Gamesir: *makes budget controllers* Everyone: these are great, you should make a more expensive elite controller. Gamesir: got it. *makes cheaper controllers*
They are not interested in making money ..if they actually made a pro version ..just the essentials ..basically g7se with 4 paddles and swappable sticks ...they would force these other companies to do better ...
I'm from Brazil and this controller great for us, the difference from the Nova Lite to a G7 SE here is about 100 to 150 Reais, it's a lot, so even these controllers seems unnecessary for people with a good currency, they are very useful here, having a controller with Hall Effect for less than 200/250 reais is unheard so imagine how we are to get one for 100/150. For us they are the holy grail. Great review as always.
I needed another lil sibling controller and since i liked my cyclone pro so much i just auto buyed the nova the moment i could and it doesn't disappoint,
i bought two of these controllers. I have a living room emulator pc with a ton of couch coop games downloaded onto it, i only use the system in social settings and they’re fine cheap controllers that the guests can use happily.
I just got the nova lite. Pairing with the dongle was a pain because it doesnt tell how to put the controller into pairing mode first. After that hellish moment, i enjoyed it. Its so light and free. Im done with expensive ahh controllers after the elite n ps5 were having problems.
BIGBIG WON Rainbow Pro is my go to now. The Gamesir T4Pro used to be my fav, but I love the features, Swappable sicks/D-pad, and charging dock of the Rainbow Pro.
I’ve been using the g7 se for about 6 months now, and it’s probably the best controller I’ve ever owned. The t4 is great as well. I hope that going forward Gamesir focuses on creating premium controllers. They already have great controllers that are very cheap, not sure why they’re making even cheaper options. I would love to see them attempt to make a pro controller with all the fixings. Hall effect sticks, interchangeable sticks and adjustable tension, clicky buttons, multiple back buttons, wired and wireless, over-clockable, etc. I would pay the price for that if it’s coming from Gamesir.
Love to hear that bad boy has been working out for you. Yeah I also yearn for a high end gamesir, although their budget segment is full of good options now
01:45 ...... why with the black font on black background? it is really hard to read that EDIT: had the video on my secound monitor.... which have bad color hue. I take it back, on a good monitor, it is totally readable
Buddy I have a update: I just bought the gamesir nova lite for 16.50$ from aliexpress. I updated it to the lastest firmware using the gamesir app and the firmware version was 6900. LOL Now I get 1050 Hz stable in wired mode on PC and in wireless 125Hz consistent using the dongle. Plus I tried overclocking using the Lordofmice software but nothing happens. The above results stay the same which makes me think the controller is hardware locked.
@@jayyusi Works Great. No connectivity issues so far. I can easily switch between my PC, my phone and any Bluetooth device that I have connected it to. I am a mouse and keyboard guy so I don't really use the controller often. i just bought it for practice for when I want to play controller made games
Hi, I found on the internet that this controller can be connected to ps4, do you have any idea how to connect this to ps4? I already update to firmware 6900 and choose DS4 connection (the blue one), but it got me nothing. I tried to downgrade the firmware until 4000 but still not working. I hope you can help me with this problem. thanks
@@riyansabri If i am not mistaken the newer firmware updates have sort of changed the modes a bit. Like which colors represent which mode. For me the Blue color mode is Bluetooth mode. The Green color mode is Dongle Mode. The Yellow Color mode is Android/IOS mode and the Red is Nintendo mode. THis is on firmware 6900. So if you want to connect to a PS4 I think you need to go to Green Color mode and connect your dongle to PS4 and pair the controller to the dongle.
9:30 I tried registering my G7 and it did not work. I checked the discord and that fuctionality has been down for months. From the discord I get the feeling that their customer support personel are getting overwhelmed.
3:45 I just got the green Gamesir Nova Lite, and it most definitely doesn't have motion controls - there is no gyro on this. I also don't think its listed as having one. Thankfully not a feature I want, but giving others a heads up just in case.
