GameSir X5 Lite Mobile Gaming Controller for Android & iPhone 15/16 Series (USB-C), Hall Effect Joystick, Lightweight Ergonomic Grip- Play Genshin Impact & Zenless Zone Zero

This arrived maybe 15-20 minutes ago and connected to my Sony Xperia 5V without issue. I haven't bothered setting up any of the buttons and downloaded Sonic the Hedgehog (original) to play. This is perfect. It feels good in my hand and the size is portable and will easily fit in my bag when travelling. I never considered playing games like this and am old school with it. I prefer 8-bit and 16-bit games.. I really do need Streetfighter II and am struggling to find it. But Golden Axe, maybe Altered Beast and a couple others I'll find today. I am really impressed with this. The price is really good, the device itself feels nice in my hands, and you have made a 43 year old very happy. Thank you xx

Been using this for the last week on a Samsung 25 ultra and it works great with the power cord plugged in. Without the cord it is a pain. This is more down to the Samsung phone itself and how it handles OTG i.e powering external devices. I don't know if this is a problem for most Samsungs but I would expect so as it is the UI which is missing the Android Stock settings. The work around for me was to initially power up the GamesSir with a cable, put in the phone, establish the connection and confirm the controller works. Leave for a 5 minutes, then remove the phone, remove the power and reattach the phone. Seems to work most of the time now for me. I'm also unsure if it has some to do with (a) The amount of charge the phone has (b) phone settings like battery saver etc. My pixel 3xl on the other hand connections flawlessly. So, great device! It is your phone which you may need to play around with. I'd recommend getting a case as well. There's plenty on Amazon and the one I got was a Aenllosi Hard Carrying Case i think for £19. Plenty of room in there for the GamesSir, phone, powerbank, earbuds etc.

Arrived as described. It fits my phone, which has an awkward camera bump, with plenty of room to spare. Cheap construction that feels reasonably solid but not sure it will stand the test of time, and it will definitely not hold up to rough treatment. A phone is OK in this but it doesn't feel structurally solid enough 'fully extended' to fit a tablet safely. Feels good to hold. D-pad is mushy and doesn't feel good to use and the face buttons are too loud. The sticks feel just right but someone with larger hands will find them uncomfortable. USB-C connector feels like the point of failure because it can move. Works natively with Steam Link and some games such as Wuthering Waves, but other games like COD Mobile refuse to detect the controller and require an overlay through the GameSir app. You can also update the firmware on the app, the controller overlay has a lot of problems on older versions of the firmware. A lot of the negative reviews on the app and controller are due to these problems but they seem to be sorted out now. There is no rumble component or onboard battery, it runs off your phone's battery. It comes with a USB-C external port but this is power passthrough only and not data, meaning that for audio you must rely on either laggy bluetooth or speakers. Overall this is a cheap mobile controller offering the minimum features you would expect with nothing extra, for the budget-conscious. You can get better quality offerings at two or three times the price.

This product is great. Does just what is says it should. It have been brilliant working with my android phone.

Bought this a controller 5 weeks ago already having issues with it sinking to my phone. Its now all of a sudden stopped working all together due to the c type charger bit not even picking up connection with my phone since purchasing. Got it up and running twice to play fps games kept getting kicked out games and or dying over and over due too controller un sinking with phone every 2 seconds. Delivery driver also jumps out of the back of his can and dropped my controller package right infront of me picks it up shrugs it off and hands me it during delivery 🤷‍♂️🤣. Type c charger bit is meant to stick out of controller by a certain distance and give you certain movement and connection. But mines arrived jammed into the controller restricting movement and connection between phone and controller. Seems very cheap and flimsy made for the price you pay for purchase. But purchase now just seems a complete waste of time and money. As not even had the controller 5 weeks and already completely useless. Complete waste of purchase and money as used it twice since owning. Felt like it already came and arrived half broken with major connection issues as now doesn't even power on when connected to my phone. Plug in a charger device to controller and it flashes with blue lights saying its powered up but still doesn't connect with phone even when on charge. Avoid purchasing unless you want a non responsive controller after a month of buying 🤦‍♂️😂.

I own an S25 Ultra and iPhone 16 Pro Max, and like the odd bit of gaming when flying or travelling and thought I would get one of these to try rather than a Nintendo switch, (mainly because I like to travel as light as possible). I connected it to the iPhone and it worked once I had changed it to iOS mode (holding down menu and view for a few seconds until LED turned red), that was it, I then loaded up a few games and lost some hours. I am not a massive gamer, (61 and grew up with space invaders), but this is some bit of kit. I had looked at similar controllers in the Apple Store for 4-5x as much, but at this price, and this quality, and weight, I would seriously recommend you look at this. So many games especially if you have Apple Arcade subscription, I’m going to have to get a 1TB iPhone now :)

Je laisse rarement des commentaires sur Amazon, mais cette manette mérite une exception. Le rapport qualité-prix est excellent. Pas besoin de Bluetooth : elle se connecte directement en USB-C et fonctionne parfaitement avec tous les téléphones compatibles (Android ou iPhone avec port USB-C). La prise en main est agréable, la manette semble robuste et bien finie. Gros plus : le port USB-C femelle intégré permet de charger le téléphone pendant le jeu, ce qui améliore vraiment le confort d'utilisation. Mais ce qui m’a le plus surpris, c’est l’attention aux détails : plusieurs tailles de pads à insérer entre le téléphone et la mannette sont fournies pour protéger le téléphone, même avec des coques épaisses comme celles de Rhinoshield ou Mous. Bref, un produit parfaitement pensé pour le gaming sur mobile, à un prix vraiment intéressant.

Absolute garbage controller. Doesn't work with a lot of games. Very spotty even with the few mobile games that it does support. Just buy an Xbox controller instead of these garbage Chinese products. Don't get me wrong, China makes some amazing tech products. But this is not one of them.

Ho preso il GameSir X5 Lite e devo dire che mi ha sorpreso in positivo. Funziona davvero molto bene: il collegamento è immediato e senza problemi, viene riconosciuto al volo e non ho avuto disconnessioni o stranezze. I tasti hanno un ottimo feedback, la risposta è precisa e si sente subito che è pensato per giocare seriamente. Anche l’impugnatura è comoda: sta bene in mano, non stanca e dà una sensazione solida. Il design è piacevole e, a livello tattile, i materiali sono davvero gradevoli. Il punto forte, secondo me, è uno ed è sostanziale: la porta di connessione è flessibile e “mobile”, quindi collegare il telefono è facile e soprattutto non c’è quel rischio fastidioso di forzare tutto e rompere il connettore. È una scelta intelligente che fa la differenza nell’uso quotidiano. In generale, per il prezzo che ha, è un dispositivo super valido: fa esattamente quello per cui è stato progettato e lo fa molto bene. Sinceramente non vedo grandi motivi per spendere di più su modelli più costosi, perché questo qui copre tutto quello che serve.

Works really well for Android phones with USB-C ports and barely needs any set up. Grip is comfortable and feels solid enough even though it is rather light.

Buen mando, muy bueno para juegos Android.
