GameSir G8 Galileo Type-C Mobile Gaming Controller for Android & iPhone 15 Series (USB-C), Plug and Play Gamepad with Hall Effect Joysticks/Hall Trigger, 3.5mm Audio Jack

The media could not be loaded. Overall, the G8 Galileo game controller is a fantastic option for anyone looking to enhance their gaming experience. Its combination of comfort, performance, and customizability sets it apart from many competitors in the market. While there are a few minor improvements that could be made—such as additional grip options or more extensive RGB lighting features—the controller delivers on its promise and offers excellent value for money. Whether you're a casual gamer or looking to take your skills to the next level, the G8 Galileo is certainly worth considering.

Bought for some android gaming but especially streaming via Xbox or PC; works almost flawlessly for cloud gaming provising you have decent fibre internet speeds.Anything running on the phone native works great with the controller which is extremely comfortable, robust and correct size, an issue with the Nintendo Switch joycons for example.Honestly I would never consider playing proper android games before owning this but now it's like a having a fully powered console. Deffo worth £80.Minor cons would be very slight wiggle as it's not secured with any clips or something, and the phone connector is quite delicate but TBF I haven't had an issue to date.If you want a switch, ps portal or steam deck etc this isn't the same but covers much of the same potential at a fraction of the cost. The fact you don't need Bluetooth and batteries etc is excellent as well, it's effectively a large phone case with gaming controls. Awesome

The controller is light and feels very comfortable for someone with normal sized hands.I'd say the Face buttons are similar to the DualShocks 5, d-pad and bumpers are a bit 'clicky', triggers have near to no resistance and the back 'grip' buttons, as well as the joysticks, are similar to those on a steam deck.The 'grip' buttons can act as any other button on the controller and are easy to map.I have used this controller with my IPhone 15 (non pro). I find that Inputs are really responsive in games and I have not experienced any discomfort when playing more for than an hour but battery does seem to drain faster.Unfortunately, IPhones only work in 'PS Mode' so the app is useless and you can't simulate touch screen controls either. So no good for games without controller support.Additionally, when in PS Mode the two buttons glow White which are a little bright.While the controller can expand to fit a variety of devices it will not work with Thick cases.If you have a thin case this will work fine but due to the unremovable rubber padding around the USB C on the controller and the thickness of my regular casetify case (which is approx 3mm) the USB C does not go all the way into the phone.Overall, great controller if you're looking for non-Nintendo switch like joysticks, however, expect less functionality on iPhone.

Been using this controller for about 2 months on an almost daily basis and I am very happy with this purchase.This product has been used with my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra which fits perfectly, the only niggle I have is that I have to take off my phone case to get my phone to fit to the USB-C connection but that's not a real issue.I have been using this to play Xbox remotely, its basically plug and play and I have experienced no latency issues.Controller feels high quality with a replaceable magnetic faceplate and thumbsticks.Highly recommended.

This is great for playing mobile games or loading up retroatch and using some emulators on my phone. However I would say if you want something it is more compatible with tablets or want a wireless option the go for the g8+. I have both and the button response is great with little to no latency the setup with the app is straight forward and can be used with psn remote play xbox cloud gaming or even mobile games. Great controllers highly recommend.

I got this GameSir controller as a replacement for my Backbone controller, as it had stopped working. I use the controller for playing COD Mobile exclusively. I've seen good reviews for the GameSir G8 Galileo on Youtube and other places so I decided to give it a go.Initially, the signs were good. Nice packaging and the controller itself feels very solid and looks good. After setting up the GameSir G8, and using it to play a few matches on COD Mobile, I've decided to return it. It just isn't suited to this particular game. When attempting to fine tune the mapping, I found the GameSir app very difficult to open in COD Mobile. Even after updating everything, it was still a struggle to open it. It seems the app isn't suited to my Samsung S23 Ultra phone.After eventually managing to open the app and fine tuning the mapping of buttons and triggers, it just doesn't work that well. Buttons and triggers can be unresponsive. If one moves quickly between controls, there can sometimes be a lag. The double click on buttons regularly becomes confused. Additionally, the control mapping often doesn't start up correctly, resulting in a failed match and having to restart my phone. It's ended up being a lot more effort than it's worth. This controller may be good for other games, but for COD Mobile, it's poor. I'll be going back to a Backbone controller.

Basically unusable on iOS. There’s no way to change the deadzones because the GameSir iOS app doesn’t support this controller and by default the deadzones are massive so it’s impossible to control.
