This New USB C Controller Thermoelectric Cooler Built In! GameSir X3 Hands On

[@dualbeardedtech]

I actually modded my gamesir X2 with a Peltier and heatsink. The only difference is I wired an 18650 battery to run it so it would be totally cordless after charging. It works quite well 😊

[@phelhadsu4080]

do you have a photo of your work? I would like to mod mine too

[@dualbeardedtech]

@@phelhadsu4080 I don't, but I'll try to get one. Mind you, it's not as sleek looking as the X3, but it works

[@mirasam3370]

Is it heavy?

[@dualbeardedtech]

@@mirasam3370 nope, not at all.

[@Gsa2134]

DM me if possible if you end up taking pictures of it, really interested in modding my X2 Pro Xbox

[@IRWPD]

That's impressive how fast the cooler works.

[@I_SuperHiro_I]

This is a gimmick. There’s no TIM between the cooler and phone and the tiny heatsink will saturate within minutes. You’re just wasting power.

[@dominicstocker5144]

What would work as an external cooler?

[@SRC267]

Much better than that "gaming gear" Sony released for the Xperia smartphone.

[@x7slim8x]

I actually used a Peltier cooler on a Pi 3b back in the day. It worked ok I guess, but I remember going back to air after awhile. Could've been the cheap Peltier cooler plate I purchased from overseas though. The small ones just didn't have the performance of the larger plates.

[@goruyorsunuzz]

That is what Sony should do as a new PlayStation/XperiaPlay Phone accessory.

[@davidagiel8130]

Man i had this idea a couple of years ago when i got my rog 2, even a normal phone case with a cooler would be good as well

[@Juuggy]

Having a cooler is not only beneficial to the performance, but also the battery life. When phone batteries get hot, they die quicker. And the more they die, the worse the battery gets over the years. Having a cooler will keep your battery fresh for years to come. That's well worth it imo, even if other phone controllers are technically better

[@OfficerPapi]

If you’re the type that’s buying a gaming controller for your phone, then you’re probably upgrading your phone within 2-3 years anyway.

[@dominicstocker5144]

Idk, phones are expensive

[@chromerims]

Getting one of these exclusively to binge watch awesome🔥 videos from Eta!

[@xxHANNONxx]

I want to see, an ETA Prime video, comparing various telescopic controllers, used with tablets.

[@gregyance9901]

It is a good idea , but the fact you need to connect it , loose the whole purpose , if they can achieve to be wireless in the next iteration would be a success

[@lllllll5990]

Yea but you'll most likely using the power from ur device

[@PayneWewton]

loose

[@verschaesl]

I guess it's the other way around the connection is to be able to load your phone while it's clamped into the gamepad

[@Harlock2day]

I just ordered the x2 pro for XCloud, it looks amazing.

[@SWPLGAMING]

These controllers are awesome,i got the x2 pro, but this included cooling system is 👌🏾

[@andreas_aqua]

It was all sunshine and rainbows until I heard of the D-pad and the triggers, damn

[@jeanm3506]

This is awesome. Loving the content

[@jeanm3506]

Great cooling

[@upsidediy3945]

Need to make a camera hole.....3:45....add a cooling shroud. never knew about the cooler typeI Really like this idea .

[@manurz1]

I learn about peltier from the best youtuber...... Yes I'm talking about ElectroBOOM

[@Alfadrottning86]

my friend bought this one for me (or so he said .. he presented it to me .. and then kept using it himself) - but i find it a bit heavy to be honest. The peltier pad is useless because it needs a separate powersource .. the controls are good, but not as good as my older Betop G3. the main reason for the X3 on the Gamesir would be that they managed to put the usb-c connector to the correct side.

[@pixelman2626]

Bought it for $74 and it's awesome. My phone no longer heats up playing Genshin for hours. The mapping is the best compared to other 3rd party and I prefer microswitch for R2 and L2 button (because I only play RPG games and not FPS or racing). But my unit is not a prefect one, the analog stick on the right is drifting sometime. Not always but it has its moment. I want to tear it down so I can blow some air on the analog part but there is still no teardown video for X3 so I'm not gonna take a risk to open up this controller

[@90widi]

Is using gamesir mapping will make you banned from genshin?

[@TheAmberdane]

Same here. I bought this controller coz I love playing genshin impact using rog 5s. It doesn’t heat up anymore compared as before. I’m so happy for my purchase.

[@Amir-I-]

Hope to see soon the test of the X2 Pro ! 👍💪🏆

[@AlucardaPapere]

Are they still trying to push peltiers? Every time they tray to sell something using it it usually fails

[@audaceus]

We'll finally need this with the yuzu emulator for the S23 heating issues.

[@NoobtasticASB]

What app did you use to measure and benchmark the thermals?

[@linkery]

finally it's symmetrical, my ocd has calm down

[@Arkinos]

I use it with my Z Fold 3, it's awesome, i finally can play some game without burning my self

[@Ch12iSx727]

Does this charge your phone if you have the controller plugged in?

