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

My honest GameSir support experience (website vs Discord)
This, ive read so much stories of people that are on their second or thirth g7 in like a year, and they still claim its the best controller out there because the customer service is "great". I have a gamesir g8 Galileo and if it would break in a couple months, that would be my last g8 Galileo xd

Very happy with vibepollo
I've been using the G8+ in Blue mode (DS4) connected to my host PC USB BT dongle with the aid of DualsenseX software to change input to XInput (XBOX 360), and the latency is unnoticeable, it's basically the same as my regular Dualsense controller. The problem with the latency that the OP noticed hap

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.
