  • 00:00:00
    so there's going to be a lot to cover on
  • 00:00:01
    this video Let's quickly jump into
  • 00:00:03
    methodology what you'll see on screen
  • 00:00:06
    and what happens with the previous tier
  • 00:00:08
    list think of this video as a potential
  • 00:00:11
    buying guide if you're on the market for
  • 00:00:13
    a new telescopic controller or you just
  • 00:00:14
    like to get the general gist of where
  • 00:00:16
    the market is going that's going to be
  • 00:00:18
    the perfect video for that like any
  • 00:00:20
    Market it is always Dynamic new things
  • 00:00:22
    arrive things are no longer available
  • 00:00:25
    there's competition bringing out new
  • 00:00:27
    products why am I saying this a product
  • 00:00:29
    that got a certain
  • 00:00:30
    score before could see its score change
  • 00:00:33
    but I'll always explain the thought
  • 00:00:35
    process behind where and why that video
  • 00:00:37
    is still going to be available if there
  • 00:00:39
    are certain controllers you'd like to
  • 00:00:40
    see or you'd like to see what my opinion
  • 00:00:42
    was then it will be in the description
  • 00:00:44
    below on screen you're going to see five
  • 00:00:46
    different stats sticks d-pad ergonomics
  • 00:00:50
    feature and Value sticks is going to be
  • 00:00:52
    just the overall quality of your sticks
  • 00:00:54
    the tech behind the sticks that is being
  • 00:00:56
    used probably more for people playing
  • 00:00:58
    Shooters so Call of Duty mobile Call of
  • 00:01:00
    Duty war zone Star Wars Hunters like
  • 00:01:02
    these types of games d-pad is definitely
  • 00:01:04
    more for people that play a lot of
  • 00:01:06
    Fighters and for people that play a lot
  • 00:01:09
    of retro games there are many different
  • 00:01:11
    ways that a d-pad can be good the shape
  • 00:01:13
    is it good with diagonals does it create
  • 00:01:16
    thumb fatigue is it great for command
  • 00:01:18
    input my score takes many things into
  • 00:01:20
    consideration if you have any questions
  • 00:01:23
    the comment section is there for that
  • 00:01:24
    ergonomics is more for people that want
  • 00:01:27
    to know what is going to be the most
  • 00:01:29
    comfortable what holds the best what
  • 00:01:31
    feels the best and what is most likely
  • 00:01:33
    more capable to give you longer play
  • 00:01:35
    sessions because it just holds good and
  • 00:01:37
    it feels good in your hands the next one
  • 00:01:38
    is going to be featured that is also one
  • 00:01:41
    where I won't be able to elaborate but
  • 00:01:43
    some controllers will definitely do more
  • 00:01:45
    than others for example you have
  • 00:01:46
    controllers that while connected wired
  • 00:01:49
    will also give you a Bluetooth signal
  • 00:01:51
    which will provide you a much better
  • 00:01:53
    compatibility with the devices that
  • 00:01:54
    you'll use the controllers with but also
  • 00:01:56
    with other devices like a switch like a
  • 00:01:59
    PC and last but not least is value and
  • 00:02:01
    this is one that is probably very
  • 00:02:03
    important to elaborate the way that I
  • 00:02:05
    look at it is it's not because it's
  • 00:02:08
    super expensive that it is not value
  • 00:02:11
    ultimately it's all going to come down
  • 00:02:13
    to okay are you paying more for the best
  • 00:02:15
    does it do the most is it comfortable is
  • 00:02:17
    it future proof all these things go into
  • 00:02:20
    the value area what does this product do
  • 00:02:23
    to make sure that if you buy this one
  • 00:02:25
    you probably wouldn't need a second one
  • 00:02:27
    or at least if you have something that
  • 00:02:30
    is extremely coste efficient how much
  • 00:02:32
    does it allow you to do based off of the
  • 00:02:34
    price that it charges these are all
  • 00:02:36
    questions that I ask myself when I
  • 00:02:38
    consider value and then last but not
  • 00:02:40
    least while we will categorize all the
  • 00:02:42
    products into different tiers the order
  • 00:02:45
    and specific tier is not going to be
  • 00:02:48
    defined I realized because there are so
  • 00:02:50
    many different reasons to like a product
  • 00:02:52
    or dislike one that I figured that layer
  • 00:02:55
    needs to consider that we don't all have
  • 00:02:57
    the same needs that is why I will not
  • 00:02:59
    not classify within a tier I will just
  • 00:03:01
    position them in the order that I pick
  • 00:03:03
    them in the box but if you have
  • 00:03:05
    questions about which one I prefer
  • 00:03:07
    between model X and Y feel free to ask
  • 00:03:10
    I'll be happy to answer and I'll also
  • 00:03:12
    give you the reason why I'm a very
  • 00:03:14
    generous person in my comment sometimes
  • 00:03:16
    they they're very long I just like to
  • 00:03:18
    talk I just like to engage I just like
  • 00:03:20
    to give I'm a giver that's that's what I
  • 00:03:22
    do and the previous T list there were a
  • 00:03:24
    lot of controllers that we talked about
  • 00:03:26
    that I feel I don't need to talk about
  • 00:03:28
    again so I'll put the list on screen of
  • 00:03:31
    the products that will not be returning
  • 00:03:33
    again if you want to see opinions about
  • 00:03:36
    these specific controllers my previous
  • 00:03:38
    tier list will serve to talk about them
  • 00:03:40
    of course they will not consider them
  • 00:03:41
    with the current market the current
  • 00:03:43
    landscape but nonetheless you should get
  • 00:03:45
    some decent information there figured it
  • 00:03:47
    would be best to just keep them out of
  • 00:03:49
    the conversation because we've moved on
  • 00:03:52
    and we're ready to talk about new
  • 00:03:53
    products and there's going to be a lot
  • 00:03:55
    more controllers than in the previous
  • 00:03:56
    ster list I want to say about five or
  • 00:03:58
    six total in terms of the the number of
  • 00:04:01
    different models that will cover and
  • 00:04:02
    we'll start with two different products
  • 00:04:04
    that I do not have with me right now one
  • 00:04:07
    I returned it and the other one I
  • 00:04:09
    actually gave it for a giveaway so the
  • 00:04:11
    first product that I have in mind is the
  • 00:04:13
    Rog tessin from Asus I'm going to put it
  • 00:04:16
    as a b it has great sticks the sticks
  • 00:04:19
    are amazing on that controller the
  • 00:04:22
    buttons are nice they're nothing special
  • 00:04:25
    they're decent the problem with that
  • 00:04:27
    controller is the value proposition it
  • 00:04:30
    is one of the worst if not the worst
  • 00:04:34
    value proposition in the entire current
  • 00:04:36
    landscape of mobile telescopic
  • 00:04:39
    controllers and it's not so much that
  • 00:04:41
    the quality is not good it's not so much
  • 00:04:43
    that the components are bad it's just
  • 00:04:46
    you're asking too much for something
  • 00:04:48
    that does not deserve that kind of price
  • 00:04:50
    now of course Asus are free to prize
  • 00:04:52
    their products whatever way to see fit
  • 00:04:54
    but at the end of the day if you're
  • 00:04:56
    buying that product and paying the price
  • 00:04:58
    that they're asking you to pay you're
  • 00:05:00
    getting cheated because there are
  • 00:05:02
    considerably Superior Products on the
  • 00:05:04
    market for a drastically lower price
  • 00:05:09
    point I could make a restaurant and tell
  • 00:05:12
    you that my burger is $100 and it's
  • 00:05:16
    basically uh burger from those golden
  • 00:05:19
    arches but I add a fancy slice of cheese
  • 00:05:22
    rather than using the American is it
  • 00:05:24
    going to be better that is questionable
  • 00:05:26
    that is arguable but at the end of the
  • 00:05:29
    day pricing versus the market would make
  • 00:05:31
    zero sense that's the Asus Rog tested
  • 00:05:34
    but you know what is there is nice it
  • 00:05:37
    has this nice aspect where you can fold
  • 00:05:39
    it I would tell you just buy a case for
  • 00:05:41
    the one that doesn't fold but it still
  • 00:05:45
    does it it's cool it's a gamei the
  • 00:05:47
    software is nice I haven't seen it since
  • 00:05:50
    I know they were hoping to upgrade and
  • 00:05:52
    bring new features good thing if they
  • 00:05:54
    have my gripe with it is is not so much
  • 00:05:57
    the software side of things it's the
  • 00:05:59
    Hardware side of things it's a small
  • 00:06:02
    firm factor it's not necessarily the
  • 00:06:04
    greatest in terms of ergonomics and it
  • 00:06:07
    just it rapidly loses its reason for
  • 00:06:10
    existing due to the price point that it
  • 00:06:13
    is if you find it at a 50% sale and you
  • 00:06:16
    like the brand sure I I I think it's
  • 00:06:20
    already a little more justifiable but
  • 00:06:23
    even then it would still be a little
  • 00:06:25
    overpriced the next one that I no longer
  • 00:06:27
    have because I gave it for giveaway was
  • 00:06:29
    the X 2s Bluetooth from gamster and that
  • 00:06:32
    one I
  • 00:06:34
    will put it as a c
  • 00:06:37
    now that one might be like what when I
  • 00:06:40
    had it in my hands the Bluetooth
  • 00:06:42
    performance was okay nothing to write
  • 00:06:45
    home about it is a great controller
  • 00:06:48
    overall the controls feel good they are
  • 00:06:51
    reliable so it's not so much the product
  • 00:06:53
    do anything wrong it's just that while
  • 00:06:56
    there are Bluetooth products that will
  • 00:06:58
    provide you tremend tremendously good
  • 00:07:00
    connectivity I found that it was not the
