I like playing games since I was a child. Since FC, I have been exposed to all kinds of game consoles. Of course, mobile games of all ages are not wrong. But in the era of smart touch-screen mobile phones, they are not very popular with those touch-screen phones. They always feel that the game mode of rubbing fingers on the screen is boring, and the sense of operation when playing games is less than the joystick and physical keys.

Fortunately, with the development of technology, the external handle of smart phone devices has also been born. Today, let's try this new toy - Sirui Stratus XL!

1 - Unpacking

It is better to recite sony Dafa in your heart

A water apple device.

It is supported from the earliest iPhone 5 to the latest iPhone 6+.  

But what about the iPad air2, which is listed between the iPad air and the iPhone 6+???   

Don't you support it? In the end, the actual test is still supported. I guess I forgot to write it when printing!

2 - Appearance comparison

Key position design: the overall appearance is like the xbox handle. The X, Y, A, B keys on the right are named the same as the xbox, but the position design of L and cross is the same as the ps handle. Is it a hybrid product.

I rotated the picture for everyone to see.

On the back of the battery compartment, there is a large logo of Siri and a physical switch button of the handle.

Personally, I like this switch. Neither the Xbox nor the PS series handle has a physical switch. If you want to turn off the handle, you must operate it on the mainframe, which is very troublesome.

I don't understand why I use No. 7 battery. No. 7 battery is very expensive.

In terms of size, it is larger than the xbox and ps system handles.

It is estimated that the prototype is designed according to the xbox handle, so the appearance is almost the same.

Feeling: just like the xbox 360, it is very substantial and will not be tired after holding it for a long time;

L key and cross position: Compared with 360, it is far away, but currently there is no game planned to use L and direction keys together, so it is OK.

Key feedback: Sirui's keys are particularly hard to press, especially the LR rocker, which is significantly tighter than 360's It's very tired. Personally, I don't like this kind of dynamic feedback very much.

Grasping feeling: the grip is more substantial than the PS4 handle, but its weight is heavier than the PS4 handle;

L key and cross position: (copy the text in the upper paragraph ）At present, there is no game for L and arrow keys in the mobile game plan, so it's OK.

Key feedback: very hard, very hard, really hard. The rocker of the PS4 can be broken to the end with a light break. The rocker of Serui needs some effort to break to the end. I still like the feeling of softness.

Others: The L and R keys of Sirui do not support pressing. Many of Sirui's keys have too many functions for current mobile games. It is not necessary to add the L and R pressing functions.

3 - Connecting equipment

Turn on the handle switch, iPad Bluetooth switch, select Sirui, and the connection will be successful in a few seconds.

After the first successful connection, I was prompted to download some software from the app store. I made the next one and felt that it was an introduction to Sirui's products and had nothing to do with the use of the handle... Resolutely delete.

4 - Feeling of actual use

After the game Shadow Blade is turned on, the handle automatically recognizes. After entering the game, the virtual joystick on the screen disappears, and you can use the joystick directly (including the title menu screen, you can also use the joystick).

This game was bought at a special price of 1 yuan at that time. It has a strong sense of attack and action. You can feel the sense of attack very well when using the touch screen operation, but sometimes you will misoperate when using the touch screen operation, especially when playing with a large screen device such as the iPad.

Using the handle for operation can be said to improve the game operation by N levels! I'm so happy.

I tried the edge of hell and had a very good experience.

After entering the game, the handle is recognized directly, and the happy game starts.

After several rounds of wild racing 8, there was no frame drop or operation delay after connecting the handle. It was much easier to play than using the screen!

It does not need both hands to block the track on the screen, and it also avoids the misoperation caused by the virtual rocker. The biggest advantage is that the LR key can simulate the reality of accelerator and brake

However, the handle does not support vibration. It would be better if it could support vibration in case of vehicle collision!

--------------------------------------------------

Later, we tested the legendary swordsman 5, modern war 4, Lego is full of heroes, and none of them supports handle operation... What a pity...

View the list of games supported by Sirui, support modern war 5, download decisively!  

After entering the game, you can directly identify the handle. The operation mode is the same as that of the home computer. B is squatting, R2 is firing, and LR is moving and viewing angle operation, so that the host player can quickly start.

Then, the problem comes...

It was said before that the LR key of Sirui is so hard that it takes some strength to shake the LR key.

After experiencing 1 level of modern war 5, all kinds of war are not practical. When the rocker is slightly forced, the rocker will not move and the centering will not move; The rocker force is too strong, and the rocker is straight to the end. As a result, the crosshairs will move 90 ° each time they aim, causing three soldiers to die three times at the beginning of the game.

The war machine, call of mission, garden war and other fps games on the home computer are played with the handle, and I am very comfortable with them... The feeling of Serui playing fps can only be described as bad

I hope the manufacturer can adjust the strength of the rocker in the following products.

Others: The A key of Sirui is to confirm, and the B key is to cancel, which is the same as the operation habits of many European and American games.

5 - Summary

advantage:

The connection is very convenient and fast;  

The grip is full, the weight is moderate, and the grip will not be tired after a long time;  

There is no delay or frame drop in the game. The operation is very smooth, and the experience is great!  

Insufficient:

It's expensive to use No. 7 battery;

LR dual rocker is too tight, playing FPS games is a nightmare..  

If you don't focus on playing fps games and like to play games with a controller, you can consider buying a Sirui.
