Got this free from amazon, and I have had the Kishi and the Gamesir x3 and this one is easily the best mobile controller I have ever had. Actually crazy impressive
Been waiting patiently for you to drop this review. Xbox side of the house and android user. Going to mention that I nearly lost my left thumb when younger which left me with limited movement and no feelings in the end/tip all around the nail area. When it comes to game pads they last between 3 to 4 months before stick drift is the main feature. When you did the all budgets xbox controller guide I was proud to share I was in the poor man's segment having used all the recommended victims (turtle, power to name a few) until the Gamesir G7 SE vid dropped. The next day amazon dropped that game changer off(pun intended), which is still going strong(feels as good as the day it landed) with non of the usual stick stick and drift. The G7 SE impressors me so I'll be looking to aquire the G8 after the holiday experience passes by. Hope you can tell what I think of the review, thanks for sharing... "👍"...
Great and thorough review! I ordered it as the gamesir x2 pro was pretty great but it did feel like holding a brick. The Galileo looks a lot more comfortable and the hall effect+headphone jack is a great addition. Will have to buy a case for this though, was hoping it'd be bundled in like the gamesir x2 pro did.
You can use this with pc with the Moonlight program. Basically you can stream your pc to your phone and then the controller will work. I even got my Wii U gamepad playing fortnite with Moonlight.
Makes sense actually, I'm guessing that the USB C port is only for passthrough of charging. All you need is a USB C extension cable to the PC to make it work
I’ve seen other reviewers say that Backbone has a lot more support natively and just works more times than this, while if something doesn’t work here you kind of need to fiddle with manually mapping. I love the Hall effect sticks and ergonomics, but the user experience means a lot to me too. I heard the software app is a little more seamless on Backbone too. So knowing all that … I kind of pause and am not buying either until I figure out what’s more important to me. I currently have the Kishi and that’s gotten the job done at least.
With Moonlight + Sunshine you can, for example, stream your PC games to an Android device. So if connected to your big ass tv in the living room you can play there with no hassle. And with Playnite you can aggregate all launchers (steam, ea, epic, etc, even emulators) into one place. Pretty cool stuff. Gonna get my G8 for this
Finally a RUclipsr that speaks the truth about this controller, your the only one that mentioned the modes for the controller. Therefore, it works with COD mobile, I'd assume PS mode would work as it would be picked up as a Dualshock 4 or Dualsense on COD mobile. Every other RUclipsr I watched didn't mention them at all. Thank you
Bro, if you wanna do the gamepad tester. Try using the female usb-c to male usb-a cable. That will work. Instead of plugging into the charging port, dude.
Moonlight is a Nvidia thing to take over your computer. I use it with my steamdeck to play my desktop. And my kishi v2 died and the razer return was so bad, eventually i will pick up this up.
I'd like to see a software that allows you to customize deadzones. Minecraft, for example, has huge built-in deadzones. I'd like to see an anti-deadzone feature like what the SteamDeck has.
Have you tried plugging it into a PC using a male to female USB-C extension cable hooked up to the connector that goes into the phone, rather than the charging port?
@@GamerHeavenOfficial That's the problem, the port is for power only, to transfer input signal, you have to use the Type C jack you use to connect your phone. Using a male to female connector worked with previous type C controllers of Gamesir, it should work the same here.
In fact this controller WORK on PC, you was just using the wrong port to connect it. Oddly it only works using a USB-C female cable plugged into the phone port. It is not very convenient, but I can assure you it works :P
Thank you for making this wonderful tutorial. I just bought the Gamesir G8 and was trying it out. I have a question: how do you take out the phone safely? Do you have to wait until it goes into standby mode before taking out the phone. Also I have a hard time pulling the phone out of the movable usb port. I hope you can provide me with some helpful tips. Thank you very much.
I bought a Kishi to play xbox cloud and it had the most horrendous input from those sticks. Some how it centers all the imput to the horizontal and vertical axis making any diagonal imput extremely inconsistent. I don't understand how is it so popular and has so many good reviews since it was not only me, my friends that bought at the same time had the same problem.
@@varunaX mine snapped without problem, it is a software problem, check the input with an app and you will see it, I tested 3 units so I am confident in saying that it is something that it is going on in all of them.
