somebody knows how to pause usb power delivery on samsung when using a controller? i am using easysmx m15 connected to my s24 ultra and i have a pd 30w charger but for me its not showing its always charing its not enabled but without the controller i can enable it please help... because that feature is useless if cannot be worked with a controller

[@GameTechTalk]

@@ItsGigishan I wouldn't be able to say for sure but if you enable developer mode, and you go into USB debug, you can swap various behaviors for your USB-C. Maybe the solution you seek out is in there. Hope this helps!

[@w.7474]

I thank you A LOT for covering this controller. I've decided to buy the Memo S3 because of your reviews and I received it 3 hours ago and it was such a great experience even though the controller was pretty small but felt good on hands. Good luck in life man 🍀

[@GameTechTalk]

Thank you very much for the kind words, and for your trust. Happy gaming!

[@STR82DVD]

Better than the G8 Klef? That's a bold assertion that after watching your review, AGREED. I just can't believe the improvements in these telescopic controllers. These last four years have been populated with iterations of telescopic controllers that just seem to get better and better and better. It's a good time to be alive Klef my lad. If you can sign me up for one of those free controllers that be great. 😂

[@GameTechTalk]

If I could heart this comment 10 times, I would. And that is because I was there too so I know, just like you just said, that this is 110% correct, it was basically 10 versions of something that iPega (or whichever other brand) copied off of one another. The improvements have been phenomenal and this is obviously a market on the rise so we haven't seen the end of it. Good luck Hunter, and thanks for sharing the passion with me!

[@STR82DVD]

@@GameTechTalk I'm going to bronze my original iPega. I still have mine in the basement collecting dust and memories. Brilliant really for its time but I think we all knew that that was not the telescopics final form. Agreed young lad. Agreed.

Benn watching your videos since you first started and not only do I appreciate your in depth reviews and comparisons, I also have to give it up for how polished your video production and presentation has become. You continually improve and it's great to see. Just wanted to say thank you and nice work!

[@GameTechTalk]

Not going to lie. This comment gave me a jolt of emotion. I have an uncanny memory of names and yours is definitely not one I see often, meaning that you lurk (nothing wrong with that) and indeed, I can see you've been a sub for over a year, so for you to come out of "lurk mode" to tell me this means you see the effort, you see the work, the growth. It helps me to see it too, it's easy to forget sometimes. Thank you so much for taking a moment to write and for being here! 😊

[@DNAMobileGaming]

The mode is in the manual weird too I showcased cod mobile working 😊. Awesome battle I love the M15 and having the bt feature alongside usb c is an awesome feature. It's a lot better than any bsp controller latency wise when playing native Android games.

[@GameTechTalk]

Yeah it's definitely a solid controller, and to have it at such a great price too!

[@CVillage22]

Love these comparisons. Having the individual specs and how each one rates will be great to carryover and compare to controllers that may come up in the future without having to re-do all of them each time.

[@Toffmonster]

This review contains some glaring misinformation: 1:46 The Xinput Bluetooth mode (purple) that works with CoD Mobile IS described in the manual. It's the HID Bluetooth mode (red) that isn't. Do we have different manuals? I didn't even know how you managed to enable the HID BT mode in your hands-on review. 2:55 The controller has an adjustable polling rate that can be set through (drumroll) the official app. Which is the same app the M05 uses, btw. 13:27 There IS an official software, it's called MooWii Gaming. How else would it work with Android apps that don't have native controller support? There is an "App Download Page" with the QR code in the manual. The same QR code is also printed on the box. I demand an updated verdict. :)

[@GameTechTalk]

Hey there, 1- Seems like we did. Do keep in mind I had the controller quite some time ago for review. 2- Gotta say, you opened up my eyes to something I did not know. I assumed the app was just for screen mapping (my bad), I didn't realize they had implemented "tweakability" in there. Thank you, I'll give you a shout on my Memo S3 (tablet) upcoming review. 3- Sorry for causing any misunderstanding, I say "not official" because the app cater to multiple products, much like domotic apps cover multiple brands. I should've probably said a "proprietary app" which MooWii Gaming is not. With that said, as referring to 2, I also didn't think it had this many feature, again that's my bad. Thanks!

[@Toffmonster]

@@GameTechTalk Yes, initially I also thought it was just another 3rd-party app, but seeing how it has things like polling rate configuration and even firmware update, with the actual M15 photo being shown in the About screen, I think that this app is either being developed by EasySMX themselves, or at least they are in very close partnership with its developer.

