Genshin Impact for iPhone & iPad - Controller Support Review

[@donniemoreau8119]

I play Genshin Impact a lot just got to Adventure Rank 50 the other day and been using touch screen the whole time.

[@Ginoissocool]

oh wow

[@Cyrus-ro8kg]

Using gamepad give a refreshing feelings. You should try!

[@donniemoreau8119]

Yeah I wanted to but I found out they only do controller support for iOS not Android... I was bummed when I found that out.

You can mirror your screen to Apple TV while playing with controller :)

[@clijsters3187]

I do have backbone one and believe me its really cool. The combat really shines and you can master the art of dodging. And also you can see now the whole screen. At first its kinda confusing since I played this game with just touch screen from ar1 to ar53. Now Im ar55 and I cant imagine playing this on my mobile without backbone. My only problem is, i cant use now my ice cooling fan coz it wont fit already now that i attached my backbone 😂😂😂 but still, the fun having this controller is truely worth it.

[@arocomisgamusclademork1603]

Question. Why Android don't support bluetooth controller Genshin Impact? Why official don't including Android platform support bluetooth controller?

[@ricardocalderon9823]

I actually prefer touch controls I just don't like the "layout". If they made it customizable like cod mobile then I would be happy. But as a PC gamer I never liked controllers. I respect your opinion though.

[@MrMacRight]

Thats fair.

[@genocide865]

*_Why just IPHONE though????? I was so happy hearing that there's a controller support but not on Android_*

[@mattevis4633]

I know right, it does mean that android will eventually get it but why only pay attention to ios users first? It's stupid honestly

[@renjr5232]

Well if you know how to code you'd see how harder it is to do on Linux(android).

[@sosumee]

imagine playing genshin impact in iPad Pro at 120hz with keyboard and mouse, hope we see this some day, although the controller support is also welcomed!

[@ayamefubuki]

I doubt it would be able to run it a 120hz considering how big the game is. My gaming laptop with dual fans gets hot playing at 60 fps with highest graphics

[@Synth_Gaming]

I don't think the game even outputs at 120hz on mobile devices or even pc for that matter. I have a razer phone 2 and I've checked the settings for 120fps support and nothing. If anything, something like that would come to pc and pc only since phones outputting at 90hz and up are still a bit rare only 36ish phones support 90hz and 25ish support 120hz with like 7 that support 144hz.

[@RafLurv]

Ya im playing with ipad pro at 60fps. The ipad gets pretty hot.

[@mukiex4413]

Unfortunately, no 120hz support on the horizon, even on PC. Maybe some day.

[@lana_354]

It's already 120hz on Samsung since 2020 or smth

[@JohnnyClash_]

The backbone looks like a great controller

[@larinbarzan6076]

I’m AR 52 and been playing this game one my phone only so this controller is a must have for me

[@Sunblade49]

I am using Nimbus from Steelseries. All is working fine except LS/RS for item details. And it’s definitely great to finally be able to use a controller, battles and glider control is much easier that way. Thanks for the vid!

[@lemon_juice2555]

will they add controller support to on android thought?

[@XerxesBreakSama]

i have both tab s7 plus and ipad air 4. but id like to play genshin in the latter since i can just simply hook it on my tv.

[@reece5634]

Was so glad controller supported came for iOS. Playing on my iPad Pro with a PS4 controller is soo much better than touch control. Planning to get the Razer Kishi for my iPhone 12 Pro Max

[@stonergee420]

Get the backbone it way better you can connect to discord and capture your gameplay clips on the controller

[@reece5634]

@@stonergee420 oohhh, I’ll consider. Thanks!

[@stonergee420]

Yeah it way smooth I been playing 2k arcade and it feels like I’m playing on console 🔥

[@mukiex4413]

MrMacRight, turn all the graphics settings as far down as they'll go and set the framerate to 60fps. It's a FAR better experience and the actual graphical loss is nothing to the fluidity benefit. Does eat battery like it's candy tho.

[@herooftimex3ds]

i wish that they could release genshin impact on apple tv and android tv

[@jonathanjoestarjojolion98]

This makes me wanna install it once again

[@theechosenone4471]

Just did lol

[@mukiex4413]

Hopefully 1.4 comes with other platform releases for Apple stuff. With controller support they could easily launch on Apple TV and MacOS. Keyboard/Mouse support would be awesome on MacOS and even iPad, for that matter.

[@nendenjayantina4474]

Really glad the dev's finally adding controller support! And it works with my fave controller too (8bitdo SN 30 pro+) I wonder how to utilize the motion control on this game🤔 Now I kinda fucked up because I used to the touch control and always accidentally attack/jumping 😅

[@cheerhoshimura1730]

[@enesjei]

I just realized 1 big flaw for Archer user with controller. iOS/iPadOS isn't support gyro/motion control yet for any controller.. it's so frustrating to aim without gyro. I have to set camera sensitivity to default (3) for better aiming. But setting it to 3 means slower camera movement😅😅

[@bobertgumball1584]

I totally want to play but yeah, not having a controller was a dealbreaker for me. The touch screen controls are just so clunky to deal with that I opted out and haven't been keeping up. I am hoping it'll come to the switch soon but concerned given it's level of success on it's other systems, that there is no real desire for this game to come on the switch. Oh well, one day.

[@pipikakachu]

I’m infuriated 😡...I’m on iOS 13.5 and I get no controller support. I have been waiting for so long. All other games with controller support work with iOS 12-13.
