Thank you SO MUCH for including the 5:54 part!!! This part let me know that this controller does not have "analog stick clipping to axis" issue every other telescopic controller has! Nobody, nobody ever bothers to actually demonstrate how inputs register and fills their video with gameplay clips but YOU. Out of dozens of so-called "review"s out there, yours was the only one I needed. ❤️❤️❤️
Is clipping to axis a good or bad thing?
they finally put the usb c port to the right. it's the default landscape orientation.
hell yeah
Been waiting for this review.
Really like your videos. As summarised, all stuff and no fluff. Left a like.
I learned that with my experience on the old x2 with the updated dpad, if you cut off and remove the black rubber on the usb c side wall of the controller, any phone using a phone case will work with the controller.
Thank you! I was afraid that my phone would fall if I used it while in bed, but after your shake test I'm confident it won't. I'll buy one as soon as possible :)
I just ordered mine!!!! I can't wait to get it!!!!
Thanks for the product description straight to the point I am considering buying gamesir x2 pro for myself looks great so thanks 👍
Finally it's out yes I'll never forget to watch your latest videos thank
Nice concise video man, very helpful!
Seems like a pretty decent deal all the way around to me!! Not a bad piece at not a bad price!! Thanks for the info & input!! 👌🏼
I definitely want to upgrade my gamesirx2 controller to this new one. I love the design and the new features that come with it!
Great review. I got this exact controller.
You can use a case if you shave off that rubber padding on the usb side. I can even use wired headphones because my phone has top side port. I just add a small block of rubber in-between so it doesn't clamp only on the audio jack.
Love your reviews do you have a backbone review ?
great vid man!
I'm waiting for mine to arrive, it shall be interesting.
Cool video man keep it up.
If you're thinking about getting a controller get this one!
I have a gamesir x2 type c v2 and will be getting the pro soon works great on my galaxy s22
This is more like it. Keep the general design and for the next model, add headphone jack, combined Bluetooth/USB-C, rumble and space for a phone case. The first Gamesir that I could get behind.
GameSir X2 is quite good. It's the first controller (seriously) that can stay with me over 3 months without having issues. There were a bunch of controllers that got drifted just even 2 days after uses.
Though, I personally have my own weird issue with it. When you hold-down a button (A B X Y L R etc.) and then press select (G button), that button becomes "turbo mode" which can ruin my game.
For example, Devil May Cry 3. Regulary I hold L1 button to charge the DT explosion then press Select to taunt enemies which will refill DT gauge. But with GameSir X2, L1 becomes turbo mode, ruins my tactics (Dante keeps activate / deactivate his Demon form, loses energy, waste of DT gauge).
I hope that later models don't have this but have no idea how to make sure ...
Woo!! I got lucky on holding out on a controller!
I own the original gamesir x2 type c and it's still serves me good 👍😊
*Out of all the andriod controllers that you have whicb one would you recommend to buy and have tou had any stick drift issues with any of these?*
*And didn't you have any Razer Kishi's or Backbone's to show in the video?*
😍 sick
I appreciate this do you have a z fold 3 or 4 to review this on?
I left a like because you said if you didnt like this video leave a like lol. I did like the video both with my finger and my feeling lol
Hello, I really enjoy watching your videos.
I have a question for you regarding game pad.
I'm an old man and was considering getting into the gaming world. So my question is do I have to buy games or are they free?
I like racing games, and shooting games as well. Also some retro games.
I have a galaxy z fold4 so any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏
How they still can figure out how to get these to work with cases is beyond me. The USB-C connector needs a small spring switch they can move it forward or backward so it can establish a connection with phones with cases.
gamesir and backbone are really killing it with their console edition controllers. the PS vs XB war rages on!
The razor kishi v2 is better then the backbone to me
What's the app that you use to check the buttons and dpad and analogue sticks called please.
Im interested in picking this controller up but since i got the ROG 6 Pro, the usb slot is offset. Have you tried it with any devices similar to this plug? Does it grip properly still?
I've currently got a Kishi V1 and what made me pick that over any of the Gamesir controllers was the analog triggers as well as the compact nature of the V1. Now that there is a version of the Gamesir with analog triggers I'm wondering how the X2 Pro stacks up against both the V1 and V2 Kishi in terms of comfort, the feel of the face buttons, joysticks and the analog triggers.
I own both kishi v1 and v2. Just ordered the gamesir x2 pro..I'll let you know what I find. Amazon said I should get it today
@@MrHturtle99 Nice. How do the joy sticks of the v2 compare to the v1? I often hear/read that people compare the v2's sticks to the Nintendo Switch joycons but I've never used joycons before.
