I ordered this a week ago so I am still waiting for it to come in. I didn't order the iPega controller because I wanted something more travel friendly/compact. Update: I have had mine for about two weeks and so far I am loving it. I would recommend it if you are looking for a better gaming experience on your phone.
I'm trying to make a choice between the Wee and Ipega. Why did you prefer the Wee to the Ipega. Also I see that the ipega has an app that can remap the buttons for games which don't support bluetooth controllers while i hear you'll have to root your phone if you wish to do same with the Wee... Please help advise...
I received this controller a little over a week ago and I LOVE IT! If you're looking for a PS Vita/Nintendo Switch look for Android, THIS is the best option. OR There is actually another Chinese controller very similar to this called Handjoy nPro (not to be confused with the American controller the PhoneJoy) which is more like Xbox in appearance and also has L3 and R3...Be warned though it looks a bit obnoxious with a phone in landscape lol Anyways. The Flydigi Wee. It feels great in hand, the buttons are super responsive, and I have no input delay whatsoever. As said in some reviews, this controller is GREAT for DS games. Really just a great controller all around....But I do have 2 small gripes with it. The "triggers" could be less clicky. They feel like mouse clicks rather than triggers. And the telescoping mechanism is a bit flimsy but as said here, it works well enough. Definitely use the silicone pads as he uses them here if you have a thinner phone. For me, I have the ZTE MAX XL and it fits PERFECTLY without the pads and with the controller stretched out to the max. The phone's slight beefiness keeps the controller from flexing inward.
hey man, what about the battery life of the ipega ,how much does it last? i dont know wich one shold i pick , the wee have the 75 hours batery and acording duo to reviews the ipega have only 7.
got this controller last week and im so happy with it. Prob the best on the go android controller to have right now, kinda feels like im using a nintendo switch with this controller lol. Your review was very thorough and well said, I can really envision this channel taking off in the future. Keep it up!
Can you help please i cant use the dongle because i cant download the app, it keeps saying not installed, i want to remap my controller, if you can help please
1K likes. You're welcome :) Great review, very well put. In regards to the gamepad, the lack of L3/R3 make it a no-buy for those interest in PlayStation emulation.
Wow this video taught me a lot!! I currently have a LG K20+ with a phone case and I hope it will fit in and if it does...Nightmare Creatures here I come!!!
Gambo here, thanks for this review, it's the best review of this controller. Could you make a video demonstrating it in portrait mode with DS games? I'd love to play classics like Mario Kart DS and Metroid Prime Hunters. Thanks for your time
Gambo's Tech Reviews I'm currently working on my next video, but I think I can definitely try to help you out. I've been wanting to make a video about some of Androids best emulators, and things to watch out for.
Controllers like these already existed since 2012 actually... The Switch got inspiration from controllers like these.. Specially the one from Razer. But the Switch also innovated further by adding an infrared camera to the right joycon and not to mention both joycons have their own sets of gyroscope, accelerometer and taptic rumble engines... When it comes to sensors and stuff the Switch is a very high-end hardware, the controllers are very densely packed with features.
MJforever I don't know for sure but maybe it's to avoid copyright from Nintendo and Sony? Without the paw print the controllers make phones look like a Switch or a PS Vita.
I just bought it about 5 days ago...... I just got it...... I have an lg fortune ........ The dongle takes you to the app needed for remapper..... And it works this thing is worth it if ......and if you have an lg fortune good because it wroks fine ....... This is worth evry penny
I was wanting to wait out the gamevice version for the galaxy s8 but this looks like a viable solution that doesn't need modding to the dpad to be usable. Plus I like how it folds in to itself. How's the dead zone on the analog stick? That's my usual biggest problem with Bluetooth android controllers.
Great review XTC Tech! I know others asked about the headphone jack, but would a right angle headphone adapter fit to snake the cable up? Alternately, can bluetooth headphones work in conjunction with it? Thanks!
+Gatto116 Bluetooth headphones might work if you have a phone like the S8/+/note 8 that can pair 2 devices at once. Otherwise, a right angle adapter *might* work depending on the adapter.
Great review, thinking about picking one of these up. My only hesitation is that my phone is ~9.5mm at its thickest (camera bump) and that number goes up to around 11-12mm with a case. I'm guessing this won't properly fit, right?
I'm having connection issues with my ZTE MAX XL. It will connect but after constantly trying to connect it. It pairs with my other phones no problem but my ZTE MAX XL is my gaming phone.
