15+ Telescopic Game Controllers for iPhone & Android IN TIER LIST! (2024 Edition)

[@GameTechTalk]

Thank you to @MrFioz1 for bringing this detail to my attention. The BSP-D8 that I cover is in fact the BSP-D8 Pro, please excuse my mistake as I did not realize there were two different models. Cheers!

[@elchg9102]

I'm very happy to see this video because I just bought the D8 pro and it's the first video where they give it a review and it has a high score!! I bought it for my iPhone.

[@GameTechTalk]

@@elchg9102 I have received the BSP-D9 and D10 and will be making a video soon comparing all three, stay tuned for that if you want to know more and I'll also go more in-depth on the D8 Pro. Cheers! :)

[@GustavoFil350]

Yes the D8 was very popular, it was basically the first trully good controller from them to me, the D9 is the D8 but with the PS5/PS Portal looks (which looks hideous IMO) and the one in the video is the D8 Pro which seems to be the one reaching almost Gamesir in terms of build quality, the standard D8 was good but still felt quite cheap and the D8 Pro kinda fixed that. As far as I know the D8 Pro still doesn't have a single video review out, it's very recent so if you want to do a solo quick review of it I think it would do well. Or maybe do a quick look at it in the D10 review.

[@terribletimes902]

For your next tier list, could you mention if a controller is recognized by Call of Duty Mobile (on Android)? I know it’s a very specific thing, but that game has a very weird controller support implementation. All bluetooth controllers seem to work fine, but hard wired controller support seems to be exclusive to Backbone. Even for controllers that spoof a Dualsense, I can’t find confirmation that they work natively since all footage of them playing the game use button mappers. What’s even more bizarre is that this is not a problem on iOS. Every wired telescopic controller I’ve tried works fine in that game on my iPhone. My only theory that I can’t confirm yet is that iOS has a better controller protocol so game developers don’t have to do anything to support third party controllers, as long as they support a Dualsense or X-Input. Meanwhile on the Android side, Backbone seems to have worked out a deal to be the only usable wired telescopic controller for that game. It seems very anticompetitive and might mean the only way for a controller to work would be to spoof a Backbone and not a Dualsense. Sorry for the huge wall of text, but this is now my white whale when it comes to mobile controllers. Because so far no other telescopic controllers work in the game and Backbone refuses to update their design with sticks that are good for a shooter, Android CODM players have just been screwed by this situation for a while.

[@GameTechTalk]

Sure, great suggestion btw! I went ahead and tested every "wired" telescopic controllers I owned and you were right, they all did not work except the Backbone One, that's crazy!

[@terribletimes902]

@@GameTechTalk Yeah, like you said this is my gripe with Backbone as a company. They had a great product at first, now they use their money from that for big marketing pushes and anti competitive stuff like this instead of improving their now outdated controller

[@Fielith]

Exactly, all the bluetooth controller can spoof as a dualsense/xbox, but it is still bluetooth. I just know that the wired ones only support backbone after reading ur comment, thats fkd up actually.. Oh yea and i have a question, does wired controller has wireless support too? like if i want to use it for my laptop

[@GameTechTalk]

@@Fielith To your question, historically? No. However, this seemingly is starting to change and the first controller I've seen do that is EasySMX M05, there may have been more but if so I'm unaware. With that said, there are more controllers that will be coming out VERY SHORTLY that have this feature as well. Stay tuned! ;)

I have the x4 Aileron, and for me it's a tier s, THE QUALITY IS PERFECT, SUBLIME EVEN. It's soo good, and the software is also really good, I've never encountered any problem whatsoever, and I've tried it in many phones and even tablets, and the software is perfectly functional.

[@GameTechTalk]

It's a very robust solution, glad you love it this much! To me it's a specific product for specific gamers and much like I paraphrased when making my review, I knew there would be people exactly like you that find it to be the best controller ever because it does have amazing appeal for the right person!

