GameSir X2 Bluetooth Mobile Gaming Controller,Phone Controller for Android and iOS,Wireless Mobile Game Controller Grip Support Xbox Game Pass, xCloud, Stadia, Vortex and More(2021 Bluetooth Version)

 

This is a great value phone controller with solid build . It slides open to fit your phone I own an galaxy 22 ultra which when in its case still fits in this. The grips are comfortable and buttons are well laid out and clicky it feels responsive when I use it and it’s easy to connect via Bluetooth. Altogether a great buy and an excellent way to play games

 

I was worried based on some reviews that this bites would be filled with little flaws, and I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived and found it to have none of the concerning issues that have been mentioned in reviews here, and on YouTube. The sticks are accurate with no dead zones, the buttons are clicky-and responsive, has passtgrough charging of your phone while gaming, worked withoutbissue with native Android games, emulators, and my entire library of Steam games via Steam Link. My phone (Samsung A53 5G) fit and connected immediately, the companion app was confusing but worked great to remap to an Xbox layout instead of Switch, and doesn’t deserve the amount of ill review it gets. Yeah it could be clearer, but a little poking and prodding and I got what I needed done without issue.

Lastly it has 2 “modes” – default is hardware controller (your phone treats it like an OTG hardware controller), and “touchscreen mode” for Android games that don’t have ITG support. This mode emulates the touch screen controls with the X2 and are remappable using the app.

There is no 3.5 mm headphone jack, but my phone doesn’t have this either, so I already have a decent pair of Bluetooth earbuds.

Overall excellent controller, feels great in the hand, extremely balanced, and comfortable. Comes with a hardahell case to boot!

Highly recommend.

 

Probabilmente tra le migliori soluzioni per giocare con il telefono usando un controller, se non la migliore per quello che offre.
La prima cosa che colpisce la presenza di una custodia rigida per il trasporto, il controller in s resta comunque molto compatto quando chiuso. Il connettore USB-C mobile, per cui non dovrete fare pericolose acrobazie per installare il vostro terminale, tra l’altro ha una buona estensione per cui va bene per molti modelli di telefono. Una cosa veramente lodevole la presenza di un dissipatore built-in, che permette di prolungare le sessioni di gioco con titoli pi esigenti e che possono scaldare il telefono. Inoltre possibile cambiare tasti e manopole con un altro set in dotazione. Buona la risposta in game e grazie all’app si pu configurare (basta perderci un po’ di tempo) per giocare a praticamente qualsiasi titolo con orientamento orizzontale.
Ma non un prodotto perfetto, e questo dipende molto dal telefono con cui vorrete utilizzarlo e dalla grandezza delle vostre mani. Nel primo caso, il terminale potrebbe non spianare perfettamente, dando l’impressione che dal lato non connesso possa sfuggire da un momento all’altro. Nel secondo, per quanto l’ergonomia sia discreta, se avete le mani grandi potreste avere difficolt con lo stick destro, non essendo proprio raggiungibile comodamente. Forse sarebbe stato meglio posizionarlo allo stesso modo del sinistro con i tasti sotto. Inoltre, non esiste un ingresso per cuffie cablate, e questa una grossa pecca considerando che date le dimensioni e peso totali non un oggetto da utilizzare correndo, ma stando comodamente fermi da una parte, per cui auricolari bluetooth con la loro latenza lasciano il tempo che trovano.
Motivo per cui raggiunge le 4 stelle, che possono diventare 5 se le imperfezioni che ho fatto notare non costituiscono un problema.
A voi le conclusioni.

 

Labrige Konstruktion, Sticks sind unprzise und zu wenig empfindlich. Die App ist OK, man kann alle Tasten selber mit Funktionen belegen (Mappen). Der Lag bei Bluetooth ist sprbar.

 

So GameSir it’s an incredible brand that provide to us the best gaming solutions that are available world wide ,with a good price u gonna get a cutting edge technology and extremely high quality of product.
Specifically GameSir x3 type c edition has some great aspects not mentioning support of charging while gaming , cooling full flexibility of adjustment of your buttons and the length of them .
The GameSir x3 has literally no delay cause it’s conected tghru type c .

Game play it’s verry enjoyable tho in some games u need to adjust sensitivity and gamepad behaviour to your own preference which it’s making the GameSir x3 and great gamepad/ controller with many choices of gameplay .

 

Pour avoir essay tout ce qui se faisait sous iOS (except Backbone : pas test) j’ai trouv cette manette la meilleure.

