I have the original S9 controller, so once I learned of Abxylute made a successor without the USB-C port I had to try it out. Both are amazing controllers for games such as Wuthering Waves- doubly so for iPhone users. Below are my pros/cons with the S8. The top controller is the S8 while the bottom controller is the S9 for size reference.Pros+ No USB-C port makes it universal to older iPhones that use the lightning cable and for the Switch tablet. Much easier to handle than the Switch joycons.+ Tactile buttons and clicks feel like the Xbox/PS5 buttons. I've tried the backbone one controller, and it doesn't feel as good compared to this.+ Button placement is perfect thumb reach distance, especially for those with large hands.Cons:- The S8 isn't as comfortable since it's slightly bigger due to having a battery in it.- Right joystick placement is lower than the S9Overall:For the price this is an excellent and well-made controller for iPhone. I highly recommend it if you're a casual mobile gamer. Right now, I am alternating between the two controllers as I can't decide which one I like more. Either way, this will make the gaming experience more pleasant than just using the on-screen buttons. Once you get one you can never go back!I am giving it a 5 star because I believe the cons listed are more preferencial in my opinion. Overall the design is sold and doesn't feel flimsy or cheap.
