There are so many options for using a controller with your phone these days. A lot of the great ones are 3D printed prototypes at the moment. The Razer Kishi line has some of my favorite retail controllers, the latest being the Razer Kishi Ultra, which is a bit overkill...

I have a Chinese controller [BSP D9] that natively mimics the signal of PS, Xbox, and switch controllers. So, it's perfect for remote play. I recently got an Android phone [Redmagic 9 Pro] specifically for emulation with Dolphin and Yuzu. This setup allowed me to play Nintendo games for the first time, and it has been serving me great. I never take the Android phone or the mobile controller out of the house, so the bulkiness is not an issue for my use case. But in general, mobile [emu] gaming has never been better!

I got the D8 a while back and was genuinely blown away by how good it is. For sure, it does feel cheap but it works incredibly well. Hall effect joysticks and triggers in a device I paid like $18 on AliExpress is insane. I use the Gamesir G8 now, but I've been thinking of grabbing the new one they put out. The D10S with the cooling pad on the back. I almost got the D9 as well, but I personally couldn't get over how much it was trying to look like a dualsense. It felt a bit cheesy imo. Different strokes and all that, I guess. Still, BSP is absolutely killing it.

These are the reasons I like my backbone with a 15 pro: 1. Build quality issues with portable emulators (had an rg35xx and rp3+ become unusable). 2. Convenient to play games on my phone and then add a controller if I need (playing phoenix wright with touch controls then a controller for hades). 3. Light, going on a euro trip soon and a backbone controller is much lighter then a bigger emulator. 4. While I don’t use it often, having remote play for ps5 and steam is great. 5. In the future we’ll hopefully see GameCube, ps2 and more ports to ios.

@Ironically-Sarcastic 15 дней назад

GameCube and PS2 emulators won't be coming to the app store unfortunately, because they depend on dynamic recompilation to get any reasonable speed. The app store guidelines still specifically state that dynamic recompilation is against their terms, and that's mostly because it allows for viruses and malicious software to slip through their detection. If they allowed it, app developers could inject code that breaks all of Apple's other rules after the app had already been approved and downloaded onto people's phones.

I wish someone would make an actual controller phone case, just a case that you put around your phone and then you could just slide it out and have a controller and then slide it back in when your done. That simple. Imo bluetooth sucks I'd rather it be plugged into the USB C already and then the case have a port for USB c if you needed to charge it. I understand that might get quite bulky but personally that's what I want. I've tried using a Bluetooth Controller but there's just way too much lag it's like 1 second lag between clicks and it's awful. I wanted a Razor Kishi V1 but when I ordered it they gave me a V2 and I didn't like having to take my phone case completely off the V2 to use it so I returned it and never did manage to get a V1. I heard on V1 there was a rubber peice you could remove to use it without taking off your case and I liked how it folded up into a combat form because I found a case online for it to put it in for travelling.

I think there’s actually a lot of promise in this market, it’s just still so new and expensive relative to what you get. If you’re spending $800-1000+ on a powerful phone with a nice screen, and mobile gaming has got a lot of attention and development, it only makes sense to utilize it! With that said, $150 is too much for the compromises you mentioned. It still needs the one thing 99% of phones don’t have which is active cooling. Accessories exist for that purpose, but it’s still a nascent category and has its compromises, chief among which for me is that you can’t use your own case to fit the controller. To justify the hassle and bulk of carrying it around, it needs to be compatible with phones that have a normal size range of cases, provide active cooling, and at an affordable or sensible price.

@linkssz1699 15 дней назад

Check out the gamesir X4, it's a split controller and it should leave enough room for a cooling fan.

@Mister_Phafanapolis 15 дней назад

I think if you're getting into peripherals with active cooling or proprietary cases with heat pipes, etc. then you're trying too hard. IMO an Android handheld gaming device like a Retroid Pocket or Ayn Odin would be a better choice for most people because it's a dedicated device built with cooling in mind, has built in controls/grips, it separates the functions of gaming/phone stuff, and generally looks cleaner, more cohesive, wholistic in design than a phone + series of peripherals.

