Welcome. So in front of me I have the GameSer X2 Bluetooth controller. It's specifically designed for phones and
0:07
I was going to make an unboxing but to be honest I have been using this for I believe like close to
0:12
actually over a week right now. So this is more of an overview afterwards. I will kind of just
0:22
demonstrate the yes what's in the box obviously but it's pretty simple packaging so there we
0:30
We do have a little nice pouch right here. It's a hard case, so that's pretty nice
0:36
And inside we get the actual controller. So if I take it out, the little rubber band might not be the best kind of addition right here
0:48
It kind of catches on the edges. Now there we go. So there's our controller
0:53
As you can see, it's the telescopic one. So it stretches. And it can fit basically the chunkiest phone
0:59
the chunkiest phones that can possibly think of. I do have one specifically right here that I think it's the biggest phone right now on the market
1:09
I could be wrong but if it's not, obviously it's going to be very close to one
1:14
And it will fit in here no problem. And we also get these little things so we have a rubber tips on here that you can put on
1:26
the joysticks. So we have a convex ones by default. As you can see, let's move that out of the way
1:33
So these are... Camera, come on. So these are convex and we get concave ones
1:40
Personally, I have been using both of them for about the same amount of time, so half half
1:47
And I started off with these ones, but I do have to say I think I prefer the convex ones more
1:55
rubber on here is a little bit better, at least for me, where my finger slips less
2:00
These ones are bigger and kind of feel nice at the beginning, but just, I don't know
2:06
something about them for me, it doesn't really suit my needs as much, so I prefer them off
2:14
So, at least make my fingers slip way less, so yeah, I prefer that
2:20
Now, a couple notable things. the version I have right here is a Bluetooth version of it
2:25
so it does have a built-in battery and it needs to be charged unfortunately
2:29
there is one that basically has either a lightning port I believe that's what iPhones use
2:35
or a type C for phones whichever one you have those don't need any kind of battery
2:42
they don't need to be charged or anything they just use the charge of the phone to power itself
2:47
now as far as I'm aware there is no vibration motors in these
2:52
which I think it's pretty nice because or it would be pretty useless if they added it
2:59
because there is a spring and it's a little bit of a hollow build. You can kind of hear
3:04
the spring just rattle in there. If there would be a vibration motor, that would be just the most unpleasant
3:11
sound you could probably imagine. So yeah. And additionally, build quality of this is pretty nice. We have
3:19
xY b or a and b and we have the two different joysticks we have a epaubr right here and we have a
3:28
button the right and left button and then we also have the right and left trigger and just to kind of go into it the triggers themselves are clicky so they're not like what's the name linear or whatever uh they're basically have an either on or off position they don't have like the in between like for instance xbox or
3:49
or PlayStation controllers do where you just press it halfway and it's just kind of giving half of the input or
3:57
however you want to like close it call it so as an example in racing games if you press this it's either
4:05
full throttle or no throttle at all opposed to what you normally have like an Xbox controller
4:10
where you just press it halfway and it gives you half of the throttle for some that might be a bummer
4:15
honestly for like phone gaming and I don't mean like racing games I haven't really needed it
4:22
obviously for racing games this probably would be a very nice thing to have but for that there is a
4:29
pro version of it so the gameser x2 pro which does have this kind of triggers so obviously that's
4:37
one of the downsides honestly to me like I said it didn't really bother me and I've used this for
4:43
majority of the week. And like I said, extensively use this. Additionally
4:49
battery life on here, it's pretty nice. I think I charged it like three times
4:53
throughout the week or so. So the battery lasts pretty well. And probably one of the reasons why the battery
5:01
lasts a decent amount of time here is because, like I said, it has no
5:05
rumble, no vibration motors, so it's only sending input it or whatever you press to the phone
5:11
over Bluetooth. Now, I've been using this with my fold 4 for the majority of the time, or actually for the entirety of the time
5:21
And this phone probably you might be thinking it's pretty big. Not really, not in a grand scheme of things
5:27
There are phones that are bigger. So because the way you put it in is just not going to be unfolding it
5:34
So you put it like this, right? I mean, if you unfold it, it's the same size. But when it comes down to it, for instance, this is a real me device, and this one is bigger
5:43
As you can see, it would need to stretch it further to fix it or fit it
5:51
So just to kind of showcase this. As you can see, this requires more of the actual thing to be stretched
6:02
So there we go. Now, unfortunately, I was unable to use this with this device specifically
6:06
just because for some reason, G4Snow, which is what I've been using primarily
6:11
did not work on a Reelme. also doesn't work on one plus
6:16
G4s now give a bullshit excuse that at least they did for the
6:23
1 plus that oh it's running Oxygen OS which like I said it's a bullshit excuse
6:28
because Oxygen OS it's not like its own operating system it still Android so Nvidia fix your shit and stop making bullshit excuses that it running on whatever It still Android Majority of us users aren an absolute bunch of idiots so your excuse doesn really fly
6:44
Now, what I did receive recently right here is a S23 Ultra, which this is an absolute unit of a device
6:56
And even with the biggest phone that I have on hand, the biggest one that I can also think
7:02
think of, it fits in here, no problem. I mean, well, maybe not no problem
7:07
It's starting to stretch its limits. No pun intended. But as you can see, it still fits
7:14
And the only downside that I found out recently with this is
7:19
you have a camera, all of them have a bump. And no matter where you put it, it doesn't really sit well
7:24
Now, if your camera bump is located a little bit lower, that wouldn't be such a problem because it would fit in this gap right here
7:31
Now talking about this gap, it's one of those things that did, there were a bit of a downside
7:37
to this device, meaning the controller. So just quickly, while I'm doing this, I'm going to quickly launch this
7:48
So when it's stretched out like this, no matter what the device is, the way you hold it
7:56
at least the way I did, is kind of like this with my pinky right here
8:01
And this is a relatively like sharp edge right here. Or, you know, it's a 90 degree
8:08
So it's not as comfortable for your finger to rest here. I either have like prop it up with your phone right here or..
