Okay so I acted a little derp and posted a new highly similar thread in the wrong section even, so I'll make this the main thread since the other one was closed (I'd still like to have people comment on this thread of course, with questions for me to answer)
Anyway,
A while ago I asked a question here on XDA regarding the GCM10 Game Control Mount and its compatibility with a PS3 controller. I didn't get that many detailed answers and I figured more people would be interested to know whether the GCM10 works with the PS3 controller. I used my Xperia Z1 instead of a Z3 as advertised but this obviously shouldn't make a difference. Since I won this from the Xperiablog community, I figured I should do the community a favour in return by doing this.
As you can see here, the GCM10 doesn't quite fit the PS3 controller - it almost closes, but you'll have to use a rubber band or come up with another creative idea to close it properly. Before I received this, I used to hold the Xperia phone and controller in place with only one bent wire which was very fragile. I used it in the bus once or twice, but really wouldn't have recommended this. Now this GCM10 already seems much better since it steadily holds the phone in place with the suction cup, which was the main issue with my previous wire solution.
The downside is that the GCM10's metal wire in the middle (which is actually covered in rubber - a very nice detail indeed) is slightly in the way of the square button, and you cannot completely rotate the analog sticks to the sides where the wires are. With rubber bands the controller is pretty much usable and pretty stable as well, but the wires make this experience all but perfect. If you're not careful, one wire might even press and hold the square button on the controller, which is not something you'll want. Also for games that do absolutely need the analog joysticks to move all the way around as should be able, you may not find this to be working well. Although GTA: SA for Android does allow for both walking and running movement, which no notable difference in whether you push the stick down until it hits the wire and until it reaches the side where it's supposed to end. I do not recommend buying the GCM10 if you only have a PS3 controller in conclusion, unless you have money to spare. There must be better options out there for a PS3 controller. I could consider upgrading to a PS4 controller but this is kind of a waste of money as I don't actually own a PlayStation. But if you do, then this GCM10 really is a nice addition if you like to play mobile games. Especially for emulating games it would be amazing!
Im also curious, since i dont have a ps4 controller.
Does not fit the DS3.... It's made for DS4 ONLY.
Please post in the correct section and only create one thread

When the Razer phone was announced I expected Razer to come up with their own controller case (like the controller for moto mods).
Since that was not the case, I was wondering what other options we have for the Razer phone...

I like this one:
CamRom® Telescopic Wireless Bluetooth Game Controller Gamepad Joystick for Samsung iPhone iPod iPad Android Phone Tablet PC CA1042ZR
Hit up fasttech.. They have many Bluetooth controller that will fit our phone and make it shaped like just about every handheld you can imagine.
I just purchased this about 2 weeks ago and it's been great so far, it connected instantly with no issues and worked out of the box with 99% of the emulators and games on my device without even messing with the button mapping. It has no lag that I can see, and has amazing battery life, I haven't charged it yet since I got and I've used it at least 4 hours each day. The phone fits in it perfectly with out a case, and even with the bulky case that I have on it now I can still squeeze it in and it holds securely. I'd recommend it if your looking for a controller.
Edit: apparently I'm not allowed to post links because I don't have more then 10 posts, but if you go to Amazon and search "Bounabay Wireless Telescopic Bluetooth Controller" it's the first result
Bit late on the reply but Razer do have an older Bluetooth mobile controller they made for their Forge TV, it's called the Razer Serval and from the looks of its images on Amazon UK it has a clip for mobiles. I know it won't be everyone's cup of tea if they prefer the actual case controller instead of a clip controller.
Hey everyone,
I've been looking at the Rog Phone 2 as a potential upgrade for awhile now, and am considering buying it on Giztop rather than waiting for a US release. I would like to get it with the Kunai Gamepad 2 (seems like a perfect gamepad for emulators and I really like joy-con style controllers) but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Does anyone know where I can find the controller or if it's even been released yet? For those who may already have the Kunai Gamepad 2, how good is it compared to other attachable android controllers?

Not yet released bro. It comes out december 2019
Kunai gamempad, already available in China
Kunai gamepad it's already here. I've got only the version to attach it to the phone, since i don't need the adapter to use it as an independent Bluetooth controller.
It comes with the central bumper, the 2 joycons and 1 adapter from usbC to jack, in case you don't wanna use the fan but still wanna use the headset, since the default jack will be covered by the bumper.
It has some presets already for few games, and the rest are completely customizable. I'm still configuring it so I can't give an opinion yet. I can only post 1 picture from the phone.
If someone has any other question, let me know and I'll test whatever I can. View attachment 4851177

Are there buttons on the back of the controller and do the sticks click in? Giving an L3 R3 option?
Giztop is now taking pre-orders as well

Yes, besides the L1, L2, R1 and R2, there is also an M1 on the right hand, and M2 on the left hand, both on the rear side.
PD: looks like i can post more pictures now
Edit: forgot to say, yes, the sticks can click in, there is L3 and R3

Very nice! Does it feel comfortable to hold in hand? And how is the deadzone recognizing on the right analog stick? Usually with these gamepads the right analog stick sucks for things such as aiming and whatnot. I liked how the black shark 2 had a touch pad but it was u comfortable to hold after awhile.
Giztop, Asus Singapore, and B&H here in the United States have been taking orders for a week. You can get it by the end of October or so. I do look forward to finally having it

Yeah, the right analog stick is not really useful... On shooter games, it still better to aim using the touchscreen. You can adjust the sensitivity on each game though. Left stick works great

