Ritmix GP-030BTH

Multiplatform gamepad

Competing with Sony, Microsoft and Logitech on their field is difficult, so manufacturers of second-tier gamepads have to attract potential buyers in their own way. In the case of Ritmix GP-030BTH, this is an attractive price tag and multi-platform: the gamepad can work with smartphones, tablets and TV boxes based on Android, with smartphones and tablets based on iOS and PCs on Windows. Moreover, for working with smartphones, the kit includes a special mount that holds the handset above the gamepad, like in Nvidia Shield.

Classic DualShock shapes

In terms of design, the GP-030BTH follows the classic DualShock outline: symmetrical "horns", a pair of identical sticks in the center, a D-pad on the left, the main block of buttons on the right, and four triggers/shifts. However, if standard Sony gamepads adhere to strict colors, the GP-030BTH is a riot of red colors and cut aggressive lines. Against the background of monochromatic 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, it may seem from the outside that you are typing text on the keyboard.

For battles on PC

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