Q: Why are there interchangeable magnetic faceplates and keycaps?

A: Interchangeable magnetic faceplates and keycaps allow for customization of your gaming setup.

Q: How does the controller connect to different devices?

A: The GameSir G8+ Bluetooth Mobile controller connects to devices using its low-latency Bluetooth connection.

A: Yes, the GameSir App allows for further customization of the gaming experience.

Q: Will this fit a samsung galaxy tab S11? Not the ultra version but the 11 inch one

A: I don’t own that tablet but I don’t think it will fit. However, on Amazon you can buy an extension kit for this controller that will fit just about any tablet and will definitely fit the tablet you are asking about. It allows the controller to split apart much wider for tablets. Hope this helps :)

Q: How does it connect via Bluetooth if there is no battery? And how does it connect via UBS-C if there's no USB-C connector?

A: There are actually batteries inside it, so you will have to charge it at times. But yes there are batteries inside that’s why you don’t have to connect it to anything.

Q: Hello, does the Gamesir G8+ fit the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra?

A: No, it won't fit any of the Tab S Ultra series devices (8, 9, 10, or 11 Ultra). It doesn't open wide enough for those. However, the Gamesir controller connects via Bluetooth so you can just prop your tablet up on a table and play with the controller in your lap.

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!

    Awesome Product For Using On Phone Games

    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.