I'm that case do you have to have both controllers connected to use them or can you do it like the flydigi wasp?

you dont need to use both. it come with a side protection for the bumpers in case you only want to use one side of the controller. The fact is that when the controller is pluffed, the touchscreen stills working, so it doesnt matter if you plug or not the right side of the controller, in shooter games you can still aim with the right joystick or with the touchscreen on the same time. if you remove that part, then only the touchscreen will work. Even air triggers still working on the same time if you want

havent had that one hour gaming session yet! haha.
according to my short experience:
Call of duty mobile and PUBG: right analog stick is way more slow and imprecise than using the touchscreen, rest of the buttons are great
Dolphin emulator Game Cube / wii: I manily lost all my time tryint to set up this. Problem is, you can set up only 1 mapping setup per app, that means that when you change the controller type (freom wii mote to game cube controller for example) then all your set up it's a mess. The best solution is first set up the key mapping for the kunai, and after that, make fit both Game cube and wii controlers to that previous set up, but i lost a lot of time until i figured that out :silly: tonight I will continue testing
Havent tried anythin else. Saw that brawl stars also is compatible but didnt try it yet.

i see, thanks for ur kind response! gonna note that
How do you map the controller to basic games? Is there some kind of app or does game genie recognize the controller and you can go in there to remap the controller? Is the remap only applicable to games that support game pad or is it to any game? Reason I am asking is because I don't play pubg shooter game. I play generic games. Can you also use it as a basic Bluetooth controller?
Sorry for a lot of questions, these controllers are quote expensive and there is no return, so I have to make sure it serves my purpose.

It works in a similar way than Air triggers. Actually, exactly the same. when you open the game/app, swipe the game genie from the right side, and you will see a new icon there, called Kunai, just under the air trigger's icon. You press there, and then the whole screen will dim a bit, and there you will overlay the whole layout or the buttons that you need, on the app/game interface, an that set up will be saved for that game/app.
To use it as a bluetooth controller, I think you will need the central piece of the Kunai, which I don't have, because the inclusion of that piece made it to double the price. At least here in china, the options I saw were:
- Bumper where you put the phone in (via USB-C) + Kunai left&right = 499 rmb
- Bumper where you put the phone in (via USB-C) + Kunai left&right + central piece to attach Joycons and where I think the bluetooth connection is = 999 rmb
in my opinion, second option is a bit too much since i dont plan to use the Phone as a docked console, but if you do, it might be an option. the thing is that there is no power button or charging port on the kunai that I have, energy only comes through the usb when the kunai its attached to the phone, thats why I guess the central part (that i dont have) will contain the battery and the bluetooth feature, and somehow justify its price.
Thanks for the response, i pretty much got all the answers needed. Since i map/overlay the button layout, i am definetely getting one. I got the cheap Ipega Bluetooth controller, although it works but i can not find a way to change the layout.
In the US the option to buy the controller that i saw is: _ Gamepad, the Gamepad grip and the Kunai Bumper case = 150 usd (999rmb). I would think this is the second option you mentioned and they is no option for return. This is very expensive that is why i asked the questions. I plan on using the Bluetooth capability of the controller and may end up using it as an additional controller for my Nintendo Switch with the help of an adaptor hopefully it works.
So far do you like using it? is it comfortable enough?
Please share the name of the suppliers in China where i can get the - Bumper where you put the phone in (via USB-C) + Kunai left&right = 499 rmb
Thanks

You are welcome. Well, i live in China and I've got it from Jingdong, kind of the "Chinese Amazon" let me post the link
https://item.m.jd.com/product/59276...are&utm_campaign=t_335139774&utm_term=CopyURL
Hope it works, but i don't think they deliver to any other country outside China. My Chinese is not good enough to check that

Is the right analog stick that slow on these games? I thought on buying it for COD mobile and some other rpg / mmo games, but the right stick is usually the aim one. If it's much slower it might be a deal breaker for me.. And that's a bummer =/

In my opinion, yes, the right stick sucks for aiming. Maybe it's me, you could give it a try. Good thing is, when the kunai is attached, it stills comfortable enough to aim using the touchscreen and shoot with the kunai trigger, Just ignoring the right joystick. I havent tried any rpg/mmo game yet. If you mention any, I will give it a try.
My mmo games are mostly lineage 2 and world of kings..
But I play more shooters games (well, COD actually..).
Have you tried playing with the sensitivity options in game?
Ot is it a lag issue?
If it's a lag issue I won't buy it probably =/
Hi Everyone!
Im searching for a working holder (mount) for S4. Onto a Xbox One or a Dualshock 4 controller.....
I tried chinese controllers (Ipega,etcetc), every one of them was a trash with **** analogue stick, bad deadzones...
The Xbox One controller and the dualshock 4 working fine with the S4. I found Sony GCM10, but its discontinued, i cant buy it from anywhere.... I found mounts/holders to DS4/One gamepad for smaller phones (6inch) but i cant find any good mount for the Tab S4.... Im playing streamed games from my pc on the S4 with these two controllers, but its very uncomfortable without a controller mount....
Any tips, links,help? Maybe a GCM10 for sale?
Thanks!
This company prints them in 3D so there are many combinations of phones/tablets and gamepad. The problem with them is that they are a bit fragile and bulky (you can't store them in a pocket) but they do the job well.

An advice: choose the over the top variant because this tablet is heavy and the front rider is more tiring (simple physics).
