Just a quick update: I've just checked and the Bluetooth one now works fine with COD Mobile, the USB-C one you'd need to use the Gamesir app to map the controls as it doesn't currently work 'out the box'
Thank you so much for the review! I wanted to get the bluetooth version for retro emulation on the z fold 4 (if i end up buying it) so its good to know there arent any latency issues. Ill use it with the s21 ultra in the meantime
for what game do you use? i also got a Poco X3 Pro and i want to use it for a Moba game but its not on the GameSir App list, do you think i can still create a custom keymap layout without beeing rooted ?
Just a note for the BT version with COD Mobile: if you pair in iOS mode using Pair + B buttons, it will show up as Xbox Wireless Controller. Pair in that mode and it will be recognized in COD Mobile.
yes that's what I have noticed also in my Gamesir G6 Touchroller, some buttons come out as Xbox buttons, but no problem with the gamesir's control mapping. So maybe the BT version of X2 is also as good as the type c since the input lag is not noticeable coz my G6s response when I play CODM is really great, so I'm thinking now to purchase the BT version first. 😊
I just hope that gamesir can make an updated USB-C version of the gamepad. If they add 3.5mm jack and a bit of ergonomic enhancement (e.g mini foot for pinky rest), it would be a perfect android gamepad for me.
Just found this video and I wish I had seen it before I made my recent purchase. I have The Z Fold 3 Mobile Phone and have a thick case on it, which I have to remove to use The GameSir X2 Pro. I am now going to purchase the BlueTooth GameSir, because I think that one will be alot better for me. Fingers crossed I'll be able to keep my phones case on! I was concerned about the latency issues, but it seems its not really an issue. Thankyou for the review!
You didn't go over the fact that with the Bluetooth version you can plug a USB cord directly into the charge port of the controller and plug the other end into your phone and use it directly via USB no input lag. Even windows detected the controller as a USB controller. Id love to find a compact 90° stubby USB c cord and try connecting the phone this way with the phone still in the case.
@@AndroidAddicts I can use mine with the phone case on, so the statement "the USB-C version doesn't allow you to use a case" is not entirely true since it depends on what phone and case you have.
I've got both. I love the type C version, but I got a new phone case and the USB insert no longer fits into my phone with the case on. That and the button layout is awful for Game Pass streaming and the remap doesn't apply to Streamed games. So I got the Bluetooth version to get around both those issues. Very happy with my decision, it works great for Game Pass.
So which out of the two you recommend for console streaming using xbox app??? Also is the USB-C version is tht much more responsive than the bluetooth version?
@@beats-by-skrill8925 I recommend the Bluetooth version for Xcloud and console streaming. The button layout of the USB C version is wrong and a lot of Xcloud games don't support button remapping. The Bluetooth version has a tiny bit more lag but it's not perceptible.
loved the review, for me the type C was the best fit for my needs, don't really need the versatility of the Bluetooth version, already have controllers that do that, wanted a simple plug and play controller and the type C is just awesome, have a poco f3 and even with the plastic case fits and works perfectly with the controller.
for what game do you use? i also got a Poco X3 Pro and i want to use it for a Moba game but its not on the GameSir App list, do you think i can still create a custom keymap layout without beeing rooted ?
@@funkymonkey981 dunno, I only use it for emulation, but since the game sir app lets you map keys in games like genshin impact I'm sure it should in theory be possible, but again haven't tried it my self so not sure
You don't need p use the game sir app you can use something like Mantis which you can map your controls with. I did a video on it here: ua-cam.com/video/kGA_3NoFnXQ/v-deo.html
Hello, nice review but for COD you can recozigne the GameSir X2 BT directly to Xbox Wireless Controller for what push and stay in same time Connect + B buttons, the LED light blinking to violet color and for reset connection push G + S buttons 😉
Hi there, thanks for watching. When this video was made it was not a recognised controller believe it or not! From memory it started working about October 2021 for the Gamesir which was about 5 months after recording this 👍
Loved the review! Im thinking about getting the USB-C one, mainly because of the convenience of not having to charge the controller. But I have a question, is there like a bundle I can buy for the USB-C one that comes with those thumbstick replacements? Because those you added to the bluetooth one looked very very nice. Anyways, thank you for the vid! had all it needed to have and more n.n
The Bluetooth gives more possibilities, probably works on Windows that may explain the reason for Xbox layout, you can attach phone vertically to play some old arcade Shumups or even attach a tablet 😄, versatility is the way to go. For me at least, TypeC only makes sense if I had a dedicated device for playing. Nice review
Saitake 7007x (or the updated versions), ipega red knight, flydigi wee 2T is less than the price of gamesir x2... Why? Because those controllers uses flex cable ribbon, that may cause problems everytime you stretched the item :(
Excellent review, spot on. Been doing some searching and can't find the info I'm looking for, you could tell me though. Is the Type C detected by CODM as it's run through the phone or not detected as you need to assign buttons working similarly as triggers do? I currently run Flydigi Stingers and my S20 Plus struggles. They work for about 10 seconds then the screen stops responding to their touches unless I lift my thumbs (effectively rendering me completely immobile while trying to shoot, not good). I've already ordered the Gamesir Type C but it just occurred to me the controller detection and I'd rather not limit my gaming to only controller users.
