After weeks of testing the Koiiko D8 Pro with my iPad Pro 12.9", I'm impressed by how this little powerhouse bridges multiple platforms. The Hall Effect joysticks give that satisfying magnetic resistance you'd expect from premium controllers, and the linear triggers make racing games feel surprisingly immersive.
What surprised me most was the seamless switching - one minute I'm playing COD Mobile on my iPad, the next I'm streaming Xbox games to my Android tablet without re-pairing. The 10-hour battery life held true during my weekend gaming marathon, though I did wish the USB-C port supported passthrough charging.
The detachable magnetic sticks became a love-hate relationship. While awesome for storage, I nearly lost one during an intense Mortal Kombat session. Pro tip: Keep them attached with a dab of museum putty if you're clumsy like me. For cloud gaming, this controller outperformed my Razer Kishi, especially with GeForce Now's touch mapping feature.
Is it perfect? No. The plastic feels slightly cheaper than an Xbox Elite, and heavier tablets (like my friend's Lenovo Y700) cause minor hand fatigue. But for under $60, the cross-platform versatility makes this my go-to travel controller - it even fit my iPhone 15 Pro Max in its chunky case. Just don't expect DualSense haptics at this price point.
