The $35 CoolShark JK02 “Cooling" Telescopic Game Controller for Android, iOS, Switch, and PC

- This is the CoolShark Cooling Telescopic Bluetooth Controller. It’s designed with a cooling element to keep your device cooler and although it seems like a gimmick it does get really cold after a few minutes with the fan turned on. It’s quiet too.
In this video I test the buttons and sticks in Gamepad Tester. The average circularity error for both sticks is around 3%, which is good, and all of the buttons feel good too. The D-pad registers all inputs but had problems with diagonals. It’s really hard to pull off moves in fighting games but it feels fine for most platformers, RPGs, and puzzle games.
I also test the temperatures with an IR sensor before and after using the cooling feature on the controller. I chose to play some OutRun Coast2Coast with PPSSPP and clearly confirmed there’s a significant change in surface temperature. This may not have any real effect on performance. I can’t yet confirm if it’ll actually help a mobile phone from getting too hot but as you can see in the video, with the X18S it was so cold to the touch condensation immediately began to develop.
Thanks for watching!

I know this isn’t a legitimate test, cooling through plastic. This is all I had at the time because my phone was doing the filming.
The fact that this is 2-3x cheaper than the gamesir x3 which is the only other telescopic controller that I know of with the Peltier cooler is amazing
I bought this joypad and it arrived in my hands today, it is well built according to its price, also the sticks have a fairly acceptable dead zone, but what impressed me most was its cooling capacity, my phone got very hot when I executed certain emulators, with the joypad heatsink running, the temperature dropped drastically.
It also has vibration motors, something that is not very common in this type of joypads, I personally recommend it, it is a cheap device, but it has too many features to pass up
That’s great to know that the cooling function makes a significant difference when needed. I was really surprised by how cold it got. I agree, this is a great quality gamepad for the price and the sticks are not bad. It feels pretty solid in the hands too. Thanks for sharing your experience here and letting me know. I appreciate you checking out the video 🙏
@@OGTechNick You're welcome, buddy, I think this joypad is much superior to the ipega PG-9167, it surpasses it in many aspects, especially in the sticks, the ipega ones have a terrible dead zone and also the device is more expensive
idk why this was recommended to me but this video was very high quality. keep up the work mang! subscribed
This comment was high quality. Thank you so much mang! 🙏
I had the controller for a few days, and so far, so good 👍🏾.. The only issue I have is using the NetherSX2 emulator. The D-pad gets a bit wonky, but I think if I keep tweaking the settings, I'll get it fixed. I mostly play that with my phone in DEX mode anyway. When I first got it, I thought it was a bit flimsy, but once I put in my phone, it felt surprisingly sturdy. I did find a workaround for my biggest complaint about the cooler having to be plugged in to work. I purchased a real light weight portable charger on Prime Day that fits easily in my pocket and the total was still only half the price of the X3 ( which also requires the cooler to be plugged in)..😁 I am currently satisfied. Thanks for bringing this product to my attention 👍🏾..
I just bought this controller. I use the asus rog 6. I was really loving the kunai 3 gamepad asus builds specifically for asus devices however my charging port no longer works so i can't use usbc controllers anymore. I count myself lucky for having a phone with an extra charging port on the side of the phone😂😂. The gamesir controllers excluding the x2 pro have a nice key mapping feature to provide you with controller support for games like *codm, pubg, and genshin impact that don't offer controller support. Put the * next to codm cuz it does provide controller support with xbox controllers for any phone. Ios u can basically use any controller on codm with their native controller support. With Android it gets a little complicated. Aside from the xbox controller any other controller will not work, especially the gamepad style ones for your phone, unless u have one of the much newer model Androids like the last couple Samsung high end models that recently released. However I'm glad to have a device that codm can't recognize that i have controller connected cuz once u set up the key mapping it's essentially replicating the touch inputs so amazingly u get touch lobbies in ranked. Anybody who has played codm on controller and has ranked up significantly such as grand master and legendary u know u can no longer que into rank lobbies. Casual gamers find it inconvenient that 90% of Androids don't have access to codm native controller support but i absolutely love it. Controller players also know codm controller sense even maxed out is not nearly enough. If u have one of these controllers that can't be detected, download an app for the key mapping mantis pro is prolly your best bet, like i said it's replicating touch so using touch sense allowing for u to have access to much higher sense than reg controller players. This is somewhat of a loop hole for Android users only and they're starting to fix this loophole in newer models so imma hold on to this phone for awhile so i can exploit this bug. Alas, key mapping is better than the controller support that the game offers cuz codm does not allow u to change your controls. For instance slide and jump is O+X or B+A meaning u have to take your thumb off the analog stick in order to perform movement commands. I put jump and slide on the analog clicks(R3+L3) making sweaty movement much more viable. Slide on R3 is perfect cuz to hit slide cancels u just click the the right analog and turn the right analog. R1 for weapon switch and L1 for prone. In addition to using controller also have gyroscope enabled. If anybody wants to see how good I've become putting my big brained gamer knowledge to use i have videos on my yt channel using everything mentioned in the video. And you can tell codm isn't recognizing me using controller cuz it won't show the controller buttons on my hud. I get this controller in the video tomorrow so I'll do an update to let ya know how I like it
Thanks for the detailed information. I’ll definitely take a look at your channel!