Oh shit i was waiting for u to review on this... since it's quite pricey i was holding off.... Also moonlight is an app for your phone that will allow you to remote play your pc if you using nvidia .. it's like that old shield thing but it's an app...
the back buttons sells me. If only the PS Portal has one then its ok because I use the back buttons for the L3 and R3 buttons so yeah no buy the portal for now and im getting this one. BTW, the moving type c port is brilliant. The perfect version will be Hall effect sticks and triggers, mechanical buttons and bumpers, smooth like the 8bitdo snpro 30 dpad, 2 or 4 (if possible) back buttons and the current support of this controller.
Can you comfortably wrap your ring and pinky fingers around the grip handles? Man if this had clicky ABXY it would be the goat mobile controller ... Trying to decide if it's worth upgrading from a X2 pro with aftermarket grips
This would be neat with IPad Mini 6TH gen, if it fits in it that is(it's 8,3 inch). Found your channel through The Techne and I have to give credit for the chill vibes in this review and the clear explanation about the tech. Also, what controller that isn't the V2 Wolverine would be the best replacement for a Razer Wolverine V1 Tournament edition? (Xbox)
the usb port on the botton is passthrough charging only, no data transfer to test if it works on PC, you should try plugging a usb cable with a type c female port into the usb on the side
i just got it in the mail today. i haven't done a whole lot of testing but i can confirm it works on PC! gamepad tester detects it as a gamesir controller, and steam big picture and the crew motorfest detect it as a dualshock controller when running in PS mode. very pleasantly surprised!!
@@hey01e5I'm happy to hear that the product is great and can be connected to the pc. I have a question, how good is the phone app and is it working well with the g-mode for touchscreen games that don't have native controller support? Also, when plugged into the pc, do the trigger buttons still maintain pressure control? Or does it turn into hair trigger mode?
Dang if only it would work with the Switch.... Hear me out, flip it in vertical orientation and this controller would be the PERFECT flip grip-like for some shmups. I admit this is a niche use case but I digress...
So I've tried many of these slip on style controllers and the 1 problem a majority them have is you have to take your phone case off...which I hate. I made the choice to jump into ps portal and its perfect.
You can use some cases with them. Using Samsung A71 phone, I have razer Kishi and if I take out the inserts, it fits a really chunky case no prob. Then I have a gamesir x2 pro and while the chunky case won't work in it, it does work with a standard soft clear tpu case.
Is it possible to add an Xbox controller profile for this device? I just got mine and all the games on my iPhone 15 Pro show up as PlayStation glyphs. With the physical buttons having an Xbox layout, it makes it confusing for me (I’m old lol). Is there a way to change this? Thank you so very much in advance!
Does the controller support cases for phones, the backbone gen 2 does. It looked like your iphone had a case on it. But i cant tell, im an android guy. Please let me know. Great vid
I have one coming in today, may delete or just add onto this comment but this was one of the better reviews I found however only found it after I ordered 😂 Looking forward to it as the iPhone i got is new to me too and one of the games i enjoy is crossplay but more i think about it the more it makes sense that i would want to play it on mobile when possible rather then PC, touchscreen just isn't that good and this solves that problem. The big question I'll be finding out is how well iPhone 15 (smaller, standard model) work with cases and this device as i've heard mixed assessment of that, seen people using it with some cases if not all, can't know until i try but from specs i saw on GameSir's website there is a possibility i may be good even with the bigger more protective case I initially opted for as phone itself is bit thinner then Pro options, worse comes to worse I need to go shopping for a thin case that still offers some drop protection.
Hey bro on the 15th of December they is a new strikepack for the ps5 controller which has 4 paddles will u be makeing a review on it its called strikepack horizon
Is it possible that you’re supposed to use the phone connector as opposed to the charging pass through? Maybe you did but then I’ve never seen a usb-c female to usb male cord.
There actually is, it's called an extension cable and I think there's an adapter piece for the extension too. From what I've been reading, it works on PC by connecting this way
Anyone know how to turn off the lights on this controller while in use? It’s literally the only thing I don’t like about this and I can’t find any way to turn the lights off when in a dark room i.e. in bed
