Does this fit well on foldable devices?

No, it does not, at least not for the Galaxy Z Fold 8. I've tested it with this controller and the orientation forces a vertical format 3:4 based on where the USB-C port is, which isn't great. I ended up ordering the G8+, which is just a bluetooth version of this controller, and that works perfectly.

I have the Fold 8 too. That answers my question to the tee. Thanks, stranger!

This goes by the height of the phone. Depending on the location of the usb port the second screen may stick up or stick down

yeah they need to release a left side usb-c version which would be perfect for foldables

Still a pretty high price, and that ugly color. No black.

I have both bluetooth and this version. Bluetooth is worth the extra $10. If you are ONLY using it on your USB-C I guess this will work, but defintley puts extra wear on the port.

SUCKS for using it with a large tablet, and obv you cant use it as bluetooth controller for PC or whatever.

3:4 is close enough to 4:3 to make me happy. Also why would you want laggy Bluetooth if you're going to wrap it around your device anyway? Might as well put your device on a stand, and use any ole Bluetooth controller. I have the one plus 15, and the G8 works great with it.

Raptor 8 from GameStop is cheaper and uses buttons for both Xbox and PlayStation

One of the reviews on there say:
"The controller itself is a good (if you don't know it's a Chinese knock off of the gamersir G8) But it lacks technical support and consistent updates. The new current issue we are having is when you even slightly touch the trigger or press the bumper button it acts like it's being fully pressed along with spamming/jittering. No one has a solution and gamestop has been sleeping on customer support."

A little funny since Gamesir is a Chinese company too.

tbh, I think this controller was made by the same manufacture by whoever does Gamesirs lol, same design too and specs. But Gamesir has better software so that helps