Hi there, thanks for watching. I've jhst tested it out and the Type C works absolutely fine in CODM without needing to do anything (although I did have to flip my y-axis in the settings). If you ever find a game doesn't support the controller out the box then Gamesir do have their own software mapping app or you can use something like Mantis which I did a video on here: ua-cam.com/video/kGA_3NoFnXQ/v-deo.html
@@AndroidAddicts does it show in the lobby that you are using a controller though? Appreciate you testing it for me, you didn't have to go to the trouble.
@@AndroidAddicts My Type C controller arrived a short while ago. Found that you can switch from codm supported mode to unsupported with button mapping. Works a treat undetected. 👍 I can set all the buttons how I want and not restricted to only controller users to play against.
WARNING Make sure your phone is compatible prior to ordering the USB-C version. A lot of Motorola phones are not compatible. The light will just blink & never connect.
Man am i glad i watched this. I was about to go with the Bluetooth because it is ''the latest and greatest'', but the fact that there is input lag and it requires charging, definitely going for the type-c. It has no battery, and it has pass through, and their is no input lag. Thanks for this great review! Whoa. This is so hard. The Bluetooth version supports a case, while the type-c doesn't. This will be harder than i thought.
The lag is rated the same as a ps5 or Xbox controller. The battery has about a 20hr battery life and the pass through charging only works on some phones and can damage some phones if it's not compatible.
I've just tried and sadly the Bluetooth one does not work in Dolphin (at least I can't get it to map to any buttons). The USB C version works fine though
@@AndroidAddicts yeah I opted for the gamesir x2pro what the type C and I must say I did everything to get retroarch on there even use the PS play Remote Play and everything ran smooth on it recognize the buttons I didn't have to set any buttons so next test is to do some Android apps
@@AndroidAddicts Tried it with the Note 10 Plus 5G too and it was a perdect fit than even the v60. Will do a video about it too. I actually did that of the Lgv60 with the lgv60. See it below. ua-cam.com/video/S_x5cRUQE90/v-deo.html
Really in-depth review. Nice job! I really dont like the clicky and loud buttons, that was a big turn off for me. At the moment my ds4 controller with phone holder attachment is doing fine, buttons are silent though the whole thing feels heavy at times which is why i considered gamesir. One feature i would love to see is wireless charging the phone on bluetooth version. It could work both ways 1- Phone charging the controller 2- When controller is connected to power source, it would wirelessly charge the phone and the controller. Now that'd be amazing 😁
That indeed would be really great! I did actually play around creating a wireless charging version of the controller but I'm not an engineer so it looked like junk 😅 - it did work though 😂
Weird indeed but an interesting question. I just tried it plugged into my Chromebook and it worked fine - I don't have a USB C connection on my PC however so I can't try it there...
Yes I've just tried it and it does work. Not sure why I didn't think to use a USBC to USB A cable in my previous reply but it works a treat. Just tried it on Xbox Game Pass 👍
I just ordered both the glap controller & gamesir x2 USB c from Amazon. They'll be here today. Do u notice any input lag with the Bluetooth verizon compared to the USB c version? I'm leaning towards the Bluetooth version because of how any phone can fit easily but idk..I just don't want any delay in my gaming. Btw I'll be playing on xcloud gamepass for all my gaming. Which one would u chose out of the 3..glap, Bluetooth or USB c? Thanks
The Glap has always been my favourite controller but I do like both the new Gamesir ones since they updated the d-pad and included the analogue cap things. Even though the Glap is only Bluetooth 4.0 I never noticed any issues with lag. With Game Pass there'll always be an amount of input lag due to the nature of what you're doing so to keep that to a minimum, USB C would be better. The main issue however will be the latency between you and the Microsoft servers...
for what game do you use? i also got a Poco X3 Pro and i want to use it for a Moba game but its not on the GameSir App list, do you think i can still create a custom keymap layout without beeing rooted ? can you recommend me a controller that lets me create a custom layout ?
for type C model, is there any connection issues with mediatek's smartphone? mine is vivo x70 that uses dimensity 1100..now on the fence whether want to buy or not due to this matter..thanks for info
Sadly I don't have the Kishi anymore but it'll feel similar to when I put my S8 in it which is a bit flimsy (the phones are nearly the same size you see)
"The convenience of not having to take your case off" lol I don't get why this case thing is such a big deal to people. It literally takes 2 seconds to take a case off. Anyway fantastic overview and comparison. Great job. I'm personally leaning towards the USB-C version for the charging capability. (Thanks for including the list of compatible phones).