  • 00:07:02
    case with the x2s Bluetooth it's not
  • 00:07:05
    like it was unplayable it just wasn't
  • 00:07:08
    anything special the pulling rate when I
  • 00:07:10
    benched it was not great while I think
  • 00:07:13
    the brand is probably one of the most
  • 00:07:15
    important one in the controller Market
  • 00:07:17
    all types of controllers combined I do
  • 00:07:20
    think that one of their weaker offering
  • 00:07:22
    in recent times is definitely the x2s
  • 00:07:25
    Bluetooth in my mind it is in no
  • 00:07:28
    capacity and and game controller yes
  • 00:07:31
    everything that is there is fine it's
  • 00:07:33
    decent but the way that I see it you buy
  • 00:07:37
    that controller you're going to want a
  • 00:07:39
    new one shortly after that's kind of how
  • 00:07:42
    I feel it looks gorgeous the color sky I
  • 00:07:44
    almost bought a new one just because I
  • 00:07:46
    love the color scheme so if you like to
  • 00:07:47
    collect them or if you like to have a
  • 00:07:49
    nice option that is not your endgame not
  • 00:07:52
    your main option on the night table next
  • 00:07:54
    to your bed kind of thing then yeah I I
  • 00:07:57
    think it warrants the purchase I would
  • 00:07:59
    think that this is something that
  • 00:08:00
    deserves to be paid less especially
  • 00:08:04
    because right now you have on the market
  • 00:08:06
    a lot of options that do cost less and
  • 00:08:09
    provide an as good if not better
  • 00:08:11
    experience all right so now let's start
  • 00:08:13
    with the ones that I physically have
  • 00:08:15
    with me that's going to be easier for
  • 00:08:16
    the editing y ooh we're starting strong
  • 00:08:20
    we're starting really really strong
  • 00:08:22
    absolute S9 now this is an engineering
  • 00:08:24
    unit they were on their Kickstarter you
  • 00:08:26
    can still get it in demand by the way so
  • 00:08:28
    if you see this video and you will be
  • 00:08:30
    interested in picking one up after this
  • 00:08:33
    hurry up get the link in my description
  • 00:08:35
    and pick one up on Kickstarter because
  • 00:08:37
    you're going to pay less than if you
  • 00:08:39
    were to purchase at a retail price which
  • 00:08:40
    should be happening very shortly that
  • 00:08:43
    controller is definitely an easily s i
  • 00:08:47
    could best describe this as the Swiss
  • 00:08:49
    army knife it has a phenomenal d-pad
  • 00:08:53
    solution probably one of the best
  • 00:08:55
    everything is really welld designed on
  • 00:08:57
    this controller there is by far very
  • 00:09:00
    very very few products that can compete
  • 00:09:03
    with everything that you get with the
  • 00:09:05
    absolute S9 and I have I think three or
  • 00:09:08
    four videos covering this conver this
  • 00:09:10
    controller in some capacity because it
  • 00:09:12
    is worth the time to talk about it and
  • 00:09:15
    it is definitely worth your money to
  • 00:09:17
    invest in you can't go wrong with this
  • 00:09:19
    it can be modded for tablets it has Xbox
  • 00:09:22
    PlayStation switch Android hid mode both
  • 00:09:26
    wired and Bluetooth it has an AB that is
  • 00:09:28
    phen
  • 00:09:30
    I don't even want to talk too much about
  • 00:09:31
    it because I have a lot of videos
  • 00:09:33
    talking about it and I could go on for
  • 00:09:35
    easily five minutes just in that video
  • 00:09:38
    alone take it from me this is definitely
  • 00:09:42
    one of your better options and if you
  • 00:09:43
    got to pick only one out of the entire
  • 00:09:46
    list that we're going to talk about
  • 00:09:47
    today that would be a strong strong
  • 00:09:50
    strong Contender to be the one that I
  • 00:09:52
    would recommend the easy SMX M10 I'm
  • 00:09:56
    going to put it as a b yeah I'm going to
  • 00:10:00
    put it as a b and the thing is when
  • 00:10:02
    thinking of this controller again I
  • 00:10:04
    think a lot of what I said at the very
  • 00:10:06
    beginning which is that it is a dynamic
  • 00:10:08
    Market it changes it evolves that's the
  • 00:10:11
    part where it becomes tough because it
  • 00:10:13
    is great on pretty much every front
  • 00:10:16
    there's a lot of controllers that do
  • 00:10:17
    more but it's by no means a bad one but
  • 00:10:20
    the reality is it's not so much that
  • 00:10:22
    it's bad it's that everything else is
  • 00:10:24
    getting better you have hall effect
  • 00:10:26
    sticks which is something that a lot of
  • 00:10:27
    people like they have very good feeling
  • 00:10:30
    they have great tension like there's
  • 00:10:32
    really nothing wrong with this
  • 00:10:34
    controller again the main thing is that
  • 00:10:36
    there is just better on the market it
  • 00:10:37
    doesn't have a Bluetooth mode mind you
  • 00:10:39
    so games like Call of Duty mobile if
  • 00:10:42
    you're on Android you're not going to be
  • 00:10:43
    able to play with that but for pretty
  • 00:10:45
    much everything else you will and if I
  • 00:10:47
    recall this is spoofed as an Xbox
  • 00:10:50
    controller so you will also not be able
  • 00:10:52
    to play native PS remote play with this
  • 00:10:55
    one overall it's a good small form
  • 00:10:58
    factor pocketable solution I just think
  • 00:11:02
    when especially when looking at that
  • 00:11:03
    market we're starting to see new
  • 00:11:05
    products coming out and this one is just
  • 00:11:08
    it's getting surpassed by now if you
  • 00:11:09
    were to see this for 20
  • 00:11:12
    USD yeah that would be a good deal
  • 00:11:14
    honestly I I still think that it's being
  • 00:11:17
    surpassed it's no longer as relevant the
  • 00:11:22
    gamer X2 Pro uh that one in my opinion
  • 00:11:26
    is also a c um the form factor of the
  • 00:11:29
    x2s is one that when done right it has
  • 00:11:33
    shown me that it can be appreciated more
  • 00:11:36
    than I originally thought and it has you
  • 00:11:38
    know those nice back paddles and the
  • 00:11:40
    back it's not so much that it is a back
  • 00:11:42
    controller it's the exact same thing as
  • 00:11:44
    what we just talked about it's just
  • 00:11:46
    being surpassed at this point in time
  • 00:11:48
    and gamer I've noticed something every
  • 00:11:52
    time they come out with a new product
  • 00:11:54
    they improve their software but they
  • 00:11:56
    don't seem to go behind and and update
  • 00:12:00
    the previous controllers that doesn't
  • 00:12:02
    mean that it has all the hardware to do
  • 00:12:04
    everything that those later controllers
  • 00:12:05
    do there is a a wide enough gap of time
  • 00:12:09
    to make it so that you are actually very
  • 00:12:12
    far from what the full Gamester
  • 00:12:14
    experience is nowadays when going for
  • 00:12:17
    this controller overall it's a great
  • 00:12:20
    solution just one that again is heavily
  • 00:12:22
    surpassed with the current market that
  • 00:12:24
    is despite having very a lot of things
  • 00:12:27
    that we expect from gamster I don't find
  • 00:12:29
    the d-pad to be exceptional but there's
  • 00:12:31
    a lot of things that can be appreciated
  • 00:12:33
    with this product at the price point
  • 00:12:35
    that it is that's another thing it
  • 00:12:37
    wouldn't make sense to buy this today I
  • 00:12:39
    think a lot of people might still buy it
  • 00:12:41
    just because it is licensed by Microsoft
  • 00:12:44
    and they are in the Xbox ecosystem so
  • 00:12:47
    they don't think twice they think okay
  • 00:12:49
    that's the one I need to get cuz it's
  • 00:12:51
    going to work with xcloud every
  • 00:12:53
    controller is going to work with xcloud
  • 00:12:55
    if for some reason there's a
  • 00:12:56
    compatibility change over time just get
  • 00:12:58
    better xcloud it is literally in the
  • 00:13:01
    name better xcloud and you're going to
  • 00:13:03
    fix the issue going for this product
  • 00:13:06
    because it is licensed honestly makes
  • 00:13:09
    you pay more at least in this case not
  • 00:13:11
    every case but in this case it makes you
  • 00:13:13
    pay more for less there's no reason to
  • 00:13:15
    go for this one anymore so I will rate
  • 00:13:17
    it as a c man gamster gamster wants me
  • 00:13:20
    to talk about them the x2s I think it
  • 00:13:24
    still stands to be a b because this one
  • 00:13:27
    is not licensed it is very very common
  • 00:13:29
    that you will find it for less than what
  • 00:13:31
    we just talked about but literally this
  • 00:13:34
    is a better product the one difference
  • 00:13:36
    is it doesn't have those extra Tu
  • 00:13:37
    buttons which I prefer to have them but
  • 00:13:40
    ultimately everything you get for not
  • 00:13:43
    having them is more than worth the
  • 00:13:46
    sacrifice you have multiple modes on
  • 00:13:48
    this controller you have better software
  • 00:13:51
    support although that won't work on iOS
  • 00:13:53
    when it comes to software you have
  • 00:13:55
    better sticks overall you also have the
  • 00:13:58
    USBC connector to the left so if you
  • 00:14:00
    want to play with a folding phone that
  • 00:14:02
    is one of the better controllers to play
  • 00:14:04
    with a folding phone because the larger
  • 00:14:05
    portion of your phone is going to be
  • 00:14:07
    over the controller and not under like
  • 00:14:09
    it is with most telescopic controllers
  • 00:14:12
    you can also easily stretch it for
  • 00:14:14
    something wider so you know this one
  • 00:14:16
    does get loose so you probably don't
  • 00:14:18
    want to put your 13-in iPad like I have
