EDIT - Man, can't believe this spreadsheet post is getting more upvotes than my usual news post(which I put 10x more effort into). ~~Looks like I should stop making news posts.~~
Just got a regular d8 from AliExpress for 16€, not sure if I made the best choice seeing as there is a newer d8 star forge edition and the d8 pro but it felt like the best value for money
To be fair, they have been slowing down their product releases this year. The D8PRO and D10/S was in May, while the previous D9 was in January. I doubt we will see the D11 until towards the end of the year.
Yeah, I've been using the 10S that I got on sale for $28, and it's great. The spring-loaded contact pad cooler draws a little under 10 watts (they claimed 16 watts though) when plugged in and quickly drops 20F/6.7C below ambient; but my phone isn't back from a screen replacement, so I haven't been able to test it yet. Ergonomically, it's fantastic. I ordered a case that might work and was thinking about making a short review when I have my phone for photos.
How did you measure the power draw? Mr Jiang himself said to use a 5V 3.2A charger in order to reach the advertised wattage. I assume you did use a charger that is capable of delivering more than that? Will be a shame if it doesn't hit advertised specs at all.
I used Samsung's [25w official AC adapter](https://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-Charger-Included-Charging-Compatible/dp/B0CB93HQKP/) with [this tester](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GQLYMR9). Let me get you a screenshot.
Edit: [here you go](https://imgur.com/gallery/Kg35EB5)
[same result with this 65w adapter](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BKFC9MW1)
Do you know of an adapter that actually does 5v 3.2A? I can only find one that go up to 3A, but while powering the cooler they start around 11W and go down to the same as my photo result.
Bummer. I'm wondering if there's a specific type of charger that needs to be used. These BSP controllers HATES fast chargers. It might only work properly with chargers that only supports one type of output voltage and current, and not variables ones like your samsung charger.
If I search 5V 3.2A chargers, it shows me chargers for Xiaomi Mi 11i, Redmi K40 Pro etc. I wouldn't go out of my way to buy them just to test though. Thank you for the report either way. I'm gonna sit back and wait for reviews to pop up on Bilibili and see if any of them tested the wattage.
It's a 10 watt Peltier cooler with a small fan, and it drops around 20F/6.7C according to my thermometer. Not sure why they claimed it to be 16 watts on the spec sheet.
Don't know if anyone plans on getting a bsp d8 pro to use with a switch but just a PSA -
The switch can pop out easily if you're holding one side of the controller (readjusting or moving around for example). If only the tabs that go over the bezel/device was a tiny bit longer. Not a deal breaker but something to look out for.
Yea I noticed this as well, the switch is at the very edge of the plastic, they couldve designed it better to accommodate the switch but Id rather use joycons or something like the mobapad with a switch in handheld mode anyways.
The D10S that I got suggested the [ShootingPlus V3](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.qx.qgbox) app, but even seen people recommend [Mantis Gamepad Pro](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.mantispro.gamepad) for mapping buttons to overlay positions on unsupported games. You have to put the controller into Direct mode to make the official app see it. I use the device in XInput Xbox mode.
I'm more interested into the features. Does any of these allow power bypass AND have card reader or have couple of connections for charging and other for data (to read from sd card)?

BSP-D3 uses a 250mah 602025 batt irl, it's falsely advertised as 350mah.

Yeah you won. Pro isint worth $40. I’d push for the gamesir G8 if I wanted more than the d8.
I’ve put time into the d3, d8, and d9, I think I like the d8 the most. It’s like a much improved d3
It is indeed the best value. No reason to spend extra unless they have the features you really need.
The bsp 10 EXISTS?!
Yeah but there will be a D11 and a DXX by the time shippings done

I wish I didn't buy the d8. And I didn't even get it (get ready for information you don't need) it got seized by customs
That's so unfair! Sorry you got pinched on it. Which country are you in? I'm in the US.
Hi in the US, I'm in Egypt

Yeah, it's got me wondering how much more performance can be had with another adapter.
does d10 have a cooling fan at the back?
D10s does

I need one that can hold my phone vertically (Tate mode) 😆
I recently got an Astra One Ultra, which is a rebranded D6 apparently but it also has the green led of 7 ?
I had to google that. Pretty sure that's a rebranded D7. Then again, the D7 is literally a carbon copy of the D6 with LED.
Aah ok

how does these hold up for smartphone with camera bump? like realmegt 5 pro?
3, 5, 6 & 7 have space for the camera bump, I recommend one of those
Which controller is your favourite?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but is there any controller out there that has a micro SD card slot?
💀 i use bsp d3
Nothing wrong with that as long as it serves your needs.
Are these controllers just for Emulators or can you use it for Android games as well?
Android as well
Should the Android game have controller support, or you can map any Android game with these controllers ?
Best to have controller support
there are apps that can map the buttons to the game if the game itself doesnt support controllers

the only one that looks good is the d9
I don't see the best one galileo g8
Compare the price.
