefore, my shoulders are not hunching in when playing) My shoulders now naturally stay aligned when playing my games.. which is how it should be, not the other way around — compressed to accommodate the controller. Impressive design when I sat and thought about it. No controller I’ve had, had provided me this level of comfort (and I’ve had many controllers from all game consoles and many third parties) Playing while sitting down or laying down, both orientations are super comfortable. At first, my thumb kept hitting the right analog stick (since the buttons are placed above it) I thought this would be an issue. I am aware, I can remove the stick and put it back on later, but that becomes tedious real quick! Luckily, after playing awhile, my hands must have gotten used to the feeling? Because it no longer bothers me, like it did when I first started using it. I guess maybe one day or two of gaming, acclimated my sensory to accept it. Cool - we move on. I mostly play Fighting Games, Soul Calibur, Dark Souls, Pascals Wager, Splinter Cell, Metal Gear Solid, Fight Night. These are all intense several button engagements interactions… especially the fighter games.. The control does not lag, I have not experienced stick drift and the d-pad is SOLID! I’m impressed by the how instant it is. No lag. I have no idea what goodi they used, but this thing has no lag! I’m over here doing long combo strings and parrying attacks, with virtually any lag on a wireless controller. (Which is my way of playing) It’s very easy to use and set up. If you have issues just ask chat GPT, it will guide you. I had issues the first time (totally my fault) Insint do my usual (watch YouTube videos of setting up) So I failed to recognize that each device will get an existing game company platform (pseudo name) Shock 4, Pro Controller.. etc. so I was confused here. I expected it to say iPad, iPhone.. and in my confusion, somehow, someway, it was connecting my iPhone but connecting to my iPad, to fix it - long story short — (I had to ask chat gpt) it told me, I had to hold in the reset button in the bottom of the controller by the usb c, and this will reset the pseudo name and now your device will connect to it. This was the only issue I’ve had and it was my fault. Also if you find your controller doing rapid fire (which happens to me) just hold in the (m button) on the bottom left and it will turn off all the rapid fire. I somehow must be turning out rapid fire at times when I’m playing my fight games since my fingers Al over the place with the combos. This controller is a masterpiece! There’s a reason it’s hitting on YouTube reviews. Buy it, enjoy it, watch YouTube videos to know how to connect it on first try and not have issues on like me.

One of the best controllers if not the best controller I have ever owned. I bought this originally just to play Xbox streaming gaming thinking it couldn’t be better than backbone which I was debating with. I already own a Lenovo legion go gen 1 but I wanted something that was compact and I could take anywhere with just my iPhone…perfect. I am still new to the streaming service Xbox offers and before it wasn’t that good on my PC or the Lenovo legion. But with the gamesir, my Xbox ultimate sub, my iPhone 17pro max it turns into a gaming console with ease. I have taken this several places in the last few weeks and have no issues steaming or lag with the controller or the Xbox streaming service. I own a Xbox series S at home as well by the way but on trips I’ve taken or at work when I have an urge to play man this is amazing. It’s a tad small to play on my IPhone but it works regardless but I thought hmm what about my IPad mini? Boom popped it on the gamesir and bam! Even better a larger screen and it runs sooooo much better than my Lenovo legion and and not as heavy and I can game long periods of time without issues I love it! My hands don’t get tired, no lag again and no problems or joy drift from the controller it’s amazing experience! The only thing I will comment that can be difficult is switching between my iPhone connection and my iPad mini connection. I cannot have it connected to both devices without it immediately connecting to my iPhone first versus my iPad mini. So I have to either in sync one or the other. Otherwise no issues! Battery life is incredible, it feels amazing in the hands, my hands don’t go numb from hours of play, buttons and sticks are fluid and cozy.

Overall this is a solid controller. Feels good in the hand, well built, buttons and thumbsticks feel good, d-pad feels great (microswitches). Some connectivity issues do happen from time to time, but it's relatively easy to reset the controller to get things connected. I use this as a bluetooth controller for emulation on android. Main issues are: poor instructions, proprietary software to leverage the R4 and L4 buttons and program macros (I frankly do not use the software as it's from China and requires far too much permissions and data for my comfort - so if you're looking to use these buttons I'd look elsewhere), bluetooth latency, and some inconsistency with connecting to or switching to multiple devices. Some games I hardly notice the latency, others it's quite apparent, but I think this is just the way bluetooth generally works so it's not necessarily a fault in the design. I do wish it had the ability to connect via USB-C without a cable, but that's very clearly not in the design so I'm not going to knock it too hard for that.

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.

Virtually perfect. Ergonomics are great (might be cramped if you have larger than normal hands), sturdy, tight grip, excellent build quality, and connected to my iPhone 16 Pro Max no problem. Connecting it to the iPad is easy if you know ahead of time that you have to put the controller in Switch pairing mode and then it’ll show up on the iPad as “Pro Controller.” Connect to that and you’re good to go. Battery life is fine. Also, I’ve tested it on multiple different games across my two devices and have noticed zero latency whatsoever. All in all, great value.

