The GameSir X4 Aileron is GameSir's latest controller, officially licensed for Xbox. It's compatible with Android from 68 to 95 mm which is the extension of the grips. That it might not be the best fit for tablet gamers. Overall, it has Bluetooth connectivity, precise Hall Effect sticks, esports-inspired buttons, and customizable triggers and buttons through the GameSir app.
But what I really love is its compact design. The gamepad comes with a bag and different sticks, plus an additional D-pad. It's small yet surprisingly comfortable to hold. Another impressive feature is its independent connection. You can also connect only one side of the gamepad, like a V-touch feature, which helps with games that require button mapping, such as PUBG or MOBAs. You can use both parts or just the left side. I use this mode in Citra for the touch screen on the right. From what I've experienced, the Bluetooth connection is almost immediate. However, I've noticed occasional button pulsing issues, and I have concerns about the reliability of the grip connection. Perhaps they've addressed these issues with an update.
I tried Pokémon Let's Go on Yuzu to use the magnetic cooler on the backside. I love this configuration, especially since the weather here in Spain is so hot right now. This setup allows me to play demanding emulators without worrying about overheating. I also tried Zelda: Ocarina of Time on Citra MMJ to experiment with using the right side as a touch screen. The same with Super Mario Galaxy on Dolphin with one controller for movement and another one solely for shooting Starbits using the touch screen and Okami for paint
The price is a bit high, but it feels like a really premium controller. As I've mentioned in all my gamepad reviews, there are more affordable options out there, but if you can afford it, it's a good choice. If you're interested, I have some 10% discount codes for Amazon (GameSirX4a), AliExpress (GSX4A0807), or the official website (GSX4A10OFF). Feel free to ask me any questions!