[@d0minant24]

Other than Bluetooth options, it appears the only option on this list for foldable phones is the X2S? Just not a fan of the color of it and hoping for something in black and in the same small + slim profile. I currently have a G8 Galileo but am a bit irritated with the Surface Duo screens coming downward rather than up like a traditional DS. I am contemplating the BSP-D8 Pro now that I see it though, especially in black. Great job on the review, it was very insightful.

[@GameTechTalk]

Yeah unfortunately the left side USB-C is not common at all. But Bluetooth has been better and better. I’d argue that if using a Foldable, best to just go towards that tech by default and there are some PRETTY SEXY options coming out soon that I can’t yet speak about. Rest assured that, this market is growing rapidly and option are becoming more and more in our midst. Lots of amazing things coming in Q3/Q4! 😉

About Ipega, just a few months back they came up with a new model (9777s) which copies the design of the Samsung Glap controller, but extends to fit large tables. It has adjustable analog sticks sensitivity, new spring mechanism, and RGB lights. I think those sold a lot that they have to restock. The thing is the restock version is a stripped down version of the original. They removed the sensitivity sliders and changed the spring mechanisms. But still, probably a good affordable alternative to the BSP D8 Pro you've shown here.

Why rate a controller A when it only works for one phone? That along should rate it a C or maybe B and that all.

[@GameTechTalk]

I understand your point of view. Do I wish ASUS had designed the Kunai 3 for every phone? Of course. Technically it does so but only wireless with the center connector. I didn’t rate them by what they weren’t designed for but rather by what they were. Still, your suggestion is a fair one and something I’ll keep in mind when I do this again. Thanks for watching!

He makes it very clear why pal. If the controller was universal it would probably be an S. Also it's not one phone it's a brand of phone. As much as that sucks it's still a quality controller. Worth an A FROM HIS PERSPECTIVE which he made clear too.

I really wish more of the wired controllers like G8 etc had the type C connector on the left like the X2s. In a year-ish i'd like to get a OnePlus Open (maybe their Open 2 will be out), and the connector on the left is less awkward/more folding phone friendly with the result of the top of the screen being above the controller IMO. Rather than bottom of the screen being below the controller.

[@GameTechTalk]

Yeah, unfortunately, very few controllers do, basically just the X2s as far as I know. With a bit of DIY, you might be able to reroute a cable to the G8+ though.

[@sirtanjung35p]

I personally thinks that the Gamesir X4a is on the S tier because how much it can do, for example it can connect to Android, IOS & PC. Also it got Joycon Mode which you can use the controller as 2 separate controller to play local co-op multiplayer games like Metal Slug or Overcooked. And then with this feature you can use either single left grip or the right grip to play competitive games like CODM Warzone Also to mention the Grip Connector & Clip Extender accessories that we can 3D Print. Literally underrated gamepad, Gamesir failed to deliver the correct marketing promotion

[@GameTechTalk]

Well, you brought a lot of info to me that I didn't even know existed but that is why I gave it an A and also why I had a very positive review on it. You have, in my humble opinion, gave my take all the more validity by showcasing just how niche this controller is, and that is why it pushes this high, don't think of A as being bad, it's pretty impressive when you think of a product that has half a dozen other variant in existence. GameSir is leading (by a large margin) the landslide for this form factor, and that's saying something. But making it an S means that it would cater to every single need in the form factor and I just can't see that to be true. You don't have a USB-C on both sides, you don't have rumble, you don't have gyro, you don't have wired connectivity, you don't have a candy bar connection in the box, there are a lot of ways that this controller could improve as a market solution, but in the current shape and form that it is? I think it corners every "mandatory" aspects that consumers looking for this solution would want. I hope my scoring makes more sense now but the good news, because it has such a loving community behind it, you can take it from an A and bring it all the way up to an S, and that is awesome, let's hope GameSir will give you that S out-of-the-box for future versions! :)

[@Dinosaursof]

I want something low profile that I can just throw in my bag. I am currently using an 8bitdo zero 2 but would like something similar that can connect to my phone with just a d pad and a few face buttons.

