I got something that transforms my phone into a gaming console, and not only that, the experience I get gaming on this thing is BETTER than a "Steam Deck" in many ways. WHAT VOODOO IS THIS!? It's the Gamesir X2 PRO, and it has some VERY cool tricks up its sleeve. Not only does it play android games with full controller support AND touchscreen mapping support, and not only does it work for retro games in your favourite frontend like DIG or Daijisho and your favourite emulators like Dolphin or Retroarch, it also gives you a full STEAM DECK experience using Steam Link, in glorious ULTRAWIDE resolution!

I'm glad that the Game Boy grew up to be a respectable Game Sir.

@CharlieWestGaming Год назад

Picked up the Gamesir X2 Pro over the holidays and love it. Works great with my Samsung S22 Ultra and S10+. Use it mostly with gamepads, steamlink, and emulation.

@l_burn Год назад

I don't know about this one, but GameSir controllers were recommended to me by a DIY emulator console kit I bought. I tried a couple and they were actually quite good for a very low price compared to other after market controllers, I can't remember the model I bought but it was their Dualshock 4 knockoff. They worked great. I bought my youngest the M4 mini for his tablet and Switch gaming and I've been really impressed by how well it works and how good it feels - even in larger hands.

@FloatingSunfish Год назад

My, what a rabbit hole this video led me down to. This is definitely a much better investment than a handheld console since I can easily "upgrade" my hardware whenever I need to. Phones and tablets are definitely the future of handheld consoles.

@TechDweeb Год назад

Totally!

@ll_spud Год назад

Didnt know I needed this until now. You sold me on this. Cant wait to try it

@OVERSKULL87 Год назад

I did exactly this with a Standard Gamesir X2 and my old BlackShark 2. Emulating all the way up to Ps2 has been a blast and streaming is great too. Nothing comes close unless you pay up for a Steam Deck.

@topdamagewizard Год назад

Point of information. Tencent (COD mobile devs) have patched out this type of controller pass through. You can still play it with a controller but it must be blue tooth. Which I get it. They dont want me running over touch screen people with this thing, but its still sad. :(

@mr.n476 Год назад

i owned a shit ton of third party controllers to game on my phone, including the gamesir x2 pro. my xbox series x controller with an 8bitdo phone clip attached basically beats them all

@tomoprime217 11 месяцев назад

I just got mine. How do you deal with the short grips? I find it uncomfortable to hold when using the right analog stick. I really wish the gamevice flex was back in stock. 😢 I got a good price on the Gamesir X2 Pro $64 but I honestly would have paid more for a thicker controller. I have med sized hands. Regular? I think its because the analog stick is directly under the 4 buttons. I cant seem to get a good hold with my heavy phone in there. Its a 23 Ultra. Anyone figure this out?

@KyIeMcCIeIIan Год назад

I took a nail file(salon board) to my X2 and lowered the rubber around the USB C port, bought the thinnest case I could, and filed the bottom of it as well so that I could use my phone in its case on the Gamesir.

@rodrigomendes3327 Год назад

I need to know if Steam Link works fine with X2, not Pro version. I heard X2 isnt a Xinput controller, so maybe some buttons or even the controller didn't work properly with Steamlink or Parsec.

@symuzahadev1422 Год назад

If you leave the X2 Pro connected, it drains the battery like crazy. 25-30% overnight. There are multiple reports of this behaviour online but none of the youtube reviews meintion it. Has anyone found a way to address this issue? Or is there a way to put the x2 pro on standby, while connected to the phone? Sadly it makes it difficult to turn a device into a dedicated gaming console indefinitely 😢

@TechDweeb Год назад

Interesting. I wonder if his anything you can do with the app permissions, maybe suspend it when not in use or something

@symuzahadev1422 Год назад

@@TechDweeb that is the thought process I had too, so I completely removed their app and found that it continued to do the same, as long as the controller was connected. Additionally, I couldn't find any core apps that I could turn off to disable the usb power throughput to the controller... It's like the controller keeps draining the battery in an effort to keep itself ready to go all the time, instead of going in standby or something after not being used for a certain period of time.

