GameSir X3 Review - Impressive Active Cooling - The Best Android Game Controller?

Also what does game look like after mapping then controls I don’t want it to add more stuff on screen! Thanks

Can i map my touch screen only game fire strike on android with the software and or controller ? Fire strike by edkon I have s22 snapdragon

[@5starmar81]

Can you charge your phone while playing

[@CaptisLucemGaming]

If only Gamesir can have 3.5mm or have at least make the USBC able to connect other peripherals (ethernet hub for example) and its gonna be a complete mobile gaming rig, making it the best for streamers and or content creators

[@ChigzTech]

Yes headphone Jack and USB C pass through was needed.

[@IHAVEASCENDED]

If you have the z fold 3 you can connect a hub with hdmi, ethernet, and extra usbs.

[@ropeburn6684]

I agree. GameSir should really put out an "X3 Pro", combining all the previous versions' strengths and eliminate all weaknesses. The good joysticks of the X2 pro (both X2 and X3 have problems, "sticking" to the main directions with noticeable deadzones, which may be a no-go for many people). The analog L2/R2 triggers of the X2 Pro and the X3. The fan of the X3, BUT powered by the main USBC plug. And finally, the USBC plug having full connectivity for data and headphones, as opposed to just charging. And MAYBE an additional 3.5mm headphone jack. If they would combine all this in one, and sell it for 80 global moneys ($€£), they'd be very close to the perfect phone controller that could dominate the market.

[@adychelsea123]

@@ChigzTech what type of phone are you using.. please answer bro.. i want to buy it

[@AndoresuSama]

Are the sticks clickable? Like R3 and L3 on a ps controller

[@Siennasuee]

so with games that support gamepad controller itself we dont need to install gamesir's app, right ? tks man

[@ChigzTech]

That's correct! If the game supports a gamepad controller natively, you won't need to install any additional apps. Enjoy your gaming experience!

[@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

[@theearthinspace6964]

Are Mobile Wild Rift and Mobile Battlegrounds also available? Is the speed of the cooler controllable? What temperature does the cooler go down quickly? Please tell us more about the cooler.

[@MegaMovez]

Why can't I get my x3 to work with aether ps2 emulator

[@OneshotDeath662]

How do I check if my phone is a snapdragon and also the game set app doesn't appear on the play store?

[@nolliway]

You said to make sure the phone we are using is a Snapdragon phone. The Realme GT Neo 3 is a Dimensity phone, yes?

[@MrLino559]

Does it play well with Apex mobile I'm just curious?

[@ludvigtheowopaladin]

They don't support other game pads yet

[@ohbegitu5045]

my normal temp is 35°.. i play Genshin without gamesir x3 it reach about 48° and while using it the temp stay in 35°. can hold my normal temp during gaming i could say it worked well.

[@Oriegin]

It would've been complete if you had done the temperature check to have an idea of how it fairs on SD 8 Gen1

[@ChigzTech]

The cooling pad gets very cold to the touch. It’s like a fridge on the back of your phone. Keeps temps well under 35degrees whilst using.

[@Oriegin]

@Chigz Tech Reviews Alright. I will be buying this over the new gamevice solely for the fan. Thanks for the review.

[@chamoyisawsome8013]

[@xloko92xgaming8]

does this work on iphone 15?

[@danialchester]

how about big camera bump? did the back of the phone touching with the cooling pad?

[@ChigzTech]

S22 ultra was fine but the ZTE Axon 40 ultra did not sit flush with the cooling pad due to the big camera bump. So yes big camera bump will affect the cooling.

[@DGriffy0400]

What about pixel 6?

[@jackattack2060]

Are you playing against other touchscreen players in COD Mobile or with controller players in COD Mobile only? Reason I ask is because there are a lack of actual players in Battle Royal with controller so I want to make sure that it matches you up with touch screen players not controller players.

[@romanbeljak1609]

Please answer this

[@esaflaka9155]

you want to make sure it matches you up with touchscreen players, not controller players??? If he has a controller. It should match with controller players, too... or do you want an extra easy lobby.. you play with controller against ppl using touchscreen... Thats sad...

[@jackattack2060]

Well I am disabled and can't use touch screen very well, I have a controller that is easier for me to use and there are really only bots that play Battle Royal

[@abdulhameedfahm5397]

It marches you with touchscreen players

[@Papinegri2442]

The joystick is better Playstation o Xbox controller ?

[@gokongx]

does it work on s21 ultra? the camera bump is kinda huge🤔

Can you use a c to c and charge the system with the c port?

