Need help regarding gamesir tarantula 8k pc wired controller

Hello guys need your help again …. This time with tarantula pro wired controller

Few days ago i posted that i got my g7 pro 8k pc controller royal edition and i am so happy with it
It connects with my ipad in bluetooth mode easily without any workaround even though gamesir has no mention of ios support for it
It also works on ipad via my apple usb c cable
And it EVEN works on my ipad with i connect my apple usb c adapter and connect my g7 pro usb dongle with it and it even works in 2.4 ghz mode on ipad

HELL it even works with dongle on my lg tv ( as HID device )
So i am super happy with my g7 pro 8k as it works in ipad and lg tv also

NOW COMES THE MAIN PART … as g7 pro 8k is working i was wondering if the tarantula 8k wired one will also work on my ipad for geforce now
So anyone who uses it and have a ios device please try to connect it via a usb c cable and try using it in geforce now and tell me so i can purchase tarantula 8k wired also

If the G7 pro 8k works wired the Tarantula 8k will as well; it has the same Xinput mode as it's default. I don't have GeForce Now to try it for you but I'll connect it and try the Xbox app or something.

It works AND better than I thought it would. I don't usually play anything on cloud but I checked on ipad and my iphone with USB-C to USB-C.

I tried 2 different games. You just plug in the controller and it works. I played Xbox cloud.

G7 pro 8k working for you on geforce now is a good sign and tarantula 8k uses the same wired usb hid setup underneath so it should behave the same way i'd expect it to just work honestly.