@thecircusb0y1 Год назад

I tried this, actually with a gamesir controller and a phone mount, and it works well for mobile gaming. But for some reason, it didn’t hold at all as strong as using my steamdeck.

@kevindrinkwine420 Год назад

Love your content. I do feel that you are sleeping on getting a steamdeck. The track pads, sound stage, and overall comfort of the handheld makes for a great gaming experience. I hope to see "I was wrong about the steam deck" video from you in the future 😅

@TechDweeb Год назад

I hope to see that too :)

@CyberClu Год назад

I was about to say something similar. The button and thumbsticks layout of the Steam Deck may look weird, but they are super comfortable and premium, compared to the Switch type layout, which tend to cramp hands after awhile. And the Deck also has gryo abilities. Not sure if the Gamesir X2 Pro has that. And with the Vibrant Deck mod to increase saturation, it gives it an Oled type experience.

@kratos2105 Год назад

In order to appreciate the deck you must first own it, I’ve been playing this thing more than my PS5 due to how comfortable and well rounded it is.

@GreenLeefMusic Год назад

@@CyberClu @CyberClu Gamesir X2 Pro does not have Gyro. But that may be possible via the phone itself. I own this controller & a Steam Deck and hands down the Steam Deck is a much better experience, even without having my 1440P OLED phone screen. The X2 Pro is more comfortable than a Switch but not more comfortable than a Steam Deck. It is just more cramped in general and missing all of those QOL features, plus cloud gaming is not for everyone.

@luckyKon Год назад

It's so amazing how you fan boys missed the point of the video. This unit is $70 vs $400 and it's comparable in experience. Some of us can't go out and buy yet another console, nor do we want to.

@anothorestes 10 месяцев назад

I bought an x2 pro recently and am so impressed! I'm mostly interested in ps2 emulation (I like my miyoo mini plus for everything less intensive) but the game pass ultimate is such a cool novelty. The app is sketchy though. Why does a controller app need GPS access? Luckily you can reject permissions a few times and there's a 'skip' option

@TechDweeb 10 месяцев назад

Yeah who knows about the sketchy app. I assume if there were any red flags we'd have heard about them. Gamesir wants to sell products, I don't think it'd be worth it for them to get scammy with their app. But you can totally use it without the app, it works fine, the app is just for using their version of a screen mapper, and there are other 3rd party tools for that that work with this controller AFIK.

@ezeepeezy Год назад

Looks awesome, this may be a bad question, but is there a version of the controller for Apple or only Android?

@I4get42 Год назад

Good morning! I hope today is a good one for you. Very nifty video/product. I've got an Xbox branded kishi v1 and it is a bit cheaper but doesn't seem nearly as nice as this (no screen mapper, and more flimsy). I thought I would use it more, but it was more like a gateway to wanting a handheld. I think the big limiter for me was that I didn't want to risk messing up my primary phone, and it doesn't have a micro-sd card slot, so I didn't want to fill it up with games. I'm one of those wackos who got, and loves, the Logitech Cloud. It isn't NEARLY as powerful as my S21, but the screen and controls are a delight. And it has worked great for all of the games I've wanted to play so far.

@TechDweeb Год назад

I think the Cloud is a GREAT device. I would have bought one if it was just a little bit cheaper. Yeah it's not as powerful as other handhelds, but in terms of the screen and controls and ergonomics it's top notch.

@TechDweeb Год назад

I can't remember to be honest, and it's already set up now so I can't redo the setup. But there are some instructions that come up. I think it gives you 3 options. Believe the first option is the one you want (not with a PC or another usb device). I recall something about having to enable dev access, setup permissions, and then making sure the app has 'display over top of other apps' permission, something about needing a code from a notification. Sorry I can't remember more than that, but it's all in the instructions. Just follow them carefully step by step.

@jasonmatos2896 Год назад

Thank you my friend keep up the great videos..

