5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic mobile controller
The media could not be loaded. Got this to play games with on my ‘gaming’ mobile - a Samsung S9.This controller is just fantastic. I love beat em up games but they’re so hard to play on mobile because of the touch screens. It’s just too frustrating because your fingers slip and you can’t hit when you want to. This controller totally eliminates that problem quickly and easily.It’s so easy to use. You just expand the controller and slide your phone in and plug it into the USB-C connector. That’s it! You’re up and running. The USB-C connector is also, very cleverly, fixed into the case in a way that it rocks up and down instead of being static. This totally removes the possibility of breaking it accidentally. Very clever.The controller sticks and buttons are all comfortable to use and, most importantly, it’s responsive. I didn’t detect any lag at all and that’s most likely because it’s connect through USB-C instead of Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.There are 4 fire buttons on the front as well as 2 on the edge and 2 shoulder buttons too! The D-pad works brilliantly and reminds me of the old NES days!Overall, I’m really happy with this controller. It fixes the touch screen issue when playing games, is super easy to use with no apps needed to get it up and running. It’s just plug and play. It also takes no batteries at all, which is just fantastic as you don’t have to keep charging it. Overall, very impressed.
4.0 out of 5 stars Only minor gripes
It works great, I've been using it for both Android games and for emulators. Buttons are clicky, and the D-Pad works well.Gripes include:You are almost required to use the app from the Play Store, which crashes a lot (which doesn't cause problems, besides a notification telling you the app crashed), and it has ads (they aren't intrusive, but the app has a 'store' with GameSir products, as well as a 'Discover' section with android apps that are almost certainly sponsored.On a positive note, the app does support remapping and analogue stick calibration, as well as the option to switch your shoulder buttons to a 'digital' input rather than analogue.The biggest issue is the thumb grips. I was puzzled when the package contained four thumb grips, but within a few days it became evident why. They make the analogue sticks feel much better than they do bare, but they slip off incredibly easily. It has been less than 2 weeks and I've lost track of all four that came with the product. They just fall off so easily, especially when you're taking it around with you.Attaching your phone to the device can be tricky until you get the hang of it, but the USB C port does angle itself up so that you can plug your phone in, then extend the grip around your phone.General notes:I've been using it with my Galaxy Z Fold 5. and the experience has been flawless. It fits well into the grip even when unfolded, so you can play on the big screen. I do have concerns about the USB C connector wearing out the USB C port on my phone, but so far it has been okay.Compatibility is the best I've ever seen on Android. After installing the app, I've not had issues with any game or emulator. With other controllers in the past, I've had issues with certain buttons performing system functions when in games, which can render the controller unusable. This only happens with the X2S if you don't have the app installed.The only app I've had issues with is the PS Remote Play app, which does not pick up the controller. This is a deliberate design by Sony though, I'm pretty sure they block all non-Sony controllers. An alternative is to use a third-party app called 'Chiaki', which has far better support, but also is a lot more involved in its setup.Overall, I'm pretty happy with the £50 spent here. It's an infinitely better experience than placing your phone on a table and connecting a wireless controller, or those mounts that connect to a regular DualSense/Xbox controller, as the weight distribution is far more reasonable.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent mobile controller
The media could not be loaded. For the price, I can't really fault this mobile gaming controller. It works great and the colourful, retro look makes for a stylish gaming companion to any phone. My daughter is currently using it with her very basic galaxy phone - the phone fits easily into place thanks to the movable USB C connector and is gripped well without slipping. The controller is comfortable to hold and a joy to use, with responsive thumb sticks and buttons. I've tried it on other phone models including my rather larger Pixel pro and although my phone is probably on the larger side, it still fits the controller nicely. The controller is so easy to use - simply plug in and play. My daughter has been using this mostly on Roblox where it works a treat - it turns the phone effortlessly into a gaming console. The controller works well with any game offering controller support. Sadly Genshin, another of my daughters favourite games doesn't offer that yet on Android phones - boo! There's a handy USB C charging port built into the controller so you can charge whilst playing, or indeed use wired headphones if preferred. The controller comes with instructions (although being a simple plug and play you probably won't need them) and 2 pairs of thumb grips. Overall it's a fantastic, responsive, good quality controller that's perfect for anyone who loves mobile gaming.
1.0 out of 5 stars Misleading information.
It says throughout the content on Bolo that is compatible with IPhone 15. But it is not.
Great controller for my iphone 15
For the price this things great. Right out of the box i stuck my phone in it and started playing metal storm (arial combat game) Didnt have to set anything up, this thing was good to go. Buttons are responsive with no lag. Switched over to an emulator and played some mario 64 and starfox. Ill try a FPS game next. So far im very pleased with my purchase!Edit: daughter removed phone from the controller and bent the connector. Asurion is not accepting my proof of purchase for my insurance claim. Hopefully we can get it squared away
Fun and useful
Used it to turn my phone into a Dreamcast :) works right out of the box fine!
Great product but hard to use alone
I loved this but the package came damaged and the phone plugs directly in and its difficult to hold it open and insert the phone. The combination means a return for me.

Parfait pour le prix. Une bonne manette pour téléphone pour émulation ou jeu android .Possible de mappé des touches tactiles en touche physique si le jeu ne prend pas en charge la manette.
Mi ha cambiato la giornata.
Non passo le ore a giocare, ma appunto per questo, attaccarlo al cellulare e farci una partitina di tanto in tanto era proprio quello che cercavo, magari steso sul letto o in poltrona. Senza dover comperare una costosa console portatile che non userei oppure stare scomodo con le dita sullo schermo del cellulare, sporcandolo e ostruendo la visuale.Molto soddisfatto e lo consiglio.