@@OGTechNick ok I got the controller and codm does recognize it as Xbox. However u can still use the key mapping and get the touch lobbies. Just download mantis set up your mapping. Then disconnect your controller, open mantis, launch codm, enter lobby, then turn your controller on. If it prompts you to pick a controller for connection just back out of the message by hitting the x. This way you can actually get touch lobbies and this will actually work for any controller and should work for iOS as well
I am really considering purchasing this controller, but I have 1 question I can't find and answer to. Does the fan has to be plugged in to work?
Yes. The fan only works while the device is plugged in. It uses the same type-c port that you charge the device from. There’s a button to turn it on and off while the device is charging. If it’s not plugged in that button doesn’t do anything.
@OGTechNick Thanks, I will probably still purchase it. The quality and features for the price are a great deal..
Found your vid on aliexpress page, awesome review, thank you!
Haha, I was being sneaky. Woohoo..it worked! Thank you so much!
@@OGTechNicknice which shop?
a.aliexpress.com/_mrNMMEu
My analog stick is inverted, when I use the analog stick the arrows respond on the gamepad tester, is there anything I can do to solve this? Please
Mine was like that too. The instructions inside the box tells you how to change it.
Press L3 + select button to switch it again
@jatiahmad5811 Thanks for the information, man. I had already started the return process, but your tip worked like a charm. I am going check on a few different gamepad testers just to be safe then cancel the return. Again thanks for the tip🫡👍🏾..😊
I just got this stupid controller I got it and try connecting it shows as jk02 ota and I try connecting via the moowii app and it says it is detected in upgrade state and keeps failing how do I fix this?
Just hold A button while upgrading i have successfully upgraded mine
I've been really busy testing other devices and haven't been able to put much time into the jk02 since I made this video. Can you guys tell me what changes were made with the update? I'd appreciate it.
Nothing I fixed mine with a firmware flash by using a USB programmer and dumping the firmware and editing and then write the new edited firmware and boom its better than factory

Saludos desde México! Gracias por hacer este video, gran trabajo
Thanks for checking out the video. Saludos!
I have recently bought the BSP-D8, is this worth having than BSP D8? I was amazed that this one has cooling, I should have searched this earlier. Also does this controller supports X-input mode on Bluetooth? Nice Review.
The cooling is a nice feature and it does have x-input, but honestly, I like the D8 better. That would be my recommendation to you unless your device tends to get really hot.
@@OGTechNick thanks!
@@OGTechNickwhy do you prefer the D8?
Does it use the hall sensor for the joysticks? I'm kinda unsure between D8 & JK02. Thank you
I can't find anytning that says hall sensor for these JK02 is sticks unfortunately. They tested really well in gamepad tester, but how long they last is uncertain. The D8 is a great controller for the price. If you don't mind the Starfield design, I heard they improved the feel of the face buttons on them.
@@OGTechNick I see, then I will go with D8 and I will try to watch your D8 Starfield. Thank you for the awesome video
I wonder if the cooler is removable for maintenance?
