AliexpressThe GameSir G8 Plus is a Bluetooth stretchable controller for compatible Android and iOS mobile devices, with support for Nintendo Switch when the correct mode is selected. The controller-only variant is supplied without the optional carrying case. Its two-sided design accommodates devices from 120 to 215 mm in length, while magnetic faceplates and interchangeable thumbstick caps allow some physical adjustment to the setup.
Controls and hardware
The controller uses Hall-effect sticks and analog triggers, with two back buttons for additional inputs. A built-in six-axis gyro provides motion-control capability where the host mode and game support it. The unit has a 1000 mAh total battery split between its two sides and weighs 314 g.
- Bluetooth mobile connection for Android and iOS
- USB wired connection for PC; a compatible separate wireless dongle may also be used
- Nintendo Switch support when the appropriate mode is selected
- Two back buttons, analog triggers and six-axis gyro
- Magnetic faceplates and three interchangeable thumbstick caps
Compatibility and setup
On iOS, games need native controller support. On Android, mapping depends on the game or app and the setup used. Controls and gyro behaviour can vary by host mode, so this is not a promise of universal compatibility. Check the device dimensions and camera-bump arrangement before buying, then keep both rechargeable controller sides charged. The G8 Plus is not a general USB hub or power bank.
