MCON ruined clamp-style mobile controllers for me

Yeah, I keep mine in my backpack pretty much permanently. So nice to have at hand all the time. I certainly never did that with clamp style controllers. I've barely touched my G8 Galileo since receiving the MCON.

Got frustrated at tablet gaming so got myself a portal!

Sweet! I wish I could afford a Portal for the DualSense features, but it's not in the budget so I ended up getting the Gamesir G8 Galileo controller a couple weeks ago. It has completely changed how much I'm able to game, I love the portability, and my daughter loves that I'll no longer fall asleep

Android & OLED screens

My current setup redmagic 11 Air+gamesir g8 Galileo (usb). Parhaps lightest, fastest setup 2 ms latency for it's price and comfort but no vibration ( I don't care and I can use smartphone vibration). Maybe in future will switch to some 9 inch oled tablet and gamepad with TMR and clicking buttons but

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

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.

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.

Goodbye Thermal Throttling and Hello Seamless Crisp Better Gameplay

I've been using the Gamesir G8 Galileo (USB) on my S25+ for a while, and it's a fantastic combination. I wanted to upgrade screen size due to old eyes (can't read small text on small screen) and ordered a Legion Tab Gen 5 with the Bluetooth Gamesir Galileo G8+Plus (fits the tablet). Pros: The 8.8" t

Question about Retroid Pocket and similar devices

One option you might want to consider is to buy a controller for your phone. It will not look or feel as nice as a dedicated handheld, but it's going to be the cheapest route. My personal favorite is the GameSir G8 Galileo because of the full-size controls and 3.5mm headphone jack. Since it's full s

MCON ruined clamp-style mobile controllers for me

Yeah, and as much as I like the G8 Galileo the bluetooth version would CONSTANTLY get activated by various button presses, there's no way to 'lock' it to be off. And man I'm not adding even MORE bulk by putting it in a case within my backpack.
