The Gamesir G8 controller is nice way to play games on your Android phone. It feels good in your hands and the buttons work really well. You can plug your phone straight in, so there's no lag when you're playing.
It fits most phones, though if you use a case you may need to remove it to get the USB C port to plug in in. My usual case would not fit but using a simple clear case worked just fine.
I used it exclusively with PlayStation Remote play and the buttons mapped perfectly without me have to adjust any settings.
The one downside to this controller is the gamesir companion app it is not the most intuitive and not updated frequently as it still features Statia Games even though Google has shut down the service.
Overall, it's a good choice if you want a comfy way to play on your Android on the go.

I have to say that I love the looks of this. It reminds me of the Super Nintendo controller format, with the colors of the button. It really brings back good memories. It also works great with my IPhone, with any issues. The weight on the controller is also good and doesn't feel light. The joycons and button have a good grip and don't feel slippery at all.

It feels and looks like a console controller, works with a small case, has excellent button mapping via their app, and is reasonably priced.
I'm quite pleased with the PS, Android, and G-Touch modes for all types of gameplay. This is also compatible with Steam Link so I can play my desktop games on my android device, I had a blast playing Ace Attorney in the comfort of my bed.
Overall, this is an amazing product with great controls, and the button feel is good, and many games are compatible with it.

This product works awesome! Whike i do wish it worked with a case, i love that the usbc jack is on a hinge so you dont have to worry about breaking it when plugging in your phone. Had a really great grip on my phone and i wasnt worried about it going anywhere. The app was easy to instal and use as well!

Great controller, has amazing joystick feel and the buttons are a little clicky and can be loud if there is no background noise. The main problem is the one I currently have doesn’t charge while playing, the usb-c port at the bottom doesn’t charge the phone while plugged in and is really loose.

Great product and works well with my iPhone. I like this product better than my backbone which broke because of a issue with stretching it out to fit your phone, making certain buttons non-functional.

Bought this for BO6 while travelling. Had some controller issues. I couldn't get the controls to work properly. If you need it to fit a phone with a case, try a Backbone gen2.
