Just got my x2 pro a mom who cant sit at the xbox all the time, this has made it amazing. I play while I cook, etc
Amazing unboxing and review! Love the soundtrack! :D
Whatever Backbone did to get their controller recognized in COD Mobile, Gamesir should do the same. This would make for a much better CODM controller than the Backbone.
This was the video I needed to buy the X2 Pro, I wanted to game through steam remote play or moonlight/Nvidia gamestream, but a nasty iPega controller with awful joysticks was turning the experience into a letdown. Thankfully the upgrade to this will help in ergonomics (having phone in the stand was quite uncomfortable) and especially usability, as playing any story driven game with some sort of shooting, be it Horizon Zero Dawn, CP2077 or RDR2, was a complete nightmare.
Very well detailed explanation keep up the good work❤❤
Thanks for the video. Never knew about these.
Best review I've seen for this product!!! Good work! Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
great review! thanks
شكرا لك على هذا الفيديو كنت راح اشتري الاصدار القديم
ولكن بعد هذا الفيديو الرائع شريت الاصدار الجديد
Very detailed review! From the deadzones to the Yuzu controller detection, thanks man. I want to buy a controller for emulators(yuzu included) with the same design as x2 but i also want a better one then the x2 normal, any advice?
Currently the x2 pro and the razer kishi V2 are the best controllers in the market
Great review
BEST REVIEW EVER --- ty so much ...
I'm your 700th like, well earned. '👍
Sadly I need the old X2, as it has the port on the left side, meaning a Samsung Fold will fold upwards instead on downwards. Great video though!
wtf? My phones has it in the right side.
get the new x3 then
@@Rianme1ster the x3 has the same problem
@@mannyw_ welp, the old x2 is shit, AHAHAHAHA
Great review bro! What is the smartphone that did you use?
Galaxy S20 FE
Nice video, but it's not clear how reliable the type c connection is and whether it can be repaired...
i live in Indonesia, for xbox gaming cloud needs the ultimate one and here it needs vpn to play the game, so it's not the smoothest one. But i use this for Geforce Now and it has server in Singapore so this is the better idea for now using this controller.
About the questionable app: if you only play games or emulators that natively support controllers, then you don't even need it.
Even if you want to change the ABXY layout, you can just do that and then uninstall the app - the setting is saved in the device itself. 👍
And if you want controller to touchscreen mapping, you can use other apps like Mantis for that.
All in all, while I sure wish the app was better and more trustworthy, you don't need to have it permanently installed for anything. So at least it's not a dealbreaker
useful thanks
I want a d-pad for playing PS1 and snes stuff on my phone, but that d-pad position looks weird... can you me recommend one with a better d-pad position?
Hey man will you review the new 8bitdo controller when it comes out? It would be cool to see you go over it as thoroughly as you did with the GuliKit. Cool vid as always btw.
8 bit do usually don't send units for a review but I will try to get a unit from other stores that might be interested
@@VKsChannel Great! Thanks.
What kind of phone were you using for the vid? Also can you play laying on your back without worrying about the phone falling out of the gamesir x2 pro?
galaxy s20 Fe, and yes it won't drop
thx for the the review bro, almost bought the trash version
Ive been a Flydigi user ever for 8 years and loved their product. But im looking at another telescopic controller specifically this one. The only thing that worries me is the app support. How well does gamesir's app compare with flydidi's? I really like flydigi's app as its easy to use and love their control modes be it their flash (forgot what its called) mode or the classic mode. Does gamesir have something similar as well? Also, i will be using this on my ROG 7 Ultimate so i know its not gonna be inside perfectly but offset due to the phone's offset usb port at the bottom
Flydigi's app is perfect, the gamesir one is much more limited, if you're gonna change to this one I recommend buying a paid mapper app like mantis or octopus
Agreed flydigi app is amazing. I just wish they would update the wee2t form factor. It too small these days
Im not into mobile gaming but do love some of these devices they make for the mobile phone, i kind want try mobile games but trying find good android game i play offline tends to be a challenge ^^
Try Stardew Valley! Completely offline, no in-app purchase bullshit, and a very charming and relaxing game for endless fun.
@@ropeburn6684 heard some good game like it on mobiles, so might give it a go ^^
Me neither. But just started with GeForce now and yeah... I'm not buying a new pc anytime soon
I really want a Gamevice Flex but it is never in stock. I suppose it is being discontinued? This X2 Pro might be a good alternative. The only thing that concerns me besides some bad amazon reviews about the sticks and quality control is that the rubber insert isn't removable on the usb-c side to allow you to keep your phones case on it. I have a S23 Ultra. This is one reason I was trying to hold out for a Flex. Has anyone tried this controller with a case?