  • 00:14:20
    done so I mean it's going to work just
  • 00:14:22
    fine has analog triggers it doesn't have
  • 00:14:25
    a great d-pad gamer and d-pads is uh
  • 00:14:29
    they they don't work for me most of the
  • 00:14:30
    time it's probably oh and by the way
  • 00:14:32
    this one spoofs as a PlayStation
  • 00:14:34
    controller so you will have support for
  • 00:14:37
    Native remot Play app however you're not
  • 00:14:41
    going to get Call of Duty mobile because
  • 00:14:42
    it doesn't support Bluetooth it's
  • 00:14:44
    rapidly becoming a a product that I
  • 00:14:46
    would consider as Legacy which is crazy
  • 00:14:49
    because I think it's been out for about
  • 00:14:51
    a year now this Market is moving so fast
  • 00:14:53
    guys like it's crazy how quick it's been
  • 00:14:56
    moving in the past few months yeah this
  • 00:14:59
    is close to what I would consider to be
  • 00:15:01
    Legacy so I wouldn't necessarily
  • 00:15:03
    recommend going out of your way to buy
  • 00:15:05
    it oh the bsp I believe that is the d10s
  • 00:15:09
    I never remember so the one difference
  • 00:15:11
    with the d10 and d10s is this right here
  • 00:15:14
    one has the cooling aspect the other
  • 00:15:17
    doesn't now the bsps are extremely
  • 00:15:21
    shockingly impressive controllers I
  • 00:15:23
    would put
  • 00:15:26
    this as an a I I'm going to put this as
  • 00:15:29
    an a I'm realizing more and more that
  • 00:15:31
    having a cooler is important for many of
  • 00:15:33
    you out there this one you have it and
  • 00:15:35
    for really not expensive and you get the
  • 00:15:37
    full form factor experience like that
  • 00:15:40
    great ergonomic now this is not a
  • 00:15:41
    perfect controller by any means it is
  • 00:15:43
    Bluetooth you have all the modes you
  • 00:15:45
    could imagine so Xbox PlayStation
  • 00:15:48
    Nintendo switch mode Android hid and it
  • 00:15:51
    stretches a lot so you will probably be
  • 00:15:54
    able to use small firm Factor tablets as
  • 00:15:57
    well these controllers will get you
  • 00:15:59
    extremely far it's shocking the quality
  • 00:16:01
    of the sticks and the overall quality of
  • 00:16:03
    the feel like you can tell that you're
  • 00:16:05
    buying into something that has an
  • 00:16:07
    incredible value but they have to make
  • 00:16:10
    concessions to reach that Value Point
  • 00:16:12
    and when you hold it to me you kind of
  • 00:16:15
    understand the quality of the plastic
  • 00:16:17
    it's not on par with some of the other
  • 00:16:18
    options on the market but to me that is
  • 00:16:20
    a great solution if you want a second a
  • 00:16:23
    third because you want something with
  • 00:16:24
    the cooler to see if it makes a
  • 00:16:26
    difference for you in your gaming you
  • 00:16:28
    want something to keep on the night
  • 00:16:29
    table you want something that you like
  • 00:16:31
    to leave a few around the house cuz you
  • 00:16:33
    don't like to bring them all around and
  • 00:16:34
    then you forget where you leave them and
  • 00:16:36
    it's going to get you far that's the one
  • 00:16:38
    thing that with these controllers I keep
  • 00:16:40
    being so shocked at how far they'll get
  • 00:16:42
    you and this is no exception here the
  • 00:16:45
    d-pad is also quite decent the buttons I
  • 00:16:47
    mean shoulders are a little noisy but
  • 00:16:50
    not the end of the world you have analog
  • 00:16:51
    triggers and you also have Rumble I
  • 00:16:53
    forgot to mention you have Rumble in
  • 00:16:55
    these ones as well and it's we're
  • 00:16:57
    talking about the Rumble that supports
  • 00:16:59
    the new API so you won't run into
  • 00:17:01
    compatibility issues if the device and
  • 00:17:04
    the game that you're playing has Rumble
  • 00:17:06
    it's going to rumble it rumbles on the
  • 00:17:08
    switch it even has gyro feature like of
  • 00:17:11
    the wazu it's so complete definitely
  • 00:17:14
    definitely an a easily oh the very famed
  • 00:17:18
    Galileo G8 so this is going to be
  • 00:17:21
    shocking to probably a lot of you I
  • 00:17:24
    don't consider this to be an S anymore
  • 00:17:27
    in fact I'm going to go a but it's it's
  • 00:17:29
    very it's getting dangerously close to
  • 00:17:31
    being a bee now the ergonomics
  • 00:17:34
    phenomenal the Galileo line from gamster
  • 00:17:37
    is completely taking the World by storm
  • 00:17:40
    I said it then I say it now it continues
  • 00:17:42
    to do so for many reasons that are
  • 00:17:45
    completely valuable doesn't have
  • 00:17:47
    Bluetooth uh it doesn't have Rumble
  • 00:17:49
    doesn't have gyro this is a controller
  • 00:17:52
    that is rapidly getting surpassed and
  • 00:17:55
    the grand scheme of things it's still an
  • 00:17:57
    extremely relevant event controller by
  • 00:18:00
    today's standard and there are people
  • 00:18:02
    that will not be interested in going
  • 00:18:03
    Bluetooth the truth is the fact that the
  • 00:18:06
    absolute S9
  • 00:18:08
    exists again I I'm still debating do I
  • 00:18:11
    go
  • 00:18:14
    B no I can't go B it's so close to being
  • 00:18:17
    a b the Galileo G8 I mean there's a lot
  • 00:18:19
    of videos out there I have two videos
  • 00:18:21
    talking about it at least it was also
  • 00:18:23
    featured in my previous tier list great
  • 00:18:25
    controller slowly starting to get uh
  • 00:18:28
    less and less relevant but Gamester is
  • 00:18:31
    keeping it alive by having those color
  • 00:18:33
    scheme which honestly I welcome I like
  • 00:18:35
    the fact that there's color scheme I
  • 00:18:37
    think that's great so there you have it
  • 00:18:39
    the G8 the backbone one this is a c
  • 00:18:43
    easily and that is a perfect example of
  • 00:18:46
    a controller that is victim to what the
  • 00:18:49
    market is and it frustrates me that
  • 00:18:52
    backbone hasn't uh released a new model
  • 00:18:55
    and apparently it's happening I got some
  • 00:18:56
    Insider information which respect f for
  • 00:18:59
    the brand I will not be sharing there's
  • 00:19:01
    something in the works that I know for
  • 00:19:02
    sure the question is when but the
  • 00:19:05
    reality is the backbone is by no
  • 00:19:08
    standard a great controller in the
  • 00:19:10
    current market it was when that released
  • 00:19:13
    if I was making videos then and I would
  • 00:19:15
    have made a tier list that would have
  • 00:19:16
    been an S but not anymore this is a c
  • 00:19:19
    now for sure it's so expensive and the
  • 00:19:23
    quality of the components are not bad
  • 00:19:25
    I'll give him that the software is
  • 00:19:27
    decent but the price proposition is
  • 00:19:30
    absurd it is absurd completely did I say
  • 00:19:34
    absurd it is and it's a small form
  • 00:19:37
    factor the sticks are not great that
  • 00:19:40
    that controller is
  • 00:19:41
    surpassed I understand why people are
  • 00:19:43
    still buying it I hope they're done
  • 00:19:46
    doing that you know recoloring scheme
  • 00:19:48
    and trying to get people to spend for
  • 00:19:50
    The Limited Editions because the reality
  • 00:19:53
    is you are best to avoid that controller
  • 00:19:57
    chances are you have it and you don't
  • 00:19:59
    use it anymore a lot of people are
  • 00:20:00
    telling me constantly in the comments oh
  • 00:20:02
    backbone man I totally get why you don't
  • 00:20:05
    have to convince me it's not great
  • 00:20:09
    nowadays in fact that might be the last
  • 00:20:11
    time I talk about this controller
  • 00:20:13
    because I there's nothing else for me to
  • 00:20:15
    say about this I
  • 00:20:17
    I yeah it's it it pains me to say
  • 00:20:20
    because they have been such a pivotal
  • 00:20:24
    point for the telescopic mobile
  • 00:20:27
    controller Market but but either they
  • 00:20:29
    are scared of what the competition is
  • 00:20:33
    doing right now either they are really
  • 00:20:35
    taking their sweet sweet sweet time to
  • 00:20:37
    release a phenomenal product and I hope
  • 00:20:39
    it's the latter because I want to see
  • 00:20:41
    them succeed I don't have anything
  • 00:20:43
    against the brand if they bring out a
  • 00:20:45
    great product and you know the value
  • 00:20:47
    proposition and the quality is is good
  • 00:20:49
    and I don't mind paying a little bit
  • 00:20:50
    more because they they put their name
  • 00:20:52
    out there they made a name for
  • 00:20:54
    themselves that's okay you've gained
  • 00:20:56
    that notor and you want to use it no
  • 00:20:58
    problems there but they really need to
  • 00:21:00
    be putting out something like it's it's
  • 00:21:02
    to me they're becoming the laughing
  • 00:21:04
    stock and yeah a lot of people don't see
  • 00:21:06
    that cuz a lot of people don't care they
  • 00:21:07
    just get in the market get what they
  • 00:21:09
    need and these are perfect at pumping
  • 00:21:11
    marketing they're really good at that so
  • 00:21:13
    they're going to buy that they're not
  • 00:21:14
    going to think twice they're going to be
  • 00:21:15
    like oh yeah it's a great controller but
  • 00:21:17
    the reality is not anyone that knows a
  • 00:21:19
    little bit about this Market knows that
  • 00:21:21
    backbone is now a laughing stock and I
  • 00:21:24
    get that you might be sentimental about
  • 00:21:26
    it because you paid the price and you're
  • 00:21:27
    like man no that's not they're not the
  • 00:21:29
    laughing stock at all but I assure you
  • 00:21:31
