The GameSir Connect app has been updated, and is now viewable in English. Gyro is now supported with the new update, and firmware update is also available directly in the app! As @PipsterSays pointed out in a comment, if you previously had the Connect app installed, you'll need to uninstall and reinstall the new version in order for the language update.
@@fasihzubair481 Glad I could help! Not surprising that it’s hard to find, since GameSir doesn’t advertise the feature anywhere, and the only way to set it up is through the Connect app, which still doesn’t support any additional languages beyond Chinese. Its kinda weird that it’s launched globally now, but they haven’t updated the app.
Just a heads up, there is a new version of the dongle firmware that I referenced in this video. It still shows up as V10, but it is different...and it enables 1000hz wireless polling rate. A little shocked by this, since they only advertised 500hz, but not complaining! On the downside, as a viewer commented this morning on the original Tarantula Pro review, keyboard inputs are only working in wired mode. I just tested this myself after updating the dongle firmware, and he is correct. I'm not sure why this is the case, but its unfortunate for sure.
Hello , i want to buy this , but confused , if i want wireless 1000hz , which one i should get ? Should i tell them , i want the new version or what is the difference between the ones 125hz and the 1000hz ones ? Thanks a bunch dude
@@hapebarucuykuy6606 hey man, sorry for the confusion. The Tarantula Pro now supports 1000hz wireless. It’s not a new version of the controller, just an update. So when you update the firmware via the app, the dongle will be 1000hz wireless. Hope that makes sense.
Appreciate the early translation! And great tip on the mute macro, will come in handy for my own geezer group! The Elite 2 is my current pro controller, so great info there too. (I got the Scuf paddles too, and while they feel more responsive I found the stock ones were more comfortable for me.) Looking forward to more updates for both.
Thank you, glad I could help! As far as the Elite 2 paddles, I love the scuf ones because I discovered I could just use my middle finger for both buttons, and I prefer that typically. If you're using ring fingers too, I would guess they would be less comfortable than the stock ones for sure!
Yooo! This made me even more hyped for this controller! Thanks for sharing. Also when controllers have the option between hair trigger or mechanical trigger stops - I prefer the hair triggers because when I'm super focused I tend to squeeze really hard. The trigger stops on the V4P and esmx x20 are uncomfortable to me for this reason and cause more strain on my already beat up hands.
@@StardustLegacyFighter you know, I’m not sure. If a controller has mouse click triggers I turn them on then move on with my life, so I’m having a hard time recalling if I’ve seen another one that has both options lol.
@@StardustLegacyFighter FlyDigi Vader 4 Pro you can adjust it in the software to make them hair triggers without the stop or change to mouse click switches.
goobatroopa_ Ah I see, so in most cases, hair triggers can be set via the software if that specific controller has mouse click switches instead of mechanical trigger stops.
The Elite 2 genuinely makes me sad, because it's a controller that has almost everything that you could physically want from a pro controller, but the sheer number of issues it suffers from is just too much to handle. It's highly improbable, but if Microsoft were ever able to get their head out of their asses, they could make a killer controller with the Elite 3.
@@StardustLegacyFighter this is pretty much my dream…that Microsoft will decide to do Hall effect sticks, mouse click triggers, and a respectable polling rate on the Elite S3. Definitely not holding my breath.
STFU I'm in the Gulag is the realest thing anyones ever said, I get run up on all the time cuz all I hear is yap yap yap, from one old man to another sir thank you for the in depth reviews!
Great video. Do you mind testing if this controller can work with analog trigger and gyro at the same time in dualshock 4 mode? Just a look at the Steam input calibration would suffice. Thanks!
@@xXTheUknownClassXx Sadly no, just taking my chances with Chinese distributors on Ali Express, and hoping I don’t get a box of crayons in the mail instead of a gamepad 😂
I’ve actually tried reaching out to GameSir a couple of times, but no response so far. Maybe if the channel keeps growing they’re return my emails someday lol.
