A couple of years ago, we reviewed the excellent GameSir X2 Pro Mobile Game Controller for Xbox Cloud Gaming and Xbox Remote Play, and it was such an impressive product that we're still using it regularly to this day.
So, we're definitely interested in the GameSir X2s Type-C Mobile Controller, which not only includes some really cool features for an xCloud device, but it's also retailing for cheaper than the X2 Pro was back in 2022.
The key features here include Hall Effect Triggers and Sticks (helping to eliminate analog stick drift), a movable Type-C port for connecting directly to your phone without the need for Bluetooth, a Turbo function for "faster firing without latency", a capture button for your screenshots, and customisation support via the GameSir app on Android.
Better yet, this X2s model is supremely adaptable to a wide range of devices, with no width restrictions (and a 110mm to 168mm restriction in length) along with support for Android and iPhone 15 series phones.
We haven't had a chance to go hands-on with this yet, but we're liking what we're seeing! It's available right now on on Amazon for just £49.99 in the UK and $45.99 in the US, which seems very reasonable to us at first glance.