25:10 Does the Gamesir Cyclone controllers show up as an Xbox controller on android? CoD Mobile works best with those types. ALSO --- 23:07 I identify with going on Amazon, and filtering by Low to High cost. "What is the cheapest hall Effect controller I can find"?
can you do some reviews of the EasySMX brand, mainly the x10 or x15? They are cheaper pro controllers with hall sticks around the ~$50 range. thank you!
I got the Gamesir G7 SE and returned it immediately after my first day with it. Gamesir is just a really cheap brand that so happens to have 1 or 2 'decent' quality but really doesn't compete with competitiors. I ended up going with Flydigi Vader 3 and is everything I ever wanted. Great for both competitive and casual gaming. Edit: ik I said immediately but I kept it for 2 weeks to give it an honest shot but it pissed me off to no avail. Never again.
@@garrettstrutz7421 what I'm saying is that the G7 SE was constantly giving me miss inputs / inaccuracy for the 2 weeks I had it. It affected me more so cause I was playing competitive / ranked.
@@SloRush Everything is in relation to the price. a 40 bucks controller that overclocks easy to 1000hz, doesn't seem like casual garbage. Of course there's better, but like I said, the vader 3 costs like 90 bucks, no? literally double.
It's more about the numbers, original controllers are expensive and use crappy sticks, meanwhile an ultra cheap controller with hall sticks is such a good bargain, no one wants to pay $60 or $70 on a controller that's gonna drift more than Donkey Kong
Hi, I found on the internet that this controller can be connected to ps4, do you have any idea how to connect this to ps4?

Get the mobapad again, I don't think this controller would do it justice because of how different both feel, I only got this controller because of the short triggers but I think the clicky ones from the Chitu are better than the silent membrane
@@ltyarv8071 too late xD. But to be honest I didn't liked the feeling of the mechanical buttons on the Mobapad very much, even if they're technically better. I was uncomfortable because those buttons have no resistance a soft push and the button goes straight down with the only indicator being the soft click. I guess I'm too used to membrane because the absence of something to press against threw me off. The Gamesir gives me the familiar sensation of pushing a button that I'm used to when playing without thinking about the controller.
Hey Capn' The rear binding likely requires the back button to be pressed again in order to record macros. The T4K has the same method where you press the button do the inputs you want, and then hit the back button to finish the macro. If this controller can't do macros, then it's likely a carry over from their controllers that do. Hope this helps.
Appreciate your reviews as always dude, starting to dislike these hall effect sticks though cant find any that feel perfect..nothing beats PlayStation sticks imo.
Hey man, I checked the Amazon listing (Nova Lute?). No rear buttons are present, are you reviewing a different model (the pre order)? Thanks! Maybe I clicked the wrong link
Dude, there are two different models: Nova and Nova Lite. Only the Nova has the back buttons. Also, the face buttons have different layouts: the Nova controller has the Nintendo layout while the Nova Lite has the Xbox layout.
Only here to say what I said in previous post we don’t care about this gameSir… give us 4 button Hall effect control that feels a lil nicer in hand aka rubberised plastic bonus points for clicky buttons or and tigers
I have the nova working on XBSX. I bought the dongle cheap on aliexpress. Using the Brook wingman xb2, the mayflash magic ns1 or 2 and the nova dongle. This is the nova and not lite. It plays fine and am currently playing Baldurs Gate 3 on xbsx. I like gamesir products and love the nova. That’s 3 dongles, don’t notice lag input. The ns 1 or 2 from mayflash works as a pass through.
Same issue. To solve it I installed Gamesir app on Android and updated the controller's firmware (from "4800" to 4200, really strange). Now I can use the controller in BT mode with computer (recognized as Xbox Wireless Controller).
The firmware has problems v 4200 doesnt have the ios/ds4(that doesnt works with the ps4) mode and version 5700 (latest) doesnt work with the dongle until you update the dongle's firmware using a tutorial that is not anywhere in gamesir's website. After updating the firmware on the controller and dongle everything works great.