[@GameTechTalk]

That is telescopic or not necessarily? Because indeed, in the low profile department, 8BitDo takes the cake, even with options such as the SN30 Pro with a phone clip.

[@Dinosaursof]

@@GameTechTalk there is no telescoping with the zero 2. It’s just a tiny controller I toss in my bag. For holding my phone I have a mag safe wallet that doubles as a phone stand.

[@Tlads21]

a larger phone on kishi v1 feels like a coherent handheld console in a way most of the other controllers dont. It was disappointing when i tried it on a smaller samsung A20 but man does it work like a charm with my old poco x2, feels like the controls are straight up built in. Especially with its price cut, now being like 40 bucks its easily A tier imo

The Kishi V1 should've been a blueprint that they kept building from, rather they decided to do a full 180 with their design. Oh well

G8 Plus and BSP D8 Pro are going to be your best bet. I would want to spend more time reviewing tablets down the road as I think they make phenomenal gaming solutions but I'd be lying if I said that this is immediately in my radar.

[@Kailis89]

I have a G8, but honestly considering the Kishi ultra so I don't have to deal with an app that's marked as malware, needing to turn on/off the controller to get it recognised. Feels like it would also be better in touch emulation (have some annoyances in wuthering waves with the G8) and has a bit more space between the right joystick and buttons

[@GameTechTalk]

The Kishi Ultra is great. If you're ok with the premium cost, it definitely is a solid option and still top podium in the current landscape.

[@fabriciofla8019]

I have a Game sir X2 Pro and while I really like it, I HATE how clicky the face buttons are. They make a lot of noise. Please answer to me, are the face buttons on the Galileo the same? What about the buttons on the Easymx m10?

[@GameTechTalk]

Galileo G8 and M10 both have membrane which are definitely more silent and not clicky at all. With that said, the membrane on the G8 is a bit lower pitch, whereas the M10 is a bit higher. For that reason, I'd favor the G8 but it's extremely trivial at this point. Cheers!

So the SMX got rated S without having hall effects, above the Gamesir X2s which has same features plus hall effects. Also I would like to mention I've had an absolutely horrible experience with Razer, Ive used the Kishi V1 and Kishi V2, both broke within my first months. Not putting any money on razer on the controller department ever again. Edit: I am happy you put Kishi V2 at D because it is truly horrible and i totally agree the clickiness feel absolutely wrong. After watching the whole video I will have to checkout the Galileo, too many roses thrown at it.

[@GameTechTalk]

I hear you, so the thing is, Hall-Effect is not exclusively all better, it does become a question of preference and sure, it is great to prevent stick drift, but not for stick resolution. Not for stick jitter. Not for "raw inputs". At the end of the day, some favor hall-effect and that's perfectly fine and legitimate but ALPS is not exclusively all bad, there are positives too.

Interesting that you left out if they need to be charged, I only have 1 telescopic controller Gamesir Galileo G8 and it feels like what a controller should feel like, except for one downside that the buttons are nearly completely vertical with the sticks even though it's shaped in a way that could allow it.

[@GameTechTalk]

Most telescopic controllers are plugged in but you are right with the BSP-D8 Pro at least, that one is battery and do need to be charged. Thanks for pointing it out, I'll make sure to mention it when I do this again. As for the sticks, I like them slightly off as well but seeing as the Galileo has a large enough ergo grip, I find that to be more trivial than on something like a retro handheld or a joycon, you know something with a slimmer profile. Cheers and thanks for engaging!

[@doolittle_]

One thing that I always want to know because it's make or break on these controllers is the right thumbstick placement. It's always too low. It's the main thing that keeps me from love the Galileo G8.

[@GameTechTalk]

You know, lately I've been wanting to see a controller try to have symmetrical sticks but over rather than under or assymetrical, much like the Steam Deck type of thing. I think that could definitely work and the way I see it, sticks maneuvers are way more "cramp inducing" than buttons, so by having them over, I think it would greatly improve the "long session" usage of some of these controllers. Do you think that could be an interesting solution?