It's one of those 'first world problems' I guess. It does only take seconds to take off but if you're doing it constantly throughout the day then it could get annoying. USB charging is a great addition as long as your phone is supported that's for sure. Thanks for watching!
Some very tight form fitting cases can be a pain to take on and off. Not having to remove it would make using this device on a bus much more practical.
Also some more robust cases are screwed together and there's the added risk of dropping your phone between swapping and breaking your phone just because your controller wasn't compatible with the case.
I had the USB Type C version but the Button Layout drove me crazy while playing xcloud and even more so on psplay for Playstation. Bought a Razer kishi and sold the Type C. The triggers are also much better on the kishi.
Yeah if you're a big Xbox player then I completely agree! I believe you can change the layout inside the Gamesir app but it's definitely best to have analogue triggers if you're a big Xbox gamer
I saw these on gamesir's site, hadn't realized that it was on Amazon yet. BTW, on the Bluetooth version with the ROG Phone, does it block the air vent ?
Probably will go with the Bluetooth version after all. It's a little bit cheaper on Amazon and it won't give me any issues with the camera bump when I get a Surface Duo 2.
@@AndroidAddicts On my iPhone 12 Mini, it seems to do alright with Steam Link. Not much in the way of latency issues that I could detect when playing Injustice 2 and Doom. Did have some issues with it disconnecting but it seems to have resolved itself.
i like how you informed that the button layout is different between the ones with USB-C port versus the Bluetooth one. I almost bought the USB-C one for xbox remote playing, but the ABXY is not synced with the xbox controller, so the bluetooth one is the one to get.
Hey there great video! By chance can you test out using the blue tooth version with an iPhone playing Apex Mobile??? Please, I just bought the X2 and I have an IPhone 11 Pro and I don’t know how to get it to work on Apex Mobile. It’s the only game I even bought this for.
Friend, Thank you very much for the video ... A question ... I saw that the GamePad Gamesir X2 has problems to map the buttons on the Redmi Note 10S, for compatibility with the MediaTek processor ... Please, have any idea about That, I want to buy it to play Genshin Impact ... Thank you
If you're using the USB-C version then it's highly likely your rear camera will be blocked. If you use the Bluetooth version you could in theory (depending on where your camera is) position the phone so the rear camera is not covered
This or the Shaks s5b with analog triggers? Intend on playing a lot of emulator ROMs on my fold 3, and I'm thinking not having analog triggers would hamper gameplay a lot.
If by definition, turbo mode is having the buttons press multiple timea when holding it, I can say that the x2 type has one, and its annoying me right now. If you want to confirm (please confirm i wanna know if mine is defective), go to the gamesir app, go to button test, now while holding g button. Press any button and you'd notice that the keys press repeatedly in a rapid manner, when g button is released, every time the buttons are pressed nd held, button press repeatedly. My problem now is, when i uae the controller in game, at times my "r1" would press repeatedly. I had the controller less than a month and haven't used it a lot yet. Need feedback please comment
The Glap is no longer available sadly but the main differences would be the size (X2 is a lot smaller) and lack of analogue triggers on the X2 controllers.
Do you know if these controllers support the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 in the screen open position? I would prefer not to take the cover off my phone so was looking at the bluetooth version.
Just a quick update: I've just checked and the Bluetooth one now works fine with COD Mobile, the USB-C one you'd need to use the Gamesir app to map the controls as it doesn't currently work 'out the box'
Whats one the best to buy i got poco f3 thanks in advanced :)

I want to connect a GameSir X2 Bluetooth Version to a PC.
Is it possible with a cable? Did you try it?
@@matheusbarreiros6073 windows should recognize the controller with a proper USB C cord (aka not a cheap USB C purchased from a gas station)

for what game do you use? i also got a Poco X3 Pro and i want to use it for a Moba game but its not on the GameSir App list, do you think i can still create a custom keymap layout without beeing rooted ? can you recommend me a controller that lets me create a custom layout ?
This controller as best then the saitake 7007x or the ipega pg-9217?
The three seems very similar, but the gamesir is so much expensive then both.
hi! Bro nice videos .... mediatek chipset support gamepad gamesir x2 ???