[@MrPboltas]

Yes, i have one already, was wondering when you where going to review it

[@markhaus]

Thermoelectrics seem so overkill when the limiting factor isn’t heat transfer from the cold end to the hot end but thermal transfer from the hot end to ambient air

[@rickstechrepairs]

I have had a bad experience with the GameSir X2, were the type c connection started for fail with less than 20 phone inserts, was extremely disappointed I did get the bluetooth model and it has been fine

[@emilypeters8888]

Peltier at this size seems like a gimmick vs heatpipe cooler with fan and non adhesive thermal pad maybe one of the carbon ones.

[@dominicstocker5144]

Are there any coolers like this for smartphones?

[@stillmangal]

I like your bracelet. May the eye protect you.

[@alberte6109]

Why is finding compatibility for the Gamesir X lineup so hard, I did find that the X2 Pro is limited to the phone's SOC, but I haven't found the one for the X2 and X3.

[@manndaze]

should be noted that the 55c temp was on a flat surface, where as the cooler was elevated.

[@juanfranumero1]

Can u teste with the new iphone 15 pro max?

[@Rs-li2uk]

Then it's decided, I'll buy GS x2 pro, I love me some analogue trigger, racing game really need one afterall

[@Blackduck1462]

I want to get this but I don’t know if I can use a type c to lighting adapter on my iPhone can I ?

[@Cozyasual]

Where did you plug it for the cooler work?

[@MrAngeel59]

What app you used for the test!!

[@alexmcd378]

I'm curious what the phone alone would have heated up to if it had been propped on boxes so it had the air flow the game sir had. I could see that alone doing almost as much as the game sir

[@arcadeperfectreviews2653]

Does it work on HUGE phones? My razor Kishi that I was using on my old phone doesn't fit my Galaxy s22 Ultra.

[@FireChicken747]

If I have an older gen I phone can I switch the type c connector to a lightning port?

[@justicator]

I was waiting to see if they would make a bluetooth version of this, but no luck this many months later.

[@mattdavis9601]

Question: if your phone supports reverse charging, could you plug in the fan to the controller's pass-thru charging port?

[@TheSilencer1776]

Does anyone know if there's any companies out there where the peltier cooler is powered by the USB-C passthrough connected to the Android device?

[@mike_purple]

Awesome review, keep up the good work!

[@TechmagnimeHD]

They should have added a 3.5 mm headphone jack since it covers the port on the phone.

[@tacotoad3959]

This ^ I don't know why none of these controllers include any sort of USB hub... A lot of them have USB-C pass through charging, but not a USB hub to allow you to use dongles or anything... Having a built in headphone jack would be nice and a proper USB-C hub would be even better.

[@tacotoad3959]

@@bulletpunch9317 Thanks. I've never heard any reviews talk about any of these.

[@pixelman2626]

Same. If they put the jack on X4, it would be perfect

[@dominicstocker5144]

I’ve seen a controller with a passthrough headphone jack actually

[@dominicstocker5144]

@tacotoad3959

[@jardelortiz6762]

I wanted suggestions for alternatives to the gamesir x3, for example without cables and with an integrated cooler and its own battery, any suggestions?

[@raven3570]

just bought this few days ago, turns out only works on latest Snapdragon prosessor 😢

[@srvuk]

A definite no no for me. No analogue triggers is instant dismissal. Their latest model brings us closer to where things should already be. This one will likely be heavily discounted soon because of lack of interest.

[@Shadow43v3r13]

quite an interesting controller. question is, how well does the OTG function work? example "controller fallowed by flash storage then power?"

[@cocolandiasanchez1636]

Amigo tengo una pregunta porque cuando conecto el cargador d emi telefono al gamesir x3 se apaga al rato y deja de funcionar jugando ademas cuando conecto el telefono nolo reconoce el gamesir x3 tengo que conectarlo mediante otg hay algo que no se hacer ?

[@MugenZeroX]

I like this idea, having to choose either a cooler or controller, I usually end up going with cooler lol but ultimately just gonna get the rog 6 with kunai controller

[@retrobros9684]

I swear, this is true. I offered this exact same design and idea to gamesir. Of course I didn't get a Thanks but what you are seeing is my design The cooler, the layout exactly Lmao, I'm not kidding and can even prove it Anyway, I wanted a grip that could keep the handheld a lil cooler. I had the idea from the zero fan that connected to smartphones to keep em cool Anyway, I'm glad they made it at least

[@pixelman2626]

I think everyone has been suggesting them to put a cooler in it, including their own staff before they releasing the X2 version. It's just common sense since phone heats up during gaming especially the high graphic intensity game like Genshin

[@fadhilh3931]

Cap

[@Hattori_Fujiyama]

its a cool idea but the fact that it takes a separate power cable pretty much kills it. i guess it would kill the phone battery too fast? I still think it would be better to power it from the phone.. if it cant do that then it just seems useless to me..