Good question.. I don’t think it is something that’s built into the design, although it probably should be. I think it’ll require a bit of disassembly. I’ll check on that soon.
How's the controller been after nearly 2 months? I'm thinking about buying it even though I have a PlayStation Backbone. The cooling and the cheap price got me interested.
I don't use it very often, but it works as good as it did on day one. Taki Udon actually just posted a video using it yesterday.
Yea that's how I found out about it@@OGTechNick
Do these mods work (or are needed) for the X18s Black? The sticks and dpad I mean.
They aren’t really needed for either version but at least the black model implemented L3/R3 into the sticks and changed the face buttons. They didn’t change the dpad but I wouldn’t recommend the mod just for the dpad because it really doesn’t solve the issue. The dpad bottoms out even with the DS Lite dpad but it does make it more comfortable to use. The colored face buttons also bottomed out and I had to add layers of tape underneath them. I’ve thought about going back in to extend the length of the pivot on the dpad but just settled on this instead. If you’re not an annoying dpad snob like I am it probably won’t be too bad. I like my X18S. The only other issue with the black model is that it is a major fingerprint magnet. That might be who they’re selling the white one for more than their updated black one, the X18S Ultra, these days.
Parabéns, eu gostei bastante, comprei o meu hoje, só esperar chegar 😅😅😅
Incrível! Espero que chegue rápido e com segurança. Por favor, deixe-me saber como você se sente depois de testá-lo em alguns jogos. :)
Can you help me? Mine connects thru Bluetooth but the buttons don’t make any action at all and it won’t work on warzone mobile I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max
Hey Man. I have a question. I’m trying to “re-assign” the control buttons and ads for my convenience. Can it be done? I have this actual set up with a iPhone 12-pro max.
I’m trying to get the RT to reassign to the Aim emblem and I want my LT to be my shooting trigger! How can I re-assign the triggers?
Please respond back
Thanks
I'm sorry man. I'm not familiar with re-assigning buttons to touch screen controls, especially on iPhone. If you go to the link for this product in the description of the video, you can send a message to the seller who will give you specific information for assigning buttons for your iPhone. I can see how this controller is appealing for an iPhone user because mine used to get really hot. Has the cooling feature actually made any difference in performance, or does it have any real benefit at all? Just curious.
@@OGTechNick hey man. Guess what? I found it! I found out how to re-assign the buttons. See here’s the deal. You need to know this also!
Ok the main thing you need to know is what to push and when! When you click on the FN BUTTON AFYER THE UNIT IS TURBED ON(by either holding the POWER BUTTON DOWN FOR AT LEAAT 10 seconds or double tap the power button)
When one of the lights appear(it always usually start with blue li go ts, then when you double tap power then the light will change to red , then double tap power again and it change to green!
Anyway. Here’s the deal. Within the IPhone. If you go into the settings and click on GENERAL> then GAME CONTROLLER-theeeeeen you will see what button are defaulted-assigned and so for example- I’m use to my right hand or thumb for the ADS AND MY LEFT INDEX FINGER IS THE TRIGGER FINGER. SO I JAD TO CHANGE THE FAME CONTROLLER GROM WIRHIN THE IPHONE! Basically the iPhone trick the Game controller by manipulating the buttons! But anyway thanks for responding. I’m having great loads of fun in CODM! My name is “INSIDIOUS_NUPE” on CODM L, if you looking for a good team mate to go bust some battle royale arse! 🤣
@roderickthomas3417 hey bro I got this controller too been sitting..haven't figured out how to properly connect and run it smoothly on my s22 plus phone for CODM..please help a fellow codm player out would really appreciate it thanks
How about the battery? How long can be last?
It has a 300mAh battery, so I'm guessing around 3-4 hours, more or less, if you're gaming hard and have rumble going too. If you're using the cooling feature, you'll have to have it plugged in, so there won't be any drain at all in that scenario.
Noce review man. One question. The manual say which the bluetooth version?
Can you charge the cooler battery and run the fan and cooler both from that without it being plugged in? How long does the battery last when running the cooler?
