While there’s no dearth of game controllers that you can pair with your smartphone, finding a good one that doesn’t cost a fortune can prove to be a hassle. To bridge this gap, Chinese game accessory maker GameSir has launched a new mobile game controller and a tablet game controller.
GameSir X2 controller supports both Android phones and iPhones and turns your phone into a Nintendo Switch-like console. It connects to devices via Bluetooth. You can even use the controller to play games on popular cloud gaming platforms like Xbox Cloud Gaming, Google Stadia, Nvidia GeForce Now, and Vortex.
As the name suggests, the GameSir F7 controller is made for tablets such as iPads and other Android tablets. The company calls it the first capacitive gamepad for tablets, and could be a godsend for PUBG Mobile and Call of Duty Mobile gamers. It is designed with on-screen control games in mind. This one can be used with devices of thickness ranging from 6mm to 12mm.
The controller follows a suction cup design and has L1/ L2, R1/ R2, and two Turbo buttons. These Turbo buttons control the burst frequency of the L1 and R1 buttons, plus you get three different turbo modes to control the speed of the turbo buttons. The controller also offers 120 hours of usage time and charges within 2 hours through a USB-C port.