From what I read and have heard from the manufacturer X input for Windows 10 and 11 PC is supported, but I did find a forum talking about getting GameSir controllers working on Lennox but it seems like a bunch of hoops to jump through. forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?t=35263
Man, I was really hoping for good d-pads. I love the shape and actuation on the G8 d-pad, and a cheap controller with that d-pad for home use would have been an instant purchase.
14:52 Can confirm, if you don't press the bumpers EXACTLY in the middle on the Lite, on the sides they have a strange springy-mushy noise and feel. So that means, during gameplay, every 3rd or 4th bumper press has a different noise. So off-putting.
hey i’ve searched everywhere and i can’t find this problem i’m having so i’ve tried a ps4 and ps5 controller on my pc but their is a large deadzone making games unplayable i play games like fortnite ,warzone and apex i’ve reinstalled drivers and fresh installed windows
What do you recommend for a controller if I am looking for a clicky good dpad? I have been using the xbox series x gamepad but looking at alternatives since those bois are expensive where I live q.q and I broke one already before due to my own stupidity.
Great review, even though they're cheap, for everything you've said both don't seem worth buying (kind of) depends on someone's budget ,but, even the G7/SE are cheap and worth the money.
just got the nova hd. and you can certainly remap the buttons by using the face buttons or hold the plus and minus buttons to swap the inputs. im sure youre already aware of this but it was almost a deal breaker for me.
man i got nova lite fort 20 euros and even tho i have the g7 i must say its a pretty ok controller for the price, a bit light weight but works wonders on my emulation micro pc.
Looking for new controller for the series x. Play mostly MLB the Show. Would like to try a gamesir. Mostly have just used Power A. Which gamesir would be my best option?
@@GamerHeavenOfficial well the same could be said about French and reading numbers in multiples of 20... or American English what others English speakers read as thousands Americans read as tens of hundreds ;) 3200 = thirty two hundred?
@@kamui004 yup. It's just a cultural thing. He's just being an ignorant american lol. However I would agree that it should not be on the international marketing material, but it's a minor thing anyways
I watched another review on the Nova Pro controller and they seem to hype up the HD Rumble in the controller. I don't think you mentioned that in this video. It was pretty important to the other reviewer I watched. Just a side thought. Nice video though : )
it does just tested it on it, just plug in dongle and it automatically turns red and works a switch controller Edit never mind only the cyclone pro in my testing does that but im sure this will get patched in an update
@@domenicdaluz Have you tried it in emulators and non Steam Games (and with Steam completely closed out in the background)? I noticed for some reason, Steam on Mac doesn't play nice with many Switch controllers, and even though it can't use them, it will still take control over their inputs, so just having Steam idle in the background will cause some Switch controllers to not work in a non Steam game, but once you close out Steam completely, they start working elsewhere in MacOS. This has been the case for me with several 8Bitdo controllers, and all the Nintendo Online classic controllers for Switch (NES, SNES, N64, and Genesis). If you could test that, I would greatly appreciate it, as I really want one of these controllers.
@@destructodisk9074 okay good news after hours of wasted time I figured it out the is that works best as of now for cross platform between PC and Mac and Android is v 4000. When in dongle mode switching between pro and x input is as simple as holding back and start buttons until it changes color red for pro controller and green for Xbox. Hopefully a update comes out that does this automatically like the cyclone does. Also no motion for the lite if that's a deal breaker for you
Hey man I bought the gamesir nova lite and it's awesome, it's light but the battery lasts longer than my OG xbox controller, connects instantly, rumble is great only thing that feels off is the ps3 style triggers on an Xbox style controller
@fuzzywuzzy0549No idea if the battery is easily replaceable, but they do work as wired controllers. The USB C cable bundled in is a too short, however. Any usb c cable should work fine.