@@TonyDelvino if you've never used joycons before then you probably wouldn't like the razer kishi v2. Or it would be a bit of a learning curve. Not too bad. Just a little bit of a curve
Well the shape of the x2 pro is no different than the x2. In terms of comfort I can personally tell you the Kishi V2 is more comfortable for long gaming sessions as someone who had swapped from the x2 with the updated dpad to the kishi v2. You can grip on to the Kishi V2 controller with your ring finger towards the bottom of the controller where there's a contour whereas there isn't a spot for your fingers to grip to on the X2 besides the the controller just sitting on your fingertips, in order to grip on to the x2 you would have to press into the side of the controller with your palms and forcing your middle finger onto the black rubber grips of the controller as if you were trying to pinch the controller with your middle finger and palm. There's also a huge difference in weight between the controllers and that your hands get tired much faster if you are playing while laying down on your back with the x2.
@@MrHturtle99 I see. Thanks for the info.
does the usb c port pass out audio too? or does it just work for charging?
Very good review even though you didn't show how it works with xbox cloud gaming
I have this and the Kishi V1 and I find the x2 pro quite uncomfortable if I'm honest. I find it hard to find a comfortable position for triggers, sticks and back buttons at the same time because it's quite small do not too much to hold on to, particularly on the right hand. Kishi is MUCH more comfortable because it's more substantial size gives it more to hold on to and because there's no back buttons, there's no need to have to consider positioning for those. But then I miss the back buttons too so hard to choose a winner between the 2.🤷🏻♂️
Is the joystick "popping" an issue in car games for example, anything with finer control?
I have the Usb-c Gamesir X-2 and the Razer Kishi. I ended up grabbing the former because I use a fold 3 and didn't want to mod the controller. I want to like the X2 more, but I need to remap the buttons for remote play and don't trust the app (it has weird app permissions I didn't feel comfortable with). This one is pretty tempting if I don't need to use the app. The fact it already has an Xbox setup is promising
Chinese app spyware what a surprise
What app u use to test the trigger?
really wish that someone would make a type c controller that had a micro sd card reader built in
I love this one compared to the kishi. Thought it would fit my s22ultra but it's a tight fit. Haven't used it in months. Now the x2 pro? Bruh I bring it everywhere
I would have liked to have otg support on the USB type c port to use wired headphones for the sound that is my only complain about the controller
Im waiting for mine to get here on 12 January, i was wondering if i could connect a type C headset on it to listen without delay.
Would you all recommend this over the razer kishi 2? I currently torn between these 2 but I'm leaning more towards the gamesir x2 pro
I would like to know how you use any kind of wired headset or headphones on this.
I bought redmagic 8 pro yesterday I will buy this to play emulation games
I just bought the GameSir X2 C. Just waiting for the post man to bring it.
Ok this might be the one been using the x2 Bluetooth version in Xbox mode for quiet a while and it’s been fantastic but I want them triggers
Does it show up as a real Xbox one controller when pairing like the Bluetooth one?
Whats improved on the d-pad on the pro vs x2???
do you recommend it over x3 though?
Hi dear.... Do you know how can i map the controller butyons according to play games on ps remote play app?
I just bought a Kishi V2, and the experience is just okay. Not worth the price to me for the feeling of the switch style thumbsticks. And Razer so far doesn't seem keen to implement community feedback and update the firmware. Curious how this stacks up since it seems to have better thumbsticks and analogue triggers.
Also the Kishi V2 just doesn't work with Mantis Gamepad reliably whereas my 8bitdos work fine. Maybe Gamesir has better compatibility here too?
Try do the shake test on top of a pillow. Highly recommend 🤣
Ack! This was the controller I wanted! I have the Gamesir x2 but the dead zone is broken? Idk,if I wanted to aim precisely it’s wack, I wonder if this controller fixes that…
A common problem that I had with gamesir controllers is that the USB c starts to struggle to connect to the phone with time and I dont think they fixed this issue on this one
How do you map the back buttons without the app? I am never downloading a GameSir app after hearing suspicious things about what they do in the background
I prefer this over the X3, reasons: analog triggers and those M buttons in the back are great for emulation, specially for load and save states. So yeah for me 2 > 3.
Are the analog triggers same size as the switch? Been searching for a compatible stick extenders however jm not sure of the size. Anyone?
Was planning to buy mobile controller. I'm still torn between Razer Raiju Mobile or this one. Any tips?
