GameSir X2 Pro First Look, Turn Your Phone Into A Powerful Gaming Hand-Held!

[@KingKevin108]

I don't ever use any of these handheld devices for phones the emulation devices or anything, I just enjoy how ETA Prime talks about them

[@reynaldo7371]

pre-ordered this as my first telescopic controller. Great review as always!

[@junethefox5834]

Man, if I wasn't already getting a Kishi V2 from a friend soon, I'd totally get this.

[@pifre3051]

You getting it for free though?

[@junethefox5834]

Kinda, I guess

[@Relaxingmusic-tw4qn]

@Ghosttiee x2 pro has worse analog issue,mine lasted 6 months

[@Relaxingmusic-tw4qn]

but whatever they are amazing though I stream most of my pc games through it

[@Pureblood.19]

@@Relaxingmusic-tw4qn I'm probably gonna give up until a decent company makes one and get the 8bitdo pro 2 and the phone clip tbh

[@KomodozGaming]

I already have the gamesir x2 v2 type c version and it's still serves me good 👍😊

[@shadowpandapc]

Im still enjoying my regualar gamesir X2, great device, had it a few years now and its always been great

[@Shoeboxcat7]

Personally, I'm holding off for the Backbone Android edition in November, but what I do like here on the X2 Pro are the reconfigurable buttons. I myself prefer the Nintendo layout, but it would be nice to swap between at will.

[@WarisAmirMohammad]

did not know that is going to be a thing, thanks for the reminder

[@SwissFenyx]

Same here

[@Shoeboxcat7]

@GH0STST4RSCR34M I mean, I'll wait for reviews. I'm not pre-ordering it, but I do like that it offers 3.5mm headphone jack and data pass-through. Winning features for me.

[@PeteC75]

Doesn't the Backbone require a subscription now?

[@MartyMcFryyy]

@@PeteC75 no, its only if you want to take advtage of their app, sucks they charge for that feature as the others dont.

[@nav3486]

Man I really like all your reviews. Very descriptive and concise

[@WheeledHamster]

The way bro pinky flicked that USB-C port.

[@Eric20482]

They pretty much fixed all the issues I had with the gamesir controllers with this version.

[@A_d_e_k]

My Kishi V1 is still more than enough for moonlight sessions, but this one I have to say is really cool.

[@igromad]

I'm watching this video because my Kishi inexplicably got analog drift with a few months of use.

[@KisucialLion_23]

I actually just bought a gamesir pro for my nephew he has a iPhone 14 plus and a Motorola hopefully it works for his Motorola it cost 70.00 and since I know he's a gamer I wanted him to have a bomb gift.

Thank you for making these videos. I always look forward to your reviews! I purchased this immediately after watching the whole video. I appreciate it ETA PRIME!

[@PuertoR0ck]

I got the gamesir x2 bluetooth version. Works perfectly.

[@qjo]

"... so just be aware that, if you've got a smaller device, you might not fill that controller completely up." A valuable life lesson.

[@richardmorales4645]

What device?

[@qjo]

@@richardmorales4645 I was just quoting the video.

[@CatWachristmashat]

They just took the Gamesir x2, and completely removed almost all of the flaws and added: Analog triggers Xbox compatible Back buttons Usb C moved to the right. Changeable buttons.

[@RandomizationShow]

@Milk Xbox thing aside I had the x2 too and yeah, you're entirely correct this things amazing

[@CatWachristmashat]

@Milk sorry typed it out wrong

[@AnarickTheDevil]

Usb c on the right is a flaw for me as my volume buttons would be facing down. Having no Xbox branding was a plus not a flaw.

[@bipbop3121]

Only missing PD 30W charge and data pass thru & Hal sticks & well I don't know how these will ever take advantage of my top headphone jack. & GB it'd be a must buy

[@hidarimak]

Today I learned about the Mantis Pro app. Thanks.

[@honeydiva9171]

I have the 1st version of this with the Switch settings & 2 Razr for Xbox with the Xbox emblem. I was about to buy the Razr upgrade & than I saw this one comes with 1 month Xbox subscription & new official Xbox controller. I noticed the new Razr no longer has the Xbox emblem, now on the new Gamesir. I was sold after that. I liked the Razr for my mobile gaming needs, but I hated how my phone would pop out of place during game play. This was another reason I went with this one. I like the wide hard back on Gamesir as opposed to the Razr with the elastic straps. The new one is made better & doesn't have the straps, but I liked this one better. Can't wait for my delivery so I can try it out!

[@NecolasHamwi]

1,000,000 !!! Congratulations 🎉

[@corsinivideos]

Can that USB-C port be used for audio?

[@bappibhai1]

I have gamesir X2 The only thing I didn't like is the app and the fact that my phone is Android 11 (compatibility is horrible) Otherwise the device is good Also I have the tallest smartphone in the market, and it fits almost perfectly I use it for playing pc games on android via Parsec

[@-libertyprimev1-902]

Compatibility with the App or X2 was horrible with A11?

[@AnarickTheDevil]

The usb c plug stopped working on mine after a couple uses so I'm not going any ware near there products again until I start seeing some long term reviews. Plus 80+ is a ridiculous price for a controller.