Flydigi have best mapping software for mobile , like a TOP TIER. And it's universal. My choice is to have both xD But yeah , I have Vader 3 Pro and it have best dpad in controllers on the market.
You actually can connect it to pc. This guy just did it wrong. You have to use the same usb c that goes into your phone. You can do that by using a 90° female usb c.
I OWN A BACKBONE ONE GEN 2 (PLAYSTATION EDITION) AND ITS MEH CAUSE ITS OVERPRICED AT $100 BUCKS AND HAS A TERRIBLE BUILD QUALITY IN TERMS OF PARTS USED/LAYOUT...I WAS LOOKING INTO GETTING THE ELO VAGABOND (PLEASE REVIEW IT!!!) BEING IT HAS HALL EFFECT STICKS AS WELL (ALSO OVERPRICED AT $150 FOR THE CONTROLLER - $30 BUCKS FOR HE CARRYING CASE AND $30 BUCKS FOR A STAND TO DISPLAY IT) BUT THIS GAMESIR G8 GALILEO SEEMS LIKE IT WILL BE MY NEXT CONTROLLER BEING IT HAS HALL EFFECT STICKS, SWAPPLE ANALOG STICKS AND BACK BUTTONS....MY ONLY GRIP IS THE COLOR WAY/STICK LAYOUT (PLAYSTATION STYLE WITH PLASTATION SYMBOLS ON THE BUTTONS) AND THE LACK OF EVEN NUMBER OF REPLACEMENT ANALOG STICKS (MAYBE THEY WILL OFFER REPLACEMENT STICKS IN THE FUTURE?)
No PC and bluetooth support was a stopping point for me. That's an epic fail for Gamesir, such a wasted opportunity to sell a solid, cross-platform $80 controller.
You can buy one of those cable that have usb c female to usb to use it for pc, i kmow its alot more work just to use the controller, but hey, there an option to use em
To counteract the guy saying gamesir suck I will say my g2 pro has been awesome so far, much better than the backbone, I've had both and sold the backbone, everything is mush and the stick are loose AF joycon sticks, very bad. The only part gamesir sucks at is software, like most Chinese controller manufacturers.
He may have had a very bad experience, I am in the same boat as you currently. I have 6 GameSir controllers, I use 3 of them ALOT and I haven't had any issues yet :)
I love how you keep calling it a backbone clone and then casually throw in that the razer Kishi is similar too. Kishi released almost 2 months before backbone did so if anything it's a kishi style controller and backbone should be the casual mention as it came later. Also kishi won awards, backbone didn't. Kishi was the market leader and first mainstream usb-c mobile controller. Backbone was the clone. Get your facts straight if you want to try to be a journalist
@@HappyWolf182I’m assuming he hasn’t reviewed any of the other GameSir mobile controllers, since he was campaigning for them to send him an X3 in the video. I think all of their mobile controllers are better than the competition…the G7se is awesome, too. Kinda big fan of GameSir at this point.
Speaking of Gamesir, I was searching the subreddits a while back and read a post on that they may announce a new version of the T4 Kaleid, which I assume would be wireless? Anyone here about this? I haven’t been able to find something about this and looking to purchase a PC game pad relatively soon and would love to see this version. (I’d buy it it immediately)
@@antoniolandi2674 This was made after that had released. People are clamoring about a revised T4 Kaleid. The cyclone was already known about well before this.
You do realise this has nothing remotely similar to a backbone to be called a clone, don't you? So many controllers you got there and can't even get that right... P.S: the port you tried to hook the controller to your PC is a charging port only, next time why dont you try and plug an USB-C extention into that port you plug your phone... that might help.
I hate that the USBc is on the right side. That means it won't work for folding phones. The fold would be down below the controller instead of coming out the top. Its a dumb design decision that alienates over 30 million folding phone users, all of whom have tons of money to drop....
May the algorithm be with you
thank you
best use of this is streaming from a gaming pc with moonlight and sunshine, play your pc from anywhere in the house!
Got this free from amazon, and I have had the Kishi and the Gamesir x3 and this one is easily the best mobile controller I have ever had. Actually crazy impressive
I was leaning towards getting this. But after watching your review now I'm definitely getting it.
Hope you enjoy it!
I’d love to see something like this work for the iPad mini. I would prefer that much more than the PS Portal.
bro that would be sick
It does. Open it, remove the nubs, and boom. Did it today, works great.
@@swarbrickjessejust to confirm this controller fits the ipad mini 6?
There is a video on RUclips, but it’s an easy mod probably 10 mins total and then it allows the g8 to extend to fit iPad mini 6
@@swarbrickjessethank you! I’ve seen the mod video on the X3 and was wondering if it would work on the G8!
I requested for this multiple times on their live. Thanks man !
Hope you enjoyed it!
Sony should’ve just released their own dual sense version of this type of controller instead of releasing the portal lol