Could you use this controller without smartphone, just plugged on a PC or XR glasses as the Viture vis tha USB-C ?
Does it have Bluetooth connectivity ? Thanks in advance
And here is the clap 👏 For another amazing video. 👏
Hello, is there a handheld controller with rumble function for Android?
Can you connect a Bluetooth headset while using the controller?
Is it possible to connect headphones via Type C?
I would like to see a controller that can handle adding your phone while it is still in a phone case. Also I use a pop socket, maybe an option to remove a part of the holder to place the phone in as well. Otherwise I ordered the X2 waiting for it to arrive tomorrow & might get this model as well to see the differences.
Sounds like your looking for a Gamevice controller. Analog controller that fits most phones with a case.
@@artofangie no still not the right specs I'm looking for. Honestly think mobile controllers will be obselete if they keep making them the way they are currently.
Gamevice flex
@@Zorbis1337 controller is still garbage tried it
You can use this with a case in your phone it says it on the website.
I got the Razor Kishi, and I really like it. Problem is that I've been considering upgrading from the Galaxy S21+ to the S23 Ultra. That won't fit in the Koshi V1. I don't like the Kishi V2 or the other controllers that will fit it.
I guess I'll stick to what I have for now.
V1 fit my old Note 20 ultra, that has a slightly bigger screen, I have a S23 ultra I can try it to see if it fits, away from home for a few more days, only brought the Game sir x2 pro, which I actually like better than the Kishi.
EDIT: the S23 Ultra end is too big to fit the V1 Kishi , even though the Note 20 Ultra had s slightly bigger screen, the end is a bit slimmer and fit the Kishi.
@@garys2157 Does the S23 Ultra fit the X2 Pro? Can you let me know if it fits with a case on it? Thanks.
I'm still trying to find the perfect controller for the Surface Duo 1. I think that may be the best phone for emulation out here. A great aspect ratio per screen, plus you can actually play DS and 3DS games with dual screens. But, the USB C port is horribly located, unfortunately. It's just north of the hinge and so USB C controllers tend to have the majority of the phone balanced below the controller. It's not a massive problem, it's only inconvenient since all of those systems generally had the controls on the bottom half. The other issue is when opened the Duo is incredibly thin and so typically gets very little support from the controller itself. Maybe this, with a little modifying of the front facing backplate, can alleviate that. Great review, as always.
I've seen pics of it with the gamesir x2 bluetooth model and I've personally looked into betop h2.
Razor kishi v2 is perfect don’t say the joysticks are bad just because there the Nintendo switch joysticks there perfect and it’s better then the V1 to me bur yes I suggest the v2 it’s perfect unless you’re on a stupid “budget”
If you're looking for a controller that plugs directly into, and wraps around, your phone. I recommend looking into the standard gamesir x2 due to its usb-c plug being on the right side of the phone mount, allowing it to mesh well with your phone, and any other folding phone you may get in the future.
Mr. Sujano -- if I were to buy this for emulation on my android phone, would my phone itself handle the rumble feature that you mentioned this controller lacks?
Yes. DraStic and Mupen64 both can use your phone's vibration motor for rumble if your controller lacks it. It works fine; admittedly my Moto makes more noise than actual vibration, but that's not the fault of the emulators. Other than NDS and N64, none of the other systems I emulate semi-regularly had rumble to begin with, so this is pretty much all I can tell you.
Just got my Gamesir x2 Pro couple days ago...
Just enjoy playing my Street Fighter EX+Alpha and Ex 2+ games... Using the FPse emulator for PSx games... I didn't have to install their app...🧐🤓🤫...$71.99 on Amazon...
Great video, i have a question. I had problems with other controllers playing fortnite (android) using triggers to shoot and aim (since they are not digital but they have travel) so android might not recognize them, anybody has tried this, just fortnite actually?
Why would you want rumble on a controller that connects to a smartphone that has a rumble motor?
I bought 1 gamesir x2 pro everything works but when I rip any game from the cloud of the following error "is there one last step to make your gamepad compatible with android 11" any solution? movel oneplus 6t
I really wish someone will make a USB-C controller that will fit a tablet.
Razer Kishi V2 vs Gamesir X2 Pro? I can't decide
can i play call of duty mobile on android without screen mapping activation ? just like a xbox controller works perfect on cod mobile ?
I like Gamesir controllers, but the problem is how uncomfortable it is for a little longer play sessions.
For kids, looks great, but I would like to have some huge option like the RoG Kunai 3.
I'm 16 i have the GameSir X2.
For me.. it's not uncomfortable.
