- Gamesir's Nova Pro controller actually surprised me...
Gamesir have just launched the "Nova" controller, a pro controller for the Nintendo Switch with HD Rumble, Hall Effect joysticks, Gyro, Turbo, Macro, Button Swap, Programmable back paddles, Wake From Sleep & Multiplatform capabilities... All for £39.99, but how does it perform?

I'm glad that HD rumble is becoming a standard feature in third party controllers
Absolutely agreed! Everyone's argument previously for companies not using HD rumble was it would drive the price so high but this proves that's not the case!
Do you know how to active the rumble in iOS?
I just love how you review this without expecting too much for it's price. This only cost around 15 GBP in my country. I've been watching so many reviews from GameSir Nova Lite to GuliKit KK3 Max, and I am thinking that this one is pretty decent for it's price.
✓ Hall Effect Joystick
✓ Digital Triggers
✓ Back Paddles
✓ HD Rumble
+ Case
My Mobapad Chitu controller got stolen in Decemeber and i really miss it but this seems to be a great option for a replacement. It has practically the same features minus NFC that i don't use.
I've had the gamesir G7 SE for xbox with hall effect sticks for about 8 months, and it still has no drift at 3% dead zone. It's the only controller I've ever had that hasn't got stick drift after 3 months, it's insane. I definitely trust gamesir, but this is anecdotal keep in mind.
I'm 51 iv gamed since 1980 I have only ever experienced drift on joycons no controller has ever drifted on me accept the release night of switch 2017 day one my joycons drifted 30 minutes after the midnight release I had no idea wtf was happening thought my switch was drunk.. this drift thing is hyped up on the net like everything else.... n64 gc switch wiiu dreamcast etc etc etc all og all still work perfectly
Great review as always
HD rumble lets go!
Covered everything... :) How long does it last on full battery?
The thunder robot g45 pro is very similar. But doesn't have hd rumble but do have NFC
Great review i love your gaming controller reviews
build quality wise how does it compare to the 8bitdo ultimate
Ordered one for $26 since my Rival Labs controller has stick drift that I had since 2020.
They need to remove that logo.
Love your vids. Unrelated question - i bought the mobapad hd’s and when i use them to play any n64 game on nintendo online they constantly vibrate. Do you know of a solution besides turning off vibrate in the settings? Thanks!
Fixed it? Liking the controller?
So ive got 2 of these and the weird thing is one has that whine you mentioned and you can hear and feel the motors turn off.
The 2nd one has no whine and you can't hear or feel the motors turn off but the rumbe feels stronger.
Oh weird! Maybe the one that doesn't whine is a newer batch with a different rumble motor, maybe they fixed it!
@@128KB maybe, it's my newer one that has the whine which is the transparent blue one but I suppose it could be from an older batch, the Gameboy style one is fine and I ordered that first.
Does this work with the 8Bit do dongle version 2?
Can you please review flydigi apex 4?
No mention of the massive battery in this controller? 😋
Which is better controller? This gamesir nova or 8bitdo ultimate?
I have this exact same question. Hopefully we get a reply
@@curreye Careful with 8Bitdo, in the span of 16 months i've owned one 8bitdo Pro 2 and one 8Bitdo Ultimate wired and while I love the software and face buttons the shoulder buttons break VERY easily, on my 8bitdo pro 2 the RB broke after 6 months of light use, on Ultimate the LB broke too, something with the plastic sinking in, I say stay away from 8bitdo and try a gamesir or Pro Vader 3 if you want 3rd party.
i have both. my opinion is that ultimate beats Nova. Due to the dock, the 2.4g receiver and the quality materials, the two are incomparable. Nova is an cheap (and good) HD rumble- and hall effect controller. Ultimate BT is a premium controller. The shortcomings of Ultimate (on Switch) are non-lockable triggers and the lack of HD rumble (amiibo doesn't count for me).
How about a pooling rate for bluetooth or via dongle?
500hz and 2 ms consistent imputs triggers and very clicky back buttons are perfectly placed so I ordered one sticks are perfect zero circular....
@audie-cashstack-uk4881 Thank you for the info. I'll be ordering mine after a few more weeks of observation
@@audie-cashstack-uk4881 thanks for this information 500 hz is good for this price, thank you.
Does it work as a pro pad on STEAM OVERLAY & gyro
Yup
OK I’m gonna be honest. This is a very impressive controller. It has wide range just like 8bitdo, but if I had to pick a great switch controller, I would stick with the MOBAPAD Chitu HD
Does anybody else experience their Mobapad Chitu controller randomly disconnecting from the switch?
Does Nova can do firmware update? If it is, How?.....
Just got mine last night.....
at 1st, somehow my switch can't detect my Nova in NS-Pro Mode (Home+X), but it does in "Receiver Mode" (Home+Y, assuming this mode is for wireless dongle)...
I reset my Nova with its reset button on its back, and my switch able to detect and connect my Nova in NS-Pro Mode (Home+X)......
but then, while using, sometimes my Nova's input get unresponsive...it doesn't disconnect from My switch, it still stays connect but my input gets unresponsive time to time... I was out of time today so gonna test again later at night by resetting my Nova again, as well my Switch too while on it to see if it persist...
Hi!
Try to hold the home and record button simultaneously for 3 seconds and reconnect
Tell me how it goes!
record button? you mean screenshot? thats forced pairing mode right? haven't tried yet on my switch, only on my Android when my phone cant detect Nova in android mode (Home+B)....
last night, tried to do it again...
i unpaired my controllers on my switch, and tries to pair the Nova again in procon mode (home+x), ofc somehow switch cant detect, i mindlessly repeatedly pressing the pro-con mode combination, till it got connected, like last time...dunno how.... anyway, played a couple of game after that, the unresponsive input is gone somehow, so i probably wont bother unpairing my Nova again....well, as long it doesn't get any issue like unresponsive input, but if it happened again, gonna try the force pairing on my switch next time.
oh yea, after unpairing it for 1st time....the wirelss/receiver mode (Home+Y) wont connect on my switch, which that's supposed to be... it was weird when it does connect before...
How does this compare to the Mobapad Chitu HD?
a comparison WILL come.
This controller is only $20 SRP in my country. And the only option is the transparent one.
thats a good price
Everybody just need to pay 8bitdo to make dpad for them.
100% YES!
Does it work for windows
Yes, wired.
If u want to go wireless, buy the Nova Lite, it come with the dongle.
@@HarpaxA The regular Nova also has a dongle, though it needs to be purchased separately. Will allow for dongle Xinput.
The Nova can be used with Bluetooth in Windows too, though it defaults to a Pro Controller sign, so you'd need to use Steam, or an Xinput wrapper to use it with most games. But in short, yes it works perfectly fine with Windows wireless, it just requires an extra hoop to jump through.
Does this work with PS3?
Nop.......only Switch/PC/Android
Why waste battery with joystick leds? I would understand if the buttons were lit.. 😅
Ah. Nvm. I commented too early in the video. I understand now. This is for nerds. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
