Best portable solution under €300 right now?

If you have a good phone, I'd recommend purchasing a Gamesir G8 Galileo and using that. Sold my Legion Go and now use my phone for the same task for much cheaper. Input lag with the controller is negligible. If you were to get a tablet, you'd need a wired controller or one that comes with a dongle,

I’m looking for opinions on the GameSir G8 +, I’m looking for something IOS and moonlight compatible that is ergonomic and comfortable for long sessions with larger hands, my backbone is great by slightly too small

Consider G8 Galileo, since it is much lighter than G8+ and G8+ MFi according to my googling . I am G8+ user(the one that can run both wired and wireless), I would say wireless mode is not needed at all (noticeable Bluetooth latency), also wireless means gamepad has batteries that makes it heavier. G

GameSir 8 Galileo still worth it now?

Asking if anyone has this controller is moot, you are on the Gamesir subreddit, there will be many people that own this. It's good, it's sturdy, quiet; but the D-pad is loud and clicky so I avoid using it on planes or in bed with someone. I use the X5 Lite instead for travel. The G8 Galileo will not

What a time to be alive

I dont mean this in a bad way, but if you are sensitive to inputlag, then you should absolutely not be able to play on the g8 plus. The g8 plus is known for its added latency because of its wireless connection. The g8 plus has pretty bad input latency overal. If you are used to it then yes you wont

G8+ o G8 mfi para iPhone 17 pro Max

Logicamente falando, o MFI deveria ser a sua melhor opção, mas se você não estiver tão confiante pra fazer a compra, você pode desconsiderar ele e escolher entre o G8 Galileo e G8 Plus, nesse caso a resposta vai depender do que você quiser. maior versatilidade? G8 plus. menor latência ? G8 Galileo.

What a time to be alive

I hear the "fine for me" alot in the lossless scaling sub when people use in their game from 30fps to 45fps and having 100+ inputlatency. This doesnt mean its okay for the general public if they are used to better. Again im not trying to talk bad my man, u have a nice setup, but for real try the g8

What a time to be alive

I can attest to what you're saying here. Maybe for a game like COE33 this would be acceptable, as it's turn based and you don't have to move the camera all the time. For me, I already had the G8 Plus and it works fine for Nintendo Switch 1 and 2, but for Moonlight/Artemis it is completely unusable f

Retroarch on iPad Mini - Controller Rec?

There is a 3D print to extend the width of the G8 Galileo. I did this for an iPad air and it works perfect. I don't use it often since it is pretty heavy. Using this for the mini might be best since it keeps the USB connection for input latency.

Game 🎯 Suggestion

I had this controller and it was pretty amazing. Those clicky buttons are so satisfying. Sold it and got a Tarantula Pro for a stupid good price because I switched from phone gaming to a laptop now so I didn't need the x3 anymore, but there was a huge response difference between my older G8 Galileo

Man, Dark Souls looks so good on the Fold 7. I might do my first ever playthrough on my phone instead of my PC honestly

Great to hear! I did not order the plus though, since I was worried about bluetooth latency. I wanna game on my iPad and I am planning on modding my g8 galileo for this.