[@Seram2]

I bought the g8 plus and the m15 after watching your videos, both are great controllers, I personally like the m15 more because of the light weight and suits perfect on my iphone 15 pro max. G8 plus was good but it was kind of heavy for me as a daily mobile game user. (I’m thinking to use the g8 plus for nintendo switch) I saw the giveaway worldwide released by Easysmx, glad they gave some opportunity for other people from different countries. I wanted to buy another one for my close friend who was thinking to buy a gaming controller for android. Thanks for reviewing the controllers with detailed thoughts and opinions, can’t wait for another controller review:)

I also watched your BSP review but I did not know which to buy and once again your review is very complete and interesting.

Finally the review, I recently discovered your channel and I really like the tier list section, I was looking for a gamepad and the M15 caught my attention, but in most of the reviews they omit the part about the compatibility of mobiles that have a chipset other than Snapdragon, (Mediatek in my case), I have read that some gamepads are simply not compatible with Mediatek. I would like, if it is not a problem, that in future videos you could try with different mobiles other than Snapdragon or iOS. (Exynos, Mediatek, tensor, kirin, etc). Sorry for my horrible English, I am using Google translator)

[@GameTechTalk]

Google Translator did a fine job, I got everything you said. Currently, I do not own devices of other chipsets but that's an interesting thing you just mentioned, I had no idea that was a thing but I'll definitely try to incorporate that in future reviews, videos, or at least keep an open mind to having devices that can help me expand my testings.

[@volcalstone]

I ended up getting one of this myself right after your first video on this. 😊 It's a pretty nice controller for the price which was $32 or so. At this point tho the G8 could be had for around $55 on Amazon. So it's not that far off but I actually ended up getting another M15 on Ali as it was only gonna cost me $24!! I couldn't pass that up for sure. I'm going to gift that one though. I have to talk about the D-pad cause I'm a D-pad type of person. I would say it's not as nice as the G8+. I don't remembered the one on the G8 when I returned it several months ago. I'm sure they're the same though I think. I like the M15 as it works with my phones while having a case on it. With the G8 I had to always take my case off which was annoying. The wait for the G8+ was worth it though. Thanks for using a rating system on these controllers as it helps me a lot for comparing them. I trust your D-pad accessment as you play Street Fighter 2 still just like me. 😊

[@GameTechTalk]

Thanks my dude! I’m gonna try to bring that scoring system in future videos, maybe not as present but in some capacity as I think it helps to illustrate my inputs beyond my words. And also, WHAT A STEAL!! $24!! And somewhere in there is still a smidge of profit (most likely), unbelievable.

[@crobfull]

nice review! which will you pick between the easysmx controllers? m05, m10 or this? Thanks!

[@GameTechTalk]

I like thicker controllers personally so it's an easy pick for me with the M15. But the M05 wouldn't be too far behind.

[@Wurstifier]

The M05 does NOT have hall effect thubstick modules, so they are prone to stickdrift.

[@w4yl3z]

Try looking at Memo S3, it's very identical to easysmx m15. That one even has a tablet version (can stretch 276mm) and even a cooling fan clip accessory.

[@GameTechTalk]

Yup, I have them both with me, it's an upcoming review but I don't know when exactly.

[@syndicatedstudios4220]

Honestly I have them all (except THIS ONE) and the grip on the Kishi Ultra is what makes it the winner for me. BUT the price is painful, like screaming kicking painful. Would love to get this controller to compare it.

[@gvidas7473]

Very nice review, was debating between G8 and M15 and after watching your video I think I might just get the M15 since I dont care about headphone jack and only really plan to play remote xbox games on my iPhone 15 plus, would you think its the right choice?

[@GameTechTalk]

I believe so. The G8 is such a great controller but the M15 manages to ever so slightly take the edge by offering a lot of other things that the G8 doesn't. Like bluetooth, rumble, polling rate adjustments, more modes too and better, far better, software compatibility on iOS.

[@bryanmiranda6674]

That M15 looks to be a great all rounder 🤩

[@misterpooter]

m15 has less tolerance out of box for phone cases than G8. Need to remove phone case on m15 to get USB c fully seated into phone whereas my G8 has no issue w/ phone + case. Option would be to rip off the rubber pad on USB c side but you lose a little grip on phone that way.

