Just buy it, it's awesome. Bluetooth sync is fast and seamless on my iPhone - just expand the dock and slide in the phone - it automatically turns on and pairs by the time my phone is set in the dock. Controls feel really nice. Great battery life. I hear its amazing with a Switch, if you got lucky enough to score one from Costco. I don't know how/why people pay $150 for these things from other companies. Gamesir killed it.
I use mine for Steam Link when I want to game on the couch. I have a pretty robust home network, so even platforming games don't suffer from latency.

I loved my original G8 so much, I bought a second one, just in case.
Insane price, I've tried basically all the controllers for my spare phone and the G8 is by far the best and does not feel like a toy. Great grips, great d-pad, great buttons. Highly recommend! Bought a second one as well. I also have a g cloud for steam link but I am reluctant to use it since the G8 feels so much better.

Idk if anyone cares but I posted a deal for the Abxylute S9 after I was researching it and saw it was on sale too. Of course it got downvoted immediately 😭 but hey if someone wants a type c alternative, give it a look.

Have this. Pretty awesome. Does exactly as intended with no discomfort. Only thing is it's Bluetooth, so delay will be present in most games you play. If you're sensitive to that, get the non plus version that hooks into otg.

Between this and kishi v2, I prefer this, but it does add bulk and I would say it's much less travel friendly. Buying the x5 lite later so I can use it more on the go.

Darn. I think the one downvote might have killed it then q.q it should come up just searching Mobile Controller. But yeah the S9 is on a "lightning sale" with Amazon for $62.90 with prime shipping https://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/t/18350848

I have the Abxylute S9 for my Legion Y700 and it's pretty awesome to use. Very ergonomic and the 8.8" screen is easy on my aging eyes. Having USB-C means no fuss connection and pass-through charging (Y700 even has a power from cable mode while gaming to avoid stressing the battery).

The only problem is I like to switch between gaming and tablet mode frequently.

The Y700 is right on the edge of what the S9 will take so taking it in and out can feel a little risky with so much leverage on the USB-C port, juggling compression, etc. For smaller devices, it's a non-issue but I mainly got it to use with the Y700.

I didn't want to have to deal with bluetooth and a separate controller battery... but for the Y700 specifically, GameSir G8+ may be the better choice (pop it in and out without aligning or stressing the port). Meanwhile for all the decommissioned smartphones I have (awaiting the next trade-in deal), the Abxylute S9 is still great since it's plug-and-play without messing with pairing and pass-through helps since a lot of the older phones have dying batteries.

I wonder if it's possible to mod it to reduce the tension on the pull or something 🤔 but that's good to know. I was thinking about picking up a used y700 in a couple months and just having the S9 permanently attached essentially. That tablet comes up all the time. People really seem to love it

newbie question: does this work with any game? e.g. mobile league bang bang on iPhone?

I think you can map the controls to simulate touch and place the virtual buttons wherever, but I also just read that the functionality was removed from iOS (not Gamesir's fault) as of a few months ago. So if you're on android and there are touch controls on-screen, you should be able to map virtual touch controls to them that correspond to the gamepad. If the game has native gamepad support then you're golden anyways.

The only reason I have other controllers (like the S9) instead of this is x-input mode. Last time I checked, this doesn't have x-input. This really wont matter on probably a majority of games, but on quite a few, being recognized as a Wireless Xbox controller makes life so much easier. I like the feel of the Gamesir sticks perhaps slightly more than the S9, they are stiffer and it feels like I have a little more control, but for emulators and a few very specific android games, not having X-input is a headache. I'm in no way negative on the G8+, its awesome. If it had X-input, it would be perfect (for me). It's a great value at this price point regardless.

So without xinput, is this thing going to be a pain for Xbox cloud gaming on an iPhone?
