MCON Controller is Complete Garbage
The main thing that got me with this device was when I watched a video after it had been released, of the guy who designed making out like it was more ergonomic then the Gamesir G8 Galileo, who's he kidding??

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.

Why should I get an Odin 3 instead of a controller for my smartphone?
This is an excellent question. At first I used a G8 Galileo with my pixel 6. It was mostly viable I guess, but: It would decimate my battery, which was bad because I needed the battery for phone stuff later on Screen was a bit small at 16x9 it measured only 5,36". Attaching and removing the controll

Muito bom esse controle da Gamesir. Especialmente por 100 reais.
Eu tenho um GameSir G8 Galileo. Mas eu mal uso, tenho jogado mais no console ultimamente.

Problem with Gamesir x3 PRO
Also try a different charger if you have it. These controllers are very picky with voltages and amperes. I tried 7-8 different chargers like Asus, Motorola, Xiaomi, Ugreen, Amazon Basics, etc and finally found one that works. I have the charging problem on both GameSir X3 Pro and GameSir G8 Galileo.

Gamesir X5 Lite or G8 Galileo, which one to buy considering portability?
With G8 Galileo you will have to remove the case (I had to with every case I tested, even pretty thin ones, but it might be phone dependant). For X5 Lite I don't now since I got the X5s. G8 can perfectly be carried in a backpack (you'll probably wanna buy a case), but X5 is really smaller and comes

G8+ MFi support for PS Remote Play app?
I ended up getting the G8 Galileo, I just tested it and it connected to my remote play. Unfortunately this controller doesn't feel as good as the G8 Mfi but it is what it is, it will serve its purpose for me until a better feeling controller comes along!

MCON Controller is Complete Garbage
The G8 Galileo dpad cramps my hand instantly; it was a quick return for me. Maybe if you don't use the dpad much you can tolerate it though. I actually do like the M-Con's D-pad there, but yeah L/R bumpers are complete mush, to the point there's dozens of comments littered in the discord, where peop
