Minimum effort product. I love 8bitdo controllers but this one has no ios compatibility, no switch support, no rumble or gyro, no headphone jack, doesn't work with small tablets like ipad mini (and is super difficult to take apart and has a ribbon cable so it can't be easily modded to accept bigger tablets anyway). I think they also used an inferior d-pad to the one found on their controllers that everybody loves. Reviewers say that it's not a good d-pad for Fighters and diagonals can be tricky.
I guess if you have just an android and don't care about any of those other features, this might be an option. Otherwise, just go with G8/G8+

i dont care about any of those.. so i guess i will buy this over the much more expensive g8

That's a completely different product. This is a controller that connects to your phone and the Go is a fullblown handheld PC.

Anyone have experience with this? I tried the Backbone and it worked really well. Only issue I had was the handles were so short that it became uncomfortable fairly quickly. After about 20 minutes...I was done. And I have really small hands.

Hall effect sticks?

The product page says it has hall effect sticks and triggers.

I'm curious about it, but I've collected quite a few now. the Gamesir g8 and g8+ are my go to. they feel much better than the backbone, more like full controllers. I'm still debating this one, though.

I just got an 8bitdo controller with hall effect sticks and triggers and it has replaced my Microsoft controller. I've tried a lot of cheap controllers as well as custom built ones..these 8bitdo with hall effect sticks are a real bargain.

Read through a few reviews on Amazon and seems like several users are having random crashing, BT connectivity, and/or input lag issues, even on newer Samsung Galaxy devices (S21-23). Think I'll stick with my Razer Kishi v2 until I see a sale on Gamesir G8 or G8+. It's comfortable enough for most shorter mobile gaming sessions but don't think I could marathon without something that comes close to a PS5 or Xbox One controller for size and feel. Would love to get me some Hall Effect sticks & triggers though.

I have a Chinese rebrand of this and I like it quite a bit. The lights are garish but you can disable them with a button combo. No sensitivity adjustment on the joysticks. I have used it a handful of times and haven't had to charge it yet.

Having bought all the top controllers (razor, backbone, and a few others), the gamesir x2 pro is definitely the best by far, imho.

No, shockwav is a known troll/instigator. Just ignore them. Promise you they know exactly what a legion go is and what this is but were just trolling for the lulz.
