      @@nonnygb There's always going to be a bit more latency when using bluetooth compared to using a usb connection, but I can never tell since I always use bluetooth controllers and play retro games.

    Razer Kishi's advantage is the analog triggers.
    The Gamesir's advantage is the overall better, more straightforward design when trying to place a phone in the holder, along with the bigger shoulder buttons.
    That third USB-C controller with the pastel buttons has a built in headphone jack.
    Can't somebody just make a controller that combines the best qualities of all 3?

    The USB-C connector should be on the right half. This would allow the power button and the volume rocker of the phone to be on the upper edge. Edited: This was what I thought. Having bought one and tried out I realized the volume rocker and the power button are to be controlled with your right thumb and this is indeed better.

    I own this controller and I have for 2 months now. Things I have to say is after a while this controller can be uncomfortable especially on the right hand side. I think if they added some controller bulge to hold more in the palm like the bottom sections of controllers that stick out. I've had great luck with emulation on my phone and I really like the clicky-ness of the buttons except the sound for night time use but its not a real issue unless you are trying to hide that you are playing. I don't play fighting games so I do not get the issue people have the d button layout but I would have no issue if i had gotten that one instead. I have a note 9 and a spigen case and I have no issue keeping the case on while playing. I think the issue only comes with thick cases or for phones that are super big like the s21.

    I've had this for the past three months. Hate the placement of the screenshot button. Lots of accidental presses of it. Also needs foregrips for your palms for better comfort. Other than that, emulations have worked quite well. Way better than touchscreen alone.

      It definitely took some time for me to adjust to holding it in a way that didn't become uncomfortable after 5 minutes. It still become uncomfortable after 20-30 minutes for me. I bought it because it was sleek, but definitely compromised comfort in the process. I have the same gripes with the Switch when it's not docked.

    There's also the fact that the Bluetooth version uses the traditional Xbox button layout while the updated version here still annoyingly uses the Nintendo button layout.
    Edit: Apparently, you can update the firmware of the updated version so that it uses the Xbox layout though I'm not sure of this.

    In regards to it not plugging in with a case on your phone. If you always use a case on your phone just take a box cutter to the rubber right beside the USB C port on the controller. After doing that my S21 fit with a fairly large case. I wouldn't expect a phone in a larger otterbox to fit but a phone in any silicon case won't have an issue.

    It's worth mentioning that the button layout is the same as Nintendo controllers, which are inverse to the Xbox layout. While a lot of games have options to remap button, a lot don't. In most emulators you'll have to remap the keys for sure.

    Couple of suggestions:
    1. Recessed analog sticks
    2. A variety of sizes to match better with smaller phones (specifically used for retro gaming)
    3. A couple of retro designs to choose from (NES, SNES,PSX style, etc)

    • @FurbyTime
      @FurbyTime 3 года назад

      So, Actually, for smaller phones, this thing is way better than something like the Razer Kishi. Using my Pixel 4a on the two of them, the Kishi isn't stable at all, while the GameSir X2 basically feels exactly the same as it does with bigger phones, but lighter due to the difference in phone weight.
      I don't agree with the recessed sticks (Would be more portable, sure, but those just aren't as good to use), but I do agree with the additional designs. Pure white isn't my favorite color in the world, and while I don't know if I would care about retro designs, I would like black or something.

    What about playing MAME emulation in portrait mode for old-school games (DKong, Pac Man, Frogger, etc.) that had portrait-style screens? On my RG351P I can play those horizontally adjusting the right-side controllers to behave as a left-controlled joystick and the buttons on the right. But in this the USB-C connection is on the left, so it doesn't seem like that can be done as most phones won't rotate the screen upside down in portrait mode. Could use the left-side controllers but a D-Pad would make for awkward buttons, esp. if multiple buttons have to be pressed together in some games.

      I haven't watched the video yet, so he may have said this already, but the type C plug on this does swivel up and down. With that said, if your phone is too thick it's just not going to work. My daughters Pixel 4A phone with case and popsocket won't fit even with the popsocket removed (but the connector for it still on). I would still be careful plugging and unplugging the phone from it though. I use it with my Galaxy S9 and it seems to fit fine, but that's a decently thin phone.