[@mattdavis9601]

An excellent review about an excellent product. EasySMX should be pleased with the professionalism that you've shown in reviewing their new controller. I respect the fact that you obviously believe affordable items deserve five star quality coverage just as much as vastly more expensive hardware. Thanks for testing the audio situation. That's not a deal killer by any stretch of the imagination. I expected that it wouldn't work, but, you never know, right? I get why wiring the charging port up as a full data port is not something any manufacturer wants to do; but, I don't understand why companies don't simply wire them up for analog audio passthrough. Most phones can output an analog signal through their USB ports, it's part of the USB-C standard, and it would only require, IIRC, two extra pins to be wired up to accommodate it. The phone does all the work. It seems like a case of penny-wise and pound foolish not to include that feature . Then again, where am I gonna go? It's not like anyone else in their price range is doing that with their controllers either. But, maybe they should? Another great review by you. I think this controller is awesome and I hope I win. Stranger things have happened.

[@GameTechTalk]

You know what's funny? I always test that USB-C (even used to with MicroUSBs) and I swear, the day that it works, I really REALLY hope to capture it because that'll be another "too excited to talk proper" video like the one for the Galileo G8+ modding! 😂 But all in all, I appreciate the curiosity as I have that same curious mind myself! Analog wiring would be brilliant, that is, as much as I think companies want to distance themselves from something else that could "fail" but you have an absolutely great point. Also, with phones no longer having 3.5mm jacks, the first controller to do that will have a very solid argument for themselves if everything else is good as well. Matt, thank you for the kind words, as a creator, I make a lot of videos naturally but this one I was particularly happy with, for you to comment on its quality warms my heart! Thanks again and good luck! :)

[@joex26]

I just bought the m05 after watching your tier list video a few times since I already have a g8 Galileo. The g8 makes my hands cramp so I need to try different styles to see which suits me better. Im sure im like the only person with comfort issues on the g8 which is weird for me. Hopefully i wont regret not getting this m15 instead!

[@GameTechTalk]

One thing you may want to consider with the G8, there are a plethora of mods out there, that controller is so beloved and popular. There might be something that exists to address the grip and hold? Wouldn't know myself but I wouldn't be surprised if that's a thing. With that said, good luck with the giveaway!

[@xSAOAsunax]

Alright, that was an enjoyable watch while having my lunch. Now that you have started including latency tests for these controllers, I'd like it if those could be shown in a Buying Guide or the upcoming tier list (since it's data that wasn't included in older videos!). That said, I will vouch in regards to the mention of the Galileo being available at great prices if you keep your eyes open. AE sales + coupons + coins + GPay is the way. 💪🏻

[@GameTechTalk]

Thank you! I've been putting a lot of thought into the tierlist video, right now, I'm leaning towards making two videos, one that is very "performance" driven, one that is more "feature" driven. Because as a whole, it's very challenging to make a tierlist when taking everything into consideration... And I feel like a lot of people don't care for performance as much as they do features, and vice versa. As if it's two different "potential buyers". My mind still isn't set on it, but I greatly appreciate your inputs, one thing for sure, the next tierlist will be more "complex" than the first, that's guaranteed!

[@xSAOAsunax]

​@@GameTechTalkYou are right, it's two different sets of buyers that will appreciate one choice over the other depending on what matters the most to them; because I personally value performance, I don't tend to even consider Bluetooth options when it comes to these kinds of controllers, plus not wanting to have the worry of needing to charge an additional thing, whereas others immediately prefer it because it does have its own set of things that make it convenient! Appreciate how you take the time to reply to everyone, looking forward to the video :)

[@azzzzuuuu]

Okay, another great review, thanks. It looks like since the moment I started my research I changed my mind on what to choose several times, but in the end it has been decided. Easysmx m15 as the price is sooo good! I started that maybe I'll get moga but it looks like the m15 is almost the same price. Thanks to you my research has been limited to watching your channel. This is all research that needs to be done. 😂

[@GameTechTalk]

Happy to assist friend!

[@azzzzuuuu]

@@GameTechTalk one thing, sorry, but I just couldn't find the answer in the videos. M15 does not have a batterry which means IT Takes power from the phone. Doesn't it drain the phone too quickly comparing to the competition with built-in one?

