Fun fact, my Pixel 5 also didn't fit that great in the controller, and GameSir does state they designed this to work without cases.
Check out the GameSir X3 here, with the full list of compatible phones: bit.ly/gamesirx3mrsu
My phone wasn't in the compatibility list for passthrough charging (there is one at the bottom of the preorder page on gamesir website and on the bottom of the indiegogo campaign) and the first time I plugged a cable in the port of the X3, it didn't charge my phone. However when I used another one, a more powerful one, it did work. So I'm actually thinking it's not linked to the phone but the brick I plug it in.
@@Mixcraftio woah are you sure? Is the brick that worked a turbo charge?
@@Deeyenen it's a kind of random brick as it was given by my school. It's main purpose was to charge a little laptop so it's still quite powerful.
What do you mean "fit that great"? Was the pixel 5 too big? Too small? Did the charging not work? I'm confused because compared to many other phones it is small and does not have a large camera bump. What exactly is the issue?
I really wish 8BitDo did a similar controller with the same "put phone inside" form factor. Their quality + this setup would be godly.
Hell yeah
+1. Love their controllers. The D-pad is so great and they also provide a Turbo button in most models. An 8bitdo telescopic controller would be so amazing!
Agreed
Yes.
@@sumit92artist I just got the pro 2. I love the buttons, but frankly I find the dpad HIGHLY dissapointing. Its just sooooo much worse than the dpad on my vita....i want that dpad in an 8bitdo controller
love the etaprime plug! always glad to see tech and gaming youtubers collaborating
I'll be sticking with my x2. Absolutely love that controller
Thank you so much for covering the camera bump issue.
No case: no go
Non-optional fan: no go
Noisy switches: no go
Badly calibrated analog sticks: no go
Considering the new kish and backbone with type c for similar price: no go
Which is bad, because the magnetic buttons are a very nice feature, but having to put up with all the negatives do get it, well, too bad
Looking forward to Kishi V2 review on your channel
Great over view and review my friend! I have this pre-order atm and I have the first 2 models including the bluetooth varrient that i use for work. I like them personally but this fan may be what I need for when running a dev kid phone cause they get hot let me tell you so hot i have to use the game pad or risk of burning my finger tips. Keep up the good work with all that you do!
The umbrella logooo!! Imm not the only one whose seen that series
For me the gamesir x2 is still better than x3. It's awkward and weird when you use it while travelling because of the fan (useless and needs another cable) and the size of the controller itself. In terms of price, X3 is almost doubled compared to X2 so it's not really worth it.
Just say you can't afford it
@@bayharbor8505 just say you can't accept the fact that people have opinions and preferences
@@bayharbor8505 sounds like you are coping beacuse you spent double the price of x2 and get a worse controller lmao 🤣 sick useless fan man
The cooling fan should be a top priority if you're gaming. Phones these days get hot and start to have frame stutter
@@TheKyuubi47 so true. I hope that the nxt generation SOCs would be able to address that issue or at least minimize the heat generation.
i like GameSir X2 Type-C then the GameSir X3 Type-C, i mean GameSir X3 Type-C looks bigger and looks seems to be heavy, plus the fan sounds annoying, wait until GameSir X3.1 Type-C released xD
looks perfect for my Note 10+ gaming beast of a cell lol (ETA Prime is an awesome channel as well)
Hey! Can you let me know if the Note 10 runs PS2 Games Please?
@@asaeltorres7340 yes. The snapdragon version
8bitdo when?
If you play on gamepass, the button will be very different, for instance, "A" and "B" buttons functions are switched, as well as "Y" and "X" button. So in order to select a game you have to press the "B" button.
is this worth it over x3? i don't really "need" a cooler and x2 already have thumbstick extensions
If the fan only works when externally powered then it renders it less useful as a portable device. The lack of analogue triggers is a deal breaker. I do like the case and interchangeable options. But that price! No way. Controllers are still the most marked up area of gaming and have far less tech in them than the price deserves. If this was for an iPhone then things would be different because Apple users prefer spending more for their accessories. With the number of USB-C controllers for phones being very sparse and the ones available having too many shortcomings, there is an obvious space in the market for somebody else to come in with something both better and cheaper. Having a combined USB-C and Bluetooth one would also add to versatility.
7:11 Thank for tested the left joystick ... GameSir X2 Type C and Bluetooth the same with the left joystick not working well ...
