Don’t mind me I’m just here for the chad Slavic accent

[@VladNerd]

I appreciate the sentiment my dude, but one correction: Romanian accent. Fully latin-descended nerd right here. 😄

[@ImUrZaddy]

@@VladNerd my bad haha, they sound very similar to me

[@hey01e5]

this telescopic controller is GOATED

[@CutlassCraft]

Looks great! If I didn’t already buy an Odin 2 I’d seriously consider this. The backbone is pretty nice too but this looks so much better!!

[@VladNerd]

The controller really gives me some weird (but nice) vibes, like if an Xbox and a SNES controller shacked up, this would definitely be the result of that. 😄 It's a nice mixture and retro and modern, somehow GameSir pulled it off quite nicely. Also, thanks for becoming a channel member! ❤️

[@CutlassCraft]

@@VladNerd I dig the color scheme too. I grew up with Genesis but always longed for an SNES. Thanks for all the great videos!

[@BeardedYorkshireman]

Only issue I have, is since the last firmware update the sticks are OVER sensitive and there is no way to adjust the sensitivity. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@VladNerd]

I didn't have that tbh, but I think you can adjust that in the Gamesir app. You can find it in the play store, my dude.

[@hyperplayrpg]

Brilliant review. Especially the silicone case tip!

[@Man00ks]

How do you not have 100k subscribers. You’re hilarious and your accent from mother Russia is the cherry on top. Keep up the good work

[@VladNerd]

Thanks, but my accent is fairly typical of Romania / Transylvania (think Dracula, vampires, all that good stuff) 😄

[@Man00ks]

@@VladNerd 😂love it! You rock Vlad

[@oliwek70]

[@kalo8558]

😂😂😂😂 great review brother I loved this. You are truly hilarious. You earned a new sub!

[@salvatorediletto1551]

Great review, as every one I saw from you. Great accent and tone of voice, I would listen to you reading anything 😃now to the real question, I already have a very good gamesir x2 pro, would you recommend upgrading to this? (I saw also your review about the g8+, but i prefer with type c connection)

[@VladNerd]

Thanks a lot, my guy! ❤️ Depends on your needs, really. If you're satisfied with the X2 Pro, there's no reason to. If ergonomics matter to you a loy, then definitely. Personally, I'm a fan of both. :)

[@АнатолийКрысанов-у9г]

What kind of emulator do you have on your phone at the beginning of the video?

[@tomasfabianserrut466]

I'd also like to know

[@ShawnRaz87]

The variable that can change the usability is newer versions of Android and how they always end up screwing over support for older controllers

[@theantianti7]

It actually have a setting "touchscreen only" and it wouldn't matter what software version you're on

[@ObsessedLady]

This is the best controller in the market right now and the best one Gamesir made, even tho I have all of them. I just hate the color 🫠

[@VladNerd]

There IS a cool transparent black one, but they have some rebranding deal with Nubia where (I assume) they leave that color palette to them as an exclusive. (google RedMagic Shadow Blade 2)

[@STR82DVD]

Yeah, I've the X2, X2 Pro and now the G8. Crazy brilliant evolution.

[@BeardedYorkshireman]

I have this and the BackBone and I always come back to the G8 Galileo the limitations are endless.

[@AliXalted]

Is it better then gamevice flex?

[@VladNerd]

@@AliXalted I haven't played with that one, but I'd think it is

[@xiaoyu88]

HEY, how loud are the dpad/face buttons? and the BSP? Which one has buttons like a ps controller, which are soft and quiet? thanks for the review but I need to know before I buy one of them :)

[@raganx7108]

Not over hyping at all since it actually does as you say.

[@vladstark2091]

Price in EU is same for this and Razer Kishi V2** Still looking for controller like this, but compatible with Spigen tough armor case for Galaxy Ultra phones

[@VladNerd]

If you're ok with Bluetooth, they'll release a Bluetooth G8 soon. :)

[@ThomasTheTankEngine22]

My only gripe with it is that it doesn't have the USB c on the left hand side. Makes using foldable phones a little awkward

[@VladNerd]

I think you might just be the target audience for the Gamesir X2S. I have a review on it on my channel, feel free to check it out. :)

[@IEnteredShikari]

I just got mine and noticed that the vibrarion is different on left controller to the right. Left side feels more like a rumble and right side feels more like a spinning feeling. Different frequency/intensity, i guess? Has anyone else experienced this?

[@VladNerd]

That's actually normal. Was puzzled too initially. The Xbox controller had a small rumble motor on the left, and a bigger one on the right (or vice versa). They're (rumble motors) intentionally designed like this, apparently. Don't stress, you don't have a defective controller 🍻

[@shishirpandit6735]

Great review brother! Keep it up

[@VladNerd]

Thanks! Will do!

[@Cmdr.Lilith666]

Betting between Turtle Beach Atom and this.... Thanks a lot, I'll go with G8 definitely 😂🎉

[@VladNerd]

You won't regret it, my guy! It's a marvelous controller. ❤️

[@jesserosas88]

Liked and subscribed. Subscribed for the good humor and content. :)

[@earendurvoneinzbern7585]

I hope this controller works with my hard Spigen phone case. My phone is a Samsung S21 plus. I have a backbone, but the left trigger is broken. Should I propose to and marry this controller?

