I'm not sure when it started, but many Xbox consoles appeared in city shopping malls. I've tried them a few times before to pass the time. Microsoft's Xbox platform offers a wide variety of games, whether it's popular adventure games or traditional competitive games, you can find abundant resources. However, installing an Xbox console at home is not only about purchasing the console itself but also requires a television as a companion, which is quite tempting but also troublesome. However, with the continuous improvement of mobile phone performance and the technological innovation of mobile game controllers, today I'm going to recommend a game controller - the Nubia RedMagic Shadow Blade Game Handle Gamepad.

Upon opening it, I found that the controller storage pouch had a great texture and felt very comfortable. This way, I can easily take out the controller from the pouch when I'm out and about. The RedMagic Shadow Blade Game Handle Gamepad has a sleek and simple design. When not in use, it's only 184mmΧ85mmΧ37mm in size and weighs 179g. It can easily fit into your pocket or be stored in the provided pouch, making it very portable. The controller has extendable dual-side handles, suitable for phones with a length of 110-179mm, which covers most mainstream phones on the market. The layout of the left and right buttons is very similar to the Nintendo Switch, so there's no need to spend time adapting and learning.

The controller features a Japanese original ALPS esports-grade joystick with a built-in automatic calibration chip. It also includes G-TOUCH and screenshot buttons, with an integrated D-pad below the left joystick. The middle part has a large area of semi-enclosed anti-slip silicone, with carefully designed textures on top, giving it a high-tech feel. The sides are also protected by thick silicone, with an angled design to prevent the phone from slipping out accidentally. On the right side, in addition to the joystick, there are ABXY function buttons with good tactile feedback. The RedMagic Shadow Blade Game Handle Gamepad has an active Type-C power supply interface on the right side, which can be adjusted up and down by 51°. I think this adjustable angle is great because it makes it convenient for players to install their phones. Once the phone is inserted into the game controller, the Type-C interface can directly use the phone's power supply.

The RedMagic Shadow Blade Game Handle Gamepad adopts the Xbox button layout, with two shoulder buttons and two trigger buttons at the top. The triggers use Hall effect linear triggers, which provide precise feedback through electromagnetic sensing. When performing fine operations, the triggers can provide accurate feedback down to the slightest press. This becomes particularly useful when executing combos or special moves, as the subtle changes can give us a sense of anticipation for what the character will do next. Players who appreciate good tactile feedback will be fascinated by this experience, as the controller truly brings a gaming experience similar to esports. When playing shooter games, pressing the triggers enables rapid shooting, and the feedback after pressing them feels even more realistic. In racing games, the Hall effect linear triggers can also provide a realistic sense of acceleration, offering a perfect immersive gaming experience.

After enabling mapping, I tried playing the game "Genshin Impact." Since most of the keybindings in the game are fixed, players can use the official recommended configuration. The only difference is that some characters have four skills, so players need to map an additional function button. In terms of gameplay, the RedMagic Shadow Blade Game Handle Gamepad's button operations are very smooth. For heroes like Fischl who can attack while moving, it feels very smooth throughout. The only aspect that players need to adapt to is the release of directional skills. Previously, we would drag and release skills on the touchscreen, but now we need to click the skill button and move the joystick to release them, requiring coordination between both hands. In games like "Genshin Impact," where it's a 3D game, the right joystick comes in handy. The RedMagic Shadow Blade Game Handle Gamepad uses a Japanese original ALPS joystick, and its smoothness is unmatched by other controllers. The joystick has a built-in chip that automatically calibrates the joystick's direction, solving the problem of joystick drift caused by dust accumulation in other controllers over prolonged use. The joystick has a certain amount of damping, and the rebound feel is excellent, balancing precision and speed, making it very enjoyable to use. It allows for easy switching of perspectives or quickly returning to the default perspective, with the left joystick used for movement in combination with the ABXY buttons for basic attacks or skill releases, and the shoulder buttons for switching characters. The experience is truly satisfying. Especially in more challenging dungeons, the RedMagic Shadow Blade Game Handle Gamepad surpasses screen controls in terms of the player experience.

Next, I tried playing the game "PUBG Mobile." Since it uses the Japanese original ALPS joystick, the directional control feels very comfortable and allows for precise aiming. The four function buttons provide strong feedback, offering an immersive shooting experience in the game. How could we easily miss those intense chicken dinner moments in the game? By clicking the screenshot button on the bottom left of the RedMagic Shadow Blade Game Handle Gamepad, you can take a screenshot with just one button press, easily sharing it with friends and earning their envy. The RedMagic Shadow Blade Game Handle Gamepad also has another feature, which is the ability to play various retro games like GBA, FC, SFC, and more. What surprised me the most is that it also supports games like PS1 and PSP. By downloading emulators, you can experience a variety of classic masterpieces on your phone. Games like "Resident Evil 2" and "Metal Gear Solid" are perfect for retro game enthusiasts to enjoy.

Overall, the RedMagic Shadow Blade Game Handle Gamepad is a sincere work. It features interchangeable magnetic buttons and a Type-C interface, which allows for plug-and-play with no delay. The Japanese original ALPS joystick and Hall effect linear triggers greatly enhance the gaming experience. The RedMagic Shadow Blade Game Handle Gamepad is definitely a game controller you shouldn't miss this year!