Points positifs :
+ pas de connecteur physique (bluetooth) donc compatible avec toutes les coques
+ le format switch plus confortable qu’une manette + support de tlphone
+ adaptable tous les formats de tlphone (j’ai un iPhone 12 mini a passe nickel)
+ ractif
+ zones mortes rglables
+ bouton pour faire des captures d’cran
+ rien redire sur l’autonomie
+ bonne prise en main

Points ngatifs :
+ j’ai rencontr 3 jeux sur lesquels la manette se bloque “vers la droite” et freeze. je dois relancer la manette. le problme est rcurrent sur ces jeux. j’imagine que le problme vient des jeux et non de la manette puisque c’est trs spcifique ces 3 jeux (Tallowmere 2, Rush Rally 3 et Grid Autosport)
+ sensation trs plastique en main

noter qu’on peut charger son iPhone en jouant en utilisant un cble Lightning coud.

 

This product is great, but does not come configured to every game. However you can use the g board to program new games!

 

Super simple and effective. No problems to connect, no delay and very comfortable.
Only issue is that when I try to charge while I’m playing my phone drives crazy and neither charge nor work, however it’s a rugged phone ( ulefone armor 7 )which it should not fit in the controller but it does , so fair enough. 5/5

 

Tested on Nubia RedMagic 7, games tested: Honkai Impact 3, Genshin Impact, Honkai Gakuen 2, Girl Cafe Gun.

Hardware Impression:

The controller fits effortlessly on long phones like the RM 7 (170.57mm) and keeps it in place, the rotating connector helps to connect/disconnect the device without much force.

The charge-through port works for RM 7, so the phone can get charged for long gaming sessions.

The buttons are sturdy and responsive, as of now (1 month of use) there are no issues yet.

The build quality is fairly good; everything is help up securely and doesn’t feel like a cheap throw-away device.

Software Impression:

Unlike the solid hardware, the software of the controller is something that needs some improvement. All of the above mentioned game cannot be played by the controller out of the box, as they either have no native support or the device is not recognized by the game. The only way to make them work is to download the Gamesir app, which was not mentioned in the little quick start booklet.

The setup of the app can be simple or cumbersome (depending on your level of expertise); it requires the app to be allowed to be display on top of other apps, and only by doing so can you setup each individually game’s control scheme in-game.

The key mapping process is fairly straight forward; you drag the icon(s) over to the location for key(s) to be used and choose the corresponding controller key(s). The app remembers the setup for each game, however there is a little caveat; you need to launch the game through the Gamesir app or it can’t apply the individual key profile to that particular game.

Last but not least, by far the most annoying and confusing part is how to make the controller actually work for said games, as there are officially two modes you can choose from; one is for games that supports it and the other is free-mapping mode for most of the games. When connecting to a phone the controller always start in ‘native support’ mode, meaning you can’t play free-mapping games using the controller right away, to switch modes you have to press the ‘home’ and ‘G’ buttons together, and hoping it would work (it doesn’t always work on first try), if you see the green light turns on that means you are in ‘free-mapping’ mode (the default mode’s light is blue).

Overall Impression:

Once you get over all the hurdles to setup the controller, using it was quite enjoyable; the keys are responsive and accurate, the controller itself also offers good grip for action-intensive games, so no need to worry about accidentally tossing your phone mid-play. Of course there are trade-off for such convenience; you can no longer use your phone’s audio jack (yes some gaming phones do retain this feature)so for late-night gaming session you would need to use a wireless headset.

For phones with the ‘Fire Dragon Core'(SnapDragon 8 Gen 1) this controller severally limits heat dissipation. The RM 7 already has a cooling fan inside, without the controller the heat is manageable but with it on is almost a hand warmer on high blast; games like Genshin on max setting will literally cook the phone from inside out, and I can see why Gamesir decided to include a fan on the newer X3 model, so if you are not planning a phone BBQ any time soon I strongly recommend you to wait for the X3, your phone and hand will thank you for it.

In summary:

Is a decent controller that gets the job done, the software needs some refinement but nothing too detrimental to keep it from functioning. Until X3 arrives this is a good choice for majority of the games (mobile or emulation).