    if if that's what you think and I don't
  • 00:21:34
    mean to insult viewers you are putting
  • 00:21:36
    emotions on the prize that you spent but
  • 00:21:39
    from an objective point of view this is
  • 00:21:43
    not a great proposition not anymore the
  • 00:21:48
    easy SMX M5 I think I put it as an S
  • 00:21:51
    before I'm going to put it as an a now
  • 00:21:54
    I'm tempted to leave it as an S if I'm
  • 00:21:56
    being honest like you have the back
  • 00:21:58
    paddle you have analog triggers it feels
  • 00:22:01
    really really good you have a nice
  • 00:22:03
    protruding USBC so very compatible with
  • 00:22:06
    cases as well you have Bluetooth you
  • 00:22:08
    have multiple modes it's extremely rich
  • 00:22:11
    and you also have an amazing software to
  • 00:22:13
    pair it with there's really very little
  • 00:22:16
    wrong with this controller the d-pad is
  • 00:22:18
    actually decent yeah I'm going to put it
  • 00:22:20
    in a now because the market is so
  • 00:22:21
    aggressive but it's it's almost to the
  • 00:22:25
    point that it's an S it's getting
  • 00:22:26
    knocked just by one but not by a full
  • 00:22:29
    point if I'm being honest it's still by
  • 00:22:31
    today's standard a great proposition the
  • 00:22:34
    price that I often see it as is great
  • 00:22:36
    you can't really go wrong you're going
  • 00:22:38
    to have the full compatibility when
  • 00:22:41
    talking about phones but you can't mod
  • 00:22:44
    it so in terms of features um there are
  • 00:22:46
    a few options that do better nowadays it
  • 00:22:48
    doesn't have switch support now of
  • 00:22:49
    course most people would be like well
  • 00:22:51
    why would I even want switch support the
  • 00:22:54
    reality is that if you put a battery
  • 00:22:56
    Bank in the middle you can actually
  • 00:22:58
    power actually Let Me Show You by
  • 00:23:00
    putting a battery Bank like
  • 00:23:04
    this effectively that gives you a
  • 00:23:07
    Bluetooth controller and because it
  • 00:23:08
    supports Bluetooth it could work for
  • 00:23:11
    switch but I'm pretty sure it doesn't
  • 00:23:12
    have a switch mode which I don't really
  • 00:23:15
    take a whole lot off of it but when you
  • 00:23:18
    start considering that there are options
  • 00:23:20
    that even give you coolers cooler and
  • 00:23:22
    things like that that can be modded or
  • 00:23:25
    that can be a little more ergonomic for
  • 00:23:27
    a similar form of factor it's starting
  • 00:23:29
    to get knocked down a little bit it's so
  • 00:23:31
    close to being an s still I'm going to
  • 00:23:33
    leave it as an a the easy SMX mo5 I just
  • 00:23:36
    reviewed that one the
  • 00:23:38
    gk2 and I don't know what it is with
  • 00:23:41
    this controller every time I grab it and
  • 00:23:44
    I play with it I love it a little more
  • 00:23:48
    it's shocking I'm going to put it as an
  • 00:23:50
    a while I don't feel like this
  • 00:23:52
    controller could be an s that is a
  • 00:23:55
    controller that effectively Knocks the5
  • 00:23:58
    by a division and I said it in my review
  • 00:24:01
    and I'm going to say it again here I was
  • 00:24:02
    so ready to hate this thing not that I
  • 00:24:04
    just want to hate to Hate but I thought
  • 00:24:07
    it was going to be cheap and don't get
  • 00:24:09
    me wrong it is but not to a degree that
  • 00:24:12
    it's unacceptable and it has a cooler
  • 00:24:15
    the fact that it's Bluetooth make it so
  • 00:24:17
    versatile you can use it with the switch
  • 00:24:19
    it has extra paddles you have software
  • 00:24:22
    support I mean I'm like I got to give
  • 00:24:24
    that product credit I mean it does a lot
  • 00:24:27
    considering the price point and I know a
  • 00:24:30
    lot of people are going to be like what
  • 00:24:31
    but the fact that it doesn't have hall
  • 00:24:34
    effect sticks caught me off guard
  • 00:24:36
    because literally when I review this
  • 00:24:37
    controller and yes it has a very
  • 00:24:39
    aggressive curve in the inner Dead Zone
  • 00:24:41
    but I was like oh yeah know it's that's
  • 00:24:44
    got to be hall effect cuz it it moves so
  • 00:24:46
    fast and this is something that is very
  • 00:24:48
    common with hall effect the high uh
  • 00:24:50
    Sensi sensitivity and the sensor just
  • 00:24:53
    kind of pushing forward than you would
  • 00:24:55
    expect in the moment the more I play
  • 00:24:56
    with it the more I was like oh wait no
  • 00:24:58
    it's just that it has an aggressive
  • 00:25:00
    curve but it's extremely consistent and
  • 00:25:02
    and that's the thing when your stick is
  • 00:25:05
    consistent and you do what I do for a
  • 00:25:07
    living you quickly get adjusted because
  • 00:25:10
    that's that's what I do I test
  • 00:25:12
    controllers all day so for me to pick it
  • 00:25:14
    up and be like oh yeah now and then
  • 00:25:17
    within 5 minutes be adjusted and feel
  • 00:25:20
    that my aim is already doing a lot
  • 00:25:22
    better during my video I didn't express
  • 00:25:24
    it but during my video I was like no
  • 00:25:26
    there's no way this is all effect and
  • 00:25:28
    when I went to look at the specs
  • 00:25:30
    effectively it isn't and that actually
  • 00:25:32
    is a benefit and we have to keep in mind
  • 00:25:34
    and yes I get it all stick Drift But
  • 00:25:37
    guys you can get that for 20 USD 20 USD
  • 00:25:41
    I mean that's like what one two combos
  • 00:25:43
    at McDonald's it's crazy so do I care
  • 00:25:46
    about stick drift if it drifts in a year
  • 00:25:48
    not at all not even a little bit I do
  • 00:25:50
    not care at all and it doesn't have the
  • 00:25:52
    greatest Bluetooth performance it is
  • 00:25:54
    kind of similar to what you I was
  • 00:25:56
    talking about with the x2s Bluetooth
  • 00:25:58
    with that said I do find that that one
  • 00:26:01
    gives me a better feel in terms of
  • 00:26:03
    latency now pulling rate is not latency
  • 00:26:06
    as we know so I find that this one gives
  • 00:26:08
    me a slightly better result and then you
  • 00:26:10
    have the benefit of having a cooler and
  • 00:26:12
    since I reviewed I'm getting completely
  • 00:26:13
    off track but since I reviewed the viter
  • 00:26:16
    pro XR glasses it completely expanded
  • 00:26:21
    the way that I consume my gaming because
  • 00:26:23
    of those glasses and that made me
  • 00:26:26
    realize how important Bluetooth
  • 00:26:29
    controllers are especially telescopic
  • 00:26:32
    controllers because you have the ability
  • 00:26:34
    to put in your phone and just as fast
  • 00:26:36
    remove it put in your glasses sit your
  • 00:26:39
    phone and use that as your controller
  • 00:26:42
    and that is something that you just
  • 00:26:44
    cannot achieve with a wired solution
  • 00:26:46
    that this can do now the other thing is
  • 00:26:50
    because it is Bluetooth it will Liberate
  • 00:26:53
    the port from your phone yeah this is an
  • 00:26:55
    a I I'm sorry I'm I'm I'm harping on
  • 00:26:57
    this procu product because every time I
  • 00:27:00
    pick it up I swear every time I pick it
  • 00:27:01
    up I'm like oh wow it has this nice
  • 00:27:03
    nostalgic feel it's not perfect but it
  • 00:27:06
    does a lot for 20usd oh my Lord yeah
  • 00:27:10
    definitely the gk2 is a great solution
  • 00:27:13
    one that I'm I'm still coming to love um
  • 00:27:18
    more and more every time I pick it up so
  • 00:27:21
    there it is I said the GK the JK I'm
  • 00:27:23
    sorry the JK O2 that's because I'm
  • 00:27:26
    French or G and J sound is different
  • 00:27:29
    it's the opposite in French the bsp d8
  • 00:27:33
    pro
  • 00:27:35
    um man that one's
  • 00:27:38
    hard yeah I'm I'm going to put it as an
  • 00:27:40
    S so I think this is one of the few
  • 00:27:43
    possibly The Only Exception where I'm
  • 00:27:45
    pretty sure I just knocked it up a rank
  • 00:27:47
    versus my previous tier list you have a
  • 00:27:50
    controller that was priced so
  • 00:27:52
    aggressively and so rich in features
  • 00:27:55
    that we're having new products come out
  • 00:27:57
    on the market and it shines an even more
  • 00:27:59
    positive light on this product and this
  • 00:28:01
    is that controller the bsp d8 pro has
  • 00:28:05
    very good ergonomics it has that
  • 00:28:08
    signature super duper feature Rich bsp
  • 00:28:11
    that we have come to appreciate it has a
  • 00:28:14
    PlayStation layout in terms of the face
  • 00:28:16
    buttons although you also see the Xbox
  • 00:28:18
    one but it's something that is rare you
  • 00:28:20
    have some nice RGB when you power it you
  • 00:28:22
    have a very nice d-pad one of the better
  • 00:28:24
    ones you have uh extra buttons and then
  • 00:28:27
    you have some so many different modes
  • 00:28:29
    and look how far the stretches out of
  • 00:28:32
    the entire landscape of telescopic
  • 00:28:35
    controllers right now this is the one
  • 00:28:37
    that stretches the widest without any
  • 00:28:39
    modding
  • 00:28:40
    whatsoever so your compatibility with
  • 00:28:43
    devices is through the roof it supports
  • 00:28:46
    Nintendo switch it has gyro it has
  • 00:28:48
    Rumble not the best Rumble and see
  • 00:28:50
    that's the thing it's like the one the
  • 00:28:52
    other one that I talked about the the
  • 00:28:53
    d10 or d10s also when you hold it you
  • 00:28:57
    can tell that the the quality is not on
  • 00:29:00
    par with something like a Galileo or
  • 00:29:02
    something like a Kishi Ultra or an
  • 00:29:04
    absolute S9 but as long as it works
