Cyber Gamepad or Shadow Blade Gamepad 2: Which REDMAGIC Gaming Companion Do You Need?

Gaming has always been a popular pastime for most of the world since its inception. However, it can be a seriously demanding task for those in competitive leagues, streamers, or those simply looking to elevate their skills. This means you need the best tools in your inventory to push your game to the next level. 

REDMAGIC has consistently provided innovative and inspired gaming devices that allow you to break limits and expand your mobile gaming experience. Two major contenders in this arena are the Cyber Gamepad and Shadow Blade Gamepad 2 – both of which exude performance agility and convenience. 

However, not every device is the ideal fit for every gamer. In this blog, we take a look at each of these devices and give you a rundown of which REDMAGIC gaming accessory suits your needs the best.

Unlimited Action: The REDMAGIC Cyber Gamepad

The REDMAGIC Cyber Gamepad is the ultimate wireless gamepad beast – pushing out a 1000Hz polling rate for undiluted performance and freedom. The dual trigger system allows gamers to switch seamlessly between micro-switch and linear triggers for perfect control across any genre – from FPS games to racing. 

Connect wirelessly via Bluetooth 5.3, receiver, or wired modes - each ensuring a stable and lag-free gaming experience. With customizable macros, key remapping, and advanced settings, this gamepad is built to help you dominate and is compatible with Switch, Android, iOS, PC, and Steam. 

Advanced algorithms and electromagnetic sensing from the custom hall effect joystick and durable POM wear-resistant ring also help with accuracy to help you stay on target. The gamepad’s hall-effect joystick feature ensures zero drift, while six-axis motion sensing delivers immersive gameplay. Rapid-fire settings can also be easily adjusted at your fingertips with shortcut keys that keep you one step ahead in every match.

The controller also comes with a sleek aluminum alloy charging dock to keep you powered up and ready to go. To match its unique style, the gamepad also comes with RGB lighting and the iconic transparent cyberpunk aesthetic synonymous with REDMAGIC. The ergonomic design further ensures a comfortable fit in your hands. 

With an 860mAh battery and close to 15 hours of battery life, the REDMAGIC Cyber Gamepad is designed to keep up with long, grueling gaming sessions. The REDMAGIC Cyber Gamepad can be used with PCs, smartphones, or consoles – providing the ideal device for gamers who don’t want to be restricted. 

Experience the Epic: The REDMAGIC Shadow Blade Gamepad 2

On the other hand, the Shadow Blade Gamepad 2 takes no prisoners with its rapid power and unique design to give users the ultimate console gaming experience with their phone. Seamlessly switch to handheld mode with zero latency and choose between dual hall line triggers to get the accuracy and responsiveness you need for different games.

This gamepad also features two programmable back buttons for customized gameplay that match your usage habits – allowing you to win more games, your way. The Shadow Blade Gamepad 2 further uses a charge separation feature that allows you to safely charge your phone while gaming, protecting your battery and ensuring that the victories never end. It also comes with a comfortable grip and a swappable magnetic gamepad shell to customize as you see fit. 

The gamepad is equipped with an adjustable Type-C port for a wired connection that ensures no lag and latency – allowing users to enjoy fast transmission speeds and optimal stability in every game. This feature also means that the gamepad is compatible with all types of phones.

However, REDMAGIC gaming phones in particular provide the ultimate gaming console experience with the Shadow Blade Gamepad 2. Using the Gravity-X platform on your REDMAGIC phone, you can seamlessly run demanding 3A games with higher graphics on a larger screen. Reviewers have also paired the REDMAGIC Shadow Blade Gamepad 2 with the REDMAGIC 10 Pro to reach the ultimate console experience that combines power and agility.  

According to Catherine Dellosa, the REDMAGIC Shadow Blade Gamepad 2 “appears to be, at first glance, the ultimate peripheral every mobile gamer should have in their arsenal.” She notes that the chunkiness of the gamepad made gaming for hours on end easier – stating that the controller feels more comfortable than her DualShock 4.

She also enjoyed the satisfying click of the buttons, the soft shoulder triggers, and the tactile response which “add to the enjoyment factor of every game session.”  She also liked that the Hall Effect Sticks offer anti-drift functionality, ensuring that the gamepad won't be worn down quickly. The one-size-fits-all adjustable bridge was a nice touch too for Dellosa as she could easily fit even a foldable phone into the gamepad and end up with a bigger screen.

So, Which Gamepad Should You Choose?

The REMAGIC Cyber Gamepad and Shadow Blade Gamepad 2 both have so much to offer when it comes to elevating your gameplay. Each gamepad provides a convenient, agile, and powerhouse performance that seamlessly enhances your experience. While the choice ultimately lies with you and your preference, we might suggest a more calculated approach to choosing between these heavyweights.

While both gamepads are ideal for mobile gaming phones, the REDMAGIC Cyber Gamepad is more compatible with gamers who might also want to use a PC or console setup. Users should also note that while the Cyber Gamepad is compatible with PC, Steam, Switch, Android, and iOS, it is unfortunately not compatible with Xbox and PS5 consoles. 

However, the Cyber Gamepad is still a brilliant gaming accessory for competitive gamers interested in elevating their skills. Some of the main games compatible with the Cyber Gamepad include:

Alternatively, you could opt for the REDMAGIC Shadow Blade Gamepad 2 which is compatible with almost every smartphone around – including most Android devices and the iPhone 15 series.

The Shadow Blade Gamepad 2’s pass-through charging feature also makes it ideal for gamers who might need extended gaming sessions and allows you to charge your phone while playing so you never run out of battery. 

The gamepad supports virtually cloud-based gaming services including Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation Remote PLAY, Steam Link, and MFi Apple Arcade. Users can also play hundreds of controller-enabled games such as Call of Duty, Roblox, Fortnite, Genshin Impact, Minecraft and so much more.
