glap Play p/1 Dual Shock Wireless Game Controller for Android and Windows. Mobile Gamepad Black with 4 Paddles.

Dang this thing is amazing. When you open it there's this big bulletproof-style case that is absolutely huge and does an amazing job to protect the controller. It will never, ever get hurt. The molding to hold it in the case is perfect, and it is not some cheap foam like in the Xbox Elite Controller case. This stuff is solid, inside and out. The case is like a suit of armor. It might look like a Razer or Microsoft case that you get a new controller in, but it's made of such better material. It's probably worth $50 alone, at least $30, if you add tax and shipping it would cost a lot to buy a case like this separate.The controller itself is great. I have pretty large hands myself but I didn't have any problems with it, unlike the other reviewer. The hand grips are beefy and utterly massive. It's designed with the same form factor as the Nintendo Switch, but it does everything better. This controller had somewhere between 1 billion and 2 billion times more thought put into it than Nintendo did with the switch. Instead of it being flat and hard to hold for really intense FPS gaming (I have to use a very intense claw grip with the Switch and push hard into it with my fingers to hold it steady) the massive hand rests on either side of this controller are designed to help prop up the system and keep it stable for you.LOL, I said system, because it makes your phone really feel like a game system. I'm gonna leave it in.One of my biggest complaints with Chinese manufacturers of game controllers is the shoulder buttons are always these thin, tiny little afterthoughts. They're like the size of fingernails. Even the ROG Phone II Kunai controllers, which I also have, use these thin credit-card-thickness buttons that are really shrimpy. The glap totally dominates with these massive juicy analog triggers, and massive shoulder buttons that are literally the biggest I've ever seen on a controller.Of course, the buttons and D-Pad are great, and the analog sticks look almost exactly like the Xbox Elite Controller. I really can't complain, and I don't know how anyone would get off saying that these are cheap. These are amazing buttons, easily better than the stock Xbox or Playstation controller. And because the hand grips help hold the system right in front of your eyes, you get an amazing experience for your eyes without straining your hands.It's difficult to describe but the grips and the way the buttons are placed are easily the most amazing thing about this. When I play my Switch I always want to hold it very close to my face so I can make out pixel details, like for sniper shots. But if I hold it that close my fingers bend in really unnatural ways and it's harder to press the buttons. THE GLAP FIXES THIS. It reinvents this kind of controller so it's as in your face as possible while still being able to easily press the buttons.If you hold your phone or game system down in your lap when you're playing with a telescoping-style controller like this one, you might say "I don't get it" and never notice the difference. But if you like laying down in bed and holding the system above your eyes, or if you sit and prop your elbows on arm rests and hold the system close to your face, you will immediately notice that it's closer, bigger, more "there". The design and the way your hands are placed kinda shoves the content front-and-center, haha. It's a grand experience the first time, you know something is different about the experience compared to other controllers, and then you start to notice everything feels more alive, and then you realize it's because of the amazing ergonomics and research that went into this device.Also, special shout-out for the home and power keys. You have to push them harder than the other buttons, and they're different shapes, and they're firmer. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY THIS IS THE ONLY CONTROLLER THAT DOES THAT. Why isn't it hard to press the Start button on a PS4? Why is it so easy to slip and hit the Menu button on Xbox? Why don't they need a firmer touch? Well, no worries, those buttons are very hard to accidentally press on the glap. That's the way it always should have been, to me.As far as I can tell from looking at glap's Korean site, they literally *are* Samsung. This literally is an official Samsung controller. I'm not sure why they're so shy about it and don't just call it the Samsung Glap in the USA, because that's the way it is on the Korean site. Either way, Samsung was brave enough to put its name on this product in at least some of the markets where it sells this, and that's relevant information that is useful to know.Basically this feels like someone with an actual brain, who was actually trying, was paid to reinvent the game controller. They were given instructions, like it had to have the same basic buttons and be compatible with existing games. But other than that, go wild. And this is what they came up with. It really really feels like a new take on game controllers in general, if you're willing to look how it's special.If you want to feel bad about your purchase, then you will probably feel bad stuff about it. But if you want to feel good about it, you will see good things. For me this is NOT a $50 controller that costs $100. It's a $150 controller and a $50 case that costs $100. It's a steal and I think you should buy it before it stops being made.

I've only received my glap today, but I already put it to use. I plugged it in immediately to charge, and quickly realized that for some reason, it turns on when plugged in. So I paired it, it was quite easy. When it paired my phone briefly flashed a message on screen that I would "need an app to use this device" and I was a bit worried. However, I opened up PPSSPP and everything just worked. I did decide to tweak the controller settings for my preference, but I could have simply played as it was. Other subsequent games with controller support also worked.While the controller is pretty large, I actually found myself thinking that it would be more comfortable to use if my hands weren't also gigantic. Bummer for me. It is however, much more comfortable than switch joycons, which seem to be the design choice of the day for mobile controllers. Personally, my controller of choice is the Dual Shock PlayStation controller, I use DS4's which I like the most of the series, though I haven't tried DS5s yet. This is not on that level of comfort for me.In particular, the positioning of the analog sticks being on the outside rather than the inside is a downgrade Basically, you have to lift your thumb up and out from the controller to get to the sticks, whereas with the DS4 controllers, you move your thumbs to the side and down, which is the natural motion of your hand if you rotate the wrist, so it's quite a comfortable move with the DS4. The sticks themselves are very responsive, with a satisfying level of resistance that allows for superior control. I may actually like the operation of these sticks more than the DS4 sticks. The caps on the sticks are concave, which is also another "in" design choice that I hate, It was a bit uncomfortable on my thumbs, but it's the kind that I know will go away as I grow accustomed to how the controller should optimally be held.The face buttons are very satisfying to use and remind me a great deal of the original xbox controller face buttons. The triggers are quite good, and since I've always preferred to use my middle finger for triggers and my pointer for bumpers, I actually really appreciate the size and placement they have. There is a tactile click feeling when pressing the bumpers that I rather like, and the triggers feel smooth and were responsive in the games I played.Having the start AND the select on the left side of the controller is super weird, though I suppose it does make it much easier to avoid accidentally hitting the home or power buttons on the controller. Many android games make use of the back button in their menu controls, and I found myself wishing the controller included one.The mechanism for holding the phone is legit. It has no noticeable give while in use, and the phone doesn't move around at all within it. While you aren't going to do it on accident, it's easy to pull the grip open, and it locks in the open position which makes it easy to position the phone to begin using it. I am storing the controller in the open position when not in use, as the mechanism seems plenty durable, so it seems convenient to have one fewer step when I want to use the controller. When you're ready to use it, you position the phone, and on the back of the left handle there is a button to unlock the mechanism. It's large and really easy to locate by feel, but it isn't going to be hit accidentally most likely as it has a lot of resistance, and it's location is in the cavity formed by the grip and the controller.The material it's made out of is plastic, but it doesn't seem like it has any particularly weak locations on it. You probably could snap the central mechanism if you used enough force, but you'd really have to want to, or drive over it with a car maybe.It feels light for its mass, but I wouldn't say it's weightless.The provided usb-c charging cable seemed to be relatively well made, although it's not a braided cable, and it's shorter than what I use. There was no accompanying power brick, but the manual does specify not to use it with voltages other than 5v, which is the industry standard and what computers will output. So don't throw it on your Qi charger or your Samsung fast charger, probably.The case is actually really nice quality wise, but realistically I don't think I'll use it. Maybe if I store it in my car?All in all, a great buy. I'm very happy with it.