[@ydgmdlu]

​@@GameTechTalkthe BSP-D9 has symmetrical sticks that are definitely not very low relative to the D-pad and face buttons, since the D9 is a clone of the the DualSense design. Even the Steam Deck's sticks are slightly below the D-pad/buttons, not above them.

[@GameTechTalk]

@@ydgmdlu I meant the upper portion of the available footprint, not necessarily the order from top to bottom of sticks and buttons. However, on a traditional controller, due to available space, if the sticks were to be over, the buttons would most likely be under. Sorry for the confusion.

Someone said it very well in the comments, great solution to dip your toes into the market but that should be where it ends in my personal opinion. If you think about it, 2 BSP-D3 get you a BSP-D8 Pro pretty much, now that’s a great deal. However, during the time that the D3 was released? I would’ve rated it higher because at that time, there weren’t that many options in the low price point. For that, we can all be thankful for the D3 and I certainly am.

I'm literally in the middle of filming a video for one and I have at least 2 more to film in the coming month, if not three. M15 and G8+ are safe bets but I'd sit at least a few days to see the reviews. The new tier list will come out in late September, if not mid. Cheers!

Just bought the Galileo G8 it's amazing❤

[@GameTechTalk]

That it most certainly is! Welcome to the beautiful world of no compromise (or just a little) telescopic gaming. It's such a viable solution that so few people know about still!

[@jinjasplay]

I was in the initial hype with the G8, but the lack of app support to configure the stick dead zones became a deal breaker for me personally. The more I play with it the more annoyed I get and I don't feel about using it anymore. Playing warzone, AC Mirage and other similar games makes it pretty noticeable how much you need to move the sticks until movement is registered! Horrible. Scuf nomad is next on my list even though I am concerned about the BT connection. Not because of BT that is not a problem for me. It is because I won't be able to charge my phone while playing unless I remove it from the controller. Anyway, some high expectations there.

[@GameTechTalk]

GameSir do not seem to have managed to establish a "buddy buddy" relationship with Apple but I think they are actively trying. That iPad Pro controller is one indication, but also, there is a Galileo G8 MFi edition that was shown at CES but we haven't heard since, all white, so sexy. I really think GameSir is trying to appeal to Apple but until Apple agrees, that is the number one reason for the app on iOS to really be COMPLETELY different than on Android. Everything you just said? You can do all of it and so much more... on Android. So yeah, I get where you're coming from and I sincerely hope GameSir and Apple can figure things out because more options is best for buyers. As for Nomad... you know I'm already on it! 😉

The MOGA is surprisingly good, even by today's standard but the G8 is far superior, without a doubt. With that said, if you get the MOGA at half the price of the G8, I would go MOGA, ride it out for a year or two because right now, the market is moving so rapidly that by the time you've grown out of your MOGA, the market will probably have vastly improved.

Hello! Thanks for the video, I'm liking the x2s but in your opinion whats the most portable one that can be charged and with type C connector.

[@GameTechTalk]

That's a big ask and one currently not in existence basically. The closest to what you are saying is the M05 because it has the connector, it has antennas but it has no battery! :3 Maybe it could be modded with one but I'll leave that to the bawss tinkerer Shem from RetroBreeze! Otherwise, it's usually one or the other, not both. The one exception is the MOGA XP-7 Plus that I talk about in this video but it's not a USB-C connector, a big disappointment to be honest. If I was MOGA, I'd do a revised unit with USB-C and rumble because otherwise, It was an AMAZING product! BSP could also surprise us all with an D11 model but they said that product line was done so time will tell.

[@GameTechTalk]

It’s questionable. I’ve always been a big believer in raw inputs but raw means the missteps and mistakes are also more captured. So much like dead zones eliminate the raw input jitter at base value, too much sensitivity is like bringing that jitter back on stick travel. Cheers!

[@l4st3rd85]

Compared to the wired, how is the delay with the bluetooth connection with those gamepad?