Hi there, I don't have a mediatek phone to test it with sadly so I can't say for sure
18:30 what phone you're using? Is that diablo 3 playable?
It's the Rog Phone 5. Yes it's playable 😎👍 I've had a few crashes but it runs really well
What is the maximum size of thickness? It's a valuable information in order to use smartphone with case.
Im thinking of getting the BT one, but im quite scared of the latency issue. Is it noticeable or not?
Ever connected a ps4/xbox controller via bluetooth? The latency will be the same
@@Pawn2e4 not necessarily. Some devices have more quality than others.
I have the same quesiton
Ever played a platformer with ANY input lag? It's terrible, haha.
This is rated at ~10ms latency which is about the same as a ps5 or Xbox series controller
for type C model, is there any connection issues with mediatek's smartphone? mine is vivo x70 that uses dimensity 1100..now on the fence whether want to buy or not due to this matter..thanks for info
What is the best the bluetooth one or the usb?
It depends on your use case really. I prefer the Bluetooth as it's easier to just 'turn on and play'
Gamesir or mantis, which do you recommend?
Gamesir is good but can likely be detected by games whereas Mantis cannot be detected...
what do you think it's better bluetooth version or usb type c ?
Bluetooth overall just for the convenience of not having to take off my case. If you don't use a case then USB C wouldn't be a hassle.
Please review razer kishi with s21, and how feel gaming, compare with gamesir x2 series. Thanks
Sadly I don't have the Kishi anymore but it'll feel similar to when I put my S8 in it which is a bit flimsy (the phones are nearly the same size you see)
Simple demonstration will be in bluetooth you can connect your Bluetooth headphone aur any headphone
"The convenience of not having to take your case off" lol I don't get why this case thing is such a big deal to people. It literally takes 2 seconds to take a case off. Anyway fantastic overview and comparison. Great job. I'm personally leaning towards the USB-C version for the charging capability. (Thanks for including the list of compatible phones).
It's one of those 'first world problems' I guess. It does only take seconds to take off but if you're doing it constantly throughout the day then it could get annoying. USB charging is a great addition as long as your phone is supported that's for sure. Thanks for watching!
Some very tight form fitting cases can be a pain to take on and off. Not having to remove it would make using this device on a bus much more practical.
Also some more robust cases are screwed together and there's the added risk of dropping your phone between swapping and breaking your phone just because your controller wasn't compatible with the case.
I had the USB Type C version but the Button Layout drove me crazy while playing xcloud and even more so on psplay for Playstation.
Bought a Razer kishi and sold the Type C. The triggers are also much better on the kishi.
Yeah if you're a big Xbox player then I completely agree! I believe you can change the layout inside the Gamesir app but it's definitely best to have analogue triggers if you're a big Xbox gamer
Awesome
Glad you enjoyed it!
I saw these on gamesir's site, hadn't realized that it was on Amazon yet. BTW, on the Bluetooth version with the ROG Phone, does it block the air vent ?
They only very recently became available actually 👍 There is no air vent on the Rog Phone 5 so no issues there 👌
@@AndroidAddicts would love to be able to have the ROG 5 BUT ROG doesn't work on Verizon
Probably will go with the Bluetooth version after all. It's a little bit cheaper on Amazon and it won't give me any issues with the camera bump when I get a Surface Duo 2.
Excellent choice - and I'll be jealous of your Duo 2!😎😎
@@AndroidAddicts On my iPhone 12 Mini, it seems to do alright with Steam Link. Not much in the way of latency issues that I could detect when playing Injustice 2 and Doom. Did have some issues with it disconnecting but it seems to have resolved itself.
I have a POCO x3, is it useful to emulate swich? if not I would go for the bluetooth version, thaks.
I like that you tested the analog sticks. Lots of these chinese brands are really sketchy about them
Usb-c problem: In 5 years, your phone will still be using Usb-c conector? thinking in the long term, the best would be Bluetooth.
Which one is thé best bluetooth version or type c version please ? I am gonna use it for egg ns emulator
You MUST use USB C version for EggNs to work 👍
@@AndroidAddicts thank you bro
i like how you informed that the button layout is different between the ones with USB-C port versus the Bluetooth one. I almost bought the USB-C one for xbox remote playing, but the ABXY is not synced with the xbox controller, so the bluetooth one is the one to get.
Glad to have helped - the Bluetooth one is great so you won't be disappointed!
I think you can change buttons in gamesir app like xbox controller
Hey there great video! By chance can you test out using the blue tooth version with an iPhone playing Apex Mobile??? Please, I just bought the X2 and I have an IPhone 11 Pro and I don’t know how to get it to work on Apex Mobile. It’s the only game I even bought this for.
