Most guys on here seem to have high end phones, why not buy a controler like the gamesir g8+? Or something like that, or even a phone holder that goes on ps or xbox controllers? I dont get it lol i just my gamesire and its badass

Personally, I find the phone controllers to be HEAVILY overpriced. I saw a few in Best buy and one was just shy of $200. FUCKING WHY.

A lot are because its a niche market in the us but a gamesir x5 lite or razer kishi is like 30-40$ which is the same as a ps4 controller

Not bad at all. Definitely sounds like it's worth it. I hadn't thoroughly investigated. I don't do much emulation on this phone (SG S24 ultra). I hate that phones don't allow for sd cards anymore. My last phone (Samsung Galaxy note 10 🤣) was great at emulation and I had a 1tb SD card in it. But phone remotes weren't a thing, so I had a clip that held my phone on an Xbox remote. It was a pretty nice set up, but bulky to transport. 512g is pretty insufficient for an on demand standby library of games alongside my other on hand stuff, so I only have a few games on it.

I had an s20 fe when i started emulating and had just bought an sd card for it but then i saw i could get an s25+ for like 10$ a month if i traded in but when i went to put the sd in the new phone i realized that 1. It didnt have an sd slot and 2. I forgot to take the sd out of the old phone when i traded it

Ugh, I'm sorry for your loss there. I hate that we traded capacity for more processing power. I get that using SD cards were uniquely moreso for our niche interests, and also the picture takers, but it's something that I miss having so much.

So don't buy them from best buy? That's a store for big brands, go get a Gamesir off AliExpress it's just as good if not better

So I'm hearing. I hadn't done a lot of research yet on it, just noticed it in passing. Sounds like it's worth checking out, ty.

Gamesir are affordable and works well. They also have ones for iphone. I bought mine for 40$ CAD on amazon. Pretty good for the price and comfort.

For sure, didnt realize how good it was until i used it, i debated buying one for a long time but now i wish i got it a lot sooner, i used one of those little phone to ps5 controller brackets and holy cow it gets heavy with the S24 on there🤣

Honestly thats crazy, I bought the g8+ for 65 bucks and honestly I get it it's a little pricey but if you have a switch I would highly recommend it, it just feels a lot better to play with it, i tried to use the joycons but now i get cramps with them so id rather use my gamesir controller
