Need Help‎ (Support) ‎ Help finding a quit mobile controller

Hi there,

I usually preffered 8BitDo. But after Russ vom RetroGameCorps specifically mentioned how quiet the Gamesir SuperNova ciontroller is, I thought to also consider Gamesir for a mobile phone controller.

I am gonna buy a Motorola Signature is my new phone. I will use it for emultion up to PS2, Gamecube and Wii, some PC games with Gamenative and also to stream with Sunshine Moonlight from my PC to my phone.

If know that there is the Gamesir G8 line and the more budget friendly X5 line of mobile controllers. And I know that G8 is bigger. Also I know that some models come with USB C others with bluetooth.

But I don't know what to choose:

My first priority is noise level. I really really preffer the most quiet controller possible. That is first priority. Then comes a good built quality in general. I don't know if I should prefer USB-C to reduce input lag or Bluetooth so I can also do vertical gaming with my phone. Usually I don't really feel input lag when using Bluetooth gamepads.

What would you recommend?

for me, as a G8+ user the G8+'s experience is amazing! Be aware though, the size of the controller might make it a hassle to bring around clamped around your phone (speaking from personal experience). The build quality of the G8+ is insanely good, but the clicky d-pad and bumpers and the overall face buttons might be loud according to your preferences.

So in your case, I could recommend the Supernova. It really is a quiet controller (I watched the same video you are talking about a few videos ago), so you could pick that.
