Customer Ratings & Reviews

The GameSir G8+ has a great quality build from its buttons and triggers down to even the HD rumble. It’s very easy to set up and switch between different devices/modes (ex. From nintendo switch to xbox mode). It has a wide range of compatibility being able to connect to PC, IOS, and Android to name the main ones. Overall great product!

Good controller for mobile gaming. Have no issues on cloud games or mobile games. Buttons & sticks feel great. Convectivety is a breeze. Only complaint are the magnets that hold the face covers could be stronger and lack of charging while using. Other than that, great controller. Using it on PC in a pinch is a nice feature as well.

I’m having fun with it hookup with my iPad cheaper than the handheld since I already have a bigger device

I’ve been using this controller to play call of duty mobile. It works really well! Connection to my iPhone 15 was quick. Only snag I had was that it connects via Bluetooth to 2 different names. You can’t just connect to one or the other. It has to be both. Once I got past that it was a breeze. I’m excited to connect it to the switch and try Fortnite with this controller. If your used to Xbox controllers you won’t have any issues using this.

It does work great on a ipad mini and a nintendo switch. Its a little glitchy on the Nintendo with some games but overall works like the controllers the switch comes with. For the money this is a good extra buy and feels more comfortable for people who have bigger hands.

I use the control for my Nintendo switch. The controller fits perfectly in my hands, very comfortable to maneuver. It was also very easy to connect via bluetooth and good battery life. Overall a good buy, I would recommend it.

Ds4 and CoDM compatible= easy purchase. Must buy!!

super since I don't regret buying it I have big hands and it helps a lot

This controller is easy to connect and play instantly. Have to take off case to use effectively.

[Employee of bestbuy] Works great, but I’ve had lots of connectivity issues along with mode switching up often

Awesome way to play mobile. If you’ve tried playing games on your phone you know that it can be clunky. These add on controls are awesome. I will never go back!

I got this during Black Friday and would highly recommend this remote. It connects via bluetooth to my Fold 7 and I play remotely or games directly on the phone. I do primarily play games on Xbox so the placement of the right thumbstick annoys me when having to move between the buttons and the stick. Other than that personal preference, this is a great remote. The buttons work great, the triggers are solid, and I like how the remote feels in my hands. You might even be able to use smaller tablets as the stretchy part pulls a good width apart. If you're really into gaming on your phone this will make it better. Highly recommend.

I’ve been using the GameSir G8+ controller for a while now, and it’s a slick, versatile gamepad that works great with my Switch, iPhone, and Android tablet. It’s got a premium vibe and handles most games like a champ, though it’s got a couple quirks that keep it from being perfect. Pros: Wide Compatibility: Syncs effortlessly with multiple platforms like Switch, iOS, and Android, making it a go-to for all my devices. Hall Effect Joysticks: These sticks are smooth, responsive, and built to last without drift, which is awesome for long-term gaming. Comfortable Design: Feels like an Xbox controller in my hands—sturdy and perfect for longer sessions without cramping up. Bluetooth Convenience: Pairing’s a breeze, and it doesn’t suck my phone’s battery dry; I can even charge while playing. Customizable Features: Swappable sticks and programmable rear buttons let me tweak it to fit how I play. Cons: Occasional Latency: I’ve noticed a tiny bit of input lag in fast games—nothing major, but it’s there. Loose USB-C Jack: My USB-C port wiggles a bit; it hasn’t disconnected yet, but it makes me nervous. Accidental Button Presses: The menu button’s so close to the X button that I’ve hit it by mistake more than once. The price feels fair for what you get—great for casual stuff like Minecraft or Genshin Impact, and Switch owners will love it too. The rumble and extra sticks are cool perks. I’d grab a case if you travel with it, though.

I purchased this controller as it was the most recommended I could gather from various social media reviews. I've only had it for a couple of days, but so far so good. The build quality is excellent. It has a nice textured grip, and all of the button presses resemble your standard Xbox/PS5 feel. It holds my S24+ in place well, though it can not expand to the landscape length of an 11-inch tablet. I love the feature that turns off the device when collapsed, and turns it on when expanded. I haven't downloaded the app, as I've heard some complaints of it disabling the controller. MY one complaint is that the right stick is too low (in my photo, I'm pointing to where the stick would ideally be located), which results in my thumb having to travel a greater distance from the face buttons, and could lead to fatigue after lengthy use. If I can't get used to it, I'll likely look for another product that more-closely resembles the layout of the Dual Sense; tho I hear the quality of that particular unit is subpar. Overall, would recommend.

I purchased this GameSir G8 Plus Bluetooth edition for my Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3. One word to describe this controller: OUTSTANDING! I highly recommend this controller. I have experience no lag what so ever. All buttons and joysticks are highly responsive. Easy set up, and comfortable to use. It's too bad it does come with a case or a GameSir Bag. I highly recommend this controller!!

One of the best mobile controllers ive ever used. Perfectly holds my phone in place and charges fast and pairs with all my everyday controller friendly games

Great feel, amazing comfort, was a little worried about the phone not plugging in but it’s actually much better

[Employee of bestbuy] I will not lie, I was not sure wherever get one of the mainstream controllers such as the Kishi, or try a new experience from a company I barely heard of before such as Gamesir. The G8 Plus blew me away for the quality and price of the product. Not only did I get a controller thats quality, has hall effect and replaceable triggers, I got a tool for my days. Battery life is superb and the fact that there is not port protects a lot in terms of durability, which is the main issue I ran with this controllers. Don't look any further, go with Gamesir G8 Plus! PD: Only get the MFi "ONLY" if you are locked into the Apple Ecosystem. In the games I ran I had no issues but it simply makes it easier to connect and detect, otherwise it will show as a PS controller. And the white is nice.

First off I want to say it is a good product, and if you want it then get it since its the best phone controller I have tested so far. There is something that bothers me about the controller and it is its gap on the left side. The right side is attached to the body of the controller so it feels uneven on the fingers.

I love the feeling of it and the grip on it ,also looks nice. I Had no problems with it