[@GameTechTalk]

@@azzzzuuuu That is correct, the power is drawn from the phone. With that said, game controllers take little energy in general so while yes, your phone will run for less longer than without one, the difference is negligible in comparison to the benefit they bring. I would say that if that becomes a problem and you have long commutes for example, a 20USD small and light battery bank would probably be enough to completely fix the issue.

[@azzzzuuuu]

@@GameTechTalk negligible - that's the word I was hoping for here. Many thanks, I'm advertising you where I can. All the best for you mate.

[@dexterlallo397]

Great in depth review but i do have a question, are the rubber feets beside the type c removable. Lets say phone case doesnt fit which i think might happen to some of us but not all.

[@GameTechTalk]

You could yes, it can be peeled off like a sticker. If possible, I'd suggest to just remove it next to the USB-C, these actually serve to redirect the audio upwards but also prevents the audio from shaking the plastic housing (that can sometimes create undesirable vibrations).

[@linggasy]

Great review! Hard choice between this and G8.

[@GameTechTalk]

Definitely two great options, the light and swift body of the M15 is something I'm discovering more and more everyday, they definitely are two great options but as the days go by, I stand by my recommendation, when comparing these two, the M15 takes a slight advantage over the G8. Either way though, you can't really go wrong! ;)

[@KevinAdams06]

Love the new rating system.

[@GameTechTalk]

Thank you greatly, I'm thinking of making it a staple in future reviews.

Thank you for the review. Would you mind doing some testing of controller rumble in future reviews? I recently noticed that rumble on Android is very device/vendor/kernel(?) dependent. Using EasySMX M05 in xbox mode on a Samsung phone with Android 14 has rumble working just fine. Rumble is also ok when connected to a PC. But using the same controller on a Moto G84 phone with Android 14 will not even recognize the rumble motors. In this combination you are limited to the phone's internal rumble which is a pity.

[@GameTechTalk]

I would tend to argue that the issue is not the phone itself but rather the version of Android because indeed, the rumble support is quite recent in Android OS version. Since 12 I think?

[@ItsGigishan]

EasySMX M15 can be used witj COD Mobile also its just hidden inside the game somehow... inside the game go to settings and controls-> then tap connect controller-> then in the controller press and hold fn+Y buttons it works like a charm

[@GameTechTalk]

So you're saying in wired mode? No need for bluetooth? I'm gonna test this out, if it works, you're getting full credit on the next time I talk about telescopic controllers in tierlist format!

[@ItsGigishan]

@GameTechTalk I didn't check the manual which mode is that but it's hold down fn+y until light is solid blue... then it works this is out of the box💪 thanks man! The other alternative is.. if you download the app they mentioned in thr manual after you download this app asks for some permission like appear on top of games something after u give permissions u can map touch controls with the app this works perfect even more than the previous one... also u have to check the controller settings inside the game. I've done it after I got the controller and only took me 5mins to understand what to do inside the game, the controller and the app as well... ur welcome!

[@jinjasplay]

i think you mentioned the kishi ultra also has hall effect sticks? Are you sure about that? because what kept me away from it is exactly the lack of HES. but if they have… anyway, another great video!

[@GameTechTalk]

Wow, you are right. I had a brain fart because it is written hall effect on the box but it's the triggers, not the sticks. Well, at least that's consistent with me preferring ALPS sticks 😅. Thanks for the heads up, I'll make a pinned comment shortly!

[@봉카-d2k]

Thank you for the review. I would like to know if it is possible to use PS Remote Play on iPhone via C-type without using Bluetooth.

[@GameTechTalk]

Yes because remote play on iPhone (contrary to Android) can be used with any controller as long as the iPhone accepts the connection, which it does on the PS/iPhone mode. But even if you were to connect Bluetooth with the Xbox mode? It would still work, it’s that cool on iOS.

[@xXMadWabbitXx]

Need to be very lucky to be chosen as the winner. I wanted it as a spare controller and maybe for my old phone.😂

[@chaics85]

Love to get the m15 as it is cheaper than the g8. Just a question, dont your phone heats up during gaming when you use this mobile controllers? my old SD8G1 phone heats up so much my game play stuttering like crazy.

[@GameTechTalk]

I don’t live in that hot of an area so quite frankly, I haven’t had thermal throttling in quite some time. Not since S8G1 on Android, and hardly ever in iPhone 14, not once on 15. But I’ll do my best to test that out when the time comes that I bench these devices.

[@JaeSii]

If you have questions, don't hesitate but one thing for sure, these are two great options.

