almost every time I look up something I need help with, your channel pops up.Everything you do is awesome

[@fatefulcoma]

I have the weepad version 1 and it works pretty much the same way. Thankfully it is pretty portable and works great for emulation. When you connect using the app it remembers what mod you used last so I am always leaving it in classic mode as I too use it for emulations using Redream. I would like to upgrade as I would love to see if I can make my phone into a PC.

Hey ETA, great video! I've had this controller for about a year now and use it exclusively for playing emulators via RetroArch on my Android phone. I just sync it up and start playing immediately in RetroArch, works flawlessly, don't have to switch around any X and D input modes in any third party app. Not sure what the problem is that you're having.

[@jhrajgor]

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. I was debating between wee2 and saitake; now I know which one I prefer :-)

[@anounymosgamer]

Watching your video(s) is like an addiction man, it compels me to buy the stuff you're reviewing

[@CurtMudgeon]

I was interested in this controller as well. I'm gonna go for the Shitake though. I have the iPega 9087s right now and am not very happy with it. I made riser pads on mine with electric tape so the phone fits perfectly and there is no bend at all. This also keeps the phone snug when in portrait mode. Thanks for the video.

[@danglup9587]

i already have it, and is the best controller, 80 hrs of battery life with a single charge is just insane, also the build quality is superior if you compare it with the ipega 9087 or the Daqi m1

This is one of the best review of this product. I salute you man! Please have some review of this controller which focus more on emulator

I bought the Wee2 a while back and all I did was paired it. Never downloaded the app, any kind of update, or even charged it and mine immediately booted up into Xinput.

[@crystalchaos462]

Thanks for this one! I'm still unsure which I should get though. Maybe I'll order both haha

[@Magi_Carp_]

I got both, you can't go wrong with either one. if you got big hands, definitely go for the saitake.

[@artanthonyenao4158]

it does resembles the ipega which also makes your smartphone look like a switch...

Hands down, the IPEGA 90-87 is the best thing I've bought in 2019 gaming-wise.

Love your videos man, great work. Any chance you can do a video for mapping PS4 controllers to Dolphin on Android? Or a series of videos showing us your controller configurations on different emulators? I'm new to the retro gaming scene and your videos have helped a lot. Thanks!

[@diegoweb900]

1:20 the C and Z button can be mapped to work as L3/R3 buttons :D. Mine always start in Classic Mode, but it requests me to "activate" the controller, which is basically plug-in the controller via cable with the controller off, and then turn the controller ON (your android device needs to have usb debug on). As soon as the controller turns on with the cable plugged in, a popup will show up requiring you to press OK to allow the controller to map the buttons with the touch screen. That's basically it. The only down side is this. Every time you reboot your device it will require you to redo this process of activation. If you don't reboot, you will only use the ON/OFF switch from the controller, it will pair automatically in classic mode pre-activated.

[@Balkan_game]

Excellent guide !!!! Any Android gamepad makes sense for PSP , PS Vita and PS2 games !!!! I like to play Android games on touch controls !!!!

[@eu.pedroleon]

i like to play marvel vs capcom with d'pad controllers ... which of they you recommend buying for this kind of game? if it works on PC too ... it will be wonderful!

[@your_virtuoso]

This is beautiful. Thanks for sharing

[@felipegcs]

Hi! which of all the android controllers that you have tested is the best in your opinion for fighting games? I have a Ipega 9017, for plataformers and speccy games is very good, and it's very small, but it sucks if you try to make shoryukens.

[@BalkanDixie]

I don't know what you did, but my Wee 2 is in the Classic/X mode every time I connect it. You didn't mention the "Flash Play" feature. Controller will connect with the phone in a second. And you didn't mention mappable C an Z buttons. This is a perfect controller for emulation.

[@kikeminchas]

Same here... and indeed, C and Z can be mapped in Retroarch or whichever emulator to Hotkeys and perform exactly the same functions L3 and R3 would do...

[@nhutchins]

How have you guys got the Z/C buttons to work in RetroArch? That's the only thing I haven't got working with this controller. Always wanted to use them as save/load state hotkeys.

[@Rodox2k10]

ETA PRIME, lemme ask you something. You've been stating the Saitake 7007 controller (the one you own from Beboncool, if I'm not mistaken) is your favorite. I owned one previously, which I bought from Amazon. The two things I didn't like for a $40-ish controller is that #1 shoulder buttons are digital and #2 the Right Stick placement is very low. It can be annoying to play a game that requires the right stick for hours, because I have huge hands and to reach it with my thumb was a dealbreaker for me over time. So I'm looking for something that's like the Saitake I mentioned, only with the sticks placed up or a little far from the edge of the controller. What do you recommend?

[@razielnajeraperez7933]

Daim bro.. your voice.. thought it was a commercial.. lol.. 👍👍

[@seanjis007]

I wonder how it plays with RIVAL CRIMSON x CHAOS and REVOLVE8. ForceArenaElite leader here. Love your channel

[@franciscobutte]

I have this and the SFC30 Pro with the xtander to clip the phone. By far two best Android and multipurpose controllers out there. Wee 2 support big phones like the Galaxy Note 9 too and it have a very nice built quality. Nice review as always ETA!

[@ImUnderTheBed]

One of the reasons I "upgraded" from this to the ipega 9083 was because this doesn't fit my Note 9 unless I take the case off of my phone.

[@neoku84r.p.g93]

Well the S10+ fit in this controller And will it play super mecha champions ? And do you have any recommendations for controllers like that that will fit the Samsung Galaxy S10 plus.

[@Zanzula1245]

I had the Beboncool Saitake but recently I considered getting this instead of getting another Saitake what do you recommend

[@feralcyborggaming1531]

All that and a bag of chips. I think it's just what I need.

