Iv bought 3 gamesir controllers, 1 for me (G8) and the other 2 (G8+) as gifts. Truly the most reliable 3rd party controller i have ever bought.

[JaimesJL]

Great vid, I received this as a gift and I love it, I use it for switch.

Of all the G8+ videos I've seen you're the only one that actually talks about the rumble rather than just read off a spec sheet. So I guess android mode doesn't have rumble? Seems a bit silly to need such a long dongle though

[owieuychiat]

Mine is arriving today. Excited to try it!

[alistairstewart]

I got my G8+ last week and I love it but still am getting my head round the Games if mode for remapping touch screen controls. A tutorial on that would be great.

[kurisu]

The word you're saying rhymes with "jungle." "Dongle" is not intended to rhyme with "jungle."
That said, you did look it up. Your context is clear. You're not being misunderstood, so for what it's worth *I* don't mind how you're saying it. 😊

[ivana]

There are some great rubber tape grips available for the g8 that really help when on tablets

[tonybones]

Wish you would've explained how to map the buttons in the G-touch mode, but you didn't even mention G-touch, let alone explain how to use it.

[SLR]

Hey man, I loved your video. I just received my G8+ yesterday and it doesn't work on my iPhone 15, it says in the app that it won't work on iOS 13.4 and above. The controller looks and feels great but I couldn't play with it on my iPhone. Do you have a specific solution to this or am I just wasting $80 😅?

[Andrew-Night]

Two things I miss about G8 Plus (Even being waiting for all these months and you did not do it)

1) How to use G8 Plus on windows mode when it is in XINPUT mode (with no dongle)

2) you should try the 'rrtronicscreations' expansion kit for the G8 plus. They have the kit, or the kit just installed+ the g8 plus. Also they personalided this gamepad with ps buttons.

Lets have a look because it is astonishing.

I really miss XINPUT mode compatkbility by bluetooth on this G8 Plus for Windows. You did not do that tutorial yet.

Thanks

[daliodis]

Awesome Video as always Cleff! I wanted to ask of you could also test the dongle on ps5/ps4? Maybe the bluetooth connection on ps mode will actually work with the dongle plugged into the console?

@Game Tech Talk
Also, FYI, When in BlueTooth Settings, if paired, when you press and hold the "Pair" Button next to the Charging USB C port underneath the controller, it will show a NEW Gamesir G8+. And it will CONTINUE to do this an infinite amount of times as long as you pair each time.
The craziest part is each of these SOMEHOW has an entirely new mapping for each Gamesir G8+ connection. I've noticed in an Emulator such as Dolphin, it does not recognize the new Paired G8+ like the previous ones, even when it's the exact same controller. I have to clear them all and re map.

What's this about?

[Irving_alexis]

I completely forgot about that redmagic controller

[-Airwalk-]

@game tech talk Can you explain why the Yellow LED (android) with android 13, sends a notification once connected to "Configure your physical keyboard"? Android13 thinks the G8+ I'd a legitimate keyboard and you can see this in depth if you go to motion inputs/simulation in PlayStore Dolphin Emulator and click "Device" drop-down to GameSir G8+, you'll see EVERY BUTTON q keyboard has AS WELL as all the buttons named as we call them. "Button A, R1, R3" NOT as almost every ither Emulator displays them, Button 96, 97, 102, 103, 107, 108, 109 Acis -15, +15 Axis -0, +0, -1, +1.

It's It's weird. Why is this?

[DjinnZhad]

You dungle, words that have this sound:
Jungle
Bundle
Dung
Hung
Sung
Won
Money
Fun

The way Google said in this video is dongle, other words with this sound:
Dawn
Song
Wad
Hawk
Lob
Yawn
Gobble
On
Pawn
Con
Job
Fog
Hog

If i recall in another video you were able to use it on 13" pro ipad on landscape. but in this video you say only in portrait, do you no longer recommend it for ipad 13" pro tablets? was still on the fence on buying this

[danielmay]

Just bought this and the dead zones are terrible on ios. It's set to 0 to 100 in the app but I've got to move like halfway on the joystick before the game moves

[-Airwalk-]

Dongle- "Daa-ng-le"
DONG-ULL not DUNG-ULL

Hope that helps!

[Unknownpersonsx]

I am stuck on ps mode... Can't get through the Xbox mode

[ImThatGuyGoddi]

Does the rumble not work when your using your phone playing on gforce? It don't work for me