But now i'm lookin for the X2 Pro cuz u can change the buttons like take them out then replace a with b etc.. it uses magnets.
It has analog triggers *finally*
and u can get the midnight version too! *Cuz if i'm right the gray version was "exclusive" for the bt version* (X2)
I had the same issue for long gaming durations with the x2 and swapped to the Kishi V2 instead.
Definitely a step in the right direction.
Does anyone know if we can connect this controller on a PC using USB-C cable? To play PC games and whatnot.
How to overlay controls. Can't play genshin or pokemon unite with it.
And how I use the m1 and m2 butt. Emulators don't recognize them.
Did anyone else have an issue with Gamesir X2 late 2021 model where it got drift literally 1 day after getting it?
is it compatible to egg ns ?
Google Play version of the app doesn't work. Had to download from their website. When I did one of the permissions it asked for was to "Manage all files"
Sounds pretty suspicious to me
Can you attach a tablet instead of a mobile phone?
Hey I got the Bluetooth version of this controller every 15 mins it opens chrome or Edge by itself the current emulator is still open but the Internet app opens over it anyone know how to fix this.
What about egg ns, does it recognises it...is egg ns free to play after connecting this with phone 🤔🤔
Looks nice but I already have X2 bluetooth so this is not worth the upgrade
As a Samsung Galaxy fold future user I would love to see the input on the left side for the USB C so the screen can fold upwards instead of down........
The existing X2 Type-C controller has the connector on the left side. Of course, that one doesn't have the new features of this controller, so I guess it's pick-your-poison regarding what is most important.
You can just get the cheaper non pro x2 controller without the analog triggers which has the usb c plug on the left.
Just get a Bluetooth gamepad like the nancon mg-x or mg-x pro , moga xp7-x plus plus they use Bluetooth , meanwhile the gamesirx2 pro will use your phones battery to stay powered which would be less gaming time as well as less battery life.
@@kdubspencer3390 many ppl prefer usb connection to have no input latency meanwhile bluetooth devices can have input latency to as much as 50ms in some cases...bluetooth connection also drains battery power...
Not having to remember to recharge a bluetooth controller or the bluetooth controller dying on you mid gameplay session is a bonus with direct usb connection controllers...
There's also the issue of not being able to charge your phone at the same time with using a bluetooth controller meanwhile usb controllers have a passthrough port to charge your phone...
@@tommy6742 yeah I get the latency concern which is why I originally went with a type gamesirx2 but moved on to Bluetooth because the. Gamepads have a about 20-30hrs on a single charge and I have a z fold so my USB port is above the gamepads height so I still have access to charge . And all Bluetooth gamepads have a battery indicator and a type c port so you can charge it while you play so the only slight benefit I get from a type c port is slightly better latency .
04:39 - same situation with Samsung Galaxy S23 (with camera lens protection)
Yey
wishing you'll try the cheapest type-c😊😊😊 BSP-D3 bluetooth controller :)
Will this gamepad work on poco x4 gt with dimensity 8100 processor?
The GameSir app does suck as I have to set my phone in certain orientations in order to setup the mappings. Other than that, the controller in my opinion is pretty solid and is plug-n-play whenever I'm playing games that don't require mappings (I have to setup mappings for Genshin so it's a bit annoying just that first time).
Can you use this for a second xbox controller,or am i being dumb,ive googled it and cant seem to find a definitive answer 😕 i ask coz im both looking to get a extra controller for my xbox one and get a good controller for my phone,this could solve both issues 🤔
No. is only for android phones
Would you pick this over the Gamesir X3?
Does it has gyro/motion?
A shame the case doesn’t have green trim instead of red as it’s Xbox focused 🤔
Can open steam link on gamesir x2 pro ?
I don't know when the didn't have the same triggers for the x3 as I really want the x3 because of the fan but I play racing games so it's pointless
Just received a gamesir X2 pro today and everything was going great until calibration. Calibration broke the triggers...
Here's what I have tried, using a Samsung S21FE
1. Calibrated as manual (slowly pressing triggers) - with GameSir app and without, with phone plugged in and without (powered by pass-thru usb-c )
2. Mapped RT to back button and start calibrating holding back button and select, tried again with other back button, and tried again with LT trigger instead
3. Used another phone (Pixel 3) and tried the above steps
4. Reinstalled all firmwares 129.24, 129.23, 129.22 and tried above steps
5. Cry
Have scoured the web and there are 4 other cases, so it most likely is a faulty unit. Funny thing is that the LT still works to initiate calibration (SEL+LT).