Oh wow. Now that a great accessory to buy especially for playing retroarch and modern games
agreed
Thanks for doing all these reviews. I always come to you before buying
My pleasure Sean
That swiveling usb port is game changing
Agreed
Best well rounded iPhone controller imo. Only thing that sucks is the lack of software support from GameSir
Great review as always, hopefully the next model will work on PC.
May gamesir finish that hall effect controller with 4 back buttons soon
that will be a great day
You can use this with pc with the Moonlight program. Basically you can stream your pc to your phone and then the controller will work. I even got my Wii U gamepad playing fortnite with Moonlight.
It works on pc though, you have to use female usb c and plugged it in from the male plug not the pass-through port at the bottom.
Makes sense actually, I'm guessing that the USB C port is only for passthrough of charging.
All you need is a USB C extension cable to the PC to make it work

Too bad I'm not a mobile gamer because that gray and purple is hitting my nostalgia button.
it does look nice
@@GamerHeavenOfficial If GameSir decides to put this color on one of their other controllers, I'd probably get it.

And with Playnite you can aggregate all launchers (steam, ea, epic, etc, even emulators) into one place. Pretty cool stuff. Gonna get my G8 for this

wish the dpad was top instead...please make a new version GameSir!

Just at the intro, but will PSRP pick it up as a working pad, or is it limited?
Oh shit, hell yee
Moonlight is Nvidia streaming from your PC, kinda dead with Steam Link tbh
Maybe box design was finalized before the 15 released, and they didn't want to redo it?
ooooohh
Also maybe a c-c coupler on the inside usb port could make it PC compatible
Is it worth upgrading from backbone to this? I'm assuming it is because I just absolutely HATE the smaller joysticks and triggers on my backbone

How did you know I was looking at these😂
Can do do a video on the kishi ultimate plz I'm stuck between that and this ty
So this wouldn't work on a LG V30?
Darn it. Ive waited years for the perfect controller to use this big old screen for remote play.
Anyone know if there's a travel case for this controller? Their X2 came with a travel case.

It should unless it’s like a military grade otter box or something
Dislike you can't use it on PC, the Backbone has a option to use on desktop wired, but I like the Hall effect so that might be a benefit on Gamesir

usb c female to female an it should work fine on pc, you plugged into a charge only port, otherwise great vid just thought id help out
The two distinct thumb sticks are to simulate a Gamecube controller, you're welcome.

I love how you keep calling it a backbone clone and then casually throw in that the razer Kishi is similar too. Kishi released almost 2 months before backbone did so if anything it's a kishi style controller and backbone should be the casual mention as it came later. Also kishi won awards, backbone didn't. Kishi was the market leader and first mainstream usb-c mobile controller. Backbone was the clone. Get your facts straight if you want to try to be a journalist
And he doesnt know what a moonlight app is and his youtube name is gamer haeven lol
Also he says he's never seen the swiveling/moving USB port on the controller but the Gamesir X2 Pro has the exact same thing
@@HappyWolf182 exactly!
@@HappyWolf182I’m assuming he hasn’t reviewed any of the other GameSir mobile controllers, since he was campaigning for them to send him an X3 in the video. I think all of their mobile controllers are better than the competition…the G7se is awesome, too. Kinda big fan of GameSir at this point.
Before all this there is ipega too.
Speaking of Gamesir, I was searching the subreddits a while back and read a post on that they may announce a new version of the T4 Kaleid, which I assume would be wireless? Anyone here about this? I haven’t been able to find something about this and looking to purchase a PC game pad relatively soon and would love to see this version. (I’d buy it it immediately)
Yeah is the T4 Cyclone / Pro, and is already out.
@@antoniolandi2674 This was made after that had released. People are clamoring about a revised T4 Kaleid. The cyclone was already known about well before this.
I will stick with my cyclone instead of the serious limitations of that thing.
wasted money.
i'm definately gonna paint the face plates, the grey color is ugly
You do realise this has nothing remotely similar to a backbone to be called a clone, don't you? So many controllers you got there and can't even get that right...
P.S: the port you tried to hook the controller to your PC is a charging port only, next time why dont you try and plug an USB-C extention into that port you plug your phone... that might help.
I hate that the USBc is on the right side. That means it won't work for folding phones. The fold would be down below the controller instead of coming out the top. Its a dumb design decision that alienates over 30 million folding phone users, all of whom have tons of money to drop....
i don't think a foldable phone would be a good experience anyway, since you are getting a weird square 1:1 aspect ratio