8:18
Come on. There we go. Or just hold it at the back
8:23
So you have to hold it in like a weird position so you don't really get to have your finger rub against this
8:29
Now obviously better fix would be to have this at an angle kind of like rounded up and this
8:35
have like a cut in there so it would just fold on its own but it's not and that's one of the downsides
8:42
right here but in terms of gaming just turn it on now I already paired it so it will connect
8:52
or should connect automatically now downside of a g-force now is that once you connect a controller
8:59
of like do this come on gesture navigation please work there we go I'm gonna
9:08
select it we're gonna resume and now it should work fine for some reason when
9:12
you connect when your g4 now is already open and you connect to it it won't come
9:18
out it won't like automatically connect to it so you need to like go into recent
9:24
apps and then reopen it There we go. Now additional downside here, at the controller itself, which is not the case for the Pro version
9:36
It has its own kind of weird named buttons. So we have S, we have a G
9:42
So these are basically equivalent of Xbox buttons, so they're like the Mini and other one
9:48
And we do not have a Xbox home button, as you have like the with the logo
9:53
The Pro version does have it right here. one does not work as such it just switches between I believe profiles which if you have
10:02
an application there is an application for this this will allow you to just assign I guess
10:08
different profiles and from there swap it around which might be very good to have if
10:14
for instance you play some mobile game that does not have support for an actual
10:20
controller because right now the phone is working with this as though this is an
10:25
Xbox controller. As you can see the buttons on here will be Xbox like so we have x
10:30
Y, A, B and so on. And other than that the controller works just flawlessly. Now
10:36
downside of a G-Forse now is that you need an internet connection and a pretty okay one
10:43
I have been using G-Fords now on the absolutely worst internet connection I could ever imagine
10:50
And it still worked though I needed to go through hoops to
10:55
basically make it work. So I lowered down the bitrate to like six, I believe it was
11:01
with a smaller resolution just so I can run it, and still it was struggling. But right here
11:06
at work where I am at right now, with a gigabit internet, even though it's being shared between
11:11
everybody that is here, it's still working pretty well. You can possibly see a little bit of a delay
11:19
Obviously, it's still being streamed from Nvidia servers to the phone. and also on a Bluetooth connection so there might be a couple things that add input lag to it but
11:30
in general when you're playing this it's not as as bad as you might imagine can actually
11:37
turn off the lights a little bit hopefully this will make it look a little bit better
11:42
and for some reason this is Mac's brightness but the phone is still trying to
11:55
to control the brightness. So I'm just going to run through it a little bit
12:04
Like you can see this, the camera can barely see this. Now I believe this is just due to a
12:11
dynamic range of the camera. I can actually see what's right here, personally. But like I said
12:19
I think the... no, it's very hard to get it. So yeah, I can see this very clearly this looks way better than it does on the camera, obviously, but quickly just going through here
12:35
Let's see, we got this guy right there. Yeah, this is basically being like hacking and stuff like that
12:49
So, but obviously, yeah. you can see it works pretty well. One downside that I have to say about
12:59
G-Force now as an example because that's what I've been using for the most part
13:03
is they kind of of a not very consumer approach So if I go into settings I right now running at a resolution of video right here
13:25
This is right now running at 1680 by 720p. Obviously significantly lower than the resolution of this phone's capability
13:36
And another thing that annoys a living hellatomy about G4's now is the
13:40
their bullshit way to lock settings, or like settings, they're not really lacking the settings
13:47
They're just reverting it back to what they did save at the beginning
13:53
Now, there is a premium version that you can obviously pay. I am paying for this service
13:58
Keep in mind, I am a founder. So I am a founding member of this
14:03
I still have the founder subscription. And the bullshit is they included later on higher tiers
14:10
which for me that's kind of annoying considering I'm a founder and I'm not planning to pay
14:15
three times more for for minuscule upgrades that I'm looking for like the ability for the
14:22
G-Force now to actually remember the settings that I have chosen because every time you select any kind
14:26
of settings in any game it will revert back to each setting having its own settings
14:33
and the bullshit part is is that they're doing it deliberately they do have
14:40
a file of save or save file that they create and I know that for a fact
14:47
because if I change in certain games certain settings it will remember those
14:51
because those somehow are being saved up but it will revert everything else
