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

[@chromerims]

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

[@SRC267]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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?

[@goruyorsunuzz]

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

[@xxHANNONxx]

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

[@Amir-I-]

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

[@SWPLGAMING]

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

[@Harlock2day]

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

[@MrPboltas]

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

[@jeanm3506]

This is awesome. Loving the content

[@jeanm3506]

Great cooling

[@jasonbarfield5268]

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

[@mike_purple]

Awesome review, keep up the good work!

[@NoobtasticASB]

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

[@pivello]

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

[@andreas_aqua]

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

[@mattdavis9601]

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

[@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?

[@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

[@upsidediy3945]

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

[@henry1667]

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

[@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

[@runemastafro]

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.

[@Ch12iSx727]

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

[@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

[@AlucardaPapere]

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

[@MrAngeel59]

What app you used for the test!!

[@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

[@MueezAhmad]

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

[@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.

[@audaceus]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@samirm9097]

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

[@yabenohkmr1855]

How's the durability tho? I have 2 Gamesir gamepad and both broke down real fast.

[@ErikLachance]

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

[@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?

[@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?

[@Napsteraspx]

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

[@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.

[@stillmangal]

I like your bracelet. May the eye protect you.

[@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

[@kennymccormick8295]

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

[@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.

[@linkery]

finally it's symmetrical, my ocd has calm down

[@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.

[@madarasoun3018]

X3 is $80 and X2 pro is $60 in my region, which one would u recommend, bro?

[@juan9033yt]

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

[@TommyBeingaDik]

Great review. But does Egg ns emulator works with this controller?

[@JustinPennito]

Yes it does.

[@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 ?

[@manndaze]

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

[@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.

[@LogosGaming]

You know I live you and gamesir is one of my favourite controller but is nos.going to do anything to a normal phone,if it has some ventilation might help but a normal phone does not have holes so he can get the heat out

[@user-yi2wv8gz3d]

Please review the Gamesir X4 Aileron. Thank you!

[@juanpalma919]

Hello from Durham, NC! Would love to meet

[@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

[@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

[@deadtheories4170]

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

[@drgamefreak66]

Hope they make a Bluetooth version 🤞

[@masa-sansamazamanamono3214]

can it fit rog phone 6 or galaxy z fold 4 ?

[@alagappasgostan9982]

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

[@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?

[@papacitoloko1117]

Is there no condensation??

[@gamingwithcarly96]

Does it fit the Lenovo Legion Duel 2 phone?

[@icarus432hz9]

How did you get Marvel Vs Capcom on mobile? Did you buy it or is it an emulator?

[@juanfranumero1]

Can u teste with the new iphone 15 pro max?

[@yesyos1722]

Nice!

[@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

[@Rs-li2uk]

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

[@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.

[@enrique7934]

What?

[@juliusclifford1705]

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

[@AndrewDawnbringer]

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

[@manurz1]

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

[@wesley3537]

Does it work on DIMENSITY processors ?

[@ashwinbabaria2025]

Bro this controller can be connect in pc and laptop

[@randomsan1784]

does this work with the new ipad mini?

[@MystaryTV]

Does This Controller Work For The IPhone 15?

[@MrBluedude33]

i know this may be a silly question, but could this somehow be used with a tablet by any chance??

[@Arkinos]

I don’t think, it can’t expand that much

[@yukariyuki5580]

Can i also use it on pc ?

[@justinw7323]

Would this be convenient if I overclock my pixel 7 pro with root?

[@fajrianhan]

Is that work on ipad mini 6 ?

[@Afro-Bean]

Does this compatible with vivo y27?

[@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 ?

[@Deltax5]

Is the fan laud on the gamesir x3. If it's laud maybe i can save money and just get the x2 pro or something. I hear the gamesir app offers overlays. Does it need dumb methods like a computer to use it or root which i hate to do. I got the kushi 2 blindly. Why it doesn't work with cod mobile idk. Xbox series x controller works fine with it. works with other stuff. There is a trick getting it working. Hook xbox controller with bluetooth then the kushi 2 will work. Maybe there is a chip in there or something. Does gamesir x2 pro work with cod. has a Xbox symbol. thinking it would work. I bought red magic 7s pro gets to big to with a case to fit in the controller.

[@Deltax5]

I think i may get the x2. I already got the kushi 2 thou. I thought it was a good controller. Maybe they can make it better with update. Whatever sigh. I wanted overlay's and support for cod mobile.

[@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 :/

[@mussaratjaved360]

Does it work with pixle gun 3d sorry for the weird question i have been searching for months

[@csolisr]

Does the cooler require connecting an external charger or can it turn on with the energy from the device itself?

[@MikeshMis]

Can you review gamesir x4a?

[@raven3570]

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

[@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

[@jimmymac2292]

Wish the kept the usb c on the left, so my Z fold 4 would sit with the overlap on the top

[@tannermilligan4087]

same man

[@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

[@kayupagarpagar8935]

yet we still can’t watch the mod video. 😅

[@OledBurnInKing]

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.
