This is the lowest price it's ever been.

No, that's really weird. I don't have Walmart+. Never seen a seller fee of any kind.
I have a Razer Kishi and while it's very portable when closed, the controls are subpar and I'm not entirely comfortable with plugging in my phone every time.
The G8 plus looks way more comfortable to use and Russ's review on Retro Game Corps sold me on it.

I can confirm that the $30 shipping charge did not appear at checkout. I took a screenshot of the order confirmation page, in case something happens. But, considering Walmart is managing the transaction, I don't think there's room for any shady business. And unlike Aliexpress which has written policy stating that they can add fees after it ships (tariffs and duties at customs), Walmart doesn't do that.
Side note: The seller appears to be the manufacturer of these - I didn't realize they had a Walmart storefront also... good to know!
A review of this, from a source I trust. Skip past the stuff on the Switch (unless you own one - then you should really watch!), but the other half of the video is a comparison review to other similar controllers for mobile gaming. Seems like great quality at a reasonable price (especially considering the new tariff situation). Never been into mobile gaming b/c I don't like touch controls, figuring/hoping this will open up a few new doors. And, might be the last chance to get one at this price, for a while at least.

Edit: heres the review of the original G8. Very very similar experience, aside from small differences mentioned in the previous link, the most notably is obviosly the USB port. This one is a bit more of a well rounded review, including a comparison to the Backbone and Razer options. Short story: Gamesir wins.

Update: received it a few days ago, it's a legit gamesir controller with all the accessories. Was hoping it would allow for phones with cases but if your phone case adds too much to the overall phone width, it'll have a difficult time fitting/staying in.
Regardless, another reason to take screenshots, making sure that the "G8+" and the image of the controller are visible in order details. And an image of the listing page, showing the typo there, but also listing "bluetooth" in the specs. I'm almost certainly being paranoid, but it's minimal effort and doesn't hurt.

I might pick up another as a spare. These are especially great for those emulator phone enthusiast folks, I find it works very well for the Galaxy Fold series !