The biggest barrier to mobile gaming has been software support, software support breaks frequently, especially on Android and it's difficult or impossible for older mobile games to run on modern OSes.

I feel like the reason you don't understand the market for that controller is because you HAVE all those other handhelds. Plenty of people have expensive and powerful phones because of carrier subsidies, but no gaming handhelds at all. In that case, it seems pretty easy to justify spending under $200 on an attachment for your phone instead of spending even more money on a handheld that will STILL be substantially less powerful than a modern top of the line smartphone. On top of that, if you're the kind of person who upgrades your phone every few years, you get to bring your controller along with you even more powerful device.

Many people have cheap phones, especially younger people or they don't like smart phones or want to game without the phone temptation/interruption, and given solid emulation devices that do more than any phone under $500 are like, $150-200 let alone the more expensive ones, if you don't have a high end phone plan situation or sometimes even if you do, a cheaper android handheld makes more sense for many, or a mid range one even.

Since I still use a Huawei P30 Pro as my main phone for 5 years now, the Razer Junglecats are the way to go. Not great for ergonomic, but super portable. And with the special 3D printed carrying middle piece I designed, it's easy and safe to just pop them on a small bag like a fanny bag or even a large pocket, since the 3d printed middle piece provides protection for the sticks, something the original middle piece doesn't.

I missed a side-to-side comparison with the gamesir G8, witch is the more similar in form factor I've enjoyed a time with the RP3+, the first gen kishi, and a generic bt telescopic controller that got some recommendations a few years back, but the gamesir G8 was the first one that got me really going for it and enjoying steamlink more in addition to emulators. It's a bit bulkier than the RP3+ and other controllers (just like the kishi ultra), but there is plenty space in my backpack and my phone is a more capable device anyway. Plus, I enjoy the xbox-like shape, even for retro gaming, the lower dpad is no issue to me

Remember to keep the guy behind the M-Con on your radar, dude’s got a crazy good concept for a mobile controller that attaches to the back thru MagSafe and I think it’s gonna blow anything else outta the water!

For phone controllers, the Nacon Mg-x Pro (the xbox one) is so good. Genuinely console feeling buttons and sticks, holds my Fold 5 perfectly

@rubin_sandwich12 15 дней назад

Galileo G8 with the Galaxy Fold 4 has been pretty stellar. Fold direction is more palatable with the larger controller, and i already don't use a case with it usually. Plus it has a PS mode as a quick swap feature so its compatibility is hard to beat.

As someone who previously said that "instead of buying retro handheld systems, just buy a controller for your phone because it is much more capable of emulating retro games, even ps2 levels", having bought an OG35XX changed my perspective. Having a dedicated retro handheld system is really convenient in a way that it is pocketable and can be fired up and play anytime anywhere. As an added bonus, no distractions from notifications if using phone.

Gyro aiming is so clutch. Best part of my Breath of the Wild playthrough was standing in the kitchen playing in handheld mode, feeding my 1 year old in between sections of fighting Vah Ruda, and twirling around to shoot cryonis at the ice blocks coming from all angles. Ever since, if a game doesn't support gyro natively (and I hate when PS ports don't!) I always try to finagle some gyro aiming with the Steam Deck or DualSense through Steam Input. Even if it's not full spinning around like BotW and TotK (some of the best gyro aiming out there), making little tweaks for headshots or such is so easy with gyro compared to trying to make tiny moves on a thumbstick. Gyro 4 eva!

