Great video! 🎉 Which controller would you recommend if I only want to play Cloud Gaming on the iPad Mini? Do you think a controller like the Gamesir G8+ would cause latency since Bluetooth might interfere with the Wi-Fi signal?

[eddiehoang]

Alittle tricky between usb-c vs bluetooth only controllers. One biggest con you did not mention with the G8+ is that it does not work as an all in one controller. The S9 having usbc allows to charge the tablet via passthrough for an all-in-one experience. With the G8+ you have to charge both devices separately.

I heard that the Kishi Ultra has a rubber tip that fits perfectly with the iPad mini, keeping it securely in place without any wobbling. Could you tell me how well other game controllers stay fixed in place? When it’s slightly loose, it can feel less unified, which distracts me and takes away from the immersion while playing.

Also, since the GameSir G8 Plus doesn’t use a USB-C connection, I’m curious if there’s any noticeable difference in latency. Latency is crucial when using Remote Play, so I’d like to know if there’s any impact.

I wonder if there are any controllers that would work with my ipad 13 inches. It would be majestic to play there.

When you showed us the abxylute S9 for the first time, I preordered it on kickstarter. I was able to test it for the first time yesterday. I am very satisfied and I play PSP games on it with iPhone 16 pro max. Thank you for your videos, keep it up.

Would the ipad mini work with a thin-ish case with the Elo Vagabond?? Also note the Elo Vagabond is available for $100 right now!

Can you please elaborate more on what exactly is so bad about the razer one in comparison to the other controllers? Specifically for the consumers who can definitely afford to spend whatever amount of money they want on their hobbies.
With that said, the price of something being high should not automatically eliminate a product from being reviewed or from a list. However, providing a disclaimer about the price is good practice.

In any case, I'd really appreciate it as I was eyeing the Razer controller for my iPad Mini 7! (Perhaps my iPhone 16 Pro Max, too)

Great reviews, picking up a G8+ now. Thanks!

[Benzionhai]

Hi, please what is the game playing in 12:34?

[michaelsaucedo]

Could you make a video exactly like this, but instead of having controllers that fit an iPad Mini 7, have them be controllers that fit a Galaxy Tab S9? Greetings from Mexico Klef, and I would be eternally grateful

These top 5 is better easier to make a choose wonderful 👍👌

What Controller is the best for cod ? Top prio is latency used with a iPhone16 pro Max

[ravitiwari]

hey man, what racing game were you playing at 14:50 please?

[mnrd]

Nice review and i'm new to your channel! I wonder if any of these controllers will support iPad Mini 7 with silicone case on? I hate dropping/denting my iPad while playing hehehe y'know!

[mikb]

Awesome options - I had only been considering the backbone and razer kishi ultimate. Any thoughts on the razer compared to the vagabond?

Also, only 11k subs? What a crime! You provided thoughtful original reviews of 5 products I hadnt heard of. Feels like everyone else focuses on modded backbones or the razer kishi ultimate.

First to it...
😁🤣🧐🤔🤯
Ah...
The iPad mini... It's an amazing little tablet... But no Micro-sd Card slot...
🤔

What game is in the 2nd position looks cool.

[oreocookie]

Can someone answer why I need a controller in the first place? Do I get better results while playing? I mean every game has a built-in controller on the screen

[tonyrosario]

So the bluetooth controller works better than plug in? Input latency might be an issue on Bluetooth. 🍻

does cod mobile work with the g8+ for ipad mini?
