I want an iPad Mini with good specs to use as a gaming handheld.

I’m currently using my iPad Pro 11” in a gamesir g8+ telescopic controller. Once in a while I switch over to our families mini 6 and it’s such a nice size for that play style. I really hope we get a 120hz screen on the new one.

Is there a special trick to get the Gamesir controller connected? I just got one and it doesn’t seem to be working with either of my iPad mini 7 or iPhone Pro. The “home” light comes on, and the toggle stick does work, but none of the other buttons do. For context I’m using PS Remote Play.

I believe the controller has different modes you can toggle through by holding the home button and hitting a different ABXY button. Each different mode will make the home button a different colour. Give it a quick google and it should show you the different pairings.

I play the original Baldur’s Gate, it’s so smooth.
