Thanks for the review! How does this compare with EasySmx T39 (NOT pro)? Also, does EasySmx T39 work natively on Linux?

[@GameTechTalk]

Thanks for the kind words! I declined the T39 for review when it was offered because I was too busy with backlog at the time but having exchanged with EasySMX in the past, they are a very solid brand as well so I wouldn't be surprised if it holds up nicely to the Nova Lite. Seeing as Windows is supported, it effectively means they use Xbox 360 spoofing which is pretty much the defacto for PC gaming drivers. Linux supports those drivers and so those Steam Inputs. In other words, it is impossible that EasySMX T39 wouldn't work on Linux and SteamOS, despite they not officially stating so. Cheers!

GameSir Nova or 8bitDo Ultimate 2C Bluetooth?

[@GameTechTalk]

The 2C should win in terms of latency but the compatibility is not as extensive. For example, the 2C does not work on the Switch whereas the Nova does and has HD rumble, as well as an XInput mode. Go for the priorities that you have, either way both are very good options!

[@GiorgioKakh]

Can I use them for Pc and for Nintendo switch? Which one is better? Confused 🙏

[@GameTechTalk]

You can use them both for both. Go with the one that has the features you want, analog triggers versus digital. Regular vs hd rumble, etc

[@khyeplays9431]

Does the Gamesir Nova natively support motion controls on pc?

[@GameTechTalk]

It does if you are on Switch mode. Any other mode it will not. As for Switch mode, while it will, you will also need to use a third-party app to convert that gyro motion into something else, right stick, left stick, mouse, etc. There's this software called Handheld Companion that could help you doing that fairly easily. Cheers!

[@khyeplays9431]

@@GameTechTalk Thanks! Would you say the nova or the nova lite has better battery life considering the rgb around the nova?

[@hayazhafiz]

Nova/Nova Lite or T4 Pro which one do you recommend? Both almost costs the same in my area. Pls suggest

[@GameTechTalk]

The consensus would be, if you want budget above all else mainly for PC? Go Nova Lite. If you want a Switch controller first, with HD rumble, go Nova. If you want to spend a bit more to get a bit more features for a PC centric controller, go T4 Pro. For all intents and purposes, the T4 Pro is a repackaged EasySMX Bayard 9124 but more stylish, all three a great products that you can't really go wrong with.

[@hayazhafiz]

Thanks for the advice. My requirement was for PC. Update: Tried the T4 Pro, I liked the build, lighting and features of the Pro (it even includes a phone holder, cool!). However as a casual gamer, I found the underside back buttons unergonomic and had to hold in a weird position to avoid accidentally pressing them. It was a minor annoyance but happening all the time. I returned the T4 Pro and got the Nova Lite. It doesn't have back buttons underneath so I can hold it quite comfortably, no accidental clicks. Also when I connect it with my PC, the Nova Lite gets recognised as Xbox controller which T4Pro didn't. The buttons felt slightly better on the Nova Lite and the connection seemed faster as well. And it comes with a case. I kinda miss the RGB lights but overall I'm very happy with Nova Lite :) P.S: Update the Nova Lite's firmware to v4200 for seamless connection with PC.

[@GameTechTalk]

@@hayazhafiz Glad you found your solution! Cheers

[@alangrixti3529]

Hey Klef! What is the experience when using it for Android gaming? I'm considering this with a phone holder as it's one of the rarer no clicky buttons. Coming from the Gamesir X2s, the clicky shoulders drive me crazy! Cheers man!

[@GameTechTalk]

They both work fine for Android, since Google added full controller support API, most to not say all of these third party controllers simply work and you're actually better off using the Xbox mode that the Nova Lite has, and the Switch mode that the Nova HD has. They also both have an Android HID mode if ever for even more compatibility.

Looking for gamepad for my switch. What would you rather choose gamesir nova vs mobapad chitu?

[@GameTechTalk]

I never used the ChiTu but based on what I heard, which is that it is a Mobapad M6-HD in controller form, I’d say the ChiTu.

[@ChocoAL14]

I'd say the Nova Lite is aimed to be the budget controller, it even has hall effect. There is a translucent neon color for the Nova, that even looks cooler. The Nova Lite got released by mistake since January for just $15. I bought one, but the store made a mistake and sent me the Cyclone Pro. I can't really complain, the cyclone pro is more expensive.

[@GameTechTalk]

I'm tempted to grab a neon blue. I also think it looks great; it has a unique flair and would stand out amongst a bunch of controllers. Nice catch on that mistake, and yeah, as I understand it, the Cyclone Pro is more feature-rich. Good for you, and thanks for engaging! :)

[@linkssz1699]

The rumble motors are like the ones in the duelsense controller.

[@GameTechTalk]

Yeah, there's low-frequency haptic motors, basically like subwoofer emitting low freq wave so they vibrate. Clever stuff really. The GBA Metroid Pinball cartridged used that tech, and as far as I know, the first implementation known in gaming. Phones haptics use that thing, same goes with joycons and Switch Pro Controller and Dualsense as you know.

