The New NACON RIG MG-X Could Have Been One Of The Best. Hands-On Review

The all-new NACON RIG MG-X Wireless Telescopic controller for android was something I’ve been waiting to be released for a long time now and in this video, we see if it's worth Buying. It is Officially licensed by Microsoft Xbox for Game Streaming but it works for Native android games and Emulators on your Android phone Like PPSSPP, Mupen 64, Redream, and The dolphin emulator but unfortunately this Controller falls short in the trigger department.

The Kishi's USB Type C connection beats wireless everyday, it's actually a well made Razer product for once.

[@latibass]

I bought the Kishi and regretted it once I realised it didn't have fast charging

[@ChrisBurnes]

If the Kishi had fast charging, and a headphone jack... It would literally be the perfect device.

[@HenryManziniReyes]

@@ChrisBurnes what device had fast charging and headphone Jack being controller type c?

[@ChrisBurnes]

@@HenryManziniReyes I’m not aware of one. I hope there is a “Kishi 2”, and those would be the killer additional features.

[@HenryManziniReyes]

@@ChrisBurnes maybe happen or i hope so

[@Nickbaldeagle02]

8bitdo should make a telescopic controller. I've emailed customer support. If more people do it they might make one.

[@misterdneh]

I just seen this controller on Amazon and was curious of course you tested it lol!

[@uncaringbear]

Trust me, you do not want to use a controller with triggers that require a lot of force to press down. It doesn't take long to realize how uncomfortable it feels and you never really get used to it.

[@skubeeraw]

walmart had a bundle. the razer kishi and thier lower end model wireless earbuds for 49.99. since then nothing has replaced my kishi. best android phone controller to date.

[@arcaderacer586]

I was interested until he said some people said it was uncomfortable. I have learned that the smaller form factor controllers are not for me. My fingers get cramps from pressing the triggers. This happens on the smaller ipega controllers so I switched to the larer Sized ipega controllers and they feel better to me.

[@nelsonr.9450]

Liked the video, but I don't like the look when it's open :/ I'll keep my Saitake ❤ love that thing!

[@noxprime9701]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 great test. What's apps do you use for Android fps counter overlay ?

[@JakeAmpersand1088]

*_I just want a Kishi that has Bluetooth but can still be wired aswell and a audio jack._*

[@ChristianCastle]

Same

[@vesder819]

Same, until then the current Kishi. The other controllers aren't as good. Especially that X2 with hyper sensitive sticks and huge deadzones.

[@milkapeismilky5464]

I love the Razer Kishi. Paired with my spare S21, I now I have a handheld PS2. And everything else below PS2. AetherSX2 is an incredible emulator, I recently donated $50 to the AetherSX2 devs, because their emulator is worth every penny.

[@MrHorstBeppo]

Cool to see some review off this controller. Is there any lifesign of the pro version jet? Does it even exist in the wild? Personally that one looked even more compelling with the more xbox controller sized shape.

[@karehaqt]

The Pro is supposedly coming nearer the end of the year, so hopefully not long to wait.

[@MarkGibbons]

This is not only an expensive phone controller, it's the most expensive controller I've ever seen, period. It's priced the same as an Xbox Elite controller. It's not far from being two Razer Kishis or more than 15x the price of eBay/Amazon branded knock offs. How much could they possibly charge for a pro version? Here in Australia this POS controller is $169.95! Sony's dualsense is only $83!

[@snikeman95]

We need more controllers like this with USB c!!!

[@verumsubash2420]

Awesome 🔥💫

[@drewk6614]

I wish they'd make one big enough for a tablet. The ipega ones seem to be the only ones big enough and I hate that the buttons are below the right stick. I can't reach the triggers while using the buttons.

[@TornadoBarrage]

I don't know why they don't make one that is basically an Xbox controller but split

[@kissingmel11]

They do

[@TornadoBarrage]

@@kissingmel11 when I made that comment i didnt see any, i actually own one now lol

[@zyxyuv1650]

Yo ETA, all I wanna see is the Retroid Pocket 2+ review! I hope we don't have to wait a month for the review. It's only 100 bux and the chip is far more capable than all previous RK3266 handhelds. It looks like it may be THE FIRST handheld ever that has no major flaws, is cheap, and is fast enough to run everything that I want to emulate without problems, has good controls, high res screen, and stereo sound. I pre-ordered one, but there's no reviews yet except Taki's preview.

[@willtato8778]

What keymapper apps are available for non-rooted android phones? The only one that I'm aware of right now is with the gamesir app for the X2.

[@RobbieUtah]

Thanks for the video! I play a mobile game called War Robots and nobody's been able to suggest a good controller. (Except the Flydigi apex2 series works) your best suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks!