Hall Effect is not a buzzword like Ai it means that it will not drift some people are upset with the fact that normal controllers will eventually drift especially if you spend +100$ on a pro / ultra whatever controller ( i had a ps5 controller that started drifting immediately after the return window closed and that did upset me a lot ) and Hall Effect controllers do solve this problem and personally i will never buy a controller that doesnt have Hall Effect Analogs and Hall Effect Triggers no more headaches for me

Use case: I have emulators set up on my phone and computer. I use Syncthing to sync the save files. Real hardware, I'd have to spend time dumping the save files if I wanted them to sync. Playing through Pokémon 3DS games right now, and once you reach 3DS tier, it seems more economical to just use a good, strong, longer phone than a handheld that you have to switch views or settle for small dual screens.

@winkblink8636 14 дней назад

I used the original Razor Kishi with my Galaxy S20 for emulation after college and while I was in grad school since my gaming laptop died as soon as I finished undergrad. It was a good way to save money while in grad school, the OG Kishi being more convenient for putting in my school bag, ready for a quick break during long days of writing and research. Since then, I upgraded to a Steam Deck OLED. I'm not quite living out of a suitcase anymore but the Deck has made gaming more convenient and the screen is amazing. I'm finally able to go through my Steam backlog of over a decade (lots of sales), and do some emulation all in one beautiful device. I only see myself going back to my phone for emulation when I upgrade next year to the Galaxy S25 Ultra, specifically for certain DS and 3DS games where touch is essential. I will use the included phone stylus or perhaps I will buy a used 3DS to play DS and 3DS roms.

It is absolutely convenient to have a mobile phone and a handheld console with you! Who tf wants their gaming interrupted by a text or a phone call? Nobody.

@DannerBanks 15 дней назад

I predominantly bought the Galileo G8 for two reasons: 1. Remote play for Steam and Gamepass. 2. Wasn't willing to spend more than $100 on a dedicated handheld, and below that amount, it is somewhat challenging to get Gamecube and above running. I already have a flagship phone so why not leverage it to the hilt?

i mainly turned my phone into something that does handheld games up to psp and consoles up to the n64 (minus those n64 decomps) my steam deck is mostly for pc games and gamecube and up and 3ds for ds and 3ds (i can’t stand using a single screen device for dual screen games)

@rev0lu7ion 13 дней назад

i wouldn't suggest phone mounts because it's bluetooth instead of wired and the phone is much heavier than the controller making it uncomfortable

One scenario I see myself using my phone with a controller like the Backbone One instead of a portable emulation machine like a Steam Deck or a PlayStation Vita is RetroAchievements, specifically while on the go. Those require you to be connected to the internet, and then running the game on the phone and strapping the controller - even if you need to remove the case, which is the case of the Backbone One, at least the old generation I have here - is more convenient then getting your phone, setting up a mobile hotspot, getting your other emulation device and connecting to it.

Great video! For me I use my razer kishi v2 for streaming my pc with moonlight. It's great to be able to play jrpg's when out and about or when I'm at home and just want to play on the couch instead of my pc desk. Sure I can use my Steam Deck for that but sometimes I just want a smol device.

I was just looking into finally getting a mini emulator device when I saw someone post their funky phone solution: an 8bitdo micro with a suction cup patch on the back, stuck onto their phone screen (for portrait mode emulation). So I ordered the controller and an adhesive suction cup patch to do the same for myself haha. Fingers crossed it'll suit my needs.

All a controller needs is 2 analogs and 4 shoulder buttons, but the analogs under the phone and the triggers over it, the rest of the buttons can be mapped into the screen, for the "feeling" you can have a screen protector with some groover where the buttons would be, using gyroscope is a must, you get the camera very sensible and to have a better aim set up the gyroscope to give that last adjust before a headshot.

BSP D8 controller with my Samsung Galaxy Fold5 makes it an awesome portable retro gaming handheld. 4:3 games looks amazing on it, and it's now the only system where I play arcade shmups, because the taller aspect ratio makes it perfect for those games.

I haven't considered a magsafe controller grip but that makes the most sense to me. Then the selling point is the home console level ergonomics which beats both touch controls and most dedicated handhelds. btw this may sound obvious if you already know, but it needs to be said: there are magsafe cases for Android phones too, it's not iPhones exclusive tech.