I switched to all linux. Gaming recently. Switching my t4k to android gives me compability In every game even the ones on different launchers. Just a FYI cause I thought android compat was stupid
I just got this controller, imo it doesnt feel any cheaper than the xbox controllers you get with the xbox, in some ways it feels better because its a bit bigger, the buttons arent as clickie as id like them to be but it feels good not to have a controller that does whatever it feels like.
Nice Video, Thank you for this review. I own a Gamesir T4 Pro but I feel like I want a bit better sticks and triggers.. This controller is really good for me in most of cases, because I use the gyroscope. Also I use the trigger in racing games, but stick's aren't so good as they can be, and sometime I feel the delay in Super Meat Boy when I press jump while I'm running and I'm at the corner of the roof, the main Character just doesen't jump and he falls to the gap) Maybe can you give me an advice of the really worth controller with Gyroscope, good trigers (which will not work just like buttons) and quality sticks?

sim, comprei o meu por 86 reais na Aliexpress, com mais 24 reais de frete, ficou 110 certinho, ja chegou e eu gostei pra caramba do controle.
same here in pakistan, better controllers then the nova lite cost almost double so the nova lite is something like a miracle in this price range
still really happy with my t4 kaleid, super solid and amazing controller
No drift or issues and software is great
t4 kaleid and g7se owner here. g7se felt light when 1st using but works great. T4 has better weight imo and better switches
Right on Yoshi, thank you for sharing. Good point on the SE feeling light.
I prefer a light controller even though I liked the weight of the elite 2 when I first got it, unfortunately the left bumper on my t4k broke 😢
I took the rumbles out of the gamesir se now it's super light. Hoping to mod in another set of back buttons too hopefully it works
In my country nova lite is 40% cheaper than t4 cyclone, so probably it makes more sense in some regions than others.
I needed another lil sibling controller and since i liked my cyclone pro so much i just auto buyed the nova the moment i could and it doesn't disappoint,
This dude went on 5 minutes about the manual being multilanguage. I don't know why i should take the rest of the review seriously.

Great review, even though they're cheap, for everything you've said both don't seem worth buying (kind of) depends on someone's budget ,but, even the G7/SE are cheap and worth the money.
Nova Lite:
Can i connect Type-C to Type-C cable to my phone(android)?
yes
@@JorgeHSM thank you ^ ^
just got the nova hd. and you can certainly remap the buttons by using the face buttons or hold the plus and minus buttons to swap the inputs. im sure youre already aware of this but it was almost a deal breaker for me.
The lite comes in way more colors now and is only 17 bucks on aliexpress, mine should arrive any day
Hello Sir! Will the Nova Lite work on Android TVs?
Does it work with Apple TV 4K 3rd gen?
I'm new to controllers.. I've been using mkb for 8 years now and want to get a controller for cheap but not garbage.
What would be the recommendation
The one from this video, its 19 euro on geekbuying right now.... crazy cheap.
Will it work on my PS4 the lite one?
man i got nova lite fort 20 euros and even tho i have the g7 i must say its a pretty ok controller for the price, a bit light weight but works wonders on my emulation micro pc.
Looking for new controller for the series x. Play mostly MLB the Show. Would like to try a gamesir. Mostly have just used Power A. Which gamesir would be my best option?
G7 good sir
@@GamerHeavenOfficial ty brother. you are talking about the g7...not g7 se?
i play shooter fps games
i dont have much money, is the nova lite good for warzone and fortnite?(wired use) please reponse
20:55 In Asian cultures influenced by China, they use multiples of 10,000 for counting large numbers, thus 500x10,000 = 5 million.
Stupid
@@GamerHeavenOfficial well the same could be said about French and reading numbers in multiples of 20... or American English what others English speakers read as thousands Americans read as tens of hundreds ;) 3200 = thirty two hundred?
@@kamui004 yup. It's just a cultural thing. He's just being an ignorant american lol. However I would agree that it should not be on the international marketing material, but it's a minor thing anyways
We need a flagship gamesir controller
More money for gamesir in the cheap controller market. Maybe when they get more established they can afford a special full pro controller
Absolutely agree. I wanna see what they can do if they price it like it’s an elite.