Excuse me! You did mentioned putting it back to bluetooth mode is hard. I am struggling to connect the controller to my phone since I have just reset my phone setting. Would you mind telling how to put the controller back to bluetoothe mode?
The touch mapping is working fine on my non-rooted phone. There are a few tricks to it but I got it to work my first try. Also it works for virtually any Android game not just certain Chinese games.
Mike S ahh. That's good to hear! Although, I only meant that it was designed for Chinese games. I never tested whether it would work for any other games. There were never any games that I played where the controls weren't already mapped. Aside from emulators
I tried this controller on a ZTE Blade V8 (android 6.0.1), and it pairs with a solid blue light but I don't get any input. I tried it in several games and emulators, and nothing recognizes it as an input. It works on my S7 Edge.
How about input lag? For super mario you need a very precise controller, will this cover it almos like the original feel? Ive seen that a lot of bluetooth controllers have this lag issue
Input lag is difficult to predict and to diagnose. With an S8 it was fine. But with a Z2 Force it was terrible. Lag depends on the device just as much as the controller
I know this is a year old but do you know if you can get this to pair on a Kindle fire HD 6? I'm thinking about getting a 4th Gen and emulating with it. and using this as a controller for it. wish it expanded more so you could use larger tab.... I know the emulation will work, can this controller work on Amazon Fire os?
J.Klaus Vale the direction pad isn't that great. And the analog stick doesn't register fireball movements that smoothly in Mame. Maybe it's just me. Was playing KOF thou.
Could you help me? I tried the mapping of this divise and first it funktioned but now everytime I try to set a button it disapears =( Pleas If your figured out how to use the mapping right make a video about it. I can´t find a english tutorial :(
I'm sorry but you misunderstood how to use that tiny dongle. It's a device to run the touch mapping program on your phone with a higher privillage than average app so that it does not require you to root you phone. And if you use its companion app, you can map the screen control layout of any game to controller buttons.
I ordered this a week ago so I am still waiting for it to come in. I didn't order the iPega controller because I wanted something more travel friendly/compact.
Update: I have had mine for about two weeks and so far I am loving it. I would recommend it if you are looking for a better gaming experience on your phone.
foulbred Mines should be coming in this week. I think I made a great choice getting this controller!
foulbred phone your using it for
Did it work in 6 inch phone?
So how is it now update plz

Do you still have the Handjoy Npro? How is it? I'm considering buying it
Looks like a ps vita
+CRW VLOG'Z it really does. And it has the same cramped but useable feel, the Vita provides.
tytds dolphin
Ikr
CRW VLOG'Z don’t you mean the Nintendo switch
CRW VLOG'Z I was thinking the same thing
Just get the ipega red knight its basically the same thing and you can also map controls on games like pubg its cheaper and has l3/r3
hey man, what about the battery life of the ipega ,how much does it last? i dont know wich one shold i pick , the wee have the 75 hours batery and acording duo to reviews the ipega have only 7.
I think if you have the money get a wee gamepad but if you dont get the ipega red knight.
The no L3/R3 kills this for me. Thanks for the info
The ipega analogs SUCKS plus it uses octopus
........ And everybody know that if you wanna get banned... Octopus is the way to go
ipega red knight max size is 6.2, this one here is max 6.3 so yeah
I would've gone for it, but now that I know it doesn't have L3 and R3, I'll just wait and see if they make an improved V2.
It have

+TamakunX wow, I really appreciate this comment! Thank you!
Can you help please i cant use the dongle because i cant download the app, it keeps saying not installed, i want to remap my controller, if you can help please
Tamabum boi you havent seen Ipega red spider yet..
Tamabum That's why I want it. Love to play some retro games on the Switch, but this lets me seem like I am. Awesome!
Can u play any game on the app store with this controller? Or is it certain games only
1K likes. You're welcome :)
Great review, very well put.
In regards to the gamepad, the lack of L3/R3 make it a no-buy for those interest in PlayStation emulation.
Me: Dad can I play with my wee wee
Dad: OK but don't overheat it
Its worth adding that they now offer the wee controller without the paw prints and in different colors.
Wow this video taught me a lot!! I currently have a LG K20+ with a phone case and I hope it will fit in and if it does...Nightmare Creatures here I come!!!
And the latency? Any input lag? Please include this when reviewing gamepads as its a huge factor in considering buying bluetooth controllers.