14:56
so it's deliberately changing the settings for graphics specifically but nothing else so for instance if you change like Path of Exile it's one of those
15:04
cases that I have one of the games that I've been playing recently again
15:10
So if you change the sound quality and path of exile and you close the game and you reopen it up through G4
15:15
Now, it will remember the previous volume settings. What it will not remember is the graphics settings that have changed
15:22
or maybe the map settings. So if you want transparency of a map or just zoom of it to be changed
15:28
that will be reverted back. Sound quality? No, sound quality just saved. So they are saving the settings every time
15:34
but they're purposefully handicapping you to force you into buying the stupid subscription
15:38
the higher tiered one. and to me as a person that kind of bought into it at the very beginning
15:45
that's a massive middle finger to me. I'm getting basically screwed over because a free user, apart from a queue
15:50
has the same privileges as me. And that's not very nice. Me as a paying person from the very beginning of the service
16:01
getting the same treatment as a free person that basically just freeloads off of the service
16:07
and all he does is just needs to do is wait for his turn
16:12
Obviously, he has a shorter playtime for me. I believe it's like six or eight hours of playtime, continuous
16:20
while for the free user, it's only an hour, plus obviously the queue for all the free users
16:25
I have priority, which still is kind of nice, but in grand scheme of things
16:30
I feel like the higher tiers are just too expensive for what they offer. And additional problems with the service
16:37
when using this as they do lock also resolutions. So if you have different phones like fold, it gets really annoying
16:47
because your resolution that you will probably be, you know, the optimal resolution is something, or aspect ratio
16:56
is something like 5 by 4. Not necessarily, it's a little bit different
17:01
but it's close enough to basically fill the entire screen almost. But 5 by 4 is locked to
17:07
a pitiful lower resolution than the 1080p. So if we just count pixel rate
17:16
1080p has a higher pixel count than the 5x4 that they're offering
17:20
which just gets you scammed even more, and that's the only 5x4 resolution that will basically be accessible to us
17:27
to anybody who's using fold. And that's a little bit garbage. Now, I do know that I kind of went from talking about the controller
17:37
to talking about streaming or stream or geforce now more precisely but that is basically what i've
17:43
been using this with primarily and what i believe is this kind of thing being kind of designed for
17:50
users like that that prefer to utilize cloud streaming it is a full-fledged controller and obviously gets
17:58
you all the controls that that you'd get from a typical typical controller
18:07
you can obviously connect a things like an x-box controller and it will work just fine
18:15
there we go so yeah you could connect an x-box controller and it will work just fine or uh use this
18:21
and it works just as well the only downside is this is a little bit less comfortable because of
18:25
this like jagged edge right here but in terms of convenience to have your phone like stored in
18:30
here it's just kind of laying in here it works just flawlessly um obviously with better internet you will have a
18:36
lower latency than probably you're seeing right now. And yeah, obviously also for geforce now you could use on-screen controllers
18:45
but I will be honest these are kind of garbage and they add massive amounts of
18:49
latency so I don't recommend it. And this has been working just falllessly for me
18:54
It's really nice, nice design. I'm gonna turn that off right now. There we go. So
19:06
For what I've been using this, this works really well. Also, the quality of this, in terms of like how it feels in hand, it's pretty nice
19:15
It's solid. The buttons are solid as well. Connection has been solid
19:21
I didn't have many problems with, like, just struggling to connect to the device
19:26
I don't know how well it works on a longer, like, distances, but obviously it's designed for a phone
19:31
So it's a very small chance that you have a higher distance
19:36
distance from a device than normally. Obviously maybe you plug in it, plug in your phone to a TV
19:41
I'm pretty sure it still should work on like a couple meters away
19:45
It is working on a Bluetooth controller or Bluetooth connectivity, so there should be no problem with that And one thing that I will say is a downside at least for the Bluetooth version of it is you basically need to charge both things separately meaning like your phone and your controller
20:03
For the controller, it is down here at the bottom. Obviously, it charges no problem
20:09
But when it comes down to a phone like this one, when you pop it in here
20:13
obviously you have a charging port right over here, and you have no way of plugging in any kind of charging to the device
20:18
device when it's in here. One thing that kind of made it really nice for me to have a fold is
20:25
if I unfold it, my charging part is right over here, and I can literally slop it in here
20:31
