Linux Buyers Beware (It does work though)
5 Stars
Linux Buyers Beware (It does work though)
First off let me start off by saying that I chose not to mark off any points for any of the issues I had due Linux. This product is not designed for Linux, it is not advertised to be compatible with Linux, and any problems I faced are purely my own for buying this over something that does advertise Linux compatibility. That said, I will be talking about my experience on Linux as Linux users often have to make the choice between buying a worse product that will definitely work, or a better one that will maybe work.First, let me talk about the controller itself. This is by far the BEST controller I have ever laid my hands on. It is extremely clear to me that every single detail was painstakingly refined to bring us this product. Everything from the looks to the physical build quality is absolutely flawless and I am extremely happy when I am using this thing. The grips are hard plastic and feature a texture similar to knurling that not only really grippy, but seems like it will help minimize the impact of sweaty hands (though I haven't owned it long enough to say for certain if this is the case).As for the input, the sticks perform about as well as you would expect, but the feel of the sticks is really good. The edges of the stick cap are knurled so they are extra grippy and unlikely to slip in intense gaming sessions. The face buttons use clicky mechanical switches and they feel and sound exactly like clicking a mouse. In games I actually really appreciate this additional auditory feedback as in kart racers where you have to time when you start holding the gas, its good to be able to hear how far off you were.The D-Pad was my biggest worry and I can honestly say that I am relieved that this D-Pad is good. It is very easy to make a D-Pad that FEELS good and for most people that's all they need to speak highly of it. It's an entirely different challenge to make one that PERFORMS well. Most modern D-Pads I have used are too sensitive on diagonal inputs which makes certain retro games or fighting games pretty hard. With this each of the 8 directions have a noticeable click, and its hard to actuate a diagonal input unintentionally, even when you rock from 1 side to the other.Now on to the Linux sectionLet me start by reiterating that this DOES work... There are just a couple pretty nasty caveats. When I first got this controller, I saw that it supported both xinput and direct input and I assumed between one of those 2 that it would work. When the controller arrived and I go to plug it in for the first time it lights up in xinput mode... and then immediately turns off the light. I go around trying to follow the instructions to change the modes and it nothing happens at all. I then start poking around my system to try to debug whether the system even sees the controller and I end up spending 3 hours trying to figure out SOMETHING that would let me keep this glorious thing. Then later I found out that in order to change modes I had to HOLD the buttons as the controller is powering on and suddenly the first thing I thought to try turned out to be the solution. As for the "nasty caveats", the only mode on this controller that works with Linux is Android mode. Xinput mode immediately shuts off after it powers on, I couldn't figure out how to access the controller with direct input (though I didn't try very long), and Nintendo Switch mode ACTUALLY FREEZES MY SYSTEM. To add to this problem, this is a wired only controller that realistically you might want to leave connected to your system at all time. The problem with that though is that for some reason during the bootup process the controller tries to boot into Nintendo Switch mode so I either have to have it unplugged when booting my system, or babysit the controller so it boots into the correct mode. Also while I don't know exactly what is happening, I believe the controller is interfering with Steam's ability to launch as well, so it is best to not even plug it in until Steam launches.Once you have it working it performs really well. You lose access to features such as rumble and gyro, but a lot of configuration features of the controller are accessed from the controller itself, so you get access to stuff like hair trigger mode, switching A and B and X and Y, and most importantly, programmable back buttons. You can also adjust the lighting to one of four modes (which is better than nothing) and you can change their brightness or turn them off if you don't care about them. I do not have a windows machine to test if configuring it on windows will stick when you switch to Linux, but if that does then that would be great.Conclusion:Overall, if you are a Windows user, you are going to have absolutely 0 issues with this controller. It's an excellent controller and supposedly the configuration software is pretty good. If you are a Linux user and you are OK with all the workaround you need to do to get this controller to play nice with your system, then physically, there is nothing that should prevent you from enjoying this controller. Though again, on Linux, you DO need to leave it unplugged when you aren't using it.While I know that getting full Linux support is a lot to ask of any company, I would really like if GameSir at least tried to offer a bare minimum level of support for Linux (I.e. boots into a mode that works by default and not into a mode that hard freeze your system on boot). It is very clear from using this controller that the engineers considered every tiny detail of this controller and put a lot of love into polishing it to perfection, and I would love if future products by this company were more widely available on other platforms.

Finally 3rd party companies are giving us features that the oem can't seem to wrap their head around.

You are getting pro controller features for budget controller prices. Gone are the days of giving the guest the "crap controller"
This may look like a xbox controller. But is actually a PC/nintendo switch controller.

For $50 you're getting
- two mappable back buttons
- hall sticks (drift resistant)
- customizable leds (looks amazing)
- turbo functionality
- ab/xy swap
- hair trigger mode
- mechanical face buttons
All these features can be used right on the controller with the mode button

The only cons I take issues with are nitpicking things.
- it's wired (not a problem for me because I plug it into a usb port on my desk.)
- the usb c port design. It's shrouded in plastic so chances are your custom cable will not fit unless its really low profile and you'll have to use the one with the controller granted the one that comes with it is generously long.
- the mechanical face buttons feel different to a "mouse click" you'd find on something like a eswap pro S. It feels more like clicking a pen. Which some people might find a tad weird.

***the software***
Please do not download the software from the windows store. Get it directly off gamesir's site. For some reason windows would constantly connect and disconnect the controller and the app wouldn't recognize it. Downloading directly from gamesir gave me a different version that works totally fine and opens up more customizable options such as stick dead zones adjustments.

All in all if you don't mind wired controllers and can put up with the feel of the face buttons. It's a solid 10/10 in features, price and looks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Low Latency ✅Hall Effect ✅
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 1, 2023
Some interesting choices but a very capable controller. I hope it lasts many years and so far, I have no reason to believe it wouldn't.

The latency is amazing. XInput reports 0.955ms. I purchased this on the latency claims and the controller delivers. I have now swapped over from the Gulikit KingKong 2 Pro for the 90% reduction in input latency that is definitely noticeable. I opted for the wired T4 Kaleid over the latest wireless Gamesir offerings as they are limited to 250hz polling I believe.

Joysticks and triggers are great, smooth, no resistance, definitely hall effect.

All the face buttons are micro-switches I believe. So ABXY feel like mouse clicks instead of a standard rubber dome controller face button. Weird but weighted nicely and very responsive. No complaints.

The D-Pad switches are softer, feels more like a rubber dome switch setup but all feels good.

The rear macro buttons can be assigned to another button or a series of buttons on the fly. Also clicky micro switches but placed nicely and very responsive.

Build quality is great. The textured and gloss plastic all looks and feels great. No soft touch coatings to deteriorate and become sticky. The cable is a standard, replaceable type C cable. The type C port is also recessed quite far into the body of the controller to protect the port from cable stresses. Finding a replacement cable may be more difficult but the port should be protected from most drops etc.

The screen printing on the exposed internal circuit boards looks great. A shame that the actual electronics aren't visible but still looks cool.

Lighting is bright and colourful, maybe a little excessive but looks great. I setup a slow light profile in the software with a max brightness of 5% on each LED. Less blinding now.

The windows software just about works. Windows thinks it has crashed every time it opens. Once it loads and recognises the controller, click into a profile and set the polling rate to 1000hz! The software holds 4 profiles and only one is loaded onto the controller at a time. Each profile can remap each button, adjust joystick and trigger output range (dead zone), vibration intensity, adjustable gyro output and have 4 lighting modes.

If you want the reliability of a wired controller, I have found nothing better then this one so far.