[@GameTechTalk]

Wired is from 8ms to 2ms so far that I've seen on the telescopic market. I'd say 95% are 8ms, the 4 and 2ms are just starting to appear, very uncommon. For bluetooth, it goes from 15ms to approximately 3ms. So that depends, and there are far worst too when it comes to bluetooth but that range is from 1 year old released controllers on average. Right now, the best controller I've tested bluetooth is the G8+, I have a review on my channel and it'll be part of the next tierlist video which will probably be around september. Cheers!

Should’ve waited for the Scuf nomad. Looks like it’s the best one out of all these, they listened to their customers wants.

[@GameTechTalk]

By making a controller that only supports iPhone, not Android? That's aIready a bad stance from where I stand, not everyone is iOS locked. However, I have every intention of loving the Nomad if it is as good as I'm hoping it will be. But I'll believe it when I see it, Scuf has a reputation of overpromising and underdelivering. With that said, the Nomad will get its review and when the time is right, a new tierlist will happen, I really enjoyed doing it.

[@YanFries]

@@GameTechTalk yes I agree it’s weird that it’s Bluetooth but only iOS. Maybe they’re testing the waters, and releasing an android down the road or making the BT protocol on the nomad android compatible. Scuf has a bad rep online but also, any products that people are dissatisfied with they will let others know, but a positive experience most people will not go online and leave a review.

[@GameTechTalk]

@@YanFries@YanFries I agree wholeheartedly on people being more vocal about bad experiences than good ones, but as someone that hangs in the "nerd tests everything" kind of forums (I'm one myself 😅), I'm talking more from an objective performance point-of-view, though the hardware seems to often be a point of contention as well. With that said, I'll always form my own opinion and Turtle Beach lately is a great example of that, they also don't always get the best rep and sure, it's not a perfect product but I still was able to give it credit, I'm hoping to be able to do the same with Scuf.

[@jesperhammarlund300]

loved this video. about time someone made a modern update to mobile gaming controllers as that market is growing fast with many AAA titles coming out recently and more coming in the future. my fav in the list is the razer kishi ultra. its very similar to the G8. but the big selling point of the razer is that USB C external plug in to a pc or a 13 inch ipad pro. that way i dont have to carry around 2 controllers. i can just have the kishi ultra. play on my iphone 15 pro. then if i wanna switch to my ipad pro. I can just plug it in hard wired via USB-C. great feature. sure the 150usd is quite alot of money. but the razer has haptics which the G8 does not. so with that the price can be a bit more justified. and also G8 dont have the external USB-C plug in like the razer one has. i did test. and nothing happens it just blinks. like it has power but no data signal is coming through. the G8 only has the USB-C for input charging it seems.

[@GameTechTalk]

The G8 does have external support but you need to use a USB-C female to USB-A male (or USB-C male) which is not a cable most people usually have lying around. You plug the female part on the male of the G8 that usually plugs into the phone/tablet you're using. Thanks for the kind words by the way, I really enjoyed doing this video and I already have a few brands contacting me with future models (that I'll be reviewing of course) but I'm already contemplating making a follow up video for maybe Q4. Until then, thanks a lot, I'm glad to know it was enjoyable to you! :)

[@terribletimes902]

Backbone can do this too and through the charging port, so no weird adapter cables. Unfortunately they charge you a subscription fee to do it. The only reason I keep mine around is because I have a lifetime access to Backbone subscription due to lucking out and getting the controller just months before they switched to a subscription model.

[@GameTechTalk]

Yeah I figured you meant the X2s Bluetooth, the new model. Quite frankly, I would go X2s Bluetooth. As much as I know the Lightning M10 will work. Once you upgrade your phone, it’ll become e-waste. As for the X2s Bluetooth, it’ll still be good after. They are both ok but to me the X2s is the better product of the two and also, it spoofs as Dualsense which works better with iOS than spoofing Xbox 360 wireless (which M10 does). The M10 only advantage are the two extra paddles but they aren’t in the ideal position for most people. My vote is X2s Bluetooth personally, and I love the colors!

