I'm looking for a good phone controller for my s25. Has anyone got some experience with them and can someone recommend me a good one.
I've been looking into these types of controllers for a while now and have settled on the GameSir G8/+ as being the best bang for your buck and the one most people recommend. I'm just waiting on the next sale on Alixp to pull the trigger.
I've been looking at that one as well. I would also agree that that's the best bang for the buck. It seems like all of them have some drawback.
I can't recommend a good one but I do own a Razer Kishi (V2 I think) and while it does what it promises, it feels cheap as hell. Very unpleasant clicky buttons and at least my version doesn't fit all newer smartphone sizes (I have to remove the case for both the pixel 7 and the fairphone 5). I think for some casual short gaming sessions it still works but I wouldn't want to use it daily.
I was pretty disappointed with it too. Was obsolete basically day 1. Idea is right, the execution is lame. As is the case with the two razer products that I've purchased, there won't be others, at least for this guy.
I think I wouldn't have been so disappointed, if it cost like 10€ max. But at that price I expected basically the build quality of a 8bit do controller or something. I would have used it for retro emulation on the go but there's way better options like the R36H handheld or similar devices now I guess.
I recently got this having tried a few others in the past and I can't fault this one. It's excellent!