I just get this controller about a week ago
Fit perfectly for my nokia 8, really love it :)
Well this control hold a Samsung Galaxy S10 plus?

Gambo's Tech Reviews how is it on portrait mode for drastic emulator? Thanks bro!
Gambo's tech reviews want's to be xtc. Can't has it bro
Hey what are the names of the emulators you used on this video? They look nice
Looks like the Switch.
No it's a WEE
AMAZING WORLD ....
Wee or wii

looks more like a vita to me
It looks great but why are there dog paws on the analog sticks?
MJforever I don't know for sure but maybe it's to avoid copyright from Nintendo and Sony? Without the paw print the controllers make phones look like a Switch or a PS Vita.
why not?
Why not imprints of human hands?
its from japan what did you expect
Because it’s cute
is there any way to do a tutorial on how to get the thing to run? Like setting up the controller (key mapping)?
I just bought it about 5 days ago...... I just got it...... I have an lg fortune ........ The dongle takes you to the app needed for remapper..... And it works this thing is worth it if ......and if you have an lg fortune good because it wroks fine ....... This is worth evry penny

+Ben Macphail I use it with my note8. The case makes it not fit in the grooves...but it still fits.
XTC Tech Good to know. Thanks for the reply!
"Is the cost too high or too LOW?" Are you smoking crack? Like i'm going to be like hmm i will pay a 100 because gee i think it's too low.. lmfao 🤣
Which gamecube emulator you use.... I tried dolphin ... No luck with a LGV20
Would recommend this for the new Razer Phone?
Darius Benning to bulky
I'm having connection issues with my ZTE MAX XL. It will connect but after constantly trying to connect it. It pairs with my other phones no problem but my ZTE MAX XL is my gaming phone.
How is the deadzone on the sticks? The other cheap bluetooth controllers on amazon have some really large deadzones. And how do you get sound?
Stanley Chen ever find one with decent deadzones? I have an Ipega 9023 and it SUCKS!!!!
Do any ps1 games use L3 and R3? I'd like to know before I'm certain to buy this
And can you connect wired headphones with the controller on?
Excuse me!
You did mentioned putting it back to bluetooth mode is hard. I am struggling to connect the controller to my phone since I have just reset my phone setting. Would you mind telling how to put the controller back to bluetoothe mode?

imgur.com/a/kYAH2 simple but fun game called Looper. Does not support controller use.
Mike S ahh. Well then there you have it. I appreciate that. I wish I could test EVERY game out there. I could make a more complete review for sure!
Mike S Would you please share your wisdom. I am delving into this but the language barrier is proving to be a challenge.
+Brian Kelly what wisdom are you talking about??
Whats the FPS game you were playing???
On the iPhone, how does this compare to something like the Gamvice?
I tried this controller on a ZTE Blade V8 (android 6.0.1), and it pairs with a solid blue light but I don't get any input. I tried it in several games and emulators, and nothing recognizes it as an input. It works on my S7 Edge.
Hey..I'm very much interest to buy what's the cost.??I have been looking for this
And what emuator you using i look for zelda game without luck please share the list of these games to download
I have an iPhone 5 and am having trouble playing my games. I got it to pair but my games won't work with it?
Looks like the slim ps vita.
is this controller design based on the ps vita ?
Hi, is there any version of this gamepad where the left-sided analog stick is below the D-pad? You know, like a PSP?
Which Emulator do you use? Can you give us a link?
Thx for the review
I'm wondering would a note 8 fit if it had a sprigen tough armor case on within the brackets, Horizontally, because that's the deal breaker lol
How about input lag? For super mario you need a very precise controller, will this cover it almos like the original feel? Ive seen that a lot of bluetooth controllers have this lag issue
Input lag is difficult to predict and to diagnose. With an S8 it was fine. But with a Z2 Force it was terrible. Lag depends on the device just as much as the controller
How are you supposed to use the silicone pads?
Wish I knew what emulator you are using for Zelda or Mario
I know this is a year old but do you know if you can get this to pair on a Kindle fire HD 6?
I'm thinking about getting a 4th Gen and emulating with it. and using this as a controller for it. wish it expanded more so you could use larger tab....
I know the emulation will work, can this controller work on Amazon Fire os?
Does it support IOS and games like ROS & ML? Thanks!
Can I connect a headphone? Maybe with some adapter?
Where did you download super mario world? Link please!!😭
Do your hands cramp up after a couple minutes of playing?
