With so many gaming pads out there for mobile phones, Xiaomi has decided to join in the battle with this awesome device after they have phased out their own gaming pad. The problem with the older version of their own gaming pad primarily is the phone mount. Second concern is the fun factor when playing and the experience. This one took it to the next level gaming. But not all games can be played on this one, probably the support of the Chinese language will be your problem. ML needs to be modified to make it work on this unit.

Actual Unit!


The Phone Mount is ample enough to place the Redmi 5 Plus, and it has a little more room probably can accomodate the Mi MAX 2


We love the contour of the gamepad.


The holder down there has a good grip, I played for a while, and my hands are a little sweaty, but its still good.


R3 button is a big plus for some games requiring it


The buttons are very well described with an engraved logo


Mount


Joystick is good, but could have been better if surface is rubberized finish for maximum grip

Installing the App

OK!

Configurations Done!

Now configuring this one is not too much of a walk in the park, especially when you dont know Chinese language, but once you set it up, its awesome to use. I played some fighting games and NBA2k18 and it was really enjoyable, I can say it can pretty much size up to the experience you can play in the Black Shark, but of course the Black Shark still is the better option should you have the cash. But if you are short of cash and you want a good gaming experience, this one should be good enough.