  • 00:29:08
    sometimes that's all you need that's
  • 00:29:09
    going to work everywhere and that's
  • 00:29:11
    going to allow you to do everything all
  • 00:29:12
    while retaining that Bluetooth aspect
  • 00:29:14
    that I talked about just a second ago it
  • 00:29:17
    it enables you to utilize your phones
  • 00:29:19
    and tablets and Nintendo switch in a way
  • 00:29:21
    that you wouldn't be able otherwise it's
  • 00:29:24
    an S it's got to be an S it's just so
  • 00:29:27
    good much like the jk2 that I just
  • 00:29:29
    picked up that's one controller that the
  • 00:29:31
    more I I use it and it keeps working and
  • 00:29:34
    it keeps being reliable the more I can't
  • 00:29:36
    help but think they really they really
  • 00:29:39
    achieved something impressive with this
  • 00:29:41
    one so definitely an S talking about the
  • 00:29:45
    Beast the Kishi Ultra and this one is
  • 00:29:48
    going to be a b yes very good amazingly
  • 00:29:53
    good stupid value makes no sense
  • 00:29:57
    absolutely absurd
  • 00:29:58
    and to this day you will still have
  • 00:30:00
    issues with rumble on iOS honestly
  • 00:30:03
    there's nothing wrong with this
  • 00:30:04
    controller you might have issues when
  • 00:30:06
    using Android because it doesn't have
  • 00:30:09
    Bluetooth you know it doesn't have gyro
  • 00:30:11
    it does have Rumble the rumble
  • 00:30:13
    definitely works better on Android than
  • 00:30:14
    it does on iOS it has very nice software
  • 00:30:17
    there's really nothing wrong with this
  • 00:30:18
    controller but again it's all about
  • 00:30:20
    having a market that is dynamic and it's
  • 00:30:23
    changing too fast whereas when it came
  • 00:30:25
    out it definitely was an S and it could
  • 00:30:28
    still be close to being one because of
  • 00:30:30
    the quality of the controller overall
  • 00:30:33
    but again anyone that knows the market
  • 00:30:35
    knows that this is easy to put this one
  • 00:30:37
    to shame because the asking price is
  • 00:30:39
    completely out of this world now the
  • 00:30:41
    good news is doesn't matter what I say
  • 00:30:43
    it's razor people are going to buy razor
  • 00:30:45
    they don't care for who I am I'm just a
  • 00:30:47
    small pebble I'm a I'm a drop in the
  • 00:30:50
    ocean when it comes to the reach that
  • 00:30:53
    this controller has so it's going to
  • 00:30:54
    sell regardless but if for some reason
  • 00:30:57
    you're watching this video and you're on
  • 00:30:58
    the fence about this one let me tell you
  • 00:31:00
    this it is by no means a bad controller
  • 00:31:03
    I'm not trying to say oh yeah it's not
  • 00:31:04
    good yeah no no it's actually quite good
  • 00:31:06
    not at all worth the price maybe at 50%
  • 00:31:10
    off maybe but in a world where an
  • 00:31:13
    absolute S9 a Galileo G8 a Galileo G8 s+
  • 00:31:17
    uh easy SMX M15
  • 00:31:19
    exists please don't buy this please like
  • 00:31:23
    no not good for $150 at least the bsp D9
  • 00:31:28
    I'm going to put that one at B it has a
  • 00:31:30
    lot of the features that you find on the
  • 00:31:33
    bsp d10 and d10s it has Rumble it
  • 00:31:36
    doesn't that one I believe does not have
  • 00:31:38
    gyro the d-pad is me the buttons they
  • 00:31:42
    feel worse on this one for some reason
  • 00:31:44
    the analog are symmetrical if it's
  • 00:31:46
    important for you it's probably going to
  • 00:31:48
    be one of the better options because
  • 00:31:49
    it's one of the very few on the
  • 00:31:51
    telescopic Market that will give you
  • 00:31:53
    that symmetrical shape it does feel like
  • 00:31:55
    a PlayStation controller like a
  • 00:31:56
    PlayStation portal does stretch quite
  • 00:31:59
    wide like the other ones that I showed
  • 00:32:00
    you it's definitely a b that would be
  • 00:32:02
    closer to an a with this one but still I
  • 00:32:04
    think a b makes it more relevant because
  • 00:32:07
    it's not necessarily that much cheaper
  • 00:32:09
    than the other ones that you saw you're
  • 00:32:11
    kind of going with this one because you
  • 00:32:12
    want a specific aesthetic or you want a
  • 00:32:15
    specific ergonomic which is probably the
  • 00:32:17
    best out of the three when it comes to
  • 00:32:19
    ergonomics but it doesn't it the other
  • 00:32:21
    two are not so bad in ergonomics that it
  • 00:32:24
    puts that one that far ahead for what it
  • 00:32:27
    has over the other ones it loses a lot
  • 00:32:29
    as well you know you don't have the
  • 00:32:30
    cooler it doesn't stretch as wide the
  • 00:32:33
    buns are not as quality a controller
  • 00:32:35
    that I'm very happy to own and that I
  • 00:32:37
    still use from time to time I still
  • 00:32:39
    think it's extremely relevant I also
  • 00:32:42
    think that the market is rapidly making
  • 00:32:44
    it so that this one is not irrelevant
  • 00:32:47
    it's not getting close to Legacy but
  • 00:32:49
    it's getting niched that's the that's
  • 00:32:51
    the issue with this one a lot of what
  • 00:32:54
    makes it great is the fact that it gives
  • 00:32:56
    an option to a niche sub set of
  • 00:32:58
    potential buyers because they want that
  • 00:33:01
    layout that's probably the strongest
  • 00:33:03
    aspect to to it and I don't think it's
  • 00:33:06
    an aspect that should affect the score
  • 00:33:08
    as much as some other things that this
  • 00:33:10
    one doesn't do as well but in terms of
  • 00:33:12
    compatibility it's really good there's a
  • 00:33:14
    lot that you can achieve with it you can
  • 00:33:16
    play with the switch you have Rumble you
  • 00:33:17
    know so you're not missing out much the
  • 00:33:20
    X3 Pro I'm going to oh that one is hard
  • 00:33:28
    oh man that one is hard I'm going to put
  • 00:33:31
    that one as an a man that's hard I I was
  • 00:33:35
    extremely hesitant I it's very close to
  • 00:33:38
    being a be and I just discovered
  • 00:33:40
    something I didn't realize was a thing
  • 00:33:42
    before we talk about this
  • 00:33:44
    controller there's something I realized
  • 00:33:46
    with gamer specifically Gamester
  • 00:33:48
    products a lot of the recent models have
  • 00:33:51
    a hidden mode and that hidden mode is
  • 00:33:54
    either the capture button with the left
  • 00:33:56
    most face button or the cap the home
  • 00:33:59
    button with the leftmost phas button and
  • 00:34:01
    I didn't talk about I did two videos
  • 00:34:03
    about this this controller and I didn't
  • 00:34:05
    talk about it because before now I
  • 00:34:07
    didn't realize that was a thing and it
  • 00:34:09
    has the hidden Xbox mode the Galileo G8
  • 00:34:13
    plus has the hidden Xbox mode some of
  • 00:34:16
    their wireless controllers the tarantula
  • 00:34:18
    has the hidden Xbox modes the I'm pretty
  • 00:34:21
    sure the x2s Bluetooth has it as well
  • 00:34:24
    the X4 Aeron a lot of these controls ERS
  • 00:34:28
    they now use a Bluetooth antenna to
  • 00:34:30
    update your software on the Gamester app
  • 00:34:34
    which allows you to change on iOS or on
  • 00:34:36
    Android and this is the case here and
  • 00:34:38
    every controllers that have that feature
  • 00:34:40
    I noticed they have that hidden Xbox
  • 00:34:42
    mode and I had never tried it here and I
  • 00:34:44
    tried it now and it works which means
  • 00:34:46
    that you can effectively use this
  • 00:34:48
    controller wireless if you have a gamer
  • 00:34:51
    dongle the same one that comes included
  • 00:34:54
    with your tarantula or that you can buy
  • 00:34:56
    separate that gives this controller more
  • 00:34:59
    capabilities than I originally realized
  • 00:35:02
    and it also has things that no other
  • 00:35:05
    games or products on the market do and
  • 00:35:07
    very little very few controllers do on
  • 00:35:10
    the market right now on the telescopic
  • 00:35:11
    mobile controller Market that is which
  • 00:35:13
    is that you can redirect your gyro to
  • 00:35:15
    your sticks that is a very neat feature
  • 00:35:18
    and their implementation for this
  • 00:35:19
    controll is actually decent it has one
  • 00:35:21
    of the better d-pads of Gamester now
  • 00:35:24
    some things that it has that people
  • 00:35:26
    don't like is you don't have the analog
  • 00:35:28
    triggers the cooler doesn't have any
  • 00:35:31
    flexibility but I will say this cooler
  • 00:35:34
    is better than any other cooler I tested
  • 00:35:35
    so far on the telescopic Market I ended
  • 00:35:37
    up cutting that portion from the jk2
  • 00:35:40
    video because originally I was talking
  • 00:35:42
    about this and I thought you know what
  • 00:35:43
    let me keep that product that video
  • 00:35:45
    about that product and not talk about
  • 00:35:46
    the X3 Pro but this cooler is I don't
  • 00:35:49
    know what it is it doesn't matter where
  • 00:35:51
    I am in the world I pick it up and I
  • 00:35:52
    touch it and it's already cool whatever
  • 00:35:55
    chemistry that they're using and I think
  • 00:35:57
    that that rubber has something to do as
  • 00:35:59
    well it's extremely efficient and when I
  • 00:36:01
    used it it pulled the heat off of my
  • 00:36:03
    phone so much faster than the jk2 did it
  • 00:36:07
    has very specific features it's a very
  • 00:36:09
    specific product for a very specific
  • 00:36:12
    customer but it is one that is executed
  • 00:36:15
    with extremely high level of precision
  • 00:36:18
    personally I love the look I love the
  • 00:36:20
    case that comes with it and this even