I want to mod one of those coolers into my Gamesir X2 Pro 😅
The cooler doesn't run without being plugged in, unfortunately. That would be a sweet mod if you can make it happen. I love seeing people modify their devices to improve on their personal experience. I get laughed at a lot on Reddit for my Frankensten projects, but I enjoy trying different things out.
Man that would be a killer mod
@@OGTechNickgood on you man. Redit is full of a bunch of negative self hating ignorant fools who spend their life there.
Können Sie mal ein Clip vorstellen wie ich dieses Gamepad mit Android und dem Spiel ,Modern Warship verbinden kann,wril ich dieses Pad nun schon 2 Wochen habe und es nicht schaffe den Kontroller mit dem Spiel zu verbinden.
Wäre ihnen dankbar.
Thanks for the video
I bought it but unfortunately, the steering analog does not work in games except in emulators where it works, however I am looking for a solution to resolve this problem because during the first try it was still working and the next day nothing more
I’m sorry to hear you’re having an issue with the analog stick. I wonder why it stopped working the next day.. Hope you get it working again.
Hi Nick, the R2/L2 Triggers aren’t analog right?
No, they're digital
I just recently bought the BSP-D6, but somehow I stumbled upon this controller while scrolling the internet. The cooling features is so tempting to me, since my phone tends to get hot while gaming. How big it is compared to the BSP-D6 joystick?
It’s very similar in size. If you want to know how wide it stretches I can check and get back to you on it. If your phone gets hot it might be worth trying. I was pretty impressed by how cold it gets.
Sure Nick, really appreciate it!
Looks nice. For fps games, how well does it work?
I’ll test it on my Switch and get back to you on it. The sticks do very well in Gamepad Tester but I’ll play some Doom Eternal or maybe my go-to FPS for fun, BulletStorm: Duke of Switch Edition. I’ll let you know how it goes.
How do you program it to work with an iPhone playing call of duty
Thank you so much for the guide, I thought it was broken lol
You’re welcome. It’s always nice to know when my videos actually help somebody out. Thanks for the comment. Happy gaming 😊
@@OGTechNick dude If I had not watched the video, I would have returned the product lol
These are the kind of comments that inspire me to continue pursuing this RUclips thing. I enjoy gaming and helping out others whenever possible. Thanks again for letting me know. Good vibes 😎
@@OGTechNick now let's marry 😂
@@Asirpa_ 🥰
Well, unfortunately, I have to return the controller. The problem was not with any emulator or game. It has a weird problem. The left stick sends input signals as the d-pad and the d-pad does the same for the stick. I've used a few on-line calibration programs and apps to fix the problem. It actually works until the device is powered off, then it's back to the way it was once I reconnect. I'm just waiting to hear from the seller..
I’m sorry to hear that. Sounds like it’s pretty glitchy. Hope you get your refund.
@OGTechNick Thanks for your concern, but a cool guy in the comments had a tip that so far seems to have fixed the problem 😀. I have run it thru a few testers, and so far, it appears to be fine. The only problem I have now is that a purple light comes after I connect as an Xbox controller.. It's always something, hahaha 😆 😂..
So I got this controller to use with my galaxy z fold 5, but I am having a super difficult time connecting it. When I connect it, it connects as a keyboard and not a controller? And it seems I can only use the controller with button mapping software? Is there not a way to just use this as a normal bluetooth controller?
I tried a test with cod mobile (gonna use for emulation, this is just a test) and it would not register the joystick movements properly, and other buttons only worked when mapped to screen buttons (does not work when I try to connect as a bluetooth controller in cod settings either)
Nvm... 7:05
I’ve never used it for COD or any of the others but I think they need that V3 app to map the buttons within mobile games that aren’t compatible with controllers. Unfortunately, I don’t think this one has that feature. The BSP-D8 might be a good choice. I could be wrong because I’m new to this but I’ll look into the manual when I get back home and see what I can find.
@OGTechNick did you find anything
Hi, how are the buttons and the joysticks commpared to bsp D8 ??
The buttons are slightly smaller in diameter but have slightly more travel and more punchy, tactile feedback on the JK02. Both brands use the silicone membrane design. The sticks are also great but the D8 sticks scored just slightly better when testing circularity error in Gamepad Tester. Both of them have much more accurate sticks than many 1st party controllers.
