The Gamesir G8 Galileo is hands down one of the best controllers that I've ever had my hands on. It feels crazy good in the hands, even though I was very quick to dismiss it initially. I'm so glad that I didn't.

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

[@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!

[@InigoJavier]

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

[@ErniePlayz22]

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

[@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) 😄

which phone are you using?

[@hey01e5]

this telescopic controller is GOATED

[@jesserosas88]

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

[@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.

[@raganx7108]

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

[@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...

[@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. ❤️

[@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. :)

[@koni313]

what is that app on the phone at 9:10 ? can someone tell me what app or OS that is ?

[@VladNerd]

It's Beacon Launcher. I have a review on it on my channel, feel free to check it out. :)

[@koni313]

@@VladNerd ah yeea i found the video ... sadly its only a launcher and doesnt have all emulators in it .... im searching for a all in one that have a nice launcheer and a emulator for all retro consoles like NES/SNES or gamboy and works nice.... but thanks for the nice videos :)

[@VladNerd]

@@koni313 you can add any emulator you want in there, it's pretty open as a frontend. :)

[@ImUrZaddy]

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

[@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

[@VladNerd]

Idk my guy, I never had a problem with this. I am very careful with how I slide it in and out of the usb-c, though. :)

[@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

[@evd_27]

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

[@VladNerd]

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.

[@petarmiloradovic5374]

Can the dpad be switched with an xbox elite one?

[@VladNerd]

Honestly, I have no idea. Never tried it. :)

[@petarmiloradovic5374]

@@VladNerd can you try? It would be amazing cuz the joysticks and triggers can be swapped, the ayxb buttons too

[@STR82DVD]

The Gold Standard. Brilliant. Thanks lad.

[@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.

[@ianerrolserapio5913]

Hope you notice me sir, is it battery consuming?

[@VladNerd]

Ofc I notice you, my dude. :) Honestly, I noticed no difference whatsoever. I think all these usb-c controllers sip very little battery from the phone.