@@xXTheUknownClassXx it could happen! BEITONG reached out to me on the Asura 2 Pro+ NearLink that I just reviewed, and EasySMS has indicated they will contact me on future releases, so I’m hopeful!
This update make me really interested in the Tarantula I play on PC with gyro aim and map everything to kb&m inputs on steam, I stopped using right stick to anything camera related so it's now a 4way Dpad but even with those extra 4 inputs sometimes it's not enough for games like Apex
@@alanbenyamin487 Thank you! 1000hz was stock. I actually had it for about a week before I figured out where/how to update the firmware, so was running at that 1000hz out of the box.
They do not...and I just updated the dongle firmware before testing this, as someone posted that there is a new dongle firmware (still shwos V10 in the link, but it definitely is a different verison). Wireless is now registering as 1000hz, but unfortunately it appears keyboard inputs only work in wired mode. I missed that when testing before, and its a little disappointing.
Its also a little confusing, since the keboard inputs work in wired mode without the app running. So I'm not sure why they wouldn't work in wireless mode.
@@OldManRob13thanks for the response, it was driving me nuts lol...Maybe when the software is out of "beta" / English version is released it'll allow for wireless kb input, also would love to see profiles
@@PipsterSays Agree, hopefully something that gets addressed in the future. Working on a review of the BigBig Won Blitz 2 currently, and I just tested to make sure and keyboard inputs do work in wireless mode, so thanks for pointing this out to me, otherwise I likely wouldn’t have thought to check on that gamepad!
@@OldManRob13 I have no idea what I did, but I now have the ability to use keyboard inputs on wireless.....I upgraded receiver and the gamepad to the latest firmware per your last comment, v2.04 on controller and dongle v10. Downloaded/installed yesterday, nothing worked.....restarted my pc this morning and it works now!!!! Still would like profiles to store specific game loadouts, but hey, I'll take it :) Controller = GDF-G560159(G_For_T3P_V2.04)_1072_V1.0_240930, Receiver = Customer_GDF-G760402_CA4D_V10_240930a
Do you need to keep Gamesir connect app (or some services installed with GS connect if it’s installed) opened to fully use keyboard keybinds on mappable buttons? This is a crucial part for people want zero bloatware and software leaking CPU delta cycles.
So i have the scuf envsion pro and in order to get keyboard functions to work, Icue would have to stay open and running in order to get keyboard mapping. Is the T3 the same?
@@vinny3139 Nope, tested that specifically multiple times. The keyboard inputs save on board, so don’t have to have the software running for them to work like iCue, and don’t even have to open the software when you first turn on the controller like you do with the Vader 4.
@@vinny3139 I do have an envision pro, did a review on here for it about a month ago. As far as responsiveness and accuracy goes, I would give the nod to the Tarantula for sure…but I will say that I actually like the design of the envision a lot better - 4 very well placed rear buttons, and I actually like the side buttons. I know some people don’t, but those are my favorite 5th/6th button placements of any controller. I don’t use the envision much because iCue is so damn annoying, but if you’ve been using it consistently, I’ll warn you that going from 6 extra like, actually usable inputs, down to 2, feels pretty rough.
@@OfficialMyMindset It doesn’t appear to be, like if I look at connected devices..to be honest I’m not sure how that part actually works. You can do the same on the Vader 4 Pro and the Elite Series 2, and with both you don’t need the app running in the background, the keybinds on the controller just work.
@@OldManRob13 Nice man thanks for the details! One more thing haha, do you know if other sticks fit on the controller? Like, does it have the same mold as the ps5 sticks? They really should have had other sticks with it like high, medium etc.
@@CaptnYestrday started to comment on your comment on the first video, but I see you found the follow-up! Thanks for the support! Yeah, I saw results were posted on GamePadLA. I don’t really play wireless ever, but I know a lot of people do, so very unfortunate.
