The GameSir G8 Plus is a comfortable Bluetooth telescopic controller that shines for mobile gaming, cloud streaming, and emulation across phones, tablets, Switch, Android, iOS, and PC. Its biggest strengths are the ergonomic grip, familiar layout, and wide fit, including phones in rugged cases and tablets up to 8 inches, with some setups even using it vertically. The Bluetooth only design avoids USB C port and case hassles, though it means no wired audio jack or pass through charging. It is a roomy, portable option that feels especially convenient for quick pick up and play sessions.

  • The controller supports multiple platforms including Switch and can be used with an iPad mini and 8-inch tablets.

  • The controller can extend far enough for large tablets like an iPad mini while staying comfortable during long sessions.

  • The controller relies on Bluetooth only, which avoids USB-C port and phone case fit issues during setup.

  • The controller can work wirelessly across Android, iOS, and PC using a key combination.

  • The controller lacks a USB-C port, so audio requires Bluetooth headphones or the phone's speakers.

  • The controller's Bluetooth-only approach can be less convenient when a phone is running low on battery.

  • The controller is larger and may be less convenient to carry than smaller options like the Backbone.

Incredibly comfortable controller. It works with my iPad mini 7th gen perfectly, and you can actually unhinge the back to extend it much further for large tablets. This is a great price for a premium mobile controller. I've never had latency issues like some claim. Use it for remote moonlight all of the time.

I have the Razer Kishi V2, the Backbone One (USB-C), the GameSir X2 Pro Xbox, the 8bitdo Ultimate Mobile, and this GameSir G8+. Out all of them the one I use the most is the GameSir G8+.

It fits my 6in phone without having to take it out of its rugged phone case. I think the convenience of it being Bluetooth, not having to take my phone out of the case, it being comfortable to the hand, with a familiar buttons and thumb sticks layout, decent battery life is what makes it so convenient to use.

I don't only use it with my phone on the go, but the Oled and OG Switch 1 can also be used with this controller and I have used it several time with it.

Totally recommend it. Buying one more as a gift. Thanks.

The backbone usb port will not fit into my phone with case on? You said rugged so I'm guessing this is not the problem?
I hate that with my lighting backbone $25 plus $25 ps plus credit and my usb 3 backbone $50 that I'm almost at a ps portal. But I understand this is more versatile

I've heard people being concerned about rubber touching the joycon connectors on Switch 2. Anyone else had issues here?

The GameSir G8+ doesn't have a USB C or any kind of port. It solely relies on bluetooth.

At least for me the Backbone requires me to take my phone out of the case, with the case it won't fit. Out of all the ones that I have I the Backbone it the one that makes me worry about the USB C port getting damaged from the phone. I still like it, specially since it has the 3.5mm audio jack and also lets me charge the phone while playing. With the Gamesir G8+ you have to rely on either a Bluetooth headphones or the phone's speakers. If your phone is running out of battery, you could still charge it and keep playing "un-docked" which might not be as convenient.

If I had to choose between the Backbone and the Gamesir G8+ now that I have used both, I would go with the Gamesir G8+. It beats it in convenience, the amount of effort to pick it up and start playing is like 5 seconds. With the Backbone there is a whole thought process of, I need to take my case off, make sure the USB C port gets connected without breaking the phone, etc. Also the benefit of the GameSir being able to work with the Switch is also another good plus. Last but not least, while I like the Backbone, for long sessions of gameply the GameSir G8+ feels more comfortable to the hand. The Backbone will get my hand fatigue after an hour or so.

Last point is portability. The GameSir G8+ is way bigger than the Backbone. In my case it hasn't been an issue so far as I just put it in my backpack. But for some other cases where I don't have a backpack or a safe place to keep the controller I tend to go with the Backbone or the Kimshi V2.

They will touch the rubber, it probably wouldn't be an issue, but I 3d printed end covers for the switch 2 that protect the joy con connectors and also has an exterior groove for the g8+ rubber to slot into. It works great, I have a ton of time using the g8+ both with my s25 ultra in its case as well as the switch 2.

It fits 8" Tablets, I'm sure it will fit your phone as well. Rus (RetroGameCorp) has a great video on it. He shows his iPhone in a decent tpu case using it as well.