@snowdog03 Год назад

@Jason Matos A quick Google search told me how.

@roqeyt3566 Год назад

I'd recommend the kishi over this, if not just for the price But using your phone for gaming, grabbing a gamepass subscription to get access to PC games, it's actually a lovely deal! Even with my unhealthy love for the steam deck, I have 0 issues recommending a phone controller and game pass for those that don't have hundreds of looneys to spend on hardware and games.

@TechDweeb Год назад

I didn't even touch on Game Pass in this video (because I can't, because my rural internet sucks), but that's a great point!

@tomisfy 7 месяцев назад

To anyone reading this, avoid the kishi and the backbone. Gamesir X2 Pro or Gamesir G8 Galileo are still probably your best choices. Why? They use sticks that are closer to an actual controller than the joycon like sticks that the backbone and kishi use. The G8 Galileo blows both out of the water in ergonomics, buttons, and sticks (except the d-pad) and has better pricing (unless you find them on sale)

This is great. Potentially a great addition to the steam deck. I love my steam deck, mostly because I'm not home enough, but even there when I'm too lazy to get up. Steam Deck is the way. However with the deck, you don't get super high refresh rates. I get 90hz on my phone. So I really think streaming to it makes more sense when at home and don't mind physically getting up to turn on the PC

I want one of these but unsure if it fit with my case on it?. Anyone chime in?,

@TechDweeb Год назад

It didn't fit with my case, but I read some reviews that said it did work with their case. I think it just depends how thick your case is near the charging port.

I got the non pro version a week ago, works great when I just wanna play in bed.

Picked one of these up with the intention of just leaving it attached to an old phone to use as a retro handheld. I can only point to a couple minor nitpicks but for some reason i just cant vibe with it. The minor nitpicks are slow charging unless you want to disassemble, cant fit the phone and the controller in the case it came with and a general bulkiness. But those are minor gripes and I imagined myself getting over them. Overall the controller feels like good quality too. Yet for some reason I just cant be bothered to play with it and I want to try a dedicated handheld like RP3+ or Pocket Flip instead.

That's fair. Sometimes you don't know how you feel about something until you start using it. Sometimes something you don't think you'll like ends up being your favourite, and sometimes something you think you'll love ends up collecting dust.

I have an RP3 and I like this better.

@jayjayhooksch1 Год назад

@@topdamagewizard that's not good news for me then lol I ordered a retroid pocket flip hoping a stand alone device would feel better. Maybe I'm just not a handheld kind of guy. We'll see after my pocket flip arrives.

This is actually insanity. I'm totally getting this. Sometimes I just don't want to game sitting on my desk.

I'm with ya.

Awesome setup and cheap , I have an oled steam deck even a gaming pc ,but as you said if someone needs a cheap alternative to play on the sofa or in bed its a good idea and not spending too much , but for personal taste i`d prefer the steam deck🤗

Is gamesir x3 better

Huh guess this is similar too the Razer Kishi ? Might be exactly the same just rebranded too be a Razer product, specially the v2 kishi... With the Kishi v1 the major issue was a lack of an app too rebind controls & stuff but there's third party ones like mantis gamepad pro which is free, probably works for the gamesir one too. A website in Sweden has it on sale for 549 sek or 53$ while the gamesir x2 pro is 899 sek or 87 usd here bit of a hard pill for me too swallow for now without a job + I'd rarely use this anyway. Kishi V2 seems too allow touch only games just fine as well but costs more then the gamesir x2 pro does on the same website.

The Kishi v2 looks like a great device. Plus that one is officially supported in games like Warzone (I think, don't quote me on that).

@@TechDweeb Yeah i wouldn't worry much about that personally. Mostly PS1, Sega genesis, snes, gba, gb, gbc emulation & steam remote play id be interested in. Maybe some ports of game engines like RVGL for Re-volt, Xash3d for half-life 1 etc... at the top of my head here at least. Not in a hurry too set that up though having rebuilt my pc not too long ago.
