yo, honestly i get the struggle. the Ace 5 is a beast but that camera bump is no joke. basically, if ur controller doesnt sit flush, the wobble is gonna drive u crazy in CoD Mobile lol. in my experience, the bridge design is key because it determines how the phone weight is distributed. here is what i recommend: * GameSir G8 Galileo USB-C Mobile Gaming Controller: honestly, this is the winner. it has a pivoting USB-C connector so the bump doesnt force it at a weird angle. it is a bit chunky in a backpack but those Hall Effect sticks are literally perfect for sniping.
* Razer Kishi V2 for Android: better for portability. you might have to pop out the rubber inserts to get it to sit flat tho. just a heads up, pass-through charging wont hit the full OnePlus speeds, but it keeps u powered. the G8 handles the size of the Ace 5 way better imo. good luck!

yo, the Ace 5 is such an *absolute beast*!! honestly love that high-refresh screen, but i totally get the anxiety about that camera module... it is massive. quick question before i give my full advice—what kind of case are you rocking?? is it the thin one in the box or something beefier? it makes a huge difference for the fit and i dont want you scratching that lens! im super cautious about stress on the port, especially with the weight. i've been looking at budget-friendly gems like the GameSir X2s Type-C which is a total steal at around $45 and way less bulky than the G8 you were eyeing. the pass-through charging wont hit those insane SuperVOOC speeds tho; most only handle standard PD. let me know about that case first so we can check if it'll sit flush... wouldnt wanna steer you wrong! lol

Honestly, have you thought about just doing a little DIY fix instead of stressing over finding the perfect factory fit for that Ace 5 bump? I’m still pretty new to mobile gaming gear, but I found that you can basically just buy some cheap adhesive foam pads to create a custom shim. You just stick a small piece on the controller grip opposite the camera side and it levels everything out perfectly so it doesnt feel wobbly at all! I’ve been looking at the GameSir X3 Type-C because that built-in cooling fan is sooooo good for keeping the phone chill during Genshin sessions. If the fit feels a bit tight with your case, I've heard you can actually DIY-trim the rubber liners inside the controller with a craft knife to give it more space? It sounds a bit scary to mod your own stuff, but it seems like a reallyyy helpful way to get a snug fit without spending a fortune. I mean, it worked for my friend's setup so maybe it's worth a shot if you're worried about the camera clearance?

yo, honestly i feel u on this. the Ace 5 is such a beast but that camera bump is basically a mountain on the back lol. im still kinda new to the competitive scene too, but i've been super worried about breaking my charging port or scratching the lens, so i've been lookin into the safety side of these things. For your situation, here's what i recommend considering the safety of ur phone and that massive camera module: - GameSir X2s Type-C Mobile Gaming Controller: i think this might be a better fit than the G8 if ur worried about bulk. the coolest safety feature is the tilting USB-C connector. since the Ace 5 has that huge bump, a fixed port can actually put a lot of stress on the phone's internals when ur sliding it in. this one pivots, so it fits way smoother. plus, it's got those Hall Effect sticks you wanted for CoD Mobile, but in a much more backpack-friendly size, you know? - GameSir G8 Galileo Wired Mobile Controller: since u mentioned it, it's seriouslyyy good for comfort, but it is huge. if u do go this route, just make sure to use the thinner rubber pads that come in the box. if the camera bump makes the phone sit at an angle, it could eventually warp the controller's bridge or put uneven pressure on ur phone frame, which sounds like a nightmare honestly. - Backbone One (USB-C) 2nd Gen for Android: make sure u get the 2nd Gen specifically!! they updated it with bigger magnetic adapters so it actually fits phones with huge cameras and cases way better than the original version. it's super slim, tho i sometimes worry it feels a bit light/fragile compared to the GameSir stuff. sooo yeah, just be careful with the pass-through charging tho. the Ace 5 charges sooo fast that it gets reallyyy warm. i'd suggest not charging at full speed while playing Genshin, just to be safe with the battery health, right? anyway, good luck with the grind! peace

Quick question - what is your actual budget?? The Ace 5 is seriously a beast!! - GameSir X2 Pro-Xbox Mobile Controller vs Turtle Beach Atom Mobile Controller
- Pros/cons: X2 has a tilting USB-C for that bump but it's chunky; Atom is split design so NO wobble, but feels cheaper.
- Best choice: X2 for pure value. Basically, how much do you wanna spend before I give my full recommendation? gl!

Man I wish I found this thread sooner. Would have saved me so much hassle.