  • 00:36:23
    has like a super mode if you crank up
  • 00:36:25
    enough uh Power into it yeah this is
  • 00:36:28
    this is an A and now knowing that I can
  • 00:36:29
    use it Wireless I just realized that as
  • 00:36:31
    I was making this video Yeah it it's
  • 00:36:35
    it's a controller that I absolutely
  • 00:36:38
    understand why people would be like yeah
  • 00:36:40
    no that's not for me I don't want it I
  • 00:36:42
    totally understand if that's you but the
  • 00:36:44
    reality is that if you see value with
  • 00:36:47
    that product it's extremely good it's
  • 00:36:50
    really extremely good man not only is it
  • 00:36:53
    a a I kind of I I I feel like I'm going
  • 00:36:55
    to have to play some more with this yeah
  • 00:36:57
    this isn't a for sure for sure the gamer
  • 00:37:00
    Galileo G8 plus there's a lot that I got
  • 00:37:03
    to say about this controller number one
  • 00:37:04
    is you might have noticed uh I'm using
  • 00:37:07
    the PlayStation buttons that comes from
  • 00:37:09
    RR Tronics Creations send that so that I
  • 00:37:12
    could test them out thank you very much
  • 00:37:14
    these have magnetic buttons and that's
  • 00:37:16
    something that I've seen a lot of people
  • 00:37:18
    say that oh I wish I had PlayStation
  • 00:37:20
    buttons and I'm still keeping my
  • 00:37:21
    original ones they're right here at
  • 00:37:23
    least I wish Gamester would have their
  • 00:37:25
    proprietary solutions for that but I
  • 00:37:27
    love the fact that there is an option
  • 00:37:29
    out there so thank you very much
  • 00:37:31
    rotronics for sending that one out and
  • 00:37:32
    when it comes to the Galileo G8 plus
  • 00:37:34
    they have just just just released two
  • 00:37:37
    new color schemes oh my Lord I want them
  • 00:37:40
    so bad gam sir please let's talk because
  • 00:37:44
    okay originally our artronic sent me
  • 00:37:47
    that which is an
  • 00:37:48
    extender to have your G8 plus compatible
  • 00:37:51
    with the tablet and if you don't know
  • 00:37:53
    that one is easily modable like this so
  • 00:37:56
    I was not going to install this but now
  • 00:37:59
    that I've seen the new color schemes of
  • 00:38:00
    the G8 plus I think I'm going to be
  • 00:38:02
    installing it at some point because I
  • 00:38:04
    want to get the new ones too if I would
  • 00:38:05
    have made that tier list a month ago I
  • 00:38:07
    would have
  • 00:38:09
    created a completely different tier for
  • 00:38:12
    this one and that would effectively been
  • 00:38:14
    the very first s+ controller on my tier
  • 00:38:18
    list but as I said at the beginning it
  • 00:38:20
    is a dynamic market so I'm not going to
  • 00:38:23
    do that it's so close it's so close now
  • 00:38:27
    I realized for s+ to exist everything
  • 00:38:30
    should be perfect you're not really
  • 00:38:32
    missing out much with this
  • 00:38:34
    controller so it's easier to talk about
  • 00:38:37
    why I'm not making it s+ so one the
  • 00:38:41
    d-pad and the other reason is the
  • 00:38:43
    software now the software believe it or
  • 00:38:46
    not is great it has that uh secret Xbox
  • 00:38:51
    mode that I referred to which by the way
  • 00:38:53
    I'm pretty sure that that mode is secret
  • 00:38:55
    because they have a licensing agreement
  • 00:38:56
    with micr Microsoft so I think there's
  • 00:38:58
    got to be something there I don't think
  • 00:39:00
    it's out of fluke that this control any
  • 00:39:03
    of Gamester controllers don't have a
  • 00:39:05
    wireless Bluetooth Xbox mode it has got
  • 00:39:09
    to be something to do with licensing
  • 00:39:11
    just putting it out there when I say
  • 00:39:13
    software I've mentioned the X3 Pro and
  • 00:39:16
    the way that you can redirect your gyro
  • 00:39:19
    to your right stick and left stick and I
  • 00:39:21
    don't understand why but Gamester has
  • 00:39:23
    not brought that option to the G8 plus
  • 00:39:26
    and I think it's unfortunate because
  • 00:39:29
    there's really no reason for that not to
  • 00:39:32
    be part of this controller sometimes I
  • 00:39:35
    wonder if not if gamer is tied to other
  • 00:39:40
    companies whether it's the where it's
  • 00:39:43
    starts or if it's a sub section of a
  • 00:39:46
    larger company I don't know which it is
  • 00:39:49
    but gamster is constantly showing the
  • 00:39:53
    world just how far they're reaching go
  • 00:39:57
    and with such amazing value they are on
  • 00:40:01
    A League of Their Own I don't think
  • 00:40:03
    people realize how quickly and how
  • 00:40:07
    impactfully that gamer is currently
  • 00:40:10
    transforming a lot of controller Market
  • 00:40:14
    when they enter a a
  • 00:40:17
    space they immediately put a stamp on
  • 00:40:21
    the fact that they're entering that
  • 00:40:22
    market the Taran Chilla is that
  • 00:40:24
    controller the G8 plus is that
  • 00:40:26
    controller on the telescopic Market in
  • 00:40:28
    fact the G8 was before it they are
  • 00:40:30
    taking the Xbox controller Market by
  • 00:40:33
    storm they have phenomenal calibration
  • 00:40:37
    now you may not like the component you
  • 00:40:38
    may not like the aesthetic because
  • 00:40:40
    there's a subjective notion there's a
  • 00:40:42
    lot of things that you may not like
  • 00:40:43
    about gamer products but objectively
  • 00:40:46
    they are capable of bringing products to
  • 00:40:49
    Market that can cater to so many people
  • 00:40:52
    for such an affordable solution and you
  • 00:40:54
    know the funny thing is I used to
  • 00:40:58
    I used to hate that company De honest
  • 00:41:00
    and we're going to talk about it soon
  • 00:41:02
    cuz uh I'm I have a little bit of a
  • 00:41:04
    surprise in my box but I am
  • 00:41:07
    glad just like I I have never been a big
  • 00:41:10
    fan of apple and yet I have an iPad and
  • 00:41:12
    iPhones and I just to me it's more
  • 00:41:15
    important to put my biases aside and
  • 00:41:19
    allow myself to experience a brand and
  • 00:41:21
    their products to see what changed what
  • 00:41:24
    evolved and I used to hate gamesters so
  • 00:41:27
    bad but they've converted me they've
  • 00:41:31
    converted me and and I'm proud of myself
  • 00:41:35
    for allowing myself to to re-experience
  • 00:41:38
    a brand and what they have to offer and
  • 00:41:40
    see the value that they bring but I am
  • 00:41:42
    so I got to give credit where credit is
  • 00:41:45
    due Gamester converting me not because
  • 00:41:47
    of their brand they Solly did it by the
  • 00:41:52
    quality of their products so they
  • 00:41:54
    deserve the credit because it it's one
  • 00:41:56
    thing to have me start at neutral and
  • 00:41:59
    convince me it's another to have me
  • 00:42:02
    start
  • 00:42:04
    at you know negative and bring me to
  • 00:42:08
    such a high positive the ga+ I mean if
  • 00:42:10
    you don't own it you're missing out
  • 00:42:12
    simple as that you have to have this
  • 00:42:14
    controller and I was talking a a little
  • 00:42:17
    earlier about the viter pro and the way
  • 00:42:18
    that they've expanded the way that I
  • 00:42:21
    game that controller is a pivotal aspect
  • 00:42:25
    to what I was talking about and because
  • 00:42:27
    I have somewhat of a platform when it
  • 00:42:30
    comes to controllers gam sir we need a
  • 00:42:32
    G8 with a cooler please well we need a
  • 00:42:36
    G8 plus with a cooler
  • 00:42:39
    please
  • 00:42:40
    please or hey how about a game Tech talk
  • 00:42:43
    special edition
  • 00:42:45
    yeah the easy SMX M15 one of the very
  • 00:42:50
    few controllers on the market that I can
  • 00:42:52
    effectively say manage to drone the
  • 00:42:55
    Galileo G8 I'm going to put a this one
  • 00:42:59
    has Bluetooth it has great quality
  • 00:43:02
    controls it doesn't feel as quality as
  • 00:43:05
    the Galileo but it's absolutely
  • 00:43:07
    acceptable uh it has a better d-pad than
  • 00:43:10
    the Galileo the sticks are great I mean
  • 00:43:12
    you have some features that you don't
  • 00:43:13
    have you know you don't have the
  • 00:43:14
    swappable magnetic face plate or the
  • 00:43:16
    magnetic buttons but there is very
  • 00:43:19
    little missing from that controller it
  • 00:43:22
    goes by different names this is the easy
  • 00:43:24
    SMX M15 but you have the easy the memo
  • 00:43:27
    S3 you have now the Explorer which is
  • 00:43:29
    new to Market and I'm going to be
  • 00:43:30
    reviewing a new one that has a
  • 00:43:33
    completely different look but is
  • 00:43:35
    effectively what seems to be the exact
  • 00:43:37
    same product but it has a feature that
  • 00:43:39
    this one doesn't so I'm excited to see
  • 00:43:41
    what that's going to be all about it has
  • 00:43:43
    a um an accessory
  • 00:43:46
    cooler that one is the memo one I don't
  • 00:43:48
    think easy SMX markets that one um
  • 00:43:51
    overall extremely good can't really go
  • 00:43:53
    wrong very very well balanced I I think
  • 00:43:56
    that's the one thing with this product
  • 00:43:58
    is where you have the Galileo G that
  • 00:44:00
    does achieve better things compared to
  • 00:44:03
    this one this one just strikes a better
  • 00:44:06
    balance overall that's really what makes
  • 00:44:07
    it so good it's really a great product
  • 00:44:10
    there you have it the easy SMX M15 the
  • 00:44:13
    cooler accessory I'm not going to score
  • 00:44:15
    that thing but it's it's cool that there
  • 00:44:17
    is an accessory compatible with that