[@cynicalcomedian4428]

Yes it has pass through charge

[@raiiiyann]

no mediatek soc support? dang, i was convinced already, until you mentioned it's only snapdragon :/ any good alternatives?

[@SirCharlesLikesChurros]

Does it charge the phone when you connect the USB-C for the fan?

[@clijsters3187]

I think I saw a picture where the charging for the phone is in the bottom of the handle. So you have to plug 2 separate cable. One for the controller/phone and one for the fan.

[@alindhd6021]

Why would you want that tho. This device is intended for long gaming session and long gaming session means heating.

I wish it had an inner battery for the fan and a 3.5mm headphone jack. How's the D-pad compared to the older versions?

[@GinsuSher]

Hey chigs. Is there otg support out of the usb c port ? I want to use wired headphones but the original gamesir x2 usb c didn't have otg support out of the port.

[@SeeDaRipper...]

Would it kill them to stick a headphone jack in the controller itself (negating the need for any dongles)🤷‍♂

[@ChigzTech]

No sorry, not supported.

[@ingkwameasamoa879]

Hey , sup ??? How is the latency ???

[@ChigzTech]

No noticeable latency.

[@Drawzor]

[@BeatVids]

Is that a yes or a no?

[@ChigzTech]

Yes it does support Passthrough charging.

[@encikmeor]

Hi chigz. Nice video as usual. Can this controller use with 7/8 inch tablet?

[@ChigzTech]

Yes android tablets will work.

[@Sis32253]

Tablets will work as he said, but they didn't acknowledge its maximum size is 7.09 inches. That being said I think a 7 Inch tablet would wear it out since its maximum scope.... an 8 inch obviously wont fit. I think your best bet is a bluetooth controller that you dont click in buddy. I hope you didnt drop 100 bucks on this hoping it fits your tablet. The maker of the video is clearly a paid reviewer.

No, the port on the Bluetooth ver only carry power.

for me gamssir x3 has big input lag in games like dead cells and wild rift. basically you cannot spam skills.

[@kirazukigamedesu7973]

There's other game you can play like Genshin Impact. But, it's risky to used this controller as the Dev has warned the user if they used a 3rd party app to play this game their account might be banned permanently since Genshin Impact doesn't have a controller support for mobile platforms

[@Jpizzo1995]

Honestly the fan should have been made to power without the cord

[@TheDanLCS]

Can it fit a ROG phone 6? And what if the charge port is not centered in the phone?

[@dhhdbdbd7392]

no. For Asus rog, the Tupe-C connector is located in the lower area. For Asus Rog phones, there is a proprietary Rog Kunai 3 gamepad, and it costs very expensive, about two hundred dollars. I have an Asus rog 6, branded aero cooler 6, kunai 3 for phone 6, iPhone 13 pro max, iPhone 14 and Nubia red magic 7s pro. in no case do I recommend buying an Asus rog 6, because it is very fragile and it is easy to bend over the floors in your pocket. This is its only drawback. I advise you to buy red magic 7s Pro and continue when the 8gen2 processor comes out

This thingbis the price of a switch tho.....but back to basics. Only the BT X2 supports the fake xbox controller function isn't it? Witch make it the only 100% supported controller next to the ps4 and Xbox one offical console controller

[@panda_dva2261]

The bluetooth one is great. I use it on my iphone 13 pro max. I notice zero latency since it uses bluetooth 5.0. Also i think ( gonna try soon) if you plug in to the usb c port of the controller to the phone you can play as if its connected. I say just get a small 90 degree angle connector (usb c to usb c for android or usb c to lightning for iphone) and it will just fit just fine on the game pad

[@Sis32253]

What do you mean it's the price of a switch lol. The controller is 100$

Hi Chigz, don't know if i missed it, but did you put a price on the vid?? P.s and what do you think is better, Bluetooth or wired connection? (for the faffing involved) EDIT : WOW $99!! (£79.48) i wouldn't mind but it doesn't even have a rechargeable battery! (it's got plenty of space to house one)...hard pass i'm afraid at that price (more than a PS5 controller lol.) I'll wait for Sony to pull their bloody finger out and produce an official Playstation controller in the same vein, but hopefully with rumble/haptics.

[@ChigzTech]

Yes they could have added a built in battery that would have been cool. Price is high but similar to competing models from Razer and Backbone. I feel this control is as good and maybe even better than the competition.

[@SeeDaRipper...]

@@ChigzTech Fair shout ,but blimey, they are all pricey considering they are standard plastic controllers with no battery or rumble features...I really do hope Sony create an official PS branded one, especially as they are supposedly branching out into mobile games (and they already have an established remote play feature) missed opportunity for them here🤦‍♂
