GameSir has introduced the G8 Plus MFi, its first telescopic controller to receive Apple’s Made for iPhone/iPad (MFi) certification, giving iOS gamers a wired, low-latency option designed specifically for iPhones and the iPad mini.
The controller is priced at $79.99 and connects directly via USB-C, avoiding the latency issues sometimes associated with Bluetooth accessories. It also includes pass-through charging, allowing users to top up their device while playing, along with a 3.5mm headphone jack for wired audio.
In terms of design, the G8 Plus MFi comes in a white finish with gray accents on the sticks, buttons, and triggers. GameSir has opted for Hall Effect thumbsticks and analog triggers to reduce wear and drift over time, paired with a mechanical D-pad and membrane ABXY buttons. Two programmable rear buttons are built into the grips for added control in competitive titles.
One of the more flexible elements is the magnetic, removable faceplate, which allows users to swap thumbstick heights or change the ABXY layout to better match Xbox- or PlayStation-style button arrangements.
While aimed primarily at iOS users, the controller also supports select Android devices up to 215mm in length, including smaller tablets. That said, it differs from the standard GameSir G8 Plus in a few key ways. The MFi version drops wireless connectivity, an internal battery, and gyroscope support in favor of a simpler wired setup that meets Apple’s certification requirements.
The GameSir G8 Plus MFi is now available through Amazon and GameSir’s official store. For iOS players looking for a console-style controller without stepping into higher price brackets, it offers a straightforward, officially supported alternative.