The larger/thicker size, smaller USB-C and poorer Joysticks are actually a downgrade from X2. Good Joysticks were one of the selling points of X2. Two years ago, not many telescopic controllers were there that had good Joysticks. I specifically searched for telescopic controllers with good Joystick and Gamesir X2 came up in research and I ordered it. Some of the features here in X3 aren't even needed. Like the changeable D-pad , the Fan and longer sticks. If they could've done without those and added Analog triggers, it would have been a much better upgrade. The X2 is so good! If it ain't broke, why fix it? As far as I know, the only major issue for certain people in that model was the Nintendo Layout.
I would stick with my X2 and probably wait for Gamevice for Android.
best way to play with controller is buying the clamp attachment. I have ps4 controller and using clamp to hold the phone and controller together.
One thing I really wish a wired mobile controller had is a headphone jack
Honestly, I wouldn't take this over the X2. And even if I were to spend the extra buck, it'd go to the new Kishi V2.
Thanks for mentioning the camera bump, I don't think my note 20 will fit well enough to cool properly
Insane 2 years later and this is STILL the ONLY usb cooling fan controller. I do wish the phone charged the fan, or maybe it had a battery? Am I asking too much? I want a MOBILE gaming machine, if I have to plug in then it isnt mobile. Im using this anyway since there is literally no other choice
Yeah i agree with you. To add up if the phone has bypass charging its awesome with this because its usb c
You just saved me some money 💰
Can you use comfortable the touchscreen instead of the joystick with the right hand to aim more accurately in FPS games? Great review!
Hi Mr. Sujano! Love your content. Been looking forward to a sequel to the X2. By any chance, does the X3 allow data passthrough via usb-c? Perhaps for a usb-c headphone jack? I wouldve gotten an X2 but the absence of a headphone jack is a dealbreaker for me.
After seeing this I've gone for the version 2 one. Thanks for helping this decision
Powerful woodcutter's beard 💪🏻
nothing that matters to me was fixed or made better for the time being I'm thinking of buying the backbone for android since it has a headphone jack and that is a big thing
left joystick has factory defect, you should send it back for replacement
The fan is...strange. If it will use the phone battery it would make more sense, but it needs a direct connection via USB C. I don't see much point in changing my X2 since I use it mainly for when I'm not at home, having that fan feature doesn't really have a benefit. In fact, when I'm at home, I prefer to use an Xbox one controller than a handled one, and so it would be easier to attach a fan, if I need it
Love ur reviews is more in depth
I'll stick to the Kishi most likely.
I'm surprised to see you review products from Gamesir considering how against their Switch emulator you are.
Nice review!
Is there any controller that can accommodate the Galaxy Tab s7?
Does the controller power on automatically after connecting a phone? Or is there a separate button for it?
Fantastic Review and you save my money, I'll just invest in X2 instead. Good job buddy.
this is my opinion on these new controllers like the gamesir x3 and the razer kishi v2.I am convinced that they have put the microswitch technology on the buttons and on the directional cross because the microswitches have a high average duration, but once damaged the user will be forced to buy back the controller, if they had left the conductive membranes, which represent the best choice, it would have been enough to replace them, spending a few dollars and the controller would have continued to work for a long time.Crafty these companies! I think that if all the controllers of the nintendo and sony consoles have conductive membranes there is a reason and it's constituted by the fact that the latter return a much better tactile feedback than microswitches! The only serious company, in my opinion, that works very well remains the 8bitdo, which sells all conductive membranes on the site.
yeah at this point i think any new premium controller just needs to have analog triggers
I am admittedly a racing game extremist tho so i may be a bit bias
They could have raised the cooling plate 3 mm or 1/8 of an inch so that phones with thick or big camera bump can still fit on it.
it is Not a wired controller, you do need to plug it in if you want to use the fan tho
Hope they make an x3 Bluetooth the fan idea is neat.
i love my x2 i use it with my s10e oled
Nah, I'll stick with Dualshock 4. I can use it with Bluetooth or wired using OTG. Great video, by the way.
The only thing it upgraded from the previous version was the fans and dpad layout. Overall its still bad in terms of performance. The buttons were all Tactile once, its the worst button to go with the controller. Ever.