Does pass through charging only work with flagship phones?
perfect review,can you tell me which is better, x2 pro or x3?
X2 pro
The x3 has deadzones
4:52 what gamepad tester app was that?
i already mapped the keys but it buttons does not respond to the map or in the game
can you review a steelseries stratus duo? it claims to have hall effect triggers and sticks but i have not seen any reviewer actually take it apart nor have i seen anyone test input lag on it
I will try to contact them
Thanks!
I bought one and right when I plugged it in my phone said water damaged is it defective?
Will a Ps4 or Xbox one thumb stick fit? Looking for replacement thumb sticks
Problem with this one, is that the usb-c is on the right side... I got a samsung fold, which would be awkward to use, and I wanted a usb-c one, not bluetooth.
Edit: I am satisfied so far though.
Hi.... Do you know if this controller is compatible with ps remote play app?
X pro 2 buttons stick to my thumbs sometimes, can't use the gamsir app for mobile gaming button mapping for mobile games, best use the gamsir x 3.. Also, all x pro are type C port 1 way charge, don't expect input or output the type c, only charges. Does not super charge.
X3 have the same deadzone problems of the normal x2
And super fast charging will overheat your phone
The best review in youtube
Can this be played with Apple Arcade..on iPhone SE 3.. is it compatible?
So , I can't connect type c headphones? Only bluetooth?
I own this controller and 'visually' it's a nice looking design but, the software to connect to phones is horrible. On my 2017 LG V30 (running Android 9 Pie), whenever I plug in the USB-C cable to charge my phone while I play, the controller's two indicators lights blink 10 times then disconnects itself from my phone. However, my friend's latest Samsung Galaxy S phone allowed passthrough charging to work just fine with the X2 Pro. Initially, I was thinking that my Android software is too old or my cellular provider was blocking the USB connection selection but, when I'd connected my phone to my friend's new Razer Kishi V2, passthrough charging worked flawlessly.
Basically, I have to either upgrade my phone or buy a different android gaming controller. 🤷🏾♂️
Yeah their software kinda sucks indeed the permissions they ask are also annoying
Do you know anyone else with x2 pro? You could try testing your phone with another unit
I have the original one and I have no idea what you are talking about in terms of imput lag, and I wanted the usb on the left so the z fold 5 screen access it at the top not bottom if the usb is on the right.... the dpad on the left side could be better and the L2/R2 could be pressure sensitive, but other than that there are zero differences....
you can repeat the tests with other controllers, if you have a slow motion mode on your smartphone
Is it compatible with Yuzu now?
Can it be modded with hall effect joysticks?
I have a fold 3. Do you think its possible to place the usb on the back then use male to female for connection?
I think it works with the fold 3 some user posted a picture on reddit if I remember
I have gamesir x2 pro and backbone,can I use them for PUBG mobile?
What potentiometer do you think that will fit on gamesir x2 pro, im planning to buy some incase the joystick break
I don't know the value, but these are widely available
if the potentiometer ever breaks you can buy a replacement anytime
@@VKsChannelikr! It's like g8 Galileo but needs to unscrew the body itself, it's still superior to g8 for me as nothing will beat a controller with a gamepass and case ♥️
Is this Hall sensor like the king kong pro 2?
just asking what phone that you used for testing of this? is it samsung galazy A series?
S20 FE
@@VKsChannel i see... thanks a lot
How to set the mapping buttons? I tried but it seems the app told me the game hasbt udpate yet and i should installed gamesir app while i already did...
I show it on the review
Ty
how much for 1of those controller
Will a red magic 7 fit inside this. I currently am using a nacon mg and is tight
Please check the maximum size of supported smartphones on gamesir website
Please help me to answer it, does this Gamepad support for Xiaomi 12T (Mediatek Dimensity 8100-Ultra?
I know there are some issues with xiaomi phones but I heard that it can be solved my messing with the configurations
I don't hava a xiaomi phone yo test
Sorry
I think they should of left the usbc on the left side for z fold users
Should've or should have.
NOT should of.
@PSYCHOV3N0M should've is literally a shortened version of should of. There are no grammar issues in his writing.
@@CMG02Wrong. Should've is short for should have. Interestingly, only native speakers, and among those mostly Americans, ever make this common mistake.
@@CMG02Wrong.
landscape defaults to bottom right and top left. Some games don't support being rotated the other way. So why should everybody make compromises for the 0,1% folding phone user clowns?!
The problems of X2 and X3 triggers are that they just aren't analog, or they don't work?
X2 pro is analog
Standard X2 is digital
Good review 👍🏻
Unfortunately it doesn't support fast charging which is very bad and a downside
Taking it out to charge the phone properly each time is annoying
Did you test the charging speed and time ?
