Ritmix GP-030BTH

Multiplatform gamepad

It's hard to compete with Sony, Microsoft and Logitech in their field, so second-tier gamepad manufacturers have to attract potential buyers in their own way. In the case of Ritmix GP-030BTH, this is an attractive price tag and multiplatform: the gamepad is able to work with smartphones, tablets and TV boxes based on Android, smartphones and tablets based on iOS and PC on Windows. Moreover, to work with smartphones, the kit includes a special mount that holds the handset over the gamepad, like in the Nvidia Shield.

Classic DualShock Shapes

In terms of design, the GP-030BTH follows the classic outlines of the DualShock: symmetrical “horns”, a pair of identical sticks in the centre, a D-pad on the left, the main block of buttons on the right and four triggers / shifts. However if the standard gamepads from Sony adhere to strict colours, then the GP-030BTH is a riot of red colours and cut aggressive lines. Against the background of plain gamepads, it looks at least interesting, although not for everyone. In terms of convenience in games, there are no complaints about it, although the buttons could be made quieter. If you play in the evening in silence, then from the side it may seem that you are typing text on the keyboard.

For PC battles

The whole point of the GP-030BTH lies in its relationship with Windows: it is formally claimed as a PC gamepad, but for some reason some games refuse to accept it. For example, in GTA 5 and Injustice 2, he immediately picked up, and Pro Evolution Soccer 2019 did not perceive him, which is why he had to install additional crutches to imitate the Xbox 360 gamepad.
