Absolutely fantastic

This is a really great sturdy controller, once the phone is in there it feels like they were built together, which is not normally the case with these type of controllers. I use it for Ge-Force now on my phone and once its all fired up it basically turns my phone into a steamdeck. Works great with native android apps too (if they have controller support they will detect it and just work) and also using it with emulators.i have had quite a few of these sort of controllers over the years and this is probably the best one, especially for this price point when compared with some of the razer ones.

Baby's got back

If you're coming from similar controllers like the Backbone One and are looking with a little more to hold on too. This delivers.Using an iPhone 15, this delivers a phenomenal experience. It's mainly used for Moonlight streaming games from a PC but the grip and controls are brilliant.Comes with a selection of Hall effect sticks, I replaced these with a pair of Xbox One thumb sticks and recalibrated and they work great. Triggers are class leading in this category, would've enjoyed a bit more tension but the travel and feel is akin to the Xbox One controller.If you're looking at Moga XP7-X, or Nacon, or anything other than a slim profile controller like the backbone and Kishi, get this. And even if you are thinking about a Backbone One, or Kishi, still get this. It's much more comfortable, way better control, and surprisingly low profile when installed.In case you see reviews saying it doesn't work on iPhone 15, you need to put it in PS mode first, as stated in the manual.

Good

Worked with my Nubia z60 phone. Thumbstick and front facing buttons are good quality and feel nice. Triggers could be better. Came shipped in secure and nicely presented packaging. Included instructions could be better explsining the different modes.

Best and affordable controller

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.

If you want to play COD Mobile with a Samsung S23 Ultra, don't get this controller

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.

Unreliable trigger quality

Lovely controller and an ok experience setting up and mapping keys. (Not amazing, but ok). If not for the following issue, I'd rate 5 stars, but literally unusable = no stars.Buuuut! The R2 trigger just straight up failed on day 3. Failure mode was constant triggering events, dozens of times per second, even without touching the controller. No ability to stop, reset, override or anything. The scant advice on Google didn't help, though it's clear this is not a unique issue. Reinstalling the software stopped it from auto-triggering. But depressing the trigger still registered as repeat presses dozens of times per second.No incantations or recipes appear to be able to fix this.Tl:Dr; Literally unusable after ~10 hours of typical usage