  • 00:44:20
    product line I will debate that it's a
  • 00:44:22
    little useless in terms of efficiency
  • 00:44:25
    but you know it's cool nonetheless well
  • 00:44:27
    here it is the memo S3 but this is the
  • 00:44:30
    tablet edition and that one I will put
  • 00:44:33
    as an S because ultimately it's the same
  • 00:44:36
    controller you have software support by
  • 00:44:38
    the way they both can do up to 1,000 htz
  • 00:44:40
    pulling rate which is still extremely
  • 00:44:42
    rare on the current landscape it is
  • 00:44:44
    really a phenomenal controller but the
  • 00:44:46
    tablet just is more versatile overall
  • 00:44:50
    much like the other one you could do the
  • 00:44:51
    Bluetooth trick and just power this
  • 00:44:53
    controller and use it Bluetooth now that
  • 00:44:56
    battery bank is not large enough so I
  • 00:44:59
    wouldn't want to use it like that but
  • 00:45:01
    it's going to work with phones most
  • 00:45:02
    phones you're still going to be able to
  • 00:45:04
    use that controller just fine it has a
  • 00:45:06
    protruding USBC so because the tablet
  • 00:45:09
    mode is just overall more versatile
  • 00:45:12
    that's why I'm going to give that one an
  • 00:45:14
    S because honestly if you're looking to
  • 00:45:16
    buy something and potentially only buy
  • 00:45:19
    one and not have to worry too much for
  • 00:45:22
    the next year and just let the market
  • 00:45:24
    evolve and then buy something different
  • 00:45:26
    that's the definitely the controller
  • 00:45:27
    that will get you there like this is
  • 00:45:29
    futureproof enough as it is right now
  • 00:45:32
    that you can buy this and not have to
  • 00:45:35
    have any concerns until the next year
  • 00:45:38
    and see what else is in store it'll get
  • 00:45:40
    you far it'll get you places you're not
  • 00:45:42
    really gimping out too much in terms of
  • 00:45:44
    quality you are definitely getting a lot
  • 00:45:46
    of features and for the few features
  • 00:45:48
    that you don't have like battery and
  • 00:45:49
    full cap Bluetooth capability you have
  • 00:45:52
    Solutions like what I just showed you by
  • 00:45:54
    putting a battery bank so it can even be
  • 00:45:57
    expanded in terms of Versatility you can
  • 00:46:00
    put the cooler there it's not the cooler
  • 00:46:02
    of the X3 Pro of the jk2 or the bsp d10s
  • 00:46:06
    or d10 but it's still a solution that
  • 00:46:09
    can help mitigate uh throttling and and
  • 00:46:12
    just memo S3 tablet edition in my
  • 00:46:15
    opinion just manages to Edge out the
  • 00:46:18
    easy SMX M15 just enough that it goes up
  • 00:46:21
    in one TI the Scuf Nomad I'm going to
  • 00:46:24
    put as a b the the major issue with the
  • 00:46:26
    this controller and I've talked about it
  • 00:46:28
    over and over again is the fact that
  • 00:46:30
    it's discharged like every it's very
  • 00:46:32
    simple if I plug this controller and I
  • 00:46:35
    let it completely charge and I game with
  • 00:46:37
    it and then I store it for maybe a week
  • 00:46:40
    later when I want to play with it
  • 00:46:41
    guaranteed there's no more battery in
  • 00:46:43
    this thing it's one of those controllers
  • 00:46:44
    that constantly needs to be plugged it
  • 00:46:47
    only operates Bluetooth so it's a fully
  • 00:46:49
    wireless controller but it also only
  • 00:46:52
    works on Apple devices apparently they
  • 00:46:55
    are working active on getting Android
  • 00:46:58
    and if they are I would assume that the
  • 00:47:00
    reason is because maybe they're not
  • 00:47:02
    seeing the sales that they were hoping
  • 00:47:03
    to see and I think if it would have
  • 00:47:05
    supported Android now it might have
  • 00:47:08
    gotten bumped to an a the thing with the
  • 00:47:11
    Scuf Nomad is it's a controller that
  • 00:47:14
    every time a new controller comes out
  • 00:47:16
    this one is becoming less and less
  • 00:47:18
    relevant what saves this one from a lot
  • 00:47:21
    of the very aggressive options that we
  • 00:47:23
    see from the Chinese market right now is
  • 00:47:25
    that this one is particularly good at
  • 00:47:28
    one thing it's really good for aiming
  • 00:47:31
    and there's a lot of features that other
  • 00:47:33
    controllers have for example gyro Rumble
  • 00:47:36
    that you don't have here uh you don't
  • 00:47:38
    have charging pass through like it's
  • 00:47:40
    it's it's rapidly becoming weak in terms
  • 00:47:43
    of
  • 00:47:44
    features but it has an ergonomic style
  • 00:47:47
    that makes it stand out for Shooters and
  • 00:47:50
    if you are a shooter person and you want
  • 00:47:52
    the symmetrical over which is extremely
  • 00:47:56
    rare that controller definitely has a
  • 00:47:58
    very unique approach on the market but
  • 00:48:01
    it also has a lot holding it back to be
  • 00:48:04
    bumped to a tier a or tier s what I
  • 00:48:08
    would hope to see with the scuff Nomad
  • 00:48:10
    if being honest is that as soon as
  • 00:48:12
    possible Scuf makes that one Legacy or
  • 00:48:16
    they knock it down in price and they
  • 00:48:18
    come out with a V2 I think Scuf right
  • 00:48:21
    now with this controller has one of the
  • 00:48:23
    stronger foundations that the low for
  • 00:48:27
    factor market has it's just there's a
  • 00:48:30
    lot of reasons to to not like this
  • 00:48:34
    controller just as much as there are a
  • 00:48:37
    lot of reasons to like it they just need
  • 00:48:39
    to strike a better balance and uh it'll
  • 00:48:41
    be golden that's a surprise and that's
  • 00:48:44
    the one that will have a little bit of a
  • 00:48:45
    story time so I bought this on release
  • 00:48:47
    this is the famed one which uh has the
  • 00:48:51
    egg NS emulator support that made people
  • 00:48:55
    this like Gamester ride off the bat
  • 00:48:57
    blueprint of the x2s the X2 Pro I found
  • 00:49:01
    this in my box about a week ago I was
  • 00:49:04
    trying to clean and look what I
  • 00:49:07
    noticed even back then we could do that
  • 00:49:11
    now it doesn't stretch as wide but they
  • 00:49:14
    already employed the coil system it was
  • 00:49:17
    already stretchable even then the
  • 00:49:19
    software is you know it's got it's
  • 00:49:21
    gotten so far and they don't go back and
  • 00:49:23
    upgrade their controller so there's very
  • 00:49:25
    little that you can do in terms of
  • 00:49:26
    tweaking with this one the d-pad is not
  • 00:49:29
    great but believe it or not when that
  • 00:49:31
    came out that pretty much put the entire
  • 00:49:33
    Market to shame now the reason why I
  • 00:49:36
    said I was going to have a little story
  • 00:49:38
    the reason why I used to hate Gamester
  • 00:49:39
    is I bought this controller and I didn't
  • 00:49:41
    use it a whole lot but I was like okay I
  • 00:49:43
    like where this is going and then they
  • 00:49:45
    released their X2 lightning which was
  • 00:49:48
    for iPhones it was basically that but
  • 00:49:49
    with a lightning port and they released
  • 00:49:51
    the X2 Bluetooth both were bought from
  • 00:49:54
    their own website so they I remember
  • 00:49:57
    back then there was a thing about having
  • 00:49:58
    fake models whatever BS if you ask me
  • 00:50:02
    but back then the literally the X2
  • 00:50:05
    lightning I put it in my phone and I
  • 00:50:08
    released it and around the connector
  • 00:50:10
    there was a metal band and that metal
  • 00:50:12
    band came undone and the connector would
  • 00:50:15
    never the controller would never connect
  • 00:50:17
    again I tried reaching out to them I
  • 00:50:19
    tried getting service I would never hear
  • 00:50:21
    back so I was like okay wow that's
  • 00:50:24
    interesting and then the X2 bluet tooth
  • 00:50:28
    the first update that came out I plugged
  • 00:50:30
    it I started the update stayed stuck at
  • 00:50:34
    99% I kept it there for I want to say
  • 00:50:36
    easily 5 hours at some point I thought
  • 00:50:39
    you know what I have to disconnect it
  • 00:50:41
    let's just hope I can apply the the
  • 00:50:44
    firmware upgrade again and I
  • 00:50:45
    disconnected it and I knew I shouldn't
  • 00:50:47
    but it had been 5 hours stuck on 99% at
  • 00:50:50
    that point it was never going to happen
  • 00:50:52
    and lo and behold when I disconnected it
  • 00:50:54
    and connected it back it never worked
  • 00:50:56
    again and both these two controllers I
  • 00:50:58
    just mentioned the X2 lightning and the
  • 00:51:00
    X2 Bluetooth I used once once each
  • 00:51:03
    controllers so I was like and again I
  • 00:51:06
    tried to reach out to gamster I wouldn't
  • 00:51:08
    get an answer no reply the products were
  • 00:51:11
    never exchanged in terms of warranty I
  • 00:51:12
    was never getting any assistant any
  • 00:51:15
    assistant now gamar are a lot better and
  • 00:51:17
    that's why they managed to win me back
  • 00:51:19
    it's not like it's the first time that I
  • 00:51:21
    hear about a company doing something
  • 00:51:23
    like this especially when they're small
  • 00:51:25
    if there is
  • 00:51:27
    evil end quote I much prefer it to be a
  • 00:51:31
    necessary
  • 00:51:33
    evil and to me that's what happened then
  • 00:51:37
    that's what I account my experience to
  • 00:51:40
    now with Clarity and with having seen
  • 00:51:43
    how games are evolved is that they were
  • 00:51:45
    a smaller company they didn't have
  • 00:51:47
    probably the cash flow they didn't have
  • 00:51:48
    the licensing that they have now but to
