This next entry goes out to all of those who need a good mobile gaming controller deal. Amazon's Big Spring Sale is offering 15% off the price of the GameSir G8 Bluetooth Controller, which is one of the best controllers we've tested for gaming on an Android phone.
This controller is like the Galileo G8, but you now get the upgrade of Bluetooth connectivity. We loved it upon its release for that and its ergonomic design with full-size triggers, long-lasting battery life, and its overall impressive value. The added discount definitely doesn't hurt either.
The GameSir G8 Plus also features customizable back paddles, hall effect thumb-sticks including an interchangeable design, and a wide range of compatibility across device types.
GameSir G8 Plus: $79.99 $67.99 for Amazon's Big Spring Sale
Our favorite mobile gaming controller, the GameSir G8 Plus, is currently selling for just $68 for Amazon's Big Spring Sale, representing a 15% discount. With Bluetooth connectivity and a comfortable design, the G8 Plus is a worthy successor to the Galileo, and it's a perfect pick for anyone new or familiar with the mobile controller game.
✅Recommended if: you want a mobile gaming controller with reliable, realistic vibration, compatibility across a wide range of devices, and a customizable button map; battery life is super important to you when it comes to getting a mobile gaming controller; you'd prefer something with high-quality, fast-paced Bluetooth connectivity, rather than USB-C.
❌Skip this deal if: your phone or tablet has a massive camera island that might have clearance issues with the G8 Plus, and you'd rather find one more suitable; you need something with a headphone jack for immersive headphone or speaker gaming setups that require a wired connection; you'd rather upgrade to something on the premium level.
The GameSir G8 Plus offers a great gaming experience across a range of Android and iOS phones and tablets, as well as with other devices like the Nintendo Switch. It has industry-leading button and trigger reaction feel, with hall effect thumb-sticks, authentic, intuitive vibration, and customizable buttons and paddles that can be suited to your preferences.
Perhaps the biggest issues with this controller are its omission of a headphone jack, and the fact that it can have some clearance issues for phones with an especially large camera island. If these aren't going to be an issue for your needs, however, this small discount might just be the push you need to upgrade your mobile gaming setup.