[@KyrieEleisonMaranatha]

Why? What's wrong with carrying an extra power bank for it?

[@Burn_In_Oled_On_Purpose]

I like that the controller has a built-in cooler but it needs a headphone jack since the backbone controller has a charging port and a headphone jack. All my android phones have a headphone jack but the controller needs to have a headphone jack since they all have a charging port plus having a headphone jack has 0 latency when playing games.

[@samirm9097]

I have Soe N1. Does gs x3 charge your phone while plugged in for the cooler? Whats the required wattage?

[@MrAcethebum]

Did it say if the joysticks are potentiometer or hall effect joysticks, and how big the dead zone was? also dont really understand cooling the phone using the back... 90% of the cooling of a phone is sent threw the screen (the phones are designed so they wont overheat inside a case)

[@phelhadsu4080]

Rog phone 6 has its own controller I suggest you should go for it. Rog kunai 6 or 5 If I'm no mistaken

[@joemanco69]

Gamesir x3 is really good, but it lacks the accuracy of the left thumbsticks. Is there a way to make the accuracy of the thumbsticks at least equivalent to a PS4 controller? Thanks

[@AndrewDawnbringer]

I'm late for the party, but how does it fit an S23 (not plus, not ultra) ?

[@Cidiegoo]

Thanks for that Dpad attention! :)

[@drgamefreak66]

Hope they make a Bluetooth version 🤞

[@henry1667]

What about the phone casing, does the temp still cools the phone down or its better to take the case off ?

[@pivello]

Hi Eta can you make a top 10 of the best itx case u have reviewed?

[@gamingwithcarly96]

Does it fit the Lenovo Legion Duel 2 phone?

[@abutia]

In min 2:32 a female voice says something like: everything is negotiation over time. What is that? Drove me crazy because, at first I did not realize it was from the video.

[@MueezAhmad]

mr prime! any plans to make that raspberry pad 5 cyberdeck still?

[@AndrewSpec]

Is it working with devices that run MIUI 13? The X2 just don't work on my Mi 11 after the MIUI 13 update.

[@Qce-i6d]

What phones would you recommend with this device? Like not a budget phone with a weak chipset, but not a 1000 dollar phone either?

[@Goguetaxl]

How come you never show what app you use to map the buttons? Did you use the gamesir or something else because I find the gamesir one to be a bit intrusive.

[@Red_Nokia_edits]

Is there no condensation??

[@deadtheories4170]

Too bad most phones have the parts that heat up next to the camera and this can only be on the battery

[@wesley3537]

Does it work on DIMENSITY processors ?

[@ErikLachance]

Can you show your 21:9 display and steamdeck if it work and some game ;)

[@AmeylnToquero]

Please review the Gamesir X4 Aileron. Thank you!

[@juliusclifford1705]

Does it fit ipad mini and does it work with ipad mini

[@JustinPennito]

I've had the Gamesir X3 since release & today, I just got the Xbox Edition X2 Pro, but haven't gotten the chance to play with it yet. Which one do you like more, out of the Gamesir X2 Pro & Gamesir X3?

[@tommy6742]

How is this controller new? This controller has been out since June, the newest controller Gamesir released is Gamesir X2 Pro. Micro tactile switches for triggers are far superior than analog triggers especially for fps games and even retro emulation where analog triggers do not matter.

[@alagappasgostan9982]

Will it run on exynos 9825? I afraid buying if can use

[@juan9033yt]

I was think of installing on of these on my switch lite with and extra housing and a MagSafe for iPhone

Can you drop the link to the drunk bot workshop? Or whatever it's called? I can't find it in the description. Also, I love your videos! You are about as through as it gets.

[@randomsan1784]

does this work with the new ipad mini?

[@Nobe_Oddy]

My GameSir X2 just broke :( The USB-C port doesn't work anymore for some weird reason... I haven't even used it... it just stopped working.... it doesn't even pass through power... I guess I'm gonna have to take it apart and fix it :/

[@siddharthnabi3441]

The review is not complete.......can we charge our mobile simultaneously??? Or not ?? Does it require one wire itself or is there any other port for charging

[@Arkinos]

Yes you can, under the controller you have a usb c

[@zachariahm.kemper7406]

Can't do no analog, I'd like one that has some adjustment to still use the camera so I can have a big psp to play invisimals

[@John315]

Ok, you mention these "micro switches", but you don't describe what they are, and why they are bad. Also, how did you realize it has these micro switches? Are they easy to detect just by pressing the buttons? I am looking for an android controller like this and this one looks great but you mentioned a drawback, which i've never heard of before. So if i'm not sure what it is exactly and if it will necessarily be a problem or not, i can't decide whether to buy this or not yet. Can you give me some insight?

[@Gsa2134]

I initially got mad cause I bought an X2 Pro Xbox on release day, and got it just in the end of last week. But seeing as the d-pad and triggers are inferior, I calmed down lmao. I wish there was a way to cool with the X2 Pro, since I have an Exynos S20, and it gets really hot really fast