like so. And you can see I still have access to my charging port. So that is one of the nicer
20:37
thing about a folding device specifically with this. And obviously if you're not charging it
20:44
you can shift it to be in the middle. So both edges will kind of be just
20:48
to show this off, we'll be sticking out just a little bit. Well, maybe more than just a little bit
20:54
but as you can see, it still fits in here pretty nicely. Additionally, obviously, this is holding the phone pretty nicely
21:04
It's not falling out. It has rubber grammats on both sides. So just to kind of go into the build quality right here
21:12
So this is rubber, and these are also rubber. So this entire side is rubber
21:20
As you can see, it has kind of like this grip right here to hold your phone in place
21:25
so it won't even slip out on both sides. And it's been holding my devices pretty well
21:30
Even this one where the camera bump makes it be a little bit more elevated than I would like it to
21:37
Probably a better solution would be if they would shift the split to be more right here
21:43
This would allow it so that the camera bump falls in this space right here
21:48
won't really be you know being pushed up up by the camera bump at all and yeah like
21:57
I said the only problem that I've had at this for me as with the when it's stretched
22:04
out or your finger just kind of like rest right here and it's not the most
22:08
comfortable but that's the only problem so there we go just to kind of give my
22:16
opinion about this after using it for a decent amount of time. I really like this, this little toy right here, it's been working solidly for me
22:26
It made like a trip that I had out of the country with my device to be super pleasant
22:31
at least for like gaming-wise. With the controller, I didn't need to bring my bulky Xbox
22:36
controller or anything like that, and obviously it's holding your phone as well. The battery
22:40
has been solid, so yeah, in general it's a really nice device
22:45
Now I did learn that there is a pro version a little bit later after I put this one sadly. And there is also an X3 version, a newer version of this, which I have not
22:55
had my hands on yet. That one comes with a fan though because I'm primarily doing a cloud
23:01
gaming. I don't really care for the fan. It adds extra bulk to the controller itself and obviously
23:07
adds cooling to the device which this becomes kind of like a thermal pod where it just kind
23:15
of you know you put your phone, your phone kind of sticks to it and becomes a thermal. pad which draws the heat away from the phone and gets cooled by the fan which is located at the back somewhere here
23:25
but cloud gaming doesn't really have a problem with the phone overheating so that's really useless for me
23:32
and the build quality seems to be at least seems to be i might be completely incorrect very similar to
23:39
this and this is just a little bit smaller which is what i prefer um or at least i think i prefer this
23:48
One thing that I'll mention is when you're holding this, if you have a small hands, you might be just comfortable with this for my little bit bigger adult hands
24:00
It's a little bit wonky. There's not enough bulk in here, as you would normally have with like an Xbox controller or PlayStation controller
24:08
So you just kind of like have it rested and you just, well, do this
24:13
There is also a little bit of a... kind of like a weird placement of the buttons
24:22
They resemble, obviously, a lot even, like, in the color scheme, a switch controller
24:31
I don't know if that's a good thing or not. I haven't really used a switch, so I can't really say how comparable these are
24:38
But one thing that I had a problem with is when you're holding it, number one, Xbox controller
24:43
I kind of have both of my fingers on both of the triggers or buttons and triggers
24:47
here it's very uncomfortable to do this like this. Your hands kind of become like just twisted in weird ways that isn't very comfortable
24:56
So I just use my index, no, pointing fingers, and do this
25:04
And also like when holding it like this, you can see the stick is basically just somewhere like right here, my thumb, instead of being under my thumb
25:12
And because these are shifted like an Xbox controller, you hold the content
25:17
controller like your hand here, the right hand is significantly lower than the right
25:22
than the left one, just so you can comfortably use both of the triggers and it just kind
25:27
of creates this lopsided feel. That's a little bit of a downside right here
25:32
But if you're willing to kind of overcome this, which it's totally doable and hasn't been
25:37
much of a problem, just a little bit to get used to
25:41
Like I said, it works just flawlessly. I'd recommend this if you're planning to pick it up
25:45
I bought it relatively cheaply off of some of it. one. So it's been technically secondhand though it hasn't been used at all. It's basically in
25:55
perfect condition. I did scoff it up more using myself than it was from the box. And I believe I paid
26:04
for it $30, something like that. So for 30 bucks this is a freaking fantastic controller
26:12
for super cheap for your device. Highly recommend it. Now anyway, if you found this very helpful
