The Cheapest Anti Stick Drift Controllers are MID! GameSir Nova Nova Lite Honest Review

I just got one for 18,40€ and its coming in a few days, I'm very excited since my DS4 is at the edge of dying. Very excited to finally try a Xbox layout controller and it looks amazing

[@garouthemonster9718]

@@sartenazo8106 How is it?? My DS4 is on the verge of dying and i'm considering buying one of these

[@jacenchrisbaker]

I am still dumbfounded. All Gamesir has to do is make the G7SE with four back buttons that are ergonomically comfortable. They don't need to go wireless, they don't need RGB, and they don't even need locking triggers. They just keep shitting out slightly different versions of the same thing to get your grandma confused on Amazon at Christmas time.

[@vCuda]

Good point. I never considered it could be to screw with consumers, they could be trying to drown out other controllers too

[@jacenchrisbaker]

@@vCuda When they dropped their newest Xbox roller, I thought "but why?" and that has stuck in my head, when all they really need to do is make 3-4 different products and improve THOSE products, versus making 17 versions of the same thing, each missing a feature that another has.

[@flamestoyershadowkill]

And add gyro

[@Oliver-wx8sf]

True but remember is all about marketing the average gamer when they see a wired controller with no RGB and no trigger stop would not buy even if it is better since. most don't research for controllers.

[@CokeOnDaRock]

Some people don’t prefer four back buttons like 2 is more than enough

[@MrTheqwery]

I bought the nova (not light) version on AliExpress for about 20 dollars (VAT and shipping included) as a cheap pro controller replacement. I don't notice any lag on Switch and the HD rumble works fine during Mario Wonder (the controller plays music in my hand). Because of the rear triggers, it is also good for FPS. I'm really happy with it.

[@bachriiskandar4973]

[@JimIBobIJones]

You can pick the lites up for $20 if you shop around. What more do you want? Its exactly what it needs to be a for a budget hall effect wireless controller. Plus you get a nice travel case.

[@ronaldmcdonald6067]

Dont know why people hate on this by saying "they should have made a more expensive controller". If that is what you think, then this controller wasn't made for you. This controller targets the budget demographic that want a working controller with decent features for a really cheap price... for its price category, its undoubtedly amazing but idiots on the internet compare this to the G7 SE as if that was a fair comparison...

[@christopherjohnferrer3771]

So true

[@askeladden450]

Yeah, they said its 'mid' but show me a better controller in its price range. I brought it for $18 some time ago and its better than many $30 out there.

I disagree with your take as I currently have the said "Bad" controller on my hands right now. The latency is fine for what it is, the connection on Bluetooth and Dongle are hassle-free.

[@joehigashi26]

Still the best controller reviews

[@AlexanderVonMalachi]

~13$ for Nove Lite. Ordered on November 6th from China, passed customs in my country on november 12th, can't wait to give it a go, gonna be my first wireless controller. I also have a couple of 3$ wired ones with square thumbsticks and analogue triggers that are so short travel that in FH4 it's either 0 throttle, or a 100.

[@CA-JA]

Damn I was watching some budget controllers review. The other video I watched was giving such a positive review for gamesir nova lite and then I watch this and you absolute destroy the same controller 💀. Now I don't know what to do buy them or not.

[@Will_Fong]

I guess the G7 and G7 SE are still their best options. Welp, guess there wont be any successor of those 2 anytime soon.

[@TrxJxn]

[@RationalFunction]

The t4k was their best option until they discontinued it

[@vCuda]

@@TrxJxnI got a video coming out about those. I think the G7 & G7 SE are better overall. As they’re slightly cheaper (only $5. Maybe $10 depending on seller) the G7 has more stable mechanical buttons, and the T4K controllers have disconnecting issues and certain reliability ticks the G7s don’t

I have no idea what issues hes referring to, didnt have any of the mentions he had such as missing products. saying "it sucks" without barely explaining why is extremely lazy and then saying that theres a meaningful delay with the controller and using random customer reviews instead of taking it through thorough testing is also extremely lazy. The only part i agree with is that the installation setup can be a bit clunky and the instructions could get some improvements but other then that its a great controller

Gamesir reminds me a lot of the company Ayaneo. Many, MANY variants of what's mostly the same product with slight tweaks and varying pricepoints that simply don't make sense for what you're getting...

[@Oldo]

T4k got an update to how the sticks feel so if you have OG T4k vs a newer one they feel very different. T4k's sold right now come with the altered firmware. Wasn't clear before, the update is BAD it goes from a linear setup to an amplified response curve so precise accurate control goes out the window and it's totally random how it performs.

Do you have a favorite controller purely based on thumb stick smoothness? My tension/centering spring is worn out & idk if I should just get a new analog controller or switch to Hall effect. I would just replace the whole potentiometer module but I’ve heard it’s a pain to replace.

[@thegreatbum2446]

"FlyDigi has struggled to do it forever" Struggled with wireless? How so? Gamepadla's scores for FlyDigi controllers are pretty good and a lot of people are happy with their performance. Maybe you can make a video discussing this?

[@vCuda]

They have a lot of disconnecting issues and have between various models. Also, the Gamepadla scores unfortunately paint a grim picture for the Apex & Vader 4. They advertise 1ms response times via 2.4ghz, but the GPDL tester says they average around x10 that. I will be making a video on this to clear things up!

[@user-zb9jn8fl7v]

When will you review the Gamesir Cyclone Pro?

[@JorgeHSM]

I just got the nova lite and its kinda enough for me. I dont think i could get anything better for the price and dont care about pro features. Haven't tried gaming with the 2.4g connection but if its really unplayable i guess i'll go wired But the thing is, gamesir's line up is a mess and i had problems with the latest firmware version, its all over the place. But keeping it at v 4200 seems to work. v 5700 has issues with the dongle on which it only connects as a switch controller. On the previous version you can toggle the dongle mode between xinput, switch and android (dont know why would anyone do that but it works)

[@kenshinesca]

So is there good wireless controller with hall effect sticks and at least a couple back buttons for a decent price?

[@rizqiramadhan5111]

fortunately mine has 2-3ms which is as expected from the spec.... the problem with cheap thing is always about the QC sometimes it feels like 'gacha' in real life

[@KingSora909]

Now I do have a question since you're kind of doing a review for Gamesir controller I would like to know does the new Razer Wolverine V3 compared to be better than those controllers

[@davidhughes1275]

Gamesir G7 SE is the best hall effect controller out there and once overclocked to 1000Hz on PC its rapid on Xbox

[@KRRNGG]

I got the light version for $15. The firmware is terrible. After updating to the latest version, I'm unable to connect it to my Android phone, but the PC connection is smooth maybe because I'm using a UGREEN Bluetooth receiver instead of the included dongle. I read that the older version is better than the latest firmware update, but I'm too lazy to roll back the update I did. Overall, the controller is good, and it gets the job done based on my usage.

[@christopherjohnferrer3771]

I had the opposite experience, 5200 version, dongle xbox mode didn't work, android was fine. But I found the solution very easy. Just update the dongle, someone on Reddit post a link to a zip file. Now my Nova Light was working fine👌 By the way, I got mine $9.86(converted) in my country.

Gamesir just announced the G7HE, which is just the G7 with halls so the G7SE is probably gonna be obsolete now. Probably gonna end up being their best overall pad unless they really fuck it up someway somehow. The G8 label is used for their class-leading Mobile controllers which now has a new SKU with Bluetooth so who fucking knows what the long-awaited and rumored Gamesir Flagship is gonna be called.