@@OGTechNick i ordered a D8 5 days ago, and then i noticed this video about jk02... but think d8 is still better because i can use with a tablet, wish othe brands would make these controlers extend more... ty for the reviews and reply
Do you know how to disable the turbo/burst mode from a button?
Pretty sure you press the turbo and the button you want to implement turbo on for standard turbo. Do the same thing again for auto turbo. Do it a third time to turn it off.
@@OGTechNick this controller don't have a turbo button. According to the manual, to enable a turbo, you must press and hold that button, after that, press the power button. The button will become turbo. If you repeat the process, nothing changes. To increase the speed of the turbo, you must hold power button and press dpad up, to decrease turbo speed, hold power and press dpad down. The only way to remove turbo is to reset the controller, to do this hold.power button for 10 seconds. Everything that I say is write in the manual. If you find another way to disable turbo, please write here because the details that you share didn't work for me
How to recharge that controller? I dont see any port for charging the controller
It’s been so long since I’ve used it but from what I remember it’s the same port to power the fan. There is a button you press to activate the fan when it’s plugged in, so I’m pretty sure while the fan is on it’s also charging the controller.
hi dude the controller does the fan work when you take the cable out?????
It needs extra power for the fan
@@darioelefante9463 right on it came yestorday, gonna have yo see if thr postal office will be open today.
@@darioelefante9463 ya ty already got like 7days ago its .... cool.... hehehe
Look at it this way yuzu wont fry my phone as fast :)
Hello, I liked your video, excellent work, I was looking for a review of this gamepad, I have a question in games like Call of Duty Mobile, would the option be placed in Xbox or direct mode, correct? But in games like Pubg Mobile, can the application map the game? does it have that function?
Hello. Thank you! I will look into the Pubg feature this evening. I am also going to ask the seller directly and see if they can provide any info to me. I’ll let you know as soon as I can.
Perfect, thank you very much, I await your response.
Hello, I await the response, have you been able to try what I mentioned, thank you!! I wait your answer.
@ernestoalfonsopenaparra3126 I haven't had a chance to test Pubg games but I am worried it may not be compatible like some of the controllers that use the v3 app. I'm inexperienced in this regard, but I am still going to try to find a definitive answer. Sorry for the delay
@@OGTechNick Excuse me, does it mean that this gamepad does not use the v3 shotting plus app, but does it come with an app that works with the gamepad? Do you have to map the games?
Does it have a type c version?
Unfortunately not. Is it the cooling element that intrigues you or the form factor? I have a few other type c telescopic grips to cover still but nothing like this one.
@@OGTechNick i want a gamepad with a cooler have've pondering on getting this one but i'd like a type c one since i don't want any delay :/
Ok cool. I understand what you mean. I’ll keep my eyes out for one.
@@GeorgeLuiz94that's my feeling as well. I was playing the Hollow Knight 3rd party android port with an Xbox controller via Bluetooth to my S21U SD888 and the delay was very noticeable compared to when I would plug it in. I want this cooler and grip style but with pass-through charging and the controller battery should run the cooler without being plugged in.
I'm using the GameSir X2 Pro and like it except for cooling and general ergonomics.
@@sevbait X2 pro is top notch! I would get It If not for the lack of cooler... The G8 seems incredible too! And It has triggers.
Does it work with a power bank connected?, I don't want to be restricted by the cable and charger
You mean like attached to the controller? No. You have to provide external power for the fan to work. I’m using a powerbank in the video.
Is it chargeable controller or the cooling fan?
The controller is chargeable. The cooling fan only works while plugged into a power source.
@@OGTechNick can we play it through wired connection like usb cable otg?
@@OGTechNick how will long last the battery to use and it charge?
Good question. I’ll have to look into that
how to make it work on pc?
Does it with with the ipad pro?
Is it possible to connect to a PlayStation?
Does it have axis deadzone?
No major deadzone. No cardinal direction locking at all. The sticks are impressive.
Exelente hoy compre el mío el envio tardara en llegar bro podrias mostrar como conectarlo a un teléfono Android
Nice video 😮😮🎉
