MCON Controller is Complete Garbage

That's hilarious. The G8 Galileo feels like a proper console controller. It's even more ergonomic than any dedicated Android handheld I've ever owned. The marketing around this controller is so ridiculous.

Can anyone recommend me a robust good build quality version of this, so many cheap nasty crap on the market that wouldn’t survive travelling

I went with the GameSir G8 Galileo to have a controller that does not need recharging. Feels great in hand, works perfectly on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. You can even set the menu button to open Moonlight.

A boomer requires backbone advice ...

I have a pixel 9pro xl and play fortnite on it all the time, works great! I wouldn't recommend getting the backbone though, I had it for about 6 months before it stopped working. I ended up getting the Gamesir G8 Galileo, which was cheaper, has lasted much longer and feels more comfortable to hold.

Didn't know I bought a Switch2-like device too

The g8/g8 plus are huge for comfort. Have you checked the X2/X2s? They have the same lenght but with a flat design. I have a G8 Galileo and I love how it looks when my s24u is plugged, feels like an actual console, but I pick it up outdoor only when I have a backpack unfortunately.

Tienen Recomendaciones para Mando/ Control comodo para celular?

Tengo el gamesir g8 galileo, muy recomendado en general la mayoría de productos gamesir. Este mando en particular tiene gatillos análogos, tiene un buen agarre para las manos, palancas suaves y con buena sensibilidad y recorrido. Lo compré hace un par de años y nunca dio problemas

PSA: Mewgenics exists (just don't let your cats know)

If I can do it, anyone can 😁 It's a Gamesir G8 Galileo.

I amazed but the controller support

Yes it will work straight out of the box and gamesir g8 galileo is a smaller version of a controller and my hands are too big for that that’s why i chose evofox deck 2

Gamesir x3 pro vs gamesir g8 galileo

g8 galileo is better overall (comfort + stable controls for genshin/cod), x3 pro is mainly worth it if you want cooling for heavy gaming.for you just go g8 it’s the safer and better daily pick 👍

Qual vale mais a pena?

Tenho o Galileo G8 (usb-c) e é perfeito, tem 2 botões traseiros que uso para colocar o LS e o RS para evitar ficar pressionando o analógico, tenho a impressão que danifica, mas é coisa minha A pegada é muito boa, é texturizado na parte de trás onde você pega, é bem agradável Eu queria que tivesse el

Tablet for Moonlight/Jellyfin

It is damn near perfect for streaming in every way, and so is the G8 Galileo. You can mod it without help in a minute with some toe nail clippers and maybe a box cutter. Even easier if someone helps you hold it apart while you snip. If you plan on long gaming sessions with this setup, don't think of