I'm afraid I don't have an iPhone to try it out on!
which phone you use to play ?
In this video it's both my S21 and then the Rog Phone 5 for playing the Nintendo Switch emulator
Info sir, where did you get the Street of rage game?
It's on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. I did a video on it here: ua-cam.com/video/dwHPrKJqt5o/v-deo.html
What ios r u running?
Does Type C consume phone battery to work ?
If you buy from Ali express you'd be paying extra for Iva or not?
What's lva?
bluetooth with built-in wireless charger is what we want to see. Almost all phones do wireless charging now.
That would be pretty cool!
Cual es mejor para jugar cod y pubg? El tipo c o el Bluetooth?
Friend, Thank you very much for the video ... A question ... I saw that the GamePad Gamesir X2 has problems to map the buttons on the Redmi Note 10S, for compatibility with the MediaTek processor ... Please, have any idea about That, I want to buy it to play Genshin Impact ... Thank you
I don't have a mediatek phone to test them out on sorry!
are you able to use the rear camera though? im planning to keep it connected :/ it looks like its gonna block rear camera
If you're using the USB-C version then it's highly likely your rear camera will be blocked. If you use the Bluetooth version you could in theory (depending on where your camera is) position the phone so the rear camera is not covered
Are you using samsung galaxy s21 fe in the video?
No just the standard S21
@@AndroidAddicts Oh so it might fit too
Turbo X2 type c: press G+any button to activate, but to desactive I only disconnect controller
wish the type-c one would come in black,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
That'd be pretty cool👍
This or the Shaks s5b with analog triggers? Intend on playing a lot of emulator ROMs on my fold 3, and I'm thinking not having analog triggers would hamper gameplay a lot.
Good question, I might have to check out the Shaks one and see how they compare 👍
I’m assuming the Bluetooth version would fit an S21 Ultra in an Otterbox Defender?
Yes, should be fine 😊👍
Does Bluetooth works with game pass ?
Help can't connect gamesir X2 Samsung s21 ultra
If by definition, turbo mode is having the buttons press multiple timea when holding it, I can say that the x2 type has one, and its annoying me right now. If you want to confirm (please confirm i wanna know if mine is defective), go to the gamesir app, go to button test, now while holding g button. Press any button and you'd notice that the keys press repeatedly in a rapid manner, when g button is released, every time the buttons are pressed nd held, button press repeatedly. My problem now is, when i uae the controller in game, at times my "r1" would press repeatedly. I had the controller less than a month and haven't used it a lot yet. Need feedback please comment
How does this compare to the Samsung glap
The Glap is no longer available sadly but the main differences would be the size (X2 is a lot smaller) and lack of analogue triggers on the X2 controllers.
May update yesterday of the camera It was released in my phone exyons 2100
Still none for my Exynos in the UK 😭😭
@@AndroidAddicts I expect it will soon be released in your country and we are waiting for the review in your wonderful channel
Can the analog stick be pressed(L3 and R3)?
Yes, both have L3 and R3 👍👍
@@AndroidAddicts Thanks awesome
Yes u can

Do you know if these controllers support the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 in the screen open position? I would prefer not to take the cover off my phone so was looking at the bluetooth version.
Yes they certainly do! 👍 I'm using a Fold 3 myself
Did you feel any delay or it's not noticeable?
I don't notice any personally
@@AndroidAddicts on the bluetooth one?
The Bluetooth one is cheaper. I'm only playing FPS and MOBA games. Does it support mediatek devices?
I don't have a mediatek device to try it on sadly so I don't know
So using it without the phone connected and plugging in a USB c hub with a headphone jack could allow you to use wired headphones.
Might need to use a splitter
Yes, unless you have a 3.5mm jack 👍
So your mean if we connect a Bluetooth we can connect a Bluetooth headphone
Which one do you think is good x2 or x2BT
The Bluetooth is more convenient and the one I use the most personally 👍
The type c is compatible with switch emulator. Other than that i dont see anything better over the BT.
Hi all. I just bought a new tv will this work. Or where do I start
You should be able to pair it with your TV (the bluetooth version)
Can I connect the bluetooth version to raspberry pi with retropie? Can I connect it to other devices other than cp?
Since this uses Bluetooth...can you still use Bluetooth earbuds while being hooked up to the gamesir??
You certainly can! 👍
@@AndroidAddicts how do i do that?
Just connect to the Gamepad and then find your headset under your Bluetooth devices and click on it to connect
Android supports way more than two Bluetooth devices simultaneously so you'll be alright.
