Handheld PS5 !!!

This Device turned my phone into a handheld PS5. Originally, I purchased the PS version BackBone but returned due to it being uncomfortable to hold plus the thumbsticks were too small! Purchased the Gamevice Flex and it was one of the best decisions I've made! It feels so great in hand! The first day I got it, I played with it for 5 hours straight and have been using it every day since! I even beat Cyberpunk 2077 using this. I would definitely recommend this controller to anyone who's interested in mobile/remote gaming!

excellent mobile controller. if you have an iphone, in a case, and are looking for a mobile gaming solution, this is it. wired connection, pass through charging & headphone jack, easy on the hands, real thumbsticks, and my pro max (in a case) fits like it was made to go together. only gripe is that it has started to disconnect randomly, but there was just an ios update so it might be a software thing an update will fix. fingers crossed!

This thing has better quality than the backbone and more quiet than an Xbox controller. My wife thought i bought a whole now system and she was impressed it was my phone.

Best iPhone 14 pro controller at the moment

Title said it all pretty much, things I like about this one over the backbone is the customization with phone cases is something they went above & beyond with which I'm thankful for, also backbone went with the Nintendo switch style analogs which am not a fan of & flex is better on that front. In my opinion flex is the best game controller atm for the new iPhones!

A comfortable portable experience

Portable gaming that’s more comfortable than the Switch. I’ve mainly been using the Flex for PS Remote Play and despite the face buttons being mirrored to an Xbox controller, the UI in the iOS specific Flex app catering to cloud gaming and the relative easy use of GamePass I can honestly say it’s an enjoyable experience all around. The analog sticks feel nice and similar to a console controller while the dpad is not too soft while being accurate. The best part is the Flex is designed to be used with your phone case on. Not having to remove my phone case every time I want to game is really amazing and the sole reason I’d recommend this over the Backbone.

Wanted a controller to use without having to take off my case while also having buttons that weren’t super loud and this fit perfectly. Feels like an Xbox controller and is comfortably snug on my iPhone 14 pro with MagSafe case.

This thing is soooo cool. Totally recommend for iPhone users. Comes with adapters that keep your phone from wobbling. The pain bites is far better than the back bone.

This is just like the Razor Kishi 1, just 2 extra bottoms. I got this new and what I noticed was the RB bottom has a slight lag on it; when press it wasn’t smooth like the other bottoms (LB). I had an issue with the Kishi once with the RB bottom and unfortunately I didn’t bought the insurance on it, with this product you don’t have the option to get it insured. One last thing about this controller, the adapters that go inside so your phone fits are so hard to remove once you put one in. I struggled with one trying to pull it out cause when I used the guide it told me the adapter would be good for it; unfortunately it wasn’t and had to get it out.I think this controller has potential, but not for that price; it’s not worth it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Best Phone Controller. Period.

There is a lot to be said about this device. It is the only telescopic controller that advertises support for cases. Install is easy, and it comes with many different inserts for the various phone and cases sizes. No battery required as it hooks directly into the lightning port. An added bonus of this is that there is zero latency for input. My inly gripe is the app is lackingany real functionality or purpose. The good news is that the app is not necessary for the controller to function. Definitely recommend this!

An absolutely fantastic controller

This is a fantastic game controller, and the only one that works with your phone in a case! Being able to keep your phone in its case, while a seemingly small thing, is actually quite a huge deal, as it makes connecting the controller significantly easier, and your phone can still be protected by its case. All of the buttons have a great feel, and the overall design is quite comfortable

It works great. It fits my iphone 12 perfectly with a case on. It is super simple to clip on. It very comfortable and in my opinion has some of the best dual sticks (on par with xbox/ps5 controllers). Buttons are great too. Only minor thing is the position of the select button which is above the dpad. It is a little odd but otherwise perfect controller.
