Backbone Gen2 drifting

Time and time again people have been warned against purchasing backbones. I recommend the gamesir brand. The x5 lite or the g8 Galileo (mind you with the Galileo) you should get an anker charger because a regular apple charger can’t sense the voltage it needs to pass through charge. Only caveat. HOW

Cursed to remove my phone case every time I use the backbone.

The GameSir G8 Galileo is pretty great if you just need the USB-C connection and no Bluetooth. Feels a lot like a regular Xbox controller, and I don’t have to remove my phone case to plug it in. These smaller, more Switch-like ones are super uncomfortable to me.

I HATE THIS GAME

same, but you should at least get a controller that can connect to your phone. the emulator supports it and it makes the experience much much better. I personally use gamesir g8 galileo, I got it on the facebook marketplace type website for a cheap price

GameSir 8 Galileo still worth it now?

Asking if anyone has this controller is moot, you are on the Gamesir subreddit, there will be many people that own this. It's good, it's sturdy, quiet; but the D-pad is loud and clicky so I avoid using it on planes or in bed with someone. I use the X5 Lite instead for travel. The G8 Galileo will not

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. G

PS Backbone question

Please dont buy backbone, its way too overpriced for what it is. Rather get gamesir x5 lite, which you can find for like 30 euros. Or if you want the best possible; gamesir g8 galileo. Both work with usb-c, and allow charging while playing. I have owned both, backbone (back when I had iphone with li

What a time to be alive

I dont mean this in a bad way, but if you are sensitive to inputlag, then you should absolutely not be able to play on the g8 plus. The g8 plus is known for its added latency because of its wireless connection. The g8 plus has pretty bad input latency overal. If you are used to it then yes you wont

Fold 7 conteoller and case compatibility

I use the G8 Galileo, it's the same design as the G8+ but it uses USB-C to connect meaning you dont have to charge it and has pass through charging. It also fits with a case.

Os smartphones estão resignificando a experiência com os jogos antigos

Gamesir X5 lite se quiser portabilidade, G8 Galileo se quiser um controle no estilo e tamanho do controle de xbox que abre e se conecta no celular igual no da foto.

i finally got it, but i have some questions

I tested the 3.5mm jack with my TRRS Sennheiser PC37X wired headphones and my Apple EarPods. Audio works but there is no microphone input on iOS. I also tested the G8 Galileo to Windows 11 through a USB-C female to male extension cable. Game input is detected, audio out works but no microphone. The