[@danchowdhury8548]

I'm very tempted as a galaxy fold owner. What are your thoughts on having your fold 'hang down' and the weight balance? Bluetooth g8+ wouldn't have this problem but it's double the price.

[@GameTechTalk]

Personally, I don't mind it all all, if anything, the PS Portal showed the world it could be done and I'd argue that it's a similar feel, if more compact. Then there are controllers like the ROG Tessen that literally, using it with a Fold is a better experience than a regular candybar phone. My point? It works fine in most scenarios, even better in others, it's definitely viable to put telescopic controllers on Folds. But back to M15, I think it's a fine experience with a Fold opened. Cheers!

[@TA-kz1jc]

Thanks for the review. So this doesnt work with the same mapping app as the M05?

[@GameTechTalk]

It does, but that's a third party app. So specifically for mapping, you'll find solutions, but for tweaking the inner workings of the controller, like stick curve, deadzones, etc... There isn't a proprietary software for that.

How I wish 8BitDo would tackle the telescopic market. They seem determined to stick to the things they are familiar with though. Good luck btw!

[@mrjohn3]

Razer Kishi Ultra does not has Hall Effects joysticks. Only an anti friction ring and ability to redefine dead zones in app. At the price its a deal breaker for me.

[@GameTechTalk]

Yeah that's a mistake on my part, I got a brainfart cause the box does have "hall effect" written on it but it's the triggers not the sticks. My bad, with that said, it does show that I'm consistent in saying I prefer ALPS sticks and I stand by the fact that they offer better joystick experience overall, with that said, Hall Effects in Vader 4 Pro and TMR are drastically closing the gap!

[@Linson7]

Nice review

[@GameTechTalk]

Thanks!

[@MinKiu410]

I can only buy either the G8 or this one. I plan to play on both my Ipad M1 11 inch and my Samsung S23 Ultra. I play mainly just Wuthering waves / Honkai Star Rail / Punishing Gray Raven. Which controller do you recommend for me ? Please

[@MinKiu410]

G8 or G8 Plus or this one

[@GameTechTalk]

The G8+ might have problems with Honkai Star Rail when playing on your S23. Because you need an Xbox mode, which the G8+ kind of don't have unless you are wired, which means you'll have to run a cable on your S23, eliminating the "wireless" nature of the solution. The M15 works across the board but a bit less "screen mapping" friendly because you have to rely on third party apps, it also isn't easily compatible with your iPad M1 11", whereas if you buy the tablet version of the Memo S3, it won't be as compatible with your S23. The best option sounds like it should be the G8, but you don't have rumble, which shouldn't be too much of an issue for you, it doesn't have bluetooth, also doesn't seem to be an issue with the games you play, and you don't need to worry about 3.5mm as it has one, also no need to worry about the battery. It's easily moddable to support both your phone and tablet as well. Seems like G8 is the best pick for you.

[@SacrificeJP]

Thank you for the incredible review. I also absolutely love how you always compare the products with their alternatives. I would really love to win the giveaway as it's basically impossible for me to buy it at this point because of a new export regulation in my country (can't buy anything over 30 euros).

[@GameTechTalk]

Dang, that's a fierce regulation! To prevent money coming out of the country's economy I presume. Well, let's hope lady luck is on your side, good luck!

[@SacrificeJP]

@@GameTechTalk yeah that's kinda the logic but I wish it was at least for the items that can be found in my country. The only ones that could be found here are asus or razer controllers. Maybe backbone as well but it was out of stock for a long time.

[@LostPatriot4]

On my m15, the x button is a little mushy when starting to push. I mean it has a small distance before reaching the click (not happening on a,b,y). Do you have the same on yours ?

[@GameTechTalk]

I do not no. The audio is ever so slightly different but the feel itself is the same.

[@okers12]

Better than M05?

[@GameTechTalk]

Most definitely yes, not to say the M05 is not good, if you've seen my review, you know I praised it. But this one is definitely superior.

[@creriey4945]

I been slowing down on trying to find one for my need. There's just way too many options to settle with just one. And I'm not even talking about which one has the better joystick and whatnot, but about features, connectivity, ports etc. Getting into this with the goal of finding one for both mobile and PC gaming was a mistake. I might just get a PC controller with a phone clip eventually. It almost feel like they're trolling me when they added bluetooth to the g8 but got rid of the 3.5mm jack to make this. Maybe they did that because it would seem weird for the 3.5mm to only work when using the usb C. But then basically even the bluetooth only work when using the usb C. I am genuinely confused

[@GameTechTalk]

Hold for it 2-3 weeks for reviews on an upcoming one that might be better designed for your needs. Until then, the M15 is definitely a great solution but the 3.5mm jack is a deal breaker for some and I get that.

