More and more users are betting on smartphone gaming, especially because the games are getting better and better. Games like PUBG Mobile or Free Fire show how mobile games are evolving. Now with these two adapters you can play on mobile as if it were steam bridge and they are with up to one 15% discount.
First of all, we have the GameSir X2, a very interesting solution compatible with most smartphones on the market. Then we have the Shaks S5b gamepad, an alternative that has a design very reminiscent of the new Xbox controllers. Two very interesting options compatible with most Android phones on the market.
GameSir X2
The segment of mobile games It is one of more powerful
Play mobile games like PUBG-Mobile without being a control it’s really complicated. Among the options we found that we liked the most is the GameSir X2. We are talking about a gamepad that connects the mobile via USB-C, now the mobile standard. Connecting through this port allows us to reduce the time between the execution of the action and its arrival at the terminal.
Count with a Directional pad Which was improved. This has been improved to make it easier and more comfortable to use with the left hand. This is achieved by facilitating the use and assistance in the game. It also incorporates a specific button that allows us to take screenshots in a very simple and fast way.
You should know that this device allows smartphone up to 173 mm, being compatible with most terminals. The USB-C connector of this controller has an adjustable movement of up to 51 degrees to facilitate the connection and disconnection of the mobile.
The Android smartphone holds very well once placed. Internally, the gamepad is designed to “squeeze” the smartphone and prevent it from moving while we play. In addition, it has rubber supports to prevent it from moving while we use it.
I must say that I had the chance to try it a long time ago and it is a very interesting solution. It works perfectly and for many games it is appreciated, because it becomes more comfortable to enjoy it.
Shake S5b
Whether one of these gamepad depends on the smartphone connection type, supposes a limitation. Android smartphones currently only use a USB-C port, so there’s no problem there. The problem is whether we want to use it on an Apple smartphone, since they do not have this type of port.
If you are looking for a “universal” solution, the Shaks S5b is a more than interesting option. The strength of this system is that it works Medium Bluetooth, so there is no physical connection. It is based on a chip developed by Qualcomm that enables high-speed interconnection with very low latency. Thus, it is not only compatible with Android smartphones, but also with Apple smartphones.
It has one disadvantage compared to GameSir gamepad is that it only supports smartphones of up to 165mm. We should have no problem with most smartphones on the market, but some will not be compatible.
The good thing about this type of gamepads is that we can use platforms like NVIDIA GeForce NOW, LUNA or Xbox Game Pass. In this way we can enjoy games that on a mobile would otherwise be unthinkable.
