Punching Above Its Weight - BSP-D3 Review

I finally had the time to review the BSP-D3, a Chinese telescopic controller. One of those no-name brands, but with a great surprise. We are going to review its analog sticks, buttons, compatibility with Android, iPhone, PS3, PS4 and Switch, and with all the features it promises. Let's see if it's serious or just another attempt to sell the same controller in another shell. Don't forget to subscribe.

Great content. Hope you keep doin reviews as good as this.

[@EvoEvolver]

The m1-m2 are programmable buttons, hold Select + m1 or 2 then press the button you want to copy. then press the m1 or 2. now you can have 2 face button functions at the back.

[@0totech]

Wow. It works. Man I tried so many things and coudn't make it work. Thanks.

[@dowaynebreedt2576]

Awesome thanks !

Does it work as extra buttons in third party apps (such as mantis) ?

[@bloggerhasan9686]

Hey man I am having problems. For some reason my controllers lights are turning on and it's pairing but when I press the buttons it doesn't work can anyone please help me. It's not turning off either.

[@mlbbshorts3548]

This is your first video that i watched. And i am impressed by how much detail review you did. I thought you have over 100k+ subs because of the video quality but i was shocked to see you have less than a thousand. You earnes yourself a sub. Keep making videos like this. Im confident you will get hundred thousand subs by the end of the year. God bless Edit: does it also works for cloud gaming on android. Like i want to play ps3 and ps4 games. Will it work?

[@0totech]

Thanks for the comment. I haven't tried PS cloud service so I'm not sure it will work. If it's like PS Remote that only support official controllers, it might not work. With xCloud it works perfectly.

The M1 button works if you pair it shootingV3 mode, you can map it with the app to a certain area of the screen but you need to create a custom layout, the M2 however, doesn't ever work as much as I tried.

[@smoothchills3072]

There is a hidden Reset button inside the tiny hole at the left side of the charging port. I use a needle to press that reset button. It forces a shut down to it. My D3 controller hanged and I had to open the controller just to discover that button. It is not in the manual.

[@user-pr5vh3rt7c]

Please do more reviews on cheap telescopic controllers. Your reviews are among the best. Can you compare this to Saitake 7007F/1 for example?

Yeah actually I have that one on store so it should out shortly. But I can tell you, while the buttons are better, the sticks are much worse, not to mention only uses one protocol so only works on Android. Thanks for the comment.

[@0totech]

I suppose you already seen the answer in the Spanish channel. But again, great for Aether SX2. The color you like the best.

[@Saiops]

I got mine from aliexpress for 16 €, I'm using it on X-input mode on a S10 with broken touchscreen. Everything is perfect but somebody know a way to automatically reconnect it after power on or reboot? I always have to connect a mouse and select the joypad to connect it again. Thanks in advance

[@0totech]

It should connect automatically. But just turn it on, don't use R1 + Power once it's paired. This way works for me.

[@hughwest6808]

Do you know anything about the mocute 061? It being a split controller makes it more flexible, it has a larger battery capacity, the buttons look nicer and it even looks more ergonomic than the D3, but bad reviews about the 060, such as buttons being too soft make me hesitant to get it instead of the D3.

[@0totech]

Yeah. It seems to be quite good. Let me se if I can order it soon.

[@hughwest6808]

​@@0totech Thank you for considering to review it! You deserve more subs considering the professionalism of your reviews and proper testing of the analog sticks. I'm planning on getting a s20 plus or s20 fe (depending on the price) for emulation and I will also get a controller then. The main reason I'm interested in the 061 is that I may also want to use the 2 controller pieces separately when using my treadmill and ipad pro. I've read people use their Switch joy-cons like that. I'd love to know how they feel in hand when used individually or if they're too big for that to be comfortable. I'm also curious how the D-Pad and ABXY buttons are (compared to the D3). I've read that mocute D-Pads of older models are bad to the point of causing blisters, but then a good D-Pad only seems important for fighting games which I don't intend to play. For Nintendo and PS2 games decent ABXY and R1/2 + L1/2 buttons would suffice, I think.

In the manual l, it says how to setup the M1 and M2 buttons, but it's confusing Edit: I figured out how to program the M1 and M2 buttons 1. Press and hold the SEL button, then hold the M1 or M2 buttons, Wich ever you wanna program 2. hold the two buttons until the 3 blue lights start blinking rapidly, then let go of the two buttons 3. Press the button that you want to program to the M1 or M2 button 4. Press the M1 or M2 buttons, whichever one you programmed, and your finished 5. Repeat step 1 and press the M1 or M2 button, whichever one you programmed, to clear the input