[@creriey4945]

@@GameTechTalk I see. Looking forward to that. hope it'll be good hahah

[@Irving_alexis011]

Well we ever see a comparison video of m05 vs m15?

[@GameTechTalk]

Comparison, not directly no and the simple reason is that I consider them to be a different class. Much like heavyweight vs welterweight. However, there is the "Royal Rumble" equivalent and that'll be the next tierlist! ;) Cheers :)

[@zulhusnizakri8665]

I'm planning to buy a controller for gaming and i'm currently debating between these 3. Gamesir X2S/EasySMX M05/EasySMX M15 All of them are almost the same price in my country so I just want the best one. Can anyone help me decide?

[@anonymous_dot_com2326]

@@zulhusnizakri8665 im going for an EasySMX M15. It looks amazing

[@GameTechTalk]

If you don't mind sacrificing a bit of portability, the M15 is vastly superior to the other two.

[@FelipeBaccho]

Nice!

Very!

[@gabrielemazza7546]

Does it work with remote play on android?

[@GameTechTalk]

It does yes, just gotta put yourself on the PS Mode and you are set.

[@UnAssimilated1]

M15 has a 35w pt charging if Im not mistaken

[@GameTechTalk]

Possible, I’ve only seen it go up to 25w personally but it could’ve been the device, or the charger. With that said, I don’t think at 25w that there would ever be a risk of discharging while gaming even the most intensive titles. Overheating though…

[@UnAssimilated1]

​@@GameTechTalkHi! You are definitely right that it can be a phone in question. G8, with one of the updates pumped it up to 27w also, I've seen comments that people are getting 7w only tho.. I found that my original charging/data (c-c) cable for RM9P does not work at all, but lower rated Xiaomi (a-c) one does. Passthrough charging is awesome feature to have in a phone, it preserves battery helth & with how powerhungry SD8gen3 is, when using Emulators , it's a God send. That Abxylute S9 has me regretting G8 purchase xD Hope build qulity is good, prototypes don't seem "sturdy" so looking forward to your video on it!

[@GameTechTalk]

@@UnAssimilated1 Nahh don't regret the G8, keep in mind you were able to play with it for X amount of time, its still a great controller by any account. Plus, if you back the S9, you won't have it before early October if they ship accordingly to plans, so the G8 still serves its purpose but yeah... the S9 is phenomenal! xD

[@Vladysluv]

Thought the easySMX was iphone exclusive, glad to know that it's not

[@GameTechTalk]

Tks!

[@hardknock55]

CODM need to support more controllers and not just backbone. I’ve had two backbones and there’s ALOT more better controllers out there.

[@GameTechTalk]

Quite frankly, we tend to forget but Tencent is strongly connected to CODM so I wonder if they orchestrated that "Backbone only" compatibility deal... It's quite frustrating for people that play this game and the Backbone is by no standard a great controller for shooters so what gives?!?

M15 for $17 or M05 for $8?

[@GameTechTalk]

Whaaaa?!? Where do you find those prices?!? Hmmm... That's a tough decision. I would go M15 for $17 because it definitely is better, especially for longer periods of gaming but if you clock 30mins here or there once or twice a day? The M05 will do the job plenty and $8 ?!? That's less than a McDonald's combo... Like... How does it even??

[@ed15345]

@@GameTechTalk it’s from Aliexpress, stacking their back to school sale, store coupons, coins, and credits from their current event. Also was debating between the G8 for $25 but I don’t think it’s worth the premium over the M15

[@GameTechTalk]

@@ed15345 It could be worth, to the right person I’d say. For someone that values 3.5mm and just a bulkier, sturdier-feeling controller, at $25, it’s also a steal. Dang, good on you, that’s impressive discounts stacking, I gotta look this up myself, thanks!

[@DjangoDrango]

for me the g8 is to thick, the grips are very uncomfortable, i actually get cramps. Does this come closer to an xbox joystick?.

[@GameTechTalk]

It’s not « like » an Xbox joystick, just to temper expectations, but it is indeed closer in the fact that it is slimmer in the design.
