Had my Gamesir G6 controller for over 6 months now and have been using it with no issues. Now I’ve updated to iOS 13.4 it is no longer working and I am unable to downgrade back to iOS 13.3.1 as this is now unsigned.
The device connects via Bluetooth as normal but I don’t get any touchscreen inputs when trying to use the controller. Please fix this Bluetooth peripheral issue as I’m sure this is effecting many other peripheral devices
Yes! That’s one HUGE bandaid I’d be completely ok with while this gets hashed out
Agree.. this has been a lesson hard learned but for myself but will definitely be my new norm
Will it work with gamesir x1?
I wish. Due lockdown am unable to get it.
Hi SujoyV, I tried. It does not help.
It is not available for G5 only for G6.
Am using G5. Let me try this.
I tried and it does not work.
Am using G5 and tried on both iPad with iOS 13 and iPhone with iOS 14 beta.
Btw, which is the best gamepad for iPad? I want to use for playing pubg.
Ios13.6 with support is released but yet my G5 is not working!!! It feels so frustrated.
Switch back to android buddy
The problem is the ios13.4 update.
my gamesir g6 pairs perfectly with the phone so it’s not a Bluetooth problem.
then I tried to pair it with a iPhone 8 Plus phone that did not update iOS to 13.4 and everything works perfectly. But when I paired it to my iPhone 8 Plus with iOS 13.4.1, the game controller does not work. Most likely because Apple took away the function of letting Bluetooth mapping of screen. So Apple, you need to fix this issue or let people back track to the previous iOS 13.3.x.
I tried with another controller that uses the same mapping function and it does not work as well.
Hi Joseph,
As mentioned above, it's been over a month of the 13.4 update, and the new 13.4.1 is now here, but we haven't heard any updates on the Bluetooth touchscreen mapping functionality lost with the new iOS. Gamesir has mentioned that their controllers will not work due to Apple closing the Bluetooth touch screen interface. Same thing happened to any controller using the ShootingPlus V3 app. I, like everyone else using these type of controllers, am waiting for a response on the matter. A response that was promised on the first, and only, reply.
I just don't think it makes sense for any user to have to avoid doing an update on their Apple products because some of their tools won't work again.
We'll be expecting an answer to this.
Thank you.
I’ve signed up to the iOS public beta and the bug/issue is still present in iOS 13.5... surely this is affecting people who use devices for touchscreen accessibility issues as well, not just controllers
Hey Tom has Apple replied to you at all with this issue?? I am having the same problem and I’m ******. None of the Apple Tech guys no what to do which is so very sad. A billion dollar company can’t fix the smallest problem 🤦🏽♂️.
Gamesir controller no longer working after iOS 13.4 update
