Too Goods Mobile Game Controller (Unofficially) Versus Ytuomzi Mobile Game Controller Review

I decided to try something just a little different today. I have these two mobile controllers that I received together. After trying them out and putting them to the test, I came to the conclusion that I could do an unofficial versus competition here. There are no losers, just friendly comparison!

Of course, I'd like to thank my friends at Too Goods, who provided both controllers. This is our second endeavor together, and I love working with them. Hopefully, this is just the start! Please visit the Too Goods Storefront, if you're interested in purchasing one or both controllers. They also have a great selection of different products, so check 'em out! If you'd like to email their support services, or want to join their VIP club, write them at tgsupport@163.com . Time for the review!



Too Goods Mobile Game Controller With Cooling Fan vs. Ytuomzi Adjustable Mobile Controller Pads

The Unpacking:

These both came in their own respective packaging, in one Amazon box for shipping. There were no tears, rips, markings, or damage to speak of. Once again, the packaging is colorful and bright. I know things like packaging don't seem that important, but personally I think it shows the care that a company puts into it's products. In my picture, the Too Goods cooling controller is on the right, and the Ytuomzi pads are on the left. They both came with a set of easy to follow instructions regarding affixing the products to a smartphone or tablet. The Too Goods one was on a sheet of paper in the box, and the Ytuomzi one was written on the back of the box. They also instruct you on how to adjust your game settings to accommodate the controller. The instructions are specifically for PUBG, as that's how these are both advertised, but they work the same for any other game with controller compatibility. Nothing was missing, all extra parts accounted for.

Handling It Post-Unpacking:

Something that was apparent to me after unpacking these controllers and all components, was that these are two very different designs and should be used in different situations.

The Too Goods is one piece with spring action to adjust to IOS or Android sizes 4.7 inches to 6.5 inches. It features a cooling fan that can be charged with an included USB cable. It came partially charged, so I didn't need the cable when I tested it. If you game a whole lot and want to make sure the fan doesn't stop, I would suggest keeping it plugged in. The color scheme here is very appealing to me. It makes it more fun! The package included rubber nubs to replace the ones on the controller, if need be.

The Ytuomzi pads are a different beast. They can be used for any IOS or Android size and shape. They have a padding to place your device in between the holders that clip. They also lock into place on the back. The color scheme here is also pretty pleasing. The black and red makes this choice more sleek, and with separate controllers, this is definitely more customizable. I would suggest these if you don't game as long, as there is no fan. The package included rubber nubs to replace the ones on the controller, if need be.

General Usability and Accessibility (The Important Stuff):

This portion is where these two really diverge. First off, the Too Goods is really only going to work with a smartphone, or possibly a phablet. The Ytuomzi was best with my tablet, because I have a case and screen protector on my phone, and that made my phone too wide to fit in the holders. Also, since the tablet has a bigger screen, the functionality of the Ytuomzi made the screen settings a breeze. Just as long as I placed them along the edges.

I chose to play Unkilled which is free on the Google Play store, and I'm unsure whether it is also available on IOS. I chose this game mainly because I felt a first-person shooter would be the best way to display the abilities of both controllers. Also, I found this to be more preferable for myself as it can be played alone, and it is a much smaller download size than PUBG.




The Too Goods was the best choice for my phone, as it heats up much quicker than my tablet and the fan did not disappoint. It kept my phone cool, and was much quieter than I expected. Like I said, I didn't need the cable, so I can't attest to the quality of the cable. It's just a standard USB cable, so I'm sure it would be more than capable of being up for the task, if needed to be used longer. The feel of this controller is plastic, but with some substance. It's comfortable, and I have no doubt it would hold up during a marathon. It easily locked my phone into place, and I felt confident that it would hold it. The one caveat to it being one piece is that I had a bit of a hard time programming both triggers. Luckily, I really only needed to program the gun control, so my thumbs sufficed for the zoom and move functions. The triggers worked spectacularly, and made the game feel way more immersible. I'm a console player, so this was like old hat for me.

The Ytuomzi was the best choice for my tablet, as the pieces can be put anywhere on the sides of the device and I didn't need to cool my tablet down, as it's pretty well equipped for that on it's own. The pads here are much more portable and customizable. Also, without the need for an external apparatus (i.e. USB cable), it has less baggage and feels more convenient in some cases. This set also has a plastic feeling, but the padding in between the holders is a quality rubber that I was confident in putting the tablet into. The pads have buttons on the back, and click the device into place. I could have gone either way with locking or not, but I err on the side of caution and locked it in. This set was also comfortable, and could be up to the task of a long term session. Again, the pads are more convenient for moving around, so I had less trouble programming the triggers. I was able to program the gun trigger and the zoom trigger. Although, the zoom trigger is kind of pointless as you would need to use a d-pad or your fingers to adjust the view and your character's position. The triggers worked just as great as the previous controller, and again made the game more accessible to a console player.

Overall Thoughts and Final Rating:

I had a hard time coming up with a winner, like one would in a real versus situation. Both controllers have their strengths, and it really comes down to personal gaming preferences. If you want that more immersive experience that I feel consoles or PCs give, I would definitely recommend either of these for a more mobile situation.

The Too Goods controller is a great choice for a phone, and a phone that heats up quickly. This is definitely a marathon controller. Also, if your phone is hot, just using this as a holder is a good choice too. It's a multitasker!

The Ytuomzi controller set is a great choice for a tablet, and a device that doesn't have temperature issues. This is better for your normal amount of playing on a mobile device. The stand out here is the diversity in programming positions. If you have a certain way you'd want your game set up, this is your controller.

Both controllers get 5 stars! They can be used for specific devices, and if you own several, like I do, you can't go wrong with either, or both! I'll definitely be utilizing these in my gaming. I've never played a first-person shooter on a mobile device before, but I think the time is right for these controllers. With better graphics, and better devices, it's a lot less frustrating to personalize settings and get the optimal experience we all want.