This review is sorely lacking a major critique and that is how it actually plays when it comes to games. I mean that is kind of the whole point of the controller. I actually got one of these from the indiegogo campaign and was one of the three lucky people to get the Snowgon and funny enough, I'm actually having a better experience with the Snowgon I think. I'm just enjoying have it cool down my phone as it does help performance and I tossed aside the included joystick. The X3 though feels absolutely fantastic in the hand. Really solid build and a great carrying case. The software though is absolutely atrocious. I bought the controller with more of an intention as using it for games that don't already have controller support and it's just very awkward to use with some games. It took me forever to get the right analog stick setup for touch control on Apex and even though it feels pretty solid in the firing range, as soon as you jump into a match it's terrible. That could be up to aim assist, though I had it off and on and it still felt bad, or it could just be the software which is extremely buggy. Overall I'm torn, on the one hand the X3 feels amazing to clutch. It feels really well thought out and designed, but actually using it is another story.
Love eta prime 🙋♀️
Don't see the point of the Cooler at all. You can get the exact same effect just by taking a few thermal pads and using them to directly connect your phone to an aluminum case. Or even just a flat piece of copper with a cutout for the cameras. Dramatically increase the thermal mass of the device that way and get several degrees lower temperatures on average. I can't understand people putting fans on their phones.
Hello,i want to buy this type-c controller for my poco x6 pro,you think it gona work fine with this phone? Thx for answer :)
I have the series 2 Bluetooth I could use the cooler portion. The thumbpads are small. The thumbstick covers come off easily and have lost 2 of them because of this.
Just bought this and i cannot get it to work. Do you have to do anything once you connect it to your phone? I have a samsung galaxy s21+ if that helps.
there isn't enough options out there for wired connection and I don't understand why, or why the wired options always seem to be more expensive than Bluetooth options! no Bluetooth module, no battery , should be alot cheaper!
I just got Hogwarts Legacy and get lazy sitting up playing it on the TV so I'm thinking about getting this. Just kinda iffy if the game will run good on a Galaxy s9?
I possess one and I was pretty disappointed by their new D-pad. I think X2 had a better D-pad...
I have redmagic 6r same as your phone is the cooling is ok on 6r because of camera bumf
I have the x2 and it’s pretty good but nope to this one
I wonder if I can fit my legion duel phone 2 in that controller (my phone has a slight bump on the back so it's not completely flat)
Overpriced
very much so, Still go for the kishi and the original kishi is fine. Analog triggers remappable buttons mechanical buttons great d pad etc.
If I try to charge my phone the controller is not working anymore, anyone has any ideas why? The only solution is to charge my phone separate and then put on the controller
Hi, can Xperia Pro-I fit this controller without any problem with camera area ? Thanks so much
i have lenovo legion 2, 6.9 inch. in my gamesir x2 it doesnt fit, im wondering if this gamesir x3 will fit on my legion phone?
Good video!
How are the d-pad diagonals?
If they had analog triggers. Instant buy for x2(better) or x3. Instant buy.
Too bad.
I used to have Azus ROG phone with Kenai.
It wad good, but now, not an option.
Like the look of gamesir, but need analog triggers or no buy.
Does it have l3 and r3 buttons??
Hope they make a Bluetooth version soon.
Why? The wired one is better because there is no input latency. That's the only reason why I got this one over the X2 Bluetooth. The X2 USB C had the face buttons set up like a switch and that doesn't work for basically all other platforms. If you've got an iphone and that's why you want Bluetooth, I'd say just wait till they make one with a lightning connection. Unless there is some other reason you want Bluetooth?
Love it. For my fold 3 phone it's always cool, with this controller. For a 100$ it's Worth Every penny.
Analog triggers?
Razer kishi better ??
I have an asus rog phone 3 would gamesire x3 would work for it
$99 for a fan with shit cable and digital triggers....so r they going to price the x3 pro as $150?
I took x2 instead of x3 solely because my phone is the z fold 3, anyone who owns it would know why.
wish i had this one.😢
I wouldn't buy it just for the micro click sound on the D-pad
The backbone and kishi v2 are a lot better than this. I cannot believe the gamesir controllers are so expensive. They seem like $50 dollars, this being twice that is crazy. Even the previous game sire, why would anyone buy it versus the first kishi which is $45!
So the dpad is none existence.
U forgot to say that it is too associated with egg ns the scamulator
Expensive trash no thanks
This controller is trash after 2 weeks of owning it is not working once I connected to my android the blue blinks but it doesnt work at all no egg ns no nothing ... very expensive controller do not buy. also the bluetooth one is a joke you cant use it with egg ns and it cost almost 100 usd
Needs external power for its cooler with no dedicated battery lmao no thanks ill stick with my x2 controller
its flex ? no thank you then.