  • 00:51:51
    know that they've used their growth
  • 00:51:53
    their visibility to expand into the
  • 00:51:57
    brand that they are now it's in
  • 00:52:00
    situations like that that I'm like you
  • 00:52:02
    know what I got screwed out of PR almost
  • 00:52:05
    $200 back then I'm okay because I feel
  • 00:52:08
    like those
  • 00:52:09
    $200 have served a purpose so that now
  • 00:52:13
    we can have something like the gamster
  • 00:52:15
    Galileo G8 for less than what I had paid
  • 00:52:18
    the X2 Bluetooth at the time that
  • 00:52:21
    controller I was happy to find it I knew
  • 00:52:23
    I had it somewhere in boxes but it it
  • 00:52:26
    kind kind of is an emotional controller
  • 00:52:29
    for me to remember where my relationship
  • 00:52:32
    with gamer started and where it is now
  • 00:52:36
    and that's why I'm probably never going
  • 00:52:37
    to get rid of that controller but it is
  • 00:52:40
    a d don't get me wrong this is
  • 00:52:43
    absolutely a d by today's standard I
  • 00:52:45
    tried using it again and I was I almost
  • 00:52:48
    puked in my mouth that is not a great
  • 00:52:50
    controller at all by today's standard
  • 00:52:53
    this is a d the X4 Aeron I'm going to
  • 00:52:55
    still leave it as a I know a lot of
  • 00:52:57
    people are like oh dude that controller
  • 00:52:59
    should be an S and I get it but that's
  • 00:53:01
    the
  • 00:53:01
    thing anyone that went to my previous
  • 00:53:04
    tier list and told me that should be an
  • 00:53:06
    S you are the exact proof of Why I
  • 00:53:10
    Praise this controller in the first
  • 00:53:12
    place I've said it then I'm going to say
  • 00:53:14
    it again today and I'll probably say it
  • 00:53:16
    again in the future this controller is
  • 00:53:18
    designed for a subset of customers for
  • 00:53:21
    Niche but if you are part of that Niche
  • 00:53:25
    this is probably the better option and I
  • 00:53:28
    get why I absolutely totally understand
  • 00:53:32
    why and this is what makes this
  • 00:53:33
    controller so great the quality is
  • 00:53:36
    outstanding it is in my opinion uh
  • 00:53:39
    probably their best licensing controller
  • 00:53:42
    on the telescopic mobile controller
  • 00:53:44
    market so far it's stupid good for the
  • 00:53:48
    right customer that's why it's not an S
  • 00:53:50
    because it's not made for every customer
  • 00:53:52
    and uh it's important to acknowledge
  • 00:53:54
    that it's also not cheap but if it is
  • 00:53:56
    for you I know that you're going to love
  • 00:53:58
    it to death because it does a lot of
  • 00:54:00
    things that no other controller do and
  • 00:54:03
    despite having that layer to it it does
  • 00:54:06
    it with great quality great components
  • 00:54:09
    great buttons great software easily in a
  • 00:54:12
    very hard to beat the gamster X4 Aeron
  • 00:54:15
    is a subset and a subset so to my
  • 00:54:19
    opinion it is a niche in a niche because
  • 00:54:22
    of what it does but in that Niche they
  • 00:54:25
    are the best by far by far and the very
  • 00:54:29
    last one the gam wi AO Bing I just
  • 00:54:33
    reviewed that one I'm going to put that
  • 00:54:35
    one as an a if you're interested in the
  • 00:54:38
    easy SMX M15 that's like the interesting
  • 00:54:42
    alternative it's much like the
  • 00:54:45
    jk2 that's a controller that does
  • 00:54:48
    surprise me the more I pick it up the
  • 00:54:50
    more I'm like yeah it has some quality
  • 00:54:52
    to it I recently reviewed it it's not
  • 00:54:54
    perfect by no means but it is an
  • 00:54:56
    incredibly good value proposition one
  • 00:54:59
    that is hard to beat on the current
  • 00:55:00
    market and it's extremely rare for
  • 00:55:04
    controllers to have the 3.5 mm Jack this
  • 00:55:07
    one has it and I completely noticed by
  • 00:55:09
    mistake this controller and I don't
  • 00:55:12
    think any other controller with the 3.5
  • 00:55:14
    mm Jack does that that I know of I it's
  • 00:55:17
    not even listed as a feature it's
  • 00:55:19
    something I completely discovered by
  • 00:55:20
    mistake this whenever you plug this it
  • 00:55:23
    will serve as a USBC to 3. 5 mm solution
  • 00:55:28
    why is that important I mean it's
  • 00:55:30
    probably a use case that most people
  • 00:55:31
    wouldn't need you would want to have
  • 00:55:33
    your phone connected while uh playing on
  • 00:55:36
    your PC because it does have bluetooth
  • 00:55:38
    support this one so you want to use it
  • 00:55:40
    as your PC but you want to use your
  • 00:55:42
    phone as the battery to power your
  • 00:55:44
    device you can still get audio coming
  • 00:55:47
    out of your phone and not the one from
  • 00:55:49
    the PC so it it really is a unique
  • 00:55:52
    feature that I don't know why people
  • 00:55:55
    would need it but I haven't seen any
  • 00:55:57
    other controllers do that and after
  • 00:55:59
    realizing that this was a thing I did go
  • 00:56:02
    back and test a couple ones the G8 does
  • 00:56:04
    not do that the absolute S9 does not do
  • 00:56:06
    that this is something I don't believe
  • 00:56:08
    other controllers to my knowledge do and
  • 00:56:11
    again it's that one feature that I don't
  • 00:56:13
    understand why people would need but
  • 00:56:14
    it's kind of cool but past that I mean
  • 00:56:16
    it has bigger sticks which is definitely
  • 00:56:19
    a welcome addition for a lot of people
  • 00:56:20
    you have bluetooth support you have
  • 00:56:22
    different modes you also have the air
  • 00:56:25
    hold which while it's not a cooler per
  • 00:56:28
    se I know it's something that some
  • 00:56:30
    people will definitely appreciate
  • 00:56:31
    because it could potentially prevent
  • 00:56:34
    some heat issues some tootling issues uh
  • 00:56:37
    one thing that I dislike with this one
  • 00:56:39
    that I don't think I talked about during
  • 00:56:40
    my review but the LEDs can be quite
  • 00:56:43
    daunting when playing at night yeah
  • 00:56:45
    they're a little too strong for my taste
  • 00:56:47
    and there you have it guys this is the
  • 00:56:48
    list so I'll put it on screen so that
  • 00:56:50
    you can review it I am comfortable with
  • 00:56:53
    everything that I've positioned there
  • 00:56:55
    there's a few extra special mention that
  • 00:56:57
    I wanted to talk about which will
  • 00:56:59
    probably be featured in the next tier
  • 00:57:01
    list l or EO Vagabond which they have
  • 00:57:04
    reached out I'll be having it for review
  • 00:57:06
    so make sure to stay tuned if you're
  • 00:57:08
    interested in seeing a review of that
  • 00:57:09
    controller they are really targeting the
  • 00:57:11
    esport mar Market it definitely seems to
  • 00:57:13
    have less features than some of the
  • 00:57:15
    recent options which is not necessarily
  • 00:57:17
    a bad thing if they can really really
  • 00:57:20
    bring it for the esport uh Gamers out
  • 00:57:23
    there so I'm excited to see what that is
  • 00:57:24
    all about the bsp and 01 bsp had said
  • 00:57:28
    apparently on Duan which is the Chinese
  • 00:57:31
    Tik Tok that they were done with the D
  • 00:57:34
    line and I guess the n01 is their first
  • 00:57:37
    product that they're bringing to Market
  • 00:57:39
    which I have ordered I should be
  • 00:57:41
    reviewing it shortly as well I'm excited
  • 00:57:43
    to see what kind of changes they bring
  • 00:57:45
    with that one but it seems again to have
  • 00:57:46
    that signature bsp extremely feature
  • 00:57:49
    Rich another special mention is the bsp
  • 00:57:52
    n02 now that one should come out in 2025
  • 00:57:55
    and that controller in my opinion should
  • 00:57:58
    will probably be the new flagship from
  • 00:58:01
    bsp when it comes out it seems to be a
  • 00:58:03
    Razer keyi with the Rog testing gimmick
  • 00:58:06
    all the features you could ask for RGB
  • 00:58:09
    so it's going to be very exciting to see
  • 00:58:11
    what that controller is going to be all
  • 00:58:13
    about I'm hoping that it is the
  • 00:58:15
    controller where bsp is like f it we're
  • 00:58:17
    just putting everything we got into that
  • 00:58:19
    one product and we we hope to release a
  • 00:58:22
    banger and if that is that could be an S
  • 00:58:25
    contender so I'm excited to see what
  • 00:58:27
    this is going to be all about there's
  • 00:58:28
    the legion G7 which is a rebranded G8
  • 00:58:31
    effectively you know it kind of has this
  • 00:58:33
    neat feature where it extend so you
  • 00:58:34
    don't need to mod it for smaller tablets
  • 00:58:36
    and then last but not least you also
  • 00:58:38
    have the GameStop Raptor 8 which also is
  • 00:58:41
    a rebranded Gamester Galileo G8 man G
  • 00:58:45
    gamster are on a roll guys that is it
  • 00:58:48
    for this video I've been recording
  • 00:58:51
    for an hour and a half uh I'm going to
  • 00:58:54
    have a lot of work to do with the
  • 00:58:56
    editing did you manage to stick all the
  • 00:58:59
    way to the end if you have thank you so
  • 00:59:01
    very much please consider doing the
  • 00:59:03
    YouTube things and uh I want to do this
  • 00:59:06
    again it's already confirmed that I'm
  • 00:59:08
    going to do this again I'm I'm hoping to
  • 00:59:10
    do one every 3 to four months so between
  • 00:59:13
    then and now um there's going to be a
  • 00:59:16
    lot more products to talk about and rest
  • 00:59:19
    assured that I'll be here to talk about
  • 00:59:21
    them thank you very much for watching
  • 00:59:23