To save some people the trouble, I thought I'd write a review addressing my experience with this controller. As my title states, the USB C jack was bad. In my case the actual connection between the cable and the jack was fine, it was the whole jack assembly, that moved around inside the controller. I use mobile controllers on my PC and always with a wired connection. The loose connection would frequently cause rapid disconnect and reconnect constantly until I moved the jack around, but sometimes it wouldn't really be a full disconnect so the controller would constantly send whatever signal was input until the jack was moved. This means if you were having your character walk slowly forward, when the issue happens they keep walking forward and you have to quickly realize that's happening, and move the jack around before your characters walks off a cliff or into a boss room you weren't ready for. Note that removing and reconnecting the USB C cable did nothing. It was only when the jack was moved that the issue stopped temporarily. I did not abuse the item in any way, it seriously did this out of the box, and it was new and sealed, this was not a used or warehouse item. To be fair something like this, I hope is just a one off defect, but I've seen some reviews on other controllers from this manufacturer that stated there were some issues with both wired and wireless connections and I did not want to take the chance. I was actually very sad I had to return this because outside of the issue causing the controller to randomly stop working, it was VERY good. The hall effect sticks are night and day levels of difference compared to any other sticks I've used. Very hard to find on a quality controller and this was SO close. Outside of this my other issues with the controller were more personal preference regarding button placement. The "menu" button (the one with "+" on it) on the right side of the controller is too close to the "x" button. It doesn't look like it from the pictures, but it's very close and very easy to accidentally press "x" while trying to press it. Ideally I prefer for these buttons to be placed between the joystick and the "abxy" section, and likewise on the left side, between the joystick and the d-pad. The other thing I don't like but this is 90% of the aftermarket controllers right now, is the programmable buttons on the handles. I've never had an issue with paddles that sit in BETWEEN the handles, but the ones actually ON the handles, I've never found to be in the right places for my hands and overall it's annoying to have accidental presses when handling the controller in general. These should really be moved to the back of the center of the controllers. It's possible I'm the only one that doesn't like this common placement location, but I feel like I can't be the only one. The item overall seems to be of good quality, it's just the USB C jack, which I suspect a lot of people will not use, but I'm not sure if that may cause issues with charging, which people WILL use. If gamesir can fix the issue with the jack, I'm sure a lot of people will love this controller. I wish I could give a higher rating but a bad data/charging jack, is just not acceptable.

THIS THING IS AWESOME! THIS THING IS AWESOME! If you are a mobile gamer - the GamSir G8+ is for you! This thing is snappy quick, stupid easy to set up, and feels ergonomically PERFECT in the hand! The buttons and sticks are of expert quality and makes mobile gaming what I have always dreamed it COULD be! The battery when fully charged is lore than adequate and easy to charge with a type C.

My goal was to find a controller that will feel comfortable like an Xbox controller, but for my OnePlus12 phone, with the big camera bump, but I refuse to compromise and ditch my Spigen case. So this controller is actually not bad at all but there are a few things I want to highlight, and I'm going to skip the stuff that they already have advertised on their product description. -Firstly, it feels well built and you can tell it's premium quality parts. -The battery life is great,no complaints at all. -People generally want USB-C connection for lag free gaming but I found no lag with the Bluetooth connection. -The molding for the controller that would rest in your palm when your holding it, on both sides feels good but the compact sizing takes away from the "full size" controller feel. So in essence the right thumb stick feels too close to the buttons. Not a big hand friendly feel. Small hands will be fine, or anyone who's able to get past that key difference. -the depth of the device slot or phone cradle needs to be a central focus for gamesir and also the edges where the phone touches. A slight increase in the depth to accommodate for thicker cases with corner grips, raised retaining lips that slightly extend over the edges of the phone would help with providing a secure and snug fit to prevent it from slipping while ensuring the end user doesn't have to remove their phone case. Even if they have a phone with a large camera bump, like I do. -The app for Android is terrible and needs a redesign and update, and they should include more games from the play store so people know the games they game play it with. The controller is honestly amazing and as much as I want to keep it, I can't. Gamesir has everything right going for it with the g8 plus except what I mentioned. Because of the highlights I've pointed out, I've decided to go with the Elo Vagabond controller. That controller has the depth for the phones device slot and full size, normal controller feel. But not even Elo Vagabond has it all right either. Their app sucks and their controller's passthrough charging needs to be improved with quicker charging speeds. Also the Vagabond controller doesn't feel as premium as Gamesir's g8 plus. I really do hope Gamesir sees my review and takes my critiques under careful consideration when designing their next g8. I genuinely think they have what it takes to dominate in this market.
