I got this GameSir controller to use exclusively whit the Switch so I can’t comment on performance on other platforms.
First this controller isn’t too heavy, it fits and feels nice in my hands.
The battery life is very good, since I got it I only charged 3 times.
I went on vacation whit and it was great amazing, it was used by my kids at the airport before boarding, during a 4h plane ride and several times during our 3 weeks vacation and only charged for are way back.
Buttons still feel nice like new even with the less than delicate use of my two kids.
Comes with a casing and that’s really fun and it doesn’t lose/drain significant battery when it’s not being used. Built quality feels durable.
Very easy to connect to the switch.
The only con I have is the colour, the Nova(White) colour gets easily dirty especially with 2 kids using it.
Overall great affordable Switch Pro controller and at the current sale price of under 40$ it’s a great value.
Really impressive build quality for the price and the joysticks feel great. Only problem I had was with Mario Kart where the controller kept disconnecting, but a firmware update (1.1 -> 1.3) fixed that.
I love the G7 wired for playing RL on PC. Back buttons give you an edge. I’ve had no issue with Nova controller playing on the switch so far. build quality is excellent. Bravo gamsi
Overall, I would say this is a very solid third-party option if you’re looking for an extra controller for your Nintendo Switch, or you want a controller for your phone. You can even us this with your PC if you have bluetooth available or wired. This is a good option to consider, especially if you find this on sale or with a coupon. And the case is a bonus if you travel and game too!
Build Quality – Decent. It feels solid but it doesn’t feel as nice as my xbox or nintendo pro controller though.
Buttons and Rumble – Good. The buttons are not as clickly as my xbox or pro controller (I like a little clicky-ness but I recognize that everyone has their preferences for buttons). The Hal Effect joy sticks feel good. The rumble is feels very decent/good, especially in comparison to other third-party controllers. The shoulder buttons are good and flair to catch your fingers.
Usage – Good experience overall. I primarily used this on PC and it was good and comfortable to use. If I played for a while, I would forget that I was playing with the Nova vs my main xbox controller. My only compliant – its in a Nintendo button playout vs Xbox. In my case, my computer recognized the controller as an Xbox controller. So I had to go to setting to change the layout of buttons on the face. Not a big deal as I only a few games on PC but I see it being an issue if you played a lot of games with a controller on PC.
