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 Controller is Complete Garbage
That's hilarious. The G8 Galileo feels like a proper console controller. It's even more ergonomic than any dedicated Android handheld I've ever owned. The marketing around this controller is so ridiculous.

Can anyone recommend me a robust good build quality version of this, so many cheap nasty crap on the market that wouldn’t survive travelling
I went with the GameSir G8 Galileo to have a controller that does not need recharging. Feels great in hand, works perfectly on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. You can even set the menu button to open Moonlight.

A boomer requires backbone advice ...
I have a pixel 9pro xl and play fortnite on it all the time, works great! I wouldn't recommend getting the backbone though, I had it for about 6 months before it stopped working. I ended up getting the Gamesir G8 Galileo, which was cheaper, has lasted much longer and feels more comfortable to hold.

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.

Tienen Recomendaciones para Mando/ Control comodo para celular?
Tengo el gamesir g8 galileo, muy recomendado en general la mayoría de productos gamesir. Este mando en particular tiene gatillos análogos, tiene un buen agarre para las manos, palancas suaves y con buena sensibilidad y recorrido. Lo compré hace un par de años y nunca dio problemas

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.

PSA: Mewgenics exists (just don't let your cats know)
If I can do it, anyone can 😁 It's a Gamesir G8 Galileo.