[@-libertyprimev1-902]

@@AnarickTheDevil you's probably get a refund if that happened that early...

[@AnarickTheDevil]

@@-libertyprimev1-902 Nope. I barley used it so it ended up breaking after the return period.

[@niluss6]

If you are referring to the mapping app not working, you have to run another adb shell command to make it work: settings put global block_untrusted_touches 0 And this should make it work for any mapping app like the gamesir app, mantis or panda..

[@HitmonleeDeluxe]

I am guessing that like the other controllers, audio passthrough doesn't work through the USB-C connector on the controller?

[@-BarathKumarS]

Yes

[@duke45jp]

FINALLY. THE PERFECT MOBILE USB CONTROLLER. I have the Bluetooth version for my Galaxy S8+. This is 10x better because of USB C.

[@TheNeku123]

What about usb c to 3.5mm jack? Does it work through the controller?

[@emaculatej650]

Great tests.... one minor suggestion: when i see you test out fighting games can you showcase how well the dpads work with DP motions? That's always the true test. Besides that great vids as always

[@shadow212121kb]

I've been playing Castlevania Symphony of the Night on my phone using this controller. The D Pad is really sensitive, When i press Up Alucard keeps walking to the left, makes it hard to throw items. Not sure if mine is defective or not.

[@typingcat1814]

Can you plug in USB c headphones into the passthrough USB c port?

[@justinw7323]

I have this controller I just pray it doesn't break. I like it.

[@robertbutterworth5969]

ive gone thru the gamesir x2 the kish and kishi v2 and have returned them all. the x2 ppro is otw. my main thing is the analogs and usb port. the kishis were way to hard on my phone and lacked the support. i felt like i needed to becareful when playing it. like it was made of glass. well the phone is but u get my point. gamesir ftw.

[@LachM2011]

I hope a bluetooth one is available at some point. My big problem with these controllers is having to take my phone's case off, which I really don't want to do for obvious reasons.

[@richardmorales4645]

Buy a spigen air skin

[@AnhTuPhucDerrickHoangCanada]

I like mine, it's like a handheld console.

My Razor Kishi has packed it unfortunately the toggle buttons have stopped and now the D Pad after having for nearly 2 years. I got a cracking deal on this so ordered it and cannot wait to try it out! Thanks for the detailed review 👍🏼

swappable buttons, that is pretty mind blowing in simplicity and usefulness.

[@nicholasbowler4574]

Hey ETA, you should do a Linux gaming front-end review or walk through, it would be a great series if you did a launchbox style series. I've been having a real hard time trying to find anything ,and what I do find, getting it to work properly.

[@abdulhamza172]

This is exactly the controller I've been looking for. Except the usc C is on the right side which is a deal breaker since I have a galaxy fold

[@AnarickTheDevil]

My volume buttons are on the left side of my phone so I would be hitting them all the time in this controller.

[@JuanD817]

I don't know if this still works but some Xbox/PlayStation controller only games are able to be played with a USB-C controller if you also pair one of those controllers. I played COD Mobile a year ago on my Moto Z2 Force with the gamepad mod, the only thing i had to do was have a paired Xbox controller on the side.

[@thebigskip-e]

Any chance you can test how these are with cases on?

[@chicken636]

Looks like this model will still have the same issues I have with the 2021 version that I have. Dedicated screenshot button is too close to dpad and is constantly accidentally pushed. Certain games will get paused for the screenshot ruining gameplay. Needs lower palm grips for those of us with bigger hands. It becomes very uncomfortable after long play time.

[@crocs_shark5553]

Hey ETA, love ur videos keep it up man

[@harrmick6218]

I wonder if this works with the z fold without modification? 🤔

[@dakotatalteco]

I hate that you can't use it with a case, I have a really thin case and the usbc can't even push all the way into the port 😢

[@greatMomiz]

this controller looks valid, but I already got the saitake 7007f on the way

[@cocolandiasanchez1636]

Y porque no me detecta el gamesir x3 al enchufarlo directamente solo mediante otg como se hace amigo?

Will this fit the rog 6 pro? Since the usb port is not in the middle and is offset to the left.

[@tdandre1]

Can the Lenovo legion y700 tablet fit in this? Having trouble to find a gamepad that works with it

[@mattdavis9601]

If the Legion's USB port is on a short side (where most phones and everything has it) then not without modification. ETA said in the video that it'll only support devices up to 179mm in length. I'm not sure how long the Legion is physically but I know the screen is 8.8 inches diagonal. The 8 inch 16x10 tablet I'm watching this video on has a screen, ignoring the bezels, that's 172-173mm long according to my ruler. By the time you account for the extra 8/10ths of an inch and the, admittedly thin, bezels of the Legion you'll probably be looking at 200+mm in length.

[@catchthisfire]

i use my bluetooth version daily im gonna pick up this new version soon

What about phones with usb micro? impossible to connect?

[@sirmiluch6856]

I have a problem with this pad. In the gamesir app everything works, but anywhere else the A B X Y buttons are unresponsive (including gamepad tester type apps). They work as I press them slowly, but it only takes 3 or more quick presses and it locks up input for a second.

[@Ezio470]

Why are these controllers made for phones more expensive than dedicated controllers? i'd even say that non-telescopic controllers have more features as well.
