Up until now I was using an XBOX One controller with a clip for attaching your phone, which worked well but was quite unergonomic. I had to keep my wrists in an awkward angle, which made my fingers go numb after a short amount of time.

Now I got me the Gamesir X2 Pro and I couldn’t be happier. The Switch form factor is SO MUCH MORE ergonomic and with the USB C connection there’s no latency at all. It’s finally fun to play emulators on the phone (or to stream from my gaming PC).

The buttons are rather clicky, so the acustics can get a little annoying, but haptically they feel great. The build quaility is pretty satisfying all around.

Totally recommended if you’re into phone gaming.

    I wanted to get one because I wanted to try AMD Link on my phone. I saw the Gamesir X2 and it was expensive, I also saw the Razer Kishi (v1) which was on discount.

    In the end, I just didn’t buy anything cause I spent my money on sweets 🤣🤣.

      The price drops from time to time. When I first checked it out it was like 80 EUR, which is way too much for a toy like this. Now I got it for 64 EUR, which is still rather steep, but much more bearable. And honestly, that thing is more fun than I’d have expected.

        Hmm, I might as well watch out for it rather then spending it on chocolate covered nuts or M&Ms. The Kishi I saw was on sale on Amazon for 37 Euros I think.

        But since you recommended it, I’ll try it 🤞🏼