 

I’ve been looking for a decent controller to play Games on my iPhone. So was very interested in this particular controller, after a 10 year hiatus I was looking forward to downloading call of duty for mobile and after reading mostly positive reviews decided to take the plunge. The ergonomics are pretty good and everything is very Familiar, general button layout, analog joysticks and trigger buttons obviously conform to the accepted standards and they’ve done a pretty good job of keeping that. Build quality and overall construction is very good and surfaces in the places where needed are rubberised and does feel pretty durable and can imagine travelling with it. Battery life was fully charged seem pretty good I managed to squeeze out many hours of gaming without the need for recharging. Initial set up is relatively straightforward. Although the manual that comes with it it’s pretty useless because the font size for all the instructions is about 3pt which if anybody knows, is absolutely tiny and even someone decent eyesight will struggle to read it, I had to photograph it on my phone and enlarge it which is a bit of pain when you’re trying to set up the device on your phone whilst having to read these minuscule instructions, there is probably something online but I can be bothered to look at that. There are two modes of connecting the controller with your phone via Bluetooth and both of these mode show up on your Bluetooth connection control panel it’s quite unclear which one you need for which particular game so it’s more by trial and error. Call of duty mobile uses the Xbox controller Bluetooth and once connected does all the things you expected to do within the game and hats off to all of duty mobile they have developed an absolutely outstanding game which is a free download in the first instance, of course there’s lots of in game purchases but you can really enjoy the main game without having to pay anything so bearing in mind that the game is free and the controller was around 50 or so pounds it’s amazing value for money and I would recommend the purchase. However there is a massive flaw, I’m not sure whether it’s my phone or whether it’s the fact the Bluetooth is pretty ancient technology now and has never really been a particularly stable way of connecting, and I would say on average I have a 50% success rate of maintaining a strong connection between controller and the phone as frequently you lose all Bluetooth connectivity even though it says it’s connected, so you have to quit and reconnect the controller etc it’s a bit of a pain but like I mentioned before as all this is for around 50 it’s fine it’s something you know it’s just a fact of life I don’t expect perfection if there was one available I would probably would’ve preferred direct connection for lightning ports I know there is a USB C version for android but that’s not available to me. I have tried to connect rally rush three and I haven’t really had much luck of getting it all set up correctly it to any satisfaction, but once I’m bored of cold duty I’ll switch. I’m sure it will take a bit of effort to try and get the rally rush three working so overall I would recommend this but with the caveat if you’re using the Bluetooth version don’t expect hours and hours of interrupted gaming.

Best android controller, believe me I’ve tried alot and i own quite a few. Prefer it over xbox series x controller. works like a charm. works with steam link,moonlight, emulators, and is recognised by games with native Controller support. it fits my z fold 3 perfectly. shame about the switch emulator as it it is only supported with type c.

 

I bought this controller for my Google Pixel 6 Pro as it was the only controller where my phone could fit in even with the phone case (dbrand). I first bought the Bluetooth version but didn’t like the impossibility to change the button layout (A button is B, B button is A, Home button is actually the Power button, …) and that I couldn’t charge the phone while playing. So I returned the Bluetooth version and bought the USB-C version instead.

I’m very happy with the USB-C version as all the above mentioned limitations are gone – the button layout is as on the Nintendo Switch and I can charge the phone while playing. When I connected the phone without the case, the USB-C connector was too long that the only fixation point on the left hand side was the connector. The rest of the phone didn’t even touch the side of the controller, which made me feel a little bit uncomfortable. Unfortunately the USB-C connector wasn’t long enough to connect my phone while using the phone case (dbrand) so I ended up removing the rubber padding which fixed the issue.

 

I have compared this gamepad to the Razer Kishi, and it’s 1000x better in almost every respect. The mapping software is absolutely awesome and works with PUBG and COD without issues; you can also saving time by downloading game specific profiles from the cloud!

However, I am unfortunately returning the controller for one reason: the analog sticks. I mainly games where you need to be able to aim without an auto lock-on feature. The analogs track extremely well in the directions, but not diagonal until you pass over a “hump”. By this I mean, in the default position, to make a fine-grain movement the stick doesn’t track well from the center position and will track in a direction just before it tracks diagonally. This is near impossible to use in games like COD and PUBG and an absolute shame ws the gamepad is otherwise, almost perfect.

 

Best mobile phone gaming controller I’ve purchased. I have a Glaxy Z Fold 2 and it fits it even with a thin case attached to my phone. It is also light and really easy to pair with my phone. I mainly play Xbox Cloud gaming and it’s perfect for it. It came with a carry case for the controller which is a plus! Would definitely recommend!
