Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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!

I kept having issues with my Backbone controller, so I Googled to see what Reddit was recommending and this one kept getting mentioned as one of the best. They weren't wrong. Not only was it cheaper than Backbone, it has worked so much better. Plus, when I connect my phone to my TV using an adapter, I can go Bluetooth mode and still emulate from my bed. The grip is super ergonomic as well, at least it is for my big hands. Fits perfectly. Good battery life and I can play while charging. I can't recommend it enough.

Zero stick drift after several months thanks to the type of sticks used. Battery life is at least 10 hours of use still. Only downside is you can charge while extended. Modified the controller with an addon kit for larger tablets and the process was fairly easy (just needed a screwdriver and "spudger" tool. Would like to see replacement rechargable batteries (couldn't locate any from a third party). Overall, great and flexible controller!

The response time is pretty good and its versatility to connect to many devices via Bluetooth is great. The downside is that it can be tough to connect if your swapping between devices. It’s best to wipe it before trying another device. Not impossible but it could use more focus on that with the next generation. It’s absolutely perfect when I am on trips for work.

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.

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

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

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.

Gripe: I’ve had this controller for just a hair over two months. I am a casual user I would say, with less than an hour of use daily. It just fractured on me at the point where the left hand control expands to fit your device. No explicable reason as to why. It’s never been dropped. Pros: Otherwise, it does have great compatibility for virtually every phone with or without a case. The battery lasts an impressive amount of time, and the ability to customize the buttons and sticks is nice. Cons: poor build quality, mediocre direct customer support, no pass through charging ability. The last con was an oversight on my own part for misreading the description prior to purchasing, yet it’s still a con.

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

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

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.

[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’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 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.

Just upgraded to a Razr Fold and this was one of my first accessories. I've tried it before with a regular phone, but the aspect ratio was less than ideal. Now I'm set with my new device. This controller feels pretty good in my large-ish hands. I do wish it had a little more handle length. Sometimes my hands cramp a bit because the handles are a tad short for my hands. Buttons are nice and not too loud. Sticks feel great and their tension is perfect. Bumpers and triggers feel great. Rumble is decent. The LED indicator light is annoying but can be disabled, I believe. I got this on sale and at that price, it's a no-brainer. Regular price? If you're on a foldable, still worth it, but for regular phones, I think the Kishi Ultra feels better in hand.

easy to connect, comfortable, feels nice to use, good

Picked this up to use with a new tablet. It works great, feels nice in my hands. Couple down sides it takes a minute to configure correctly. Bluetooth kept dropping. Occasionally my device slide forward a bit and has popped out of the grip.