[@jacklihk]

Hi ETA PRIME. I've been watching your channel since pokemon go. Learned a lot from you. I actually got 3 types of these Flydigi controllers. 1 is the original Flydigi Wee, one is the Wee 2, and another is Flydigi APEX. They all work great. I think you really have to show the audience about it's the biggest advantage, which is it works with your iPhone. With its Flashplay technology, you can use it to play literally every game in the app store. No jailbreak is needed. The only downside is that you have to map each game individually. I have been searching for a good controller for IOS and Flydigi sure takes my NO.1 spot. You might want to also explain that what this Flashplay does is, actually mimic your finger touch on the screen, which gives you a lot of customization. I don't know how they do that, but it is really a great way to play games. Especially the APEX controller, it is shaped like an XBOX controller with a clamp, so it will fit even more phones.

[@itshugh6750]

Nobody in emulation land cares about ios.

[@brianl.7917]

What happened to your video on the STK 7007x? I watched it, bought one, realized it was a nightmare to set up I went back to find that video and it's gone. User removed apparently. What's up with that?

[@muhammadsyahbana849]

Ask. Can u use analog from gamepad(running) and touchscreen(fire) same time? I have promblem with my wee 2t on honkai impact 3. Im using atk from touchscreen but analog from gamepad locked

[@BalkanDixie]

Hey I have an idea. When you change to Classic mode, on the app, right bottom corner press Account, then Quit App. Maybe then it will save your previous controller settings. Or try Settings on the app, and then Reset, or something. Hope you solve it out.

[@user-se1ro4sy4z]

and if the choice between these controllers is determined by the comfortability and quality of the D-pad (it's form doesn't matter in my case), then which of these two is better?

[@Sevarrius]

It looks almost identical to an ipega Red Knight 9087s. Form factor is nearly identical with some minor changes, button and thumbstick placement is identical bar the two extra rectangular buttons they've put in place of the Home button on the ipega. Heck even the placement of the screws on the back is identical. To be fair this is china so there's a pretty good chance they both come out of the same factory in Shenzhen. Got to say I do like the inclusion of a full USB port and the adapter on this. Not sure if or what I'd use it for but it's nice to have. Think I'll stick with my ipega for now cause there's no point in getting another gamepad that's almost identical in form and function. On the plus side for the Ipega, it does have L3 and R3 wheras the WEE 2 doesn't. But I will keep this in mind if my ipega ever breaks or stops working because the PSP/PS Vita form factor is definitely my preferred choice over the standard controller design of most of these gamepads.

[@Magi_Carp_]

that's weird, I just followed the steps on the instruction paper, there's one for connecting it to the phone with just bt and another with the app. never had to install the app (I believe it connected with x-input since I can navigate the phone and I dont even have the app) and it works flawlessly with dolphin, ppsspp, damon, and redream.

[@Wan-vo4cr]

I believe u only need the app for mobile game like pubgm and codm

[@dailydoseofeverything7141]

can you test the wine emulator on android? i can't find anyone who tested it

[@scoobytim129]

Did you have to allow USB debugging for standard mode to work? As I did and you never mentioned it, just wondering.

[@usernameRika]

What about vertical mode? Can it hold the phone? There are a gazillion shmups out there on android.

[@jomelvinuya5600]

I love that fydigi made their own mapping app to support their gamepads

[@alexvenegas5253]

I loved the saitake controller but I started to experience drift from the left analog. Gonna invest in Xbox one s controller.

[@RitzyBusiness]

I am planning on buying one of these for steam remote play on my phone. My concern is how do the analog sticks compare between these devices. Ive tried the phone clip with my ds4 but it is way too top heavy to play comfortably.

[@SweetSourPickle]

Also, I see you touched the screen to open a crate, couldn't you assign a button on the controller for that?

[@angelgraysanderson6644]

It's nice 👍 But I like the one which has the dpads on it already

Nice review! I've heard lots of good things about this controller. I do have an Xbox controller, what mapping software do you suggest? That is one of the reasons I'm looking at the Flydigi, cause the mapping software avail on Android is pretty sucky. =

[@HelmutKohlrabi]

I prefer the phone clip for the 8Bitdo S*30 Pro, the controller is well made and so is the clip.

[@matescel]

Hey ETA look for Daqi M1 controller for a better variant of this (L3 R3, no tricky app, better sticks etc)

[@iristan4917]

For anyone who have this. Controller, how long it took for yours to charge and did you use the charging cable, what voltage? As mine won't charge I have tried different USB cable to charge.

[@guardiangibbs2663]

Do you have a recommendation for a 7 inch tablet? With a 8.5 inch width, its too wide for these controllers. I thought about just getting a 8bit duo sf30, but I do like this style of controller, they just don't fit.

[@nahu3force]

Are the saitake sticks good? Do they have good deadzone?

What do you think of the PXN P30?

[@teli4181]

Using it now, awesome controller. I only wish the headphone jack was more accessible with this type, if I want to connect headphones I have to move my phone up halfway. It still holds it that way and is playable, just makes it a bit awkward and needs readjusting sometimes. ROG phone 2 is solving that problem, I'm planning to upgrade to it next.

[@WarrenCBennett]

I'm not sure why your controller isn't booting in classic mode, but mine flydigi wee 2 has always booted up that way. I actually have to jump through a few hoops to get it in 'flash' mode. I tried it once but went back to classic mode since it works with all the games I play on the phone such as fortnite and Minecraft. Makes my phone feel like a PSP or Vita, which I like.

Absolutely. Since these controllers are universally operable with your mobile devices ( essentially speaking) you have far more value than a stand alone gaming unit. Go pick up one and it will fit your needs. Especially if u have even a decent mobile device. I personally bought 3 and gave one to my cousin in Jamaica so he can play retros
