While there is no shortage of mobile game controller options to choose from out there, it's my duty to keep bringing interesting ones to your attention so you can find the best possible model for your needs.

Today's specimen is the G8 Galileo by GameSir, an extendable gamepad grip for the entire iPhone 15 series and most Android 8.0+ smartphones with a USB-C port.

Its anti-drift joysticks and precision-tuned analog triggers are all outfitted with smooth and responsive Hall Effect sensors for console-level pinpoint control that gives you a competitive edge in any style of game.

Meanwhile, the actual USB-C jack on the controller swivels up and down to allow for easier phone connection/removal, and in this way helps ensure the longevity of both devices.

The G8 allows for passthrough charging for those longer gaming sessions, and you have the choice of using either wired (3.5mm) or Bluetooth headphones for the best in-game audio feedback.

It comes with three extra thumbsticks (small, tall, and dome) that can be changed out as desired, and swappable magnetic faceplates allow you to customize the look of your controller.

As of August 17th, 2024 you can get the GameSir G8 Galileo on sale for $73 on Amazon (down from $100).