I have to test it out later, I'll report back
You technically don't want to fast charge while playing. Fast charge warms up the phone plus streaming/playing on it will also heat it up more. Fast charge isn't a great feature for gaming on a phone. U less it has a dedicated cooler like the one Asus offers.
@@AlmightyyCres good point!
It supports "normal", aka "slow" charging just fine. So if you start playing with a half charged phone, you can play indefinitely and it'll slowly charge meanwhile.
The only thing that wouldn't work well is when the phone is almost empty.
Does anyone know if the Gamesir X2 pro is compatible with the Redmi 10 2022 ? (Not the note version)
Can anyone confirm if the power delivery works correctly with phones like the s23 ultra? This phone has the ability to pause charging from the battery and run off external power to generate less heat while gaming. Does the X2 Pro support this feature?
No it wil slow charge and that's whats intended because fast charging makes the battery hotter
When its fully charged the phone itself will stop charging the battery and keep using power from the port normally
When i download the world version of the gamesir app it tells me it isn't compatible with my phone. I have a pixel 7 pro, any ideas?
Did you get the latest version from github?
@@VKsChannel yeah that's the one I was selecting version 4.31 and i get that error every time. Even tried a few other versions. I've been using mantis as a workaround but to me it feels laggy
Too bad the free xbox gamepass ultimate code inside cant be redeem in malaysia. Unless there a way to play cloud gaming on it that i dint know off due to region lock
You can, for cloud gaming change your id region into us or Australia then redeem it. To play you need vpn, free vpn will do in my case, connect to US, Japan or Australia then play cloud games. As long as its not competitive games its good no massive delays etc.
If you don't care about the price, what would you buy, kishi v2 or gamesir x2 pro? My phone is Samsung S23
I haven't tested the kishi but the gamesir x2 pro have better sticks
The kishi uses joycon style analog sticks that can develop drift more quickly compared to the alps sticks of the gamesir x2 pro
@@VKsChanneldoes x2 pro has hall sensor?
@@muriel24mj87 no
@@muriel24mj87 it only has hall sensor for the triggers
How better or not it is compared to X3?
Better
The x3 have deadzones in the axis
I’m thinking to go with this one with my iphone 15 pro max - does anybody know if this will accommodate phones with the case? Removing the phone case for me is always very annoying, tough cases to remove and always worried to damage the phone
depends on the case, if your case is very thin it will work, but with my s20fe it won't connect
Does it runs skyline emulator or ps remote play app?
Just got mines the other day. And tested Ps remote play. But I used the 3rd party app Ps play. And I was able to remote play online with my friends. No issue
my original gamesir x2 v2 came drifting out of the box 💀
😥 then ask for a return immediately
Did you buy it on amazon or aliexpress?
It could also be a problem of calibration, have you tried contacting gamesir?
there is no possibility to run it on yuzu?
no =/
40€ vs 80€ mmh I wonder which one i would buy
i almost bought the x2 non pro, so hlad I wenz with the pro
i have the v1 x2. the sticks drift which sucks. im waiting for a gulikit stick replacement or wait for a hall effect one then ill buy again.
You can replace the stick module and it will work again
@@VKsChannel do you know perhaps whats the part number. whenever i try to search for the replacement part it always gives me a joycon parts or a gulikit for the deck 😅
For foldable models the old model is better because the port is on left side.
Hi can you give me an update does it still work this year?
I'm planning to buy it
yes it still works, but there is a new one coming for a review soon, the gamesir galileo
@@VKsChannelohh that's good but i think I'll go with this one
@@VKsChannelthanks for info tho thanks for the reply too
Egg NS is the switch emulator for Android, the yuzu is an emulator for PC
Yeah i mistook the names
My bad
@@VKsChannel Happens hahaha.
this and gamesir x3 ,which is better?
This one
The gamesir x3 have bad deadzones on the analog sticks
no audio jack is the deal breaker for me.
Gamesir X2 pro cannot use G touch??
Should I upgrade from gamesir x2?
Yes
It became heavy and big
do i need to have an xbox to use game pass?
No, just a microsoft account
You need to subscribe to gamepass ultimate to use the cloud service though
Will this gamepad work on poco x4 gt with dimensity 8100 processor?
lol why some1 buy x4 gt instead of god level poco f3? F3 is cheaper, has snapdragon 870, is faster and AMOLED not shitty IPS.
No it doesnt work with MediaTek lol.
@@Fioletowooki Dude, I don't like amoled screens, I like ips more. On Poco x4 gt it is very good. The Dimensity 8100 processor is also much better in gaming performance. As for the price, poco f3 is not much cheaper than poco x4 gt. ))) RAM is better and bigger on poco x4 gt. The poco x4 gt has wi-fi 6 support. Should I continue the list of differences? )))
@@Fioletowooki yeah amoled suxx.. Especially if made by samsung. Shit happens after 2 years
@@timurmukumov f3 has Wifi 6 support too, the X series of Poco is mostly known for bricking like the x3 pro.