[@VladNerd]

Tbh, I think you might need a thinner case. But that's a small price to pay for this controller!

[@earendurvoneinzbern7585]

​@@VladNerdThanks!

[@STR82DVD]

The Gold Standard. Brilliant. Thanks lad.

[@tomasfabianserrut466]

What kind of emulator are you using?

[@adityarathee4990]

The vibration in my g8 plus is not stopping its vibrating non stop what to do I am on latest ios version

[@VladNerd]

whoah, that's weird. I'd download the gamesir app and see what I can do form there. Also, make sure you're not accidentally stuck in turbo mode.

[@adityarathee4990]

What is turbo mode and how to switch it off?

[@MTB_FANATIC99]

Does this work with xbox game pass games? I olay nhl24 was either gonns get this or the backbone thanks

[@VladNerd]

I don't see why not, but don't quote me on this.

[@EJPlayz22]

What about the new razer kishi ultra. Is it better than the G8?

[@ghostghostbusters789]

I can't speak from experience, but I will say that looking at the specs for either device, the G8 is a clear winner. It doesn't natively support larger devices, which is the only category that the Kishi Ultra takes for me. Other than that, the G8 has halls effect triggers AND thumbsticks (a step up from the Kishi Ultra with halls effect triggers only), a moving USB-C connection (this has historically been a point of concern for me with all of the Kishi line. The USB-C connection is rigid, and given how the phone goes in, there's always some level of tension on that connection and your phones USB-c port), and all of the buttons are mappable (unsure about the Kishi ultra but the rest of the Kishi line only allows button mapping for the additional M1 and M2 buttons). Barring a HUGE difference in build quality in the Ultras favor, I would and am going with the G8

[@RobnDob]

What’s going on with the gamsir app? Reviews across iOS and android are hating on it. Is this controller still useful without the app? The backbone app with the g8 controller looks the ideal combo.

[@theantianti7]

The app is simple and works great. People prob just don't have patience and don't read directions.

[@Denahli]

On iOS you don't really need the app at all, in fact on iOS it doesn't register it connected at all but it works just fine. The back button mapping works perfect, the only thing is the bottom left buttons don't do anything but I don't really care about game capture

[@GiantMrTHX]

Cool after update it g8 Left Bumper stoped working. Going back to older firmware doesn't fixed the issue. So its bricked.

[@VladNerd]

weird, I never had this. It seems to be more of an issue of dust getting stuck in the left bumper trigger. According to Reddit, you should remove the left faceplate + left joystick and blow air into it.

[@subzero-ku2wx]

The left thumbstick stick range limiter /front faceplate starts to feel gritty after only a few hours of use.

[@VladNerd]

Personally I never had this, but I read / heard about this! I just hope it isn't supper common...

[@chosenfish]

Thnx a lot for the info about case, I was looking for it.

[@tylerbrooks6063]

Same question as a few others -- can you please share what emulator you're using? I'm trying to use Duckstation, but the controls with this Gamesir don't seem to be working on the game I downloaded :(

[@VladNerd]

You have to automap the controller in Duckstation. First though, make sure that your controller makes proper contact with your phone. If the bottom-right doesn't turn on, try it without a case. :)

[@Rz4rect0r]

It's a shame it doesn't actually work in cod mobile / warzone mobile.

[@InigoJavier]

Hello! Can the A/B/X/Y buttons be rearranged in this new console? I believe X2 Pro can.

[@ChiefChorote-gs5tx]

WHY HASNT ANYONE MENTION IF THE 3.5 AUX PORT SUPPORTS TRRS or Is just for TRS!!!

[@emilio1625]

Supports audio and mic. I use discord while I play, also works for steam calls with steamlink, but you cannot change the volume or the pause the music using the buttons from the headset, for the volume you can use the keys in the controller

[@hamidkhan7562]

What case should i get with my phone that i can use this i have a s24 ultra

[@Robo_8]

What's up with the malware on the gamesir app though?

[@VladNerd]

It's not really malware, it's just that there's 2 versions of the app. The one on the play store is ok, but the one on their website asks for all sorts of shady permissions.

[@andrealexander6077]

​@@VladNerd thank you for that information I was worried, I thought about buying the Gamesir G8 Galileo previously.

[@VladNerd]

@@andrealexander6077 check my description if you do 😄

[@miru2583]

the build quality is nice but it's too expensive for me. no rumble, can't use on other stufff like PC, TV, or console, the most deal breaker is the limitation on phone cases.

[@R_W_R_W]

Thank you, Sir!

[@VladNerd]

You bet!

mate, what's the phone you're sporting?

A fairly midrange Poco F5 (it was the best performance to price ratio at the time). It's still a good bang for the buck today, I think (the cameras are super mediocre, though)

[@evd_27]

@@VladNerd I guessed right... Planning to upgrade my 5t. Been a while now since I've been using it. Since release to be exact. Still works excellent. But been wanting to catch up with the newer smartphones and figured it'd be a good replacement.

Is S24 ultra will be fit on this controller?

[@VladNerd]

Yup. And beautifully so, I might add. :)

[@FEBRIZIOtv]

had 2 in 3 weeks and the usb c breaks way to easily. second one from amazon was "new" but still had return label on it and didn't work from the jump. kinda over it. it's amazing but the usbc is a joke and cheap