[@mattdavis9601]

GameSir did a livestream earlier this evening to announce the Nova and Nova Lite to the world. As usual with their livestreams they did a giveaway and, for the first time, I won one! A dark blue Nova Lite, which is exactly the one I wanted. I figured I'd do some research because, well, why not? As I was going through the list of search results looking for a thumbnail that didn't look like lame clickbait, I recognized this reviewer's name because he was also watching and commentating the livestream. He seemed friendly and I figured since his video came up I'd see what he's about. I gotta say, I vibed with GTT's presentation style in this video, so he's got a new subscriber. He's enthusiastic, knowledgeable, covered everything I needed to know, and didn't waste my time. What more can one ask for out of a reviewer? As far as the controller; I'm now even more hyped after this video than I was before. I don't own a Switch. I don't care about the Switch. The Lite version is the superior version for me because of those analog triggers. I'll be using it primarily for Android based emulation, which will definitely take advantage of them, in situations where my X2 Pro isn't viable. Things like using it with my tablet or with my phone's DEX Mode (technically Screen+ because it's an LG - RIP) on the TV. I can't wait to have mine in my hands and it'll definitely be used and enjoyed.

Hey, im not gaming that much lately but I do want a controller with gyro that I can use to play some emulated games on PC. Would the nova be good for that? I see the nova works on pc with gyro via bluetooth to ns pro mode, but it was i need steam to play pc games, i don't want to use steam tho. Can i just use it directly with an emulator and would gyro work then? Or any alternative cheap budget controller. Love your stuff, my main to channel for controllers/mobile telescopic controllers

[@GameTechTalk]

Ahh thanks so much for the kind words! The Nova would be able to achieve what you wish however, it's starting to show it's age (which is absurd to say because it's not that old) but at the pace that this market is moving, it sort of is. Keep in mind that the Nova does not have a PS Mode so while gyro will work, you will most likely have to make sacrifices to get that support, whereas a controller that can spoof as PS mode would retain a higher fidelity of features on PC. I hope this helps!

COD:M is very finicky about which controllers that it accepts on Android, and specifically when talking about BT, only Playstation and Xbox controllers work, so I'm pretty sure the Nova Lite can spoof as an Xbox one, if not mistaken? On that mode, it should work fine.

I would think maybe one got through the net without calibration having been made? There is a combination of buttons that'll let you calibrate your sticks, it should be described in the manual. I would do that and would expect the issue to be fixed. If not, I'd recommend the official GameSir Discord and see if they can potentially assist? Maybe there would be need for a new firmware.

How do you compare them against t4 cyclone pro?

[@GameTechTalk]

So in a nutshell, think of the T4 Cyclone Pro as the actual "Pro" version of the Nova Lite. As addressed in the video, the Nova is just a different DNA altogether whereas the Nova Lite and the T4 Cyclone Pro feel more alike. With that said, the T4 Cyclone Pro is superior in just about every way and feels about on-par in quality. That should speak to just how much quality the Nova Lite feels like. It just is barebone in terms of "Pro" features. Last, I'd say that if the extra features of the T4 Cyclone Pro don't appeal to you (hall effect triggers, back paddles, trigger rumble, higher polling rate) then go with the Nova Lite. If the extra features are things you look forward to, go with the T4 Cyclone Pro. I hope this helps! :)

I mainly want a controller to play Rocket League, anyways is the Nova Lite better than a PS4 controller? Excuse me for my little knowledge, but your opinion will matter a lot (am a casual player by the way) And yes one more thing, which controller from the ones I mentioned with a better polling rate? Thank you in advance, your vids are very informative and amazing

[@GameTechTalk]

Well, depending on where you play, the Dualshock 4 is a very very good controller despite it being a little older. It was a step ahead with it's polling rate even then. It can also be overclocked to do 1000hz. With that said, overclocking is not a flawless solution and in that regard, the Nova Lite does have a better "flat" performance versus the Dualshock 4 from Sony. So assuming you are playing on PC, and assuming that you will play wired, the Nova Lite is a better solution for responsiveness. Keep in mind the Nova Lite does not work natively on PS4. It does not have six-axis gyro, no controller speaker, and no track pad either. In my humble and honest opinion, the Nova Lite will also be better because it has asymmetrical sticks, I don't know that there are studies on the subject, it's just my logic coming into play but hear me out. I like both styles but when it comes to doing heavy movement and camera work (like it is in Rocket League), I find asymmetrical helps the brain hemispheres not get locked into synchronous physical movements... if that makes sense. Sorry for the wall of text, I hope this helps! :)

I get what you are saying so think of it this way, out of all the inexpensive controllers that cost very little to manufacture (and usually are super cheap)? I have never seen one that is of such quality as these two ones. I've tried many and to me, a 20$ controller feels like a 20$ controller with the exception of EasySMX. I assure you, it's good stuff, cheers!

Hellz yeaahhhhhh!!

G7 better?No SE.

[@GameTechTalk]

I'd say so yes. Nova Lite still is awesome however. As for Nova, it's great but a bit "one trick pony" with it's heavy Switch-centric DNA. I love it though!

Bought a nova lite,waste of money-just saying

[@GameTechTalk]

Depends on what standard you uphold. If you usually play with a Dualsense Edge and buy a Nova Lite, I can understand why it would gather dust, as an example. But what is waste for you, could be treasure to somebody else, especially when the product is genuinely good. I think the Nova Lite is a phenomenal product for the price point that it sets, but I found better. Video coming out shortly!

@@GameTechTalk bought because of the Hall sticks but can’t calibrate it,left stick won’t stay where I aim keeps going to the left non stop?

[@GameTechTalk]

@@rorylennon3338 There is a calibration shortcut, it should be in the manual. Can't remember exactly but basically, you hold a couple buttons, it'll kick the controller in calibrating mode, you do the thing and you should be set from there.
