The BackBone One is often considered the best iPhone controller available, but the new GameSir X2 Lightning is here to challenge the throne; it's $30 cheaper and works with thin iPhone cases. So which one is my favorite iPhone controller?

@@RetroGameCorps I have the iPega Red Knight, and I have exactly this problem with my phone LOL. Ended up buying another telescopic controller.

the problem with the case is not that it doesn't fit in the controller it's that the physical lightning/usb connector would literally not be able to reach all the way inside the phone due to the cases thickness hence why some thin cases still work. if they made the connector longer then yes it would fit but it would obviously be unstable for the phone when not in a case. i thought this was obvious smh.

Yeah, the backbone doesn’t allow cases. But just like the controllers, the case is an optional accessory. And I’ve seen enough ppl around without cases for their phones. The backbone one has a better over all premium feel and you are definitely getting you’re money’s worth. Also you’re going to want to take the case off after a few minutes anyway because of the rapid battery use from overheating. So yeah. Backbone one all the way. 😬✌️

Not even a blip on my radar. I might be 100% accustomed to avoiding the right analog stick since so many of my devices and controllers are set up like this, I just angle my right hand a bit so that the thumb doesn't touch the button. But I have medium-sized hands, so if they have larger hands that could definitely be an issue.

Too bad it doesn't have a Switch emulator, the whole point of paying more for the GameSir on Android is to get the emulator.

Gamesir has a history of abandoning their products . The X2 gamepad is MFI for now , but Gamesir will abandon it like they did in the past with many of their other products , which means the X2 will not work with later versions of IOS . Just save enough money to buy the Backbone , it's a superior gamepad compared to the Gamesir anyway in term of build quality and long term support .

could you update retroarch to 1.9.8 on your ios emulation tutorial guide yeah i know i know you gonna say it doesn’t have the mupen 64 plus next core but guess what i was able to inject mupen 64 plus next core to retroarch 1.9.8 (ios) basically bringing it back to newer version but why didn’t the older version work just fine i hear you ask well 1.9.8 version is newer which also come with newer version of every core inside it which may have bugfix/performance improvements which maybe completely missed from the 1.9.0 (but can’t you just update to the latest core via retroarch so you don’t have to update the retroarch version right? well according to RetroArch developer update core is basically broken and useless on ios) because every retroarch cores had to be signed with apple server during app signing process which didn’t happen when retroarch already installed) this comment is way too long lol but hope you see it!

A good overview of 2 products, but seriously? No mention of the Razer Kishi. No mention of anything from Gamevice, the company the developed it for Razer. Just that flimsy looking $100 (currently, on Amazon) Backbone with its 1¢ clicky buttons. It looks like it would snap in half if you just chucked it into a bag and the middle got stuck under something. Kishi is $70 new and $60 (renewed) on Amazon. I got mine a full year ago as a warehouse deal (BNIB return) for $50 like I do with a lot of stuff. Not a single issue. Unfortunately just like the Backbone, the Kishi also needs the phone to be removed from the case. I have the Kishi for Android as well which is even cheaper and though it's against the point of this video, I actually prefer the latest SN30Pro Xbox edition (for Android) with its included highly adjustable clip holder.

You should mention that the USB-C version uses the NIntendo layout, while the Lightning version uses the Xbox / American Playstation layout, which may be an annoyance or dealbreaker for those looking to play more retro games.

Hey man! I had a questions about your flash drive emulator. I know we don’t have the Steam Deck yet, but since it’s supposed to be a fully functional PC, in theory, would we be able to set up the flash drive from the Steam Deck?

Hi Michele, yes I think that it is possible, but we don't know for sure yet. My hope is that the BIOS allows us to boot from an SD card, in which case we can load Batocera directly on the card.

The port flexes so it's highly adaptable, so I think in case of a fall it wouldn't damage the port. Yeah as you saw in the video the top poked out a bit during use, but part of that had to do with the slippery/silicone case I was using; it still felt pretty sturdy the whole time.

What is annoying, the sound of unboxing? That's in all my videos. I usually lower it by 10db so it's not too obtrusive, but I enjoy the visceral experience of hearing the unboxing. Luckily I speed that part up and often cut out dead space, so it's usually no more than 30 seconds if you'd rather skip it.
