I’ve been using this controller to play call of duty mobile. It works really well! Connection to my iPhone 15 was quick. Only snag I had was that it connects via Bluetooth to 2 different names. You can’t just connect to one or the other. It has to be both. Once I got past that it was a breeze. I’m excited to connect it to the switch and try Fortnite with this controller. If your used to Xbox controllers you won’t have any issues using this.

I use the control for my Nintendo switch. The controller fits perfectly in my hands, very comfortable to maneuver. It was also very easy to connect via bluetooth and good battery life. Overall a good buy, I would recommend it.

Awesome way to play mobile. If you’ve tried playing games on your phone you know that it can be clunky. These add on controls are awesome. I will never go back!

It does work great on a ipad mini and a nintendo switch. Its a little glitchy on the Nintendo with some games but overall works like the controllers the switch comes with. For the money this is a good extra buy and feels more comfortable for people who have bigger hands.

Great with one flaw

I purchased this controller as it was the most recommended I could gather from various social media reviews. I've only had it for a couple of days, but so far so good. The build quality is excellent. It has a nice textured grip, and all of the button presses resemble your standard Xbox/PS5 feel. It holds my S24+ in place well, though it can not expand to the landscape length of an 11-inch tablet. I love the feature that turns off the device when collapsed, and turns it on when expanded. I haven't downloaded the app, as I've heard some complaints of it disabling the controller. MY one complaint is that the right stick is too low (in my photo, I'm pointing to where the stick would ideally be located), which results in my thumb having to travel a greater distance from the face buttons, and could lead to fatigue after lengthy use. If I can't get used to it, I'll likely look for another product that more-closely resembles the layout of the Dual Sense; tho I hear the quality of that particular unit is subpar. Overall, would recommend.

Got this to use with my Nintendo Switch and couldn’t be happier. This thing is incredible. Easy to customize the sticks and the button layout. Easy to program the back buttons on the fly. No input lag that I can notice in my games. Highly recommend!

I’ve been using the GameSir G8+ controller for a while now, and it’s a slick, versatile gamepad that works great with my Switch, iPhone, and Android tablet. It’s got a premium vibe and handles most games like a champ, though it’s got a couple quirks that keep it from being perfect.
Pros:
Wide Compatibility: Syncs effortlessly with multiple platforms like Switch, iOS, and Android, making it a go-to for all my devices.
Hall Effect Joysticks: These sticks are smooth, responsive, and built to last without drift, which is awesome for long-term gaming.
Comfortable Design: Feels like an Xbox controller in my hands—sturdy and perfect for longer sessions without cramping up.
Bluetooth Convenience: Pairing’s a breeze, and it doesn’t suck my phone’s battery dry; I can even charge while playing.
Customizable Features: Swappable sticks and programmable rear buttons let me tweak it to fit how I play.
Cons:
Occasional Latency: I’ve noticed a tiny bit of input lag in fast games—nothing major, but it’s there.
Loose USB-C Jack: My USB-C port wiggles a bit; it hasn’t disconnected yet, but it makes me nervous.
Accidental Button Presses: The menu button’s so close to the X button that I’ve hit it by mistake more than once.
The price feels fair for what you get—great for casual stuff like Minecraft or Genshin Impact, and Switch owners will love it too. The rumble and extra sticks are cool perks. I’d grab a case if you travel with it, though.

Good accessory to have for playing mobile games. My only complaint is having wrist pain from twisting my wrists towards my body to be able to see the screen.

These work great and make playing games, especially more complex/involved ones, a much more enjoyable experience and a way to take full advantage of the extra screen space of my Pixel Fold.