Ahh sorry, there are so many things to cover but undoubtedly, I do have to keep it reasonably "surface level" for a tier list, I think this is a good solution to identify a handful of models to study and then go to the matching reviews to get a more in-depth review experience. The Tessen is indeed very versatile in the depth that it can support but it has other challenges, that which I talk more about in the review associated with it specifically.

I hear you. You’re not the first person to address this issue. I guess I do live in a cold country and have a constant cold temperature in my living space. I’ll try to consider that in the future as I personally have not encountered that issue in quite some time and I have done some LENGTHY sessions.

Imagine finding out your ride or die for the past 3 years has reviewed a D. The Kishi V2. I thought I had top tier.. what would I do with an S in my possession? lol I need to upgrade.

[@GameTechTalk]

There is a fair amount of subjectivity when it comes to controllers so it could remain your "by default" despite trying other solutions but with that said... I'd be extremely shocked if none of the S ones would leave you wanting. Honestly, I would suggest that you go EasySMX M05 or M10 if you don't want to have too drastic a change. But if you really wanna go to a completely different tier, get the G8 or G8+. I have a review of the new one on my channel, it's as far as I am concerned, the very first Tier S+ the market has seen. Thanks for commenting btw! :)

[@CvntForceDrama]

@@GameTechTalk I’m definitely leaning on the G8/G8+ , honestly the only reason I’ve been fine with my Kishi is because I lack experience with the much better controllers on this list. I’m sure if I try one I’ll never want to touch this one again lol it’s on its last leg anyway so I do need to upgrade soon. Thanks for the recommendation 🙏 subscribed.

@@CvntForceDrama All I ask, if you do get one or the other (highly recommend going straight for G8+ tbh), please let me know whatever you pick up, how you feel about it! 😁Cheers and thanks for the sub!

[@tobezoned504]

Just a heads up rhat is not the d8 that is the d8 pro, costs a bit more 👍

[@GameTechTalk]

Thanks! A few people did point it out, sorry for my mistake by the way!

Does backbone left side of the controler stop working after using it with headphones?

[@GameTechTalk]

It shouldn’t no. If you have a Backbone that does that, it is defective.

[@angelgnievestorres5769]

@@GameTechTalk I have 2. Black and Playstation edition. My Wife plays with headphones and started to get defected. My still worked fine. Then she played with the Playstation with headphone. It defected too.

[@GameTechTalk]

@@angelgnievestorres5769 Hmmm. So some headphones flip the polarities, Apple was notorious for doing that. Maybe that’s what caused an issue with the controller? Sorry I wouldn’t know more or anything at all about that issue but I would strongly recommend that you reach out to Backbone as soon as possible. That is not normal.

[@rolins3279]

I'm really quite surprised that you find the D-pads of the Kishi V1 and the Galileo G8 average 🤔

[@GameTechTalk]

@rolins3279 I definitely prefer the d-pad of the Kishi V1 over the one from the Galileo G8. What I don't like with the G8's d-pad and the ones that do that in general is when the corners are pretty "sharp". I prefer the edges to be rounded, I feel like they land better for longer playtime sessions.

[@GameTechTalk]

Thanks for engaging @vastorogis !

[@rolins3279]

@@GameTechTalk Ok ok I see, so it's more a matter of preference. I'm waiting for the next "G8" which will not need to be modified to handle 8-14" tablets, which will have its type C port on the right, which will have rumble, especially in black.

[@krajan991]

Is there any with this list controllers who have illuminated buttons ? Or is other WHO have it?

[@GameTechTalk]

None in this list and now that you mention it, I can't think of one that does in the telescopic mobile space if being perfectly honest. Maybe something to do with not cause any more strain on connected device's batteries, or their own if it is a wireless controller? Fine observation from you, I'll keep my eyes peeled in case. Cheers!

[@psp4gamer]

You should tell that's the pro version, i almost bought the baseline D8 because of that

[@GameTechTalk]

Yeah my apology, it was pointed out to me and guaranteed that I’ll do better next time, thanks!
