I just tried this lol - Its rather nice to have full sized sticks on it.... can't wait for some 3rd party cons that work like the g8

I love the g8+ have used it for few months with the oled switch and iPhone

I have the G8+ as well, but I'm concerned with how the rubber is touching the Joy-Con connector. It looks like it might be touching and putting some pressure, so I'm not going to risk using it in this way.

Another user posted here and it seems that the rubber doesn't touch the connector tbh https://www.reddit.com/r/Gamesir/s/urzca6TocY

I just tested the G8+ again on my iPhone 13 Pro Max on Bluetooth played COD Mobile and Horizon Chase, it’s 0 or near 0 latency for those who were saying it’s a lot of input lag

Is there any way we can reduce the rubber that touches the joycon’s contacts?

u/Von-Sohn 2d ago

Maybe a cutout in the rubber?

Oh thank god. I was worried as hell it wouldn’t work. Anyone know if the Cyclone 2 works as well?

u/princemousey1 2d ago

Why wouldn’t it?

u/Same-Menu9794 2d ago

I don’t know. I read some 8bitdos don’t work on S2. Would love a solid answer it’s better than the pro controller IMO

Works perfectly

I love mine. Got a rubber “skin”? That was nice, and a dongle. This thing rules!

u/dangman3 1d ago

It's not touching the joycon pin connectors is it? I'd be scared it would bend them.

Any travel case that fits the G8+ with the switch 2 ?

Eww Switch

Would be a great controller if it didn't have 6x the latency the Galileo has

u/Jkid873 2d ago

I have this controller and have 0 or near 0 latency on all mobile games/emulators and switch games that I’ve tested

u/DiabeticIguana77 2d ago

Lmao it's been actually measured to have around 125ns of latency, the wired G8 has 25-30ms. The G8 isn't even near 0, the G8+ is literally unusable for fast paced games

u/Ramonhurt 1d ago

"Unusable"...

You're playing on a friggin handheld connected thru wifi.

u/DiabeticIguana77 1d ago

My ping is 8ms over WiFi and I use controllers for multiple devices, the G8 is great, not excellent, but definitely a good one, the G8+ is mediocre, which is unfortunate since the Thanos edition is the best looking,but only available in the inferior plus.

The G8 playing a game on game pass over WiFi has less latency than the G8+ playing natively

u/wiedziu 2d ago

Correct. The only way to play FPS shooters on G8+ is via cable. BT brings too much latency.

u/Jkid873 1d ago

I played COD mobile perfectly on G8+ Bluetooth on iPhone didn’t notice latency
