The design of the Gamesir X2 Pro is standard for a phone controller accessory like this.
The sticks, buttons and feel overall was like the Backbone One or the Nintendo Switch controllers. Again, this shows that Gamesir has put thought into what the customer could want and supplied it with no extra cost.Īs for the actual controller, it reminded me of the Backbone One, but with a much thicker and wider ‘backboard’ for the phone to sit on.
Gamesir provided the controller with a small packet of alternative thumb grips in case you wanted to swap the original thumb grips for whatever reason you may have. This case is a solid and sturdy case that would cost a decent amount on its own, so to have that as part of the product is great for customer friendliness.
The Gamesir X2 Pro instantly won some brownie points purely due to the addition of a travel case. You’ll struggle to find a better controller for portable gaming than this.We look at the Gamesir X2 Pro, a controller accessory for your Android phone that allows you to play mobile games with a controller format. In the Android-specific GameSir X3,however, these issues are easily forgiven. The GameSir X3 ups its game to become the best Switch-esque Android phone gaming controller you can buy right now.Ī durable, comfortable build houses buttons and analogue sticks that feel great and are swappable, the cooling system works a treat and the additional case preserves your purchase when throwing it in your luggage for long-haul flights.īut the same small-but-impactful omissions are present: shoulder buttons that don’t have any travel, the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack pass-through for latency-free audio and the companion app doesn’t really join things up with a centralized game UI. If this was an iOS controller too, that would be a problem, but Android is a different story.īackbone offers a wealth of app options that transform your phone into a game UI fit for the controller (some of which requires a paid subscription), while the 100% free GameSir companion app acts more as a way to edit controller mapping - flipping what is the select button between the “Xbox” layout (A at the bottom) or the “Switch” layout (B at the bottom). The GameSir app experience is getting a little better, but it’s still nowhere near the complete experience you get from Backbone One.