Most def
Have you ever heard of Fantech EOS ?

She’s a little lady lol
I watched another review on the Nova Pro controller and they seem to hype up the HD Rumble in the controller. I don't think you mentioned that in this video. It was pretty important to the other reviewer I watched. Just a side thought. Nice video though : )
Hey, nice video.!Thanks for that. Does it works for macOS?
Nova lite support turbo feature or not?
Nova Lite is Bluetooth 5.0 or 5.3?
That's weird if it actually can't work on Mac, since MacOS has built in Switch controller support.
it does just tested it on it, just plug in dongle and it automatically turns red and works a switch controller
Edit never mind only the cyclone pro in my testing does that but im sure this will get patched in an update
@@domenicdaluz Have you tried it in emulators and non Steam Games (and with Steam completely closed out in the background)? I noticed for some reason, Steam on Mac doesn't play nice with many Switch controllers, and even though it can't use them, it will still take control over their inputs, so just having Steam idle in the background will cause some Switch controllers to not work in a non Steam game, but once you close out Steam completely, they start working elsewhere in MacOS. This has been the case for me with several 8Bitdo controllers, and all the Nintendo Online classic controllers for Switch (NES, SNES, N64, and Genesis).
If you could test that, I would greatly appreciate it, as I really want one of these controllers.
@@destructodisk9074 okay good news after hours of wasted time I figured it out the is that works best as of now for cross platform between PC and Mac and Android is v 4000. When in dongle mode switching between pro and x input is as simple as holding back and start buttons until it changes color red for pro controller and green for Xbox. Hopefully a update comes out that does this automatically like the cyclone does. Also no motion for the lite if that's a deal breaker for you
@@domenicdaluz Awesome, thank you for testing. I dont’ use motion controls so I should be good.
@@destructodisk9074 glad i could help
Hey man I bought the gamesir nova lite and it's awesome, it's light but the battery lasts longer than my OG xbox controller, connects instantly, rumble is great only thing that feels off is the ps3 style triggers on an Xbox style controller
@fuzzywuzzy0549No idea if the battery is easily replaceable, but they do work as wired controllers. The USB C cable bundled in is a too short, however. Any usb c cable should work fine.
Hi Gamer Heaven, have you ever thought about making your own custom controller? If money was no object, what would it look like?
I switched to all linux. Gaming recently. Switching my t4k to android gives me compability In every game even the ones on different launchers. Just a FYI cause I thought android compat was stupid
I just got this controller, imo it doesnt feel any cheaper than the xbox controllers you get with the xbox, in some ways it feels better because its a bit bigger, the buttons arent as clickie as id like them to be but it feels good not to have a controller that does whatever it feels like.
The Lite really looks like someone made a xbox stick version of the Google Stadia controller. I think it mostly down to the color scheme.
Gamesir Nova lite works on xbox ???
Nice Video, Thank you for this review. I own a Gamesir T4 Pro but I feel like I want a bit better sticks and triggers.. This controller is really good for me in most of cases, because I use the gyroscope. Also I use the trigger in racing games, but stick's aren't so good as they can be, and sometime I feel the delay in Super Meat Boy when I press jump while I'm running and I'm at the corner of the roof, the main Character just doesen't jump and he falls to the gap) Maybe can you give me an advice of the really worth controller with Gyroscope, good trigers (which will not work just like buttons) and quality sticks?
Can you use the nova on ps5?
can you use it while chargeing?
Yes, I've tried it.
@@franciscoalejandro7567 thank you
How does these work on xbox. It doesn't say on website and i couldn't understand in the video. Some help please. Am a subscriber.
Nope it doesn't work on consoles like PS4 and Xbox. Only works on PC, Switch, Android and Mac.
i got both of these for 30 dollars was it a good buy ?
You got both for 30 dollars in total? That's an awesome deal.