[@ChristianCastle]

Kishi is a good option

[@dbzblitz88]

Had the pro version but felt to big just ordered this one looks way better

[@jasonwu2758]

Being sensitive to latency nothing beats direct USB C connection. I have a Razer Kishi and I do like it a lot except for the d pad. It just flattens out if not pressing perfect left, right ect. Hard to do accurate fast inputs. Maybe I'll look into modding the pivot on it but for now digital to analogue in retroarch does great.

[@jasonwu2758]

@@bland9876 They did it pretty good many generations ago.. (SNES)

[@TheSosios]

Yeah I had that same flattening problem with the D-Pad, did the tape mod and now it feels much better, it's clickier and you can easily hit any direction, so I'd personally recommend it (I'd also recommend being careful with it because I did break a few screw holes in the process).

[@-BarathKumarS]

@@TheSosios What's the tape mod? Can i have the link for it?

[@midget35]

Can you tell me if the MG-X shows up as an XInput gamepad in Windows 10 when connected through Bluetooth?

[@myaul8157]

Looks nice and easy to hold , but it doesn't seem like it considers side firing speakers much .

[@djcasl]

Are you gonna test the RIG MG-X PRO as well when it comes available?

[@TuPhonez4Free]

yeah this is an interesting controller. Im still liking and using my fo free razer kishi controller. lol

[@jimmiepnguyen389]

I like the Kishi also, had it for about a year now, but after 10 mins or so, my hand for cramp most of the time, now im looking for another solution for my oneplus 7t

[@danielrivera6405]

Can you do a teardown on this controller? I bought this and the tension on the sprig is so strong that when I put in my fold 3 it slipped by accident and it snapped the right analog stick clean off. I don't know where to begin to start the teardown.

[@DjadamGee]

Can you please test the new GeForce now 3080 tier for us? Thank you!

[@altafhusen007]

Nice👍 video sir

[@evionlast]

@ETA PRIME, what if you let the controller fall, phone included, Does it hold the phone?

[@FlubFlubber]

Which controller is able to work with the s22 ultra but with the game wild blood + that all controls also work. I have not immediately seen in videos that a controller can play that game. Buddy of mine has a recent xbox controller, you can connect with the s22 ultra, but wild blood can't be played.

[@TKCPrime]

Just got this one. It doesn't seem to work in Into the Breach on Android. But then again maybe the Android version isn't meant to be controlled with controllers.

[@leonwallace8646]

Looks like this might actually fit a Fold Z3 in a case with the phone open. The razor kishi does not at all. Edit: this does fit a fold z3, even in a Spigen case. Photos on reddit. This is probably my best option.

[@lIIuminatl]

I have it for my Zfold3 and I've had the x2. This is the best hands down. You get used to the triggers.

[@adamkissassi]

@@lIIuminatl this fits the galaxy z fold 3 damn thats good

I'm doubting, I love the Kinshi but my heands get sweaty relatively easy which makes me lose grip with the Kinshi. That's a big let down.

works for i phones ? can play ps5 gaming?

[@hansnystrompastor8690]

How can you map the controller for games that not have native suport?

[@tattoodrdoke]

You don't have to press the trigger all the way in, as soon as the trigger moves it activates so great for fps not so much driving games

thats a lie, its not auto 100%, i play forza with it and i can control the speeds

[@MrFlashpan]

Just ordered one on amazon uk for £76. I like the look of it and I dont want to keep plugging/unplugging my expensive smart phones into the type C port on the Kishi/gamesir x2. Type C ports are fairly flimsy and easily damaged, the Gamesir x2 has an angled Type C connector but I don't like plugging a £650 smart phone into a 45 degree angled connector, It's so easy to snap a Type c internal connector. I think the industry needs a new type of charging/data transfer connection, Mainly a more durable connection for our precious expensive devices, so they can live longer.

[@karehaqt]

Type C is only as flimsy as the person handling it.

It's noticeable in any fast paced or competitive games. Pair an Xbox One controller (easiest to just get doing without setup) to your phone and try it out, if you don't notice any delay then that's sorted, go wireless ;)

@@miket6700 No worries mate! If you're planning to play a lot of racing games you're going to want that crucial analogue triggers on the Kishi to control over braking and acceleration (more so racing sim type).

Steam deck has been delayed by 2 months. This is the e-mail i recieve this morning. Hello The launch of Steam Deck will be delayed by two months. We're sorry about this-we did our best to work around the global supply chain issues, but due to material shortages, components aren’t reaching our manufacturing facilities in time for us to meet our initial launch dates. Based on our updated build estimates, Steam Deck will start shipping February 2022. This will be the new start date of the reservation queue-you will keep your place in line but dates will shift back accordingly. Reservation date estimates will be updated shortly after this announcement. Again, we're sorry we won’t be able to make our original ship date. We'll continue working to improve reservation dates based on the new timeline, and will keep you updated as we go.

[@thebocop]

The Razer uses the USB C port which reduces latency, I see no value in BT at all in comparision since we already get so much latency in software emulation as it is.