To make sure it fits perfectly is u have a ZTE blade z max
Hello I just one question for you ,so the question I have is that does the controller come with a battary for it already in the box.
omar guerrero it comes with a charging cable
If i hook this up via bluetooth, there's no way I can use my bluetooth headphones right?
Im using s8+ with spigen case, which add another around 0,5 cm to bottom and top.. will it fit?
And yeah how about s8 speaker on bottom?.
Its fit all the size from 4 to 8
And there is a charge and headphone jack down the controller in the right side
just want to hear if you have reviews if it works on IOS 11 apps games
What if i want to charge my phone while playing then?
Can this be in rules of survival.?.need answer ASAP. Thank you
What game do you play on video have great graphic thanks for the vid
what about the speaker? are the controller blocks the cp speaker?
Can you config the button layout for different games
I got my 3 years.already & still working like new😎
How does feel d-pad? Isnt it stiff?
How about room for headphone jack and charging cable while using it? PS! Thanks for the review
+chemic sorry, there really isn't room. For charging and headphones.
Does it work for a Samsung Galaxy J3?
nice, i like this. the dpad in figthing games on emulador, work´s is good ?
J.Klaus Vale the direction pad isn't that great. And the analog stick doesn't register fireball movements that smoothly in Mame. Maybe it's just me. Was playing KOF thou.
Any personal recommendations for controllers with good dpad for kof?
+Chen Leikehmacher what's kof??
King of Fighters. A good Dpad for Street Fighter would also be good for KoF as well.
+Chen Leikehmacher well, let me start putting together a video for fighter games for these controllers. No guarantees on an eta though
can u still plug your earphones?
how about the 3.5 mm headphone jack
Sony could bring something like this and sell games for Android/IOS
How do you get it to work though? that's been my biggest issue.
plz review the wee 2 model..hope s8 plus might fit in
Looks awsome might purchase one
what about the headphone jack ? are the controller block the hole ?
erik walker
the game vice is pretty good, it has a headphone Jack and a USB c port but its 80 bucks, good investment though
How do you play Zelda on an Android phone?
When you say rooted do you mean unlocked or custom rom?
How are you playing Windwaker on your phone?
How about that game cube emulator though! How do I set that up?
What about plugging in headphones... I gues your stuck with bluetooth headphones
I love it but I have a xiaomi mi max 2 and I am not sure if it will fit mine is too big ;) will it fit my xaiomi mi max 2
I got this gamepad from your link I need help .. all the instructions are in Chinese I dont know how to set it up
What was the first game in the vid? Thank you!
This one or the ipega 9055 red spider?
Could you help me?
I tried the mapping of this divise and first it funktioned but now everytime I try to set a button it disapears =(
Pleas If your figured out how to use the mapping right make a video about it. I can´t find a english tutorial :(
Does the earphone jack get blocked?
How do you set it up with note 9????
I'm sorry but you misunderstood how to use that tiny dongle. It's a device to run the touch mapping program on your phone with a higher privillage than average app so that it does not require you to root you phone. And if you use its companion app, you can map the screen control layout of any game to controller buttons.
Carl Lee that’s why there should be some English instructions on the dongle
Thank you for the review.
How about trying the Ipega red knight
What game are you playing in the first seconds of your review?
+Simon Gabriel your talking about Zelda wind waker
XTC Tech whats The emulator used to run Wind Waker on Android? I need this!!!
+Klaus Von Burgo dolphin emulator. You need to Google it and download it from their website. You won't find it on playsgore
Does it fit the nvidia shield tablet?
How much wider can it be stretched? I might get the note 8, which is a little bigger than the s8+.
+Sean Brigade I am confident it could fit the note 8.
How about Mi Max 2 ? 6.44 inch
so it works for iphone
Will this fit with the tech21 case for the note 9?
WAIT HOW ABOUT THE AUDIO OUTPUT .....
You can use bluetooth earphones
Kino Cartoon oh sheet you smart you smart
didnt noticed that lmao
which emulator he is using for the GC ?
Yooooo. Can you please link me the starfox game?? That was my shit back in the Nintendo64 days. It was up there with Mario kart 64 and 007
Hi is this compatible with a 7.3mm thk Xiaomi mi a1 phone?
What emulator did you use in the video?
...but does it pass the sho-ryu-ken, and yoga-flame test? If it does, then I officially want one.
how about earphones?
Can ulefone armor 3 fit inside it?
I wish the headphone jack was accessible then I would definitely purchase it
What kind of game is that? Psp?
