I play claw so this controller actually seems like the first one i have seen that doesnt look like a chore for my hands. The button mapping is crucial for me as i swirth the L1 R1 with the L2 R2 buttons so i can keep my middle finger as my trigger finger and base for claw. Most of these companies forget that mlbile users often switch from a touchscreen 3 or 4 finger claw set up And will probably bring that over to a claw set up on controller. Great review

[@drunkpaulocosta9301]

Also the swappable sticks and longer options 🤌🤌🤌 Doesnt just benefit FPS games. But driving games too. Its not a wheel. But the longer stick in racing games is a must. Allows you to bang your sensitivity up and gain more finer control in cornering. Also helps with claw depending on your hand size

Will the Gamesir G8 fit & work on a Samsung s20 fe 5g smartphone?

[@chamith256]

10:06 this controller does not have the xInput mode. that is just android mode. button layout is same. if you connected this controller to a pc, it does not recognize as xinput(Xbox) controller.

[@AndroidAddicts]

My bad - thanks for pointing that out 💚

[@Innovate-pq9ci]

Really nice. I also like using Geforce Now because the graphics are much better than running natively (e.g. Genshin Impact in 120fps and 4K resolution downscaled)

[@AndroidAddicts]

Thanks! Yeah I do love GeForce Now - sadly I've got so many other subscriptions I had to cancel mine but I did see Genshin running like that and it was amazing! 😍

[@maimaibiri9045]

I was looking for a good value telescopic controller, was thinking of kishi v1 or used v2 or used backbone, I live in a small city and I have watched this controller on ETAprime few months back, and lo and behold someone was selling this on my area for 60 cad, yes 60 cad not usd, orignally 80 but I ask for 60 I was still gonna get it but was surprised he let it go for 60, as for the quality and features of this device? damn this is nothing I expected, if only genshin damn supports controller, but with other games this works well specially with native supported games, the mode selector is a big plus too, this thing feels really premium, too bad iphone14 isnt usb-c. but oh well I just wanted this thing for genshin but I have been enjoying other android games with this.

[@AndroidAddicts]

Sounds like you got yourself a bargain! Yeah it's a solid feeling controller I agree. Genshin works fine with the Gamesir App as long as you don't mind using that - a bit clunky but does the job once you remember what key combos are where👍

[@maimaibiri9045]

@@AndroidAddicts Yup, one of the best deal I have, the gamesir app is really clunky, I dont think its the app, I am guessing there are limits to screen presses? but yeah I love this thing.

[@AndroidAddicts]

I think I know what you mean - I believe it's if you press the screen to use a touch control quicker than finding the right key combination (or if there is no mapping set) - you then have to press something on the controller twice for it to re-register that you're using it rather than the touch screen. Hopefully that makes sense. But yeah that is an annoyance. It's only a software problem though so hopefully they'll improve things in the next update

@@AndroidAddicts thanks for replying man,

[@DrMaxCoytus]

Does this support Xbox Remote play or just Gamepass?

[@AndroidAddicts]

Yes it certainly does support Remote Play. You can see in the timecodes where I'm playing Rocket League (badly and with network lag)

[@DrMaxCoytus]

@@AndroidAddicts just to be clear - it supports playing games you own on your Xbox console away from your Xbox console. I only ask because Microsoft support told me I need a Bluetooth controller for Remote Play (but not Gamepass)

[@AndroidAddicts]

It 100% does indeed 👍 I presume the Microsoft support representative didn't really know what a USB-C controller was or something

[@user-bk9fk2jj9x]

LB and RB not working on s24U do you have solution for this?

[@AndroidAddicts]

Are you in Android mode? Try holding down the A button when turning on the controller

[@user-bk9fk2jj9x]

@@AndroidAddicts I've tried it and only LB works

[@AndroidAddicts]

Try installing this and seeing if they work inside this app: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.elron.gamepadtester&hl=en&gl=US If not you might have a faulty controller so I'd get it replaced with a new one.

[@belgacemhadded2784]

Did you tried it with s24plus

[@AndroidAddicts]

Yes I did (worked perfectly)

[@belgacemhadded2784]
