GameSir X5 Lite Mobile Gaming Controller for Android & iPhone 15/16 Series (USB-C), Hall Effect Joystick, Lightweight Ergonomic Phone Controller- Play Genshin Impact & Zenless Zone Zero

The best mobile controller for you (if you are okay with sacrifice)
This controller is SOLID. After using it for some time now and getting some mileage on it, I think it’s fair to finally tell you why this is a solid controller (if you are ok with some sacrifice)Short story: I’m coming off of a BackBone One (PS) that I had and loved. Now with the iPhone 16 with usb c, I had to start looking for a new one.I want to give you some of the pros and cons about this controller to help you make a more informed decision rather than just going the easy route and saying “it great 👍👍👍”Games I’ve tested this controller with:Call of Duty Warzone MobileCall of Duty MobileZenless Zone ZeroHonkai: Star RailDead CellsStardew ValleyWarframeSteam Link/Xbox Cloud (have not tried PlayStation remote play so I do apologize if this review doesn’t have EVERYTHING)Pros: the controller is built with great features. It has weight, and stretches quite a bit (for those who like a larger screen like an iPad mini or other usb c supported small tablets). It has pass through charging which in my opinion is amazing, allowing you to charge your device while still holding the controller comfortably. The buttons feel smooth, responsive and very tactile. It comes with rubber pad to help secure the device and make it snug and even has a protruding usb c port to allow electronics with cases (thickness depending) to sit in. The instruction booklet, while absolutely confusing, does go over some of the cool features like switching between android and iPhone. Connecting to games was (mostly) seamless and worked as intended for most of the games I was playing.Cons: while the device has pass through charging and a usb c connector, the fact it doesn’t come with a headphone jack for more in game immersion is a bit strange, I can understand that we’re in an age of Bluetooth headphone technology, so not a huge issue whatsoever. The app is a mess. It doesn’t have REAL support for this controller right now so maybe that will change in the future but as it stands, don’t bother wasting space on the app until it’s supported. Although most games I played had support right from the go, some of them were a bit more trouble some, that being specific buttons that I would associate with being specific prompts would flat out not work and would put me in some rather unstable predicaments. The controller doesn’t have PC support, so don’t expect to get a standalone controller out of this as well, which is a shame.If you ask me, if you’re coming off of something like a Kishi or Backbone and need something solid without breaking the bank, this is a snag for sure, plus it makes a great gift for the gamer on the go. However, as far as I have experienced, don’t expect full controller capabilities from it. it does more than most controllers similarly priced, and that’s perfectly fine.

崩壊3rdをどうしてもコントローラーでプレイしたく、仮想タップに対応し、かつ軽いコントローラーを探していたところ、こちらの商品に辿り着きました。ボタンの押し心地はSwitchのプロコンにかなり近いです。ボタンが真っ直ぐ沈んでくれるので、押し心地は良い感じ。トリガーはかなり浅めのボタンになっているので、ここは好みが別れると思います。サイズが小さめですが、手が15cmと小さめの私にはちょうど良かったです。PS4のコントローラー（DUALSHOCK4）が好みだった方には、重さ･サイズ共にかなり持ちやすいと思います。ケースを付けたまま（手帳型は厳しいと思います）でも取り付けられますが、パッドに給電する都合上かなりスマホが熱を発するので、裸の状態でつけた方が安心だと思います。初期に付いていた厚いシリコンでは端子がきちんと刺さらなかったため、中厚を着用。GooglePlayからGameSirアプリを入手し、特に難しい設定もなく接続完了しました。反応も良好で、遅延なども特に感じませんでした。G-padの使用方法ですが、GameSirアプリからゲームを起動する事が条件となります。ボタン設定のため、フローティング表示を許可する必要があります。ゲーム起動後は、画面上に現れた赤いアイコンをタップしてから、任意のエリアをタップすることでボタンの追加が可能。細かい設定については、どなたかが詳しく解説してくれてると思うので割愛します。総じて、値段以上のクオリティで大満足です。Android端末でG-padを検討中の方には是非オススメしたいです。

The perfect phone controller for me! It’s in between the Gamesir X2s and Galileo G8 plus. The G8 was too heavy and the X2s felt a bit too cramp but the Gamesir X5 lite feels like the best of both worlds in terms of weight and comfort. I like this wayy better than my g8 plus, which i found a bit too heavy and bulky.

Dieser Controller ist absolut genial. Auspacken, die Polsterungen im Innenleben so montieren, dass der Anschluss am Handy passt, Handy einschieben und los geht’s. Ich hasse Spiele am Handy zu spielen, da mir einfach die Steuerung per Touch absolut gegen den Strich geht. Ich brauche etwas haptisches. Mit diesem Controller macht das Zocken am Handy einfach nur Bock. Habe die offizielle App noch nicht ausprobiert und benutze stattdessen Mantis, aber auch hier geht alles kinderleicht und Spiele wie Diablo oder Solo Leveling erkennen den Controller komplett nativ ohne Fummelei. Geil. Ich wünschte das Ding wäre etwas günstiger, ansonsten ist alles top, kann ich nur empfehlen. Fühlt sich auch in der Hand sehr gut an, als hätte man ein Handheld in den Händen.
