GameSir has officially expanded its mobile lineup with the debut of the G8+ MFi Type-C Wired Game Controller. This new model brings professional-grade control to iPhone, iPad, and Android users worldwide as it is designed to bridge the gap between mobile and console gaming.
Seamless Connectivity and Universal Design
The G8+ MFi distinguishes itself with official MFi certification, guaranteeing “plug-and-play” stability and low-latency performance across the Apple ecosystem. Architecturally, it features a minimalist grey-and-white aesthetic and an ultra-wide stretch range (125–215mm). This versatility allows it to securely house everything from standard smartphones to the iPad mini, at the same time maintaining the ergonomic comfort of a full-sized console gamepad.
Hall Effect Precision and Durability
At the heart of the G8+ MFi is GameSir’s signature hardware engineering. These are presented in the following manner.
- Hall Effect Joysticks: Featuring non-contact magnetic sensors, these sticks eliminate stick drift and are rated for a lifespan of five million cycles.
- Analog Triggers: The Hall Effect triggers provide refined responsiveness, including a dedicated Hair Trigger Mode for the instantaneous inputs required in competitive shooters and fast-paced action titles.
Customization and Pro-Level Features
GameSir has prioritized player agency by including a suite of modular features:
- Swappable Components: Magnetic faceplates allow users to interchange thumb-sticks and physically swap ABXY layouts to suit their preferred style.
- Remappable Back Buttons: Two additional triggers on the rear of the device can be programmed for complex in-game macros or faster execution.
- Pass-Through Power: The movable Type-C connector supports pass-through charging, ensuring your device stays powered during marathon sessions.
Betta Core, CEO of GameSir, emphasized the importance of precision and flexibility in the modern gaming landscape. He said: “With the G8+ MFi, we wanted to eliminate the compromises that mobile players usually have to make.
“By integrating Hall Effect technology and securing official MFi certification, we’ve ensured that whether you’re on an iPhone or an iPad mini, the experience feels identical to a high-end console.”
Enhanced Tactile Feedback
To deepen immersion, the G8+ MFi is equipped with dual asymmetric motors, delivering nuanced haptic feedback ranging from subtle environmental cues to intense impact vibrations. The tactile experience is further refined by membrane ABXY buttons (rated for two million clicks) and a mechanical D-pad designed for the pixel-perfect accuracy required in fighting games and platformers.
Advanced App Integration
Users can fine-tune their experience via the GameSir App, which offers deep customization for stick/trigger dead zones, vibration intensity, and firmware updates. For on-the-fly changes, several core settings can also be adjusted using physical button combinations directly on the hardware.
Pricing and Availability
The GameSir G8+ MFi Type-C Wired Game Controller is now available for $79.99 / £79.99. It can be purchased through the official GameSir website and Amazon (US), with availability on Amazon (UK) expected to follow shortly.