Man i don't say your x4 gt is trash, but i would have went with the f3 gt or the new f4 gt instead lol.
Anyways your comment was 5 months ago, so maybe your opinion has changed ^^
Helo bro is it support egg ns?
The x2 pro does not suport, only the normal x2
recently bought it to use with my samsung s21 pro and fuck its a nightmare to configurate. x2 is way better, almost plug in and ready to play... with the new version it asks the phone every kind of weird permission so it can "almost" work fine... it totally fucks my screen touch once I get in game.. idk if im the only one with this kind of issue
The controller shouldnt ask for permission just the gamesir app
Are you sure its the official controllers?
You must have been on to something. Gamesir x2 usb-c had no lag. Such circuses were with pad bt.
Well on my tests it had
Compare it with a controller with a 2.4ghz dongle
Hi, im having a problem with redmi note 10 pro and Mi ui 13... The x2 pro does not connect with my phone.. anyone has the same problem?

Sub to the channel so you wont lose it
Hi does it work with a phone case on ?
No
Yes it works.
I have a regular X2 and have none of the issues you're showing. OG X2 is not trash. And the best part is it the USB-C is on the left instead of the right. That alone makes X2 better than the pro for Galaxy Folds.
wtf? My phones has it in the right side.
There are games that will refuse to rotate to the other side. That's why it sucks. Normal apps rotates to the right.
12:16 espera, o brawl stars está em português?
você é brasileiro?
Sim

Just go and buy the X3. It works perfectly plus the controller have additional RGB fan attached with the controller. Have test it with my Galaxy Note 9. The Type-C charging port work without any issue
The x3 have the same deadzones of the x2
In order to use the fan on the X3 it has to be plugged into a power source…. Sounds useless to me, but that’s just my personal opinion.
even worse, the x3 doesnt have analog triggers, which is a deal breaker for many
Even worse, the fan has a seperate port, so for using while charging your phone, you need to plug in TWO cables.
@@ropeburn6684Better to actually have that option instead of having to unplug the controller from the phone in order to charge your phone.
it works with switch emulation on eggns perfectly
You probably have paid the subscription as with the payment it allows the use of non compatible gamepads
@@VKsChannel no..
@@mirmir69420 weird.. my unit didn't work
@@VKsChannel get a replacement then
@@VKsChannel Nah don't believe him,the eggns emulator works only with the gamesir x2 brother.
This vs an xbox controller + a clip?
Both have different uses
Xbox + clip
You can use the controller on pc or with the smartphone docked but its not very portable you'll have more input lag because the connection is bluetooth and its not very nice to play when laying in your bed
X2 pro
You can play only on your smartphone, it is very confortable to play on your bed and its more portable and you won't have any input lag
@@VKsChannel for the inputlag you can connect the Xbox controller with a USB cable. But yeah it makes it even less portable. Once or twice per month I have to travel 6h by train for work and I don't know what would be the best option. Other than that I don't plan to play on my phone in bed or other places. I already have an Xbox controller so it's more like a clip like a PowerA MOGA 2.0 vs X2 pro.
@@Ogk10 well the x2 pro makes the experience feels more like a portable handheld but since you already have an xbox controller a clip is not a bad idea, and in fact its cheaper
@@VKsChannel Actually pretty much any controller that is like that and connects to your phone can be used on a computer through nvidia moonlight or steam link. That way you can also use your computer as if you were playing on a streaming service (such as geforce now, xbox cloud, but your computer is streaming to your phone instead).
The only thing that is disappointing is that the pro is not available for ios
Um, about that...
I go for gamesir X3 for cooling features
I returned mine today. I had a problem when you moved the left analog to 4:30 o'clock it stayed there. A similar problem was with the right analog. It was rubbing against the plastic. Do you have the same problem?
I had this problem with another gamepad the x1 and x2 pro are fine

This device sucks, can't get Bluetooth to work, and the LT trigger doesn't work, I've been hours trying to get the stupid thing to work and still no luck
It's not bluetooth, you must connect it to the USB C slot on the bottom
@VK's Channel it says in the app and on the website about Bluetooth connection, but without Bluetooth it still can't be used properly cos of the LT not working
did you try to configure it? some people mentioned something about holding select & rb until some light flashes then it should work. i think it's a glitch in the software & not hardware
@Luna ~ yeah, I tried everything, spent over a day searching for solutions, nothing worked, I sent it back so I solved the issue that way, lol
@@V3NOMFL what is your phone?
some users of xiaomi and huaway have reported compatibility problems
I don't recommend it my LT stopped working the first day.
