    Outstanding Value

    Paid $30 for this on special. It's an unbeatable value at that price; nothing comes remotely close. This beats a lot of controllers that cost double. Pros + excellent customization (stick deadzone, hair triggers, etc) + many configuration options can be done directly with the controller + sticks feel smooth as glass + sticks won't drift + can rearrange face buttons + includes charging dock AND 2.4ghz adapter + lighting effects are nice and can be turned off if they aren't your thing + faceplates available + wakes switch from sleep + has an off switch Cons - d-pad is horrible, very hard to pivot. biggest disappointment on the controller - gyro randomly resets position for me. This can be fixed with a firmware update, might be solved by the time you read this - the shortcut buttons on the back are easy for me to hit by accident, but this could be a plus if you want something twitch-friendly. I simply disable them Overall, I'd take this over the Nintendo Switch Pro controller any day of the week. It's a straight upgrade.

    So far i really like these remotes. They look grest and the charge cradle is a nice clean setup. Connects to my switch 2 perfectly. BUT the one thing I don’t understand is the led lights on the remote. Mine flickers like crazy all while im playing, its a bit distracting and also i fear it runs the battery down. Also, the rumble feature can get extreme.

    The controller has really good response and the buttons are really well well built and also you could swap up the button letters to what game you’re playing if you’re playing new games or old-school games I like that it has a charging stand so you don’t have to plug in a cable every time you need to charge it And I like that when you pick it up out of the charging it automatically connects to your computer without doing much work the only thing that I did not like is the software it’s a little bit buggy sometimes but it works all right when you wanna map the controller or remove the RGB lights also you need to be careful on one of the software’s. If you have the wrong controller I don’t know if they’re already fixed this but if you try to connect it to to that type of program, it will break the controller so it will stop working so read the description and what kind of model of controller you have

    Best Controller I’ve used on the Switch 2 So Far

    This controller is excellent. It feels great, buttons are nice and tactile. Triggers are reliable, no lag that I can detect. It’s got a good weight to it, the included charging stand is handy albeit not as used as I expected. And the color is glorious. I would not waste money on the Pro 2 Controller.

    Bought this so on sale for more controllers for our youth group smash brothers matches we play and the kids love it. Bought a second one and going to brand it with our church logo and it will be the grand prize in our Smash Bros tournament! It even comes with a nice dock to charge it on and removea le faceplate so that the buttons can be swapped depending on what system you are playing on!

    The GameSir Super Nova Wireless Gaming Controller is extremely versatile—compatible with Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PC, iOS, and Android. It arrived in perfect condition and works flawlessly. The Hall Effect sticks and triggers give it a premium feel, and the included charging dock is a great bonus. So far, I’m very satisfied with its performance across multiple devices.

    Charging Dock Convenience I Wish I Knew Sooner

    I’ve been using this with my Nintendo Switch, and I can’t believe I didn’t know how convenient a charging dock could be until now. It’s incredibly easy to use, and I don’t have to hunt for cables anymore. This model’s dock is especially great—you can just drop the controller in, and it fits perfectly. The pretty LED adds a nice decorative touch as well. Most importantly, there’s no worry about drift thanks to the hall effect, and it feels great in the hand. Both my kid and I can play comfortably, and it’s so ergonomic that we even end up reaching to grab this controller instead of each other’s—it works for both small and adult hands.

    The picture shows a Famicom looking red but the actual color is bright red. Buyers beware. Controller’s bluetooth disconnecs every so often. Play with the wireless dongle connection.

    Nintendo Switch 1 Pro Controller, but better.

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I love this controller. Loved it so much I bought a second. It works on the Switch 2 as advertised, too. If you want to get an idea of what it feels like in hand, I would describe it as exactly like the body of the Nintendo Switch 1 Pro controller with the PS5 controller's bumpers and triggers (without the resistance feature, of course). It is slightly heavier than the Switch Pro controller, and doesnt feel cheap. The charging dock has RGB that syncs with the RGB on the controller, which makes it feel like a more expensive, well thought out product. For the $30 it is on sale (red/white color), I don't think you can do better anywhere. I like it more than the PS5, Xbox, and Switch 1 Pro controller. I haven't tried the switch 2 pro controller, but I don't think it is 2.8x better than this controller to warrant the price. I would argue this is better than it beinf that it comes with a charging dock and works on PC/Mobile. Final note: I was kind of worried the white/red color wouldn't look good in person, but it is a wonderful combination, in my opinion.

    Unbeatable Price! High Performance (Short Term)

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Pros: 1. The performance is fantastic! 2. Price is unbeatable! 3. The PC app is very easy to navigate and loaded with options! 4. You can run zero deadzone, for at most the first 1-2 months... Cons: 1. The built in trigger stops are extremely week, I have broken them on two of these controllers in 1-3 days both times. 2. When playing with the controller plugged in, it's very easy to accidentally unplug the cord causing a disconnect and potentially ruining the game/match you're playing. Why don't more controller manufactures have some type of locking cord feature to prevent this? 3. The sticks will get drift in about the same time frame as every other controller on the market.

    Grest secondary controller

    I picked up the GameSir Supernova as a backup controller for my Nintendo Switch, and it’s been a solid addition to my setup. The build quality feels premium for the price, and the transparent shell with RGB lighting adds a fun, modern touch. It’s comfortable to hold even during longer sessions, and the buttons and triggers are responsive with a satisfying feel. While I still prefer my Pro Controller for primary use, the Supernova holds its own—especially when friends come over or for casual play. It connects quickly, works great wirelessly, and even includes extra features like adjustable vibration and turbo, which are nice bonuses. If you’re looking for a stylish and reliable secondary controller for the Switch (or even PC), the GameSir Supernova is definitely worth checking out.

    Great Switch and Steam controller

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This is a great controller. It's a great alternative to a Switch Pro controller. Works great as a steam controller as well. You can also physically swap the buttons. There's a software you can download to change settings on the controller, which is pretty handy. The best part IMO is that it comes with a nice charging cradle. The only drawback is that it does not work with X Box games. So if you have game pass on your laptop, Legion GO, Steamdeck or Ally, it will not work with those games. That's more an issue with Microsoft unfortuantely. There is the G7 controller, but it's wired.

    Solid ugly controller with some limitations

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    It's a solid controller with hall effect thumbsticks and hall effect triggers. The shape is more like Xbox controller than say 8bitdo or PS5. I only dislike three things. One, the exclusive best buy color is pretty ugly. Two, the front face is pretty big/broad, so the midsection of the controller feels a little chonky. Three, there is no way to store profiles on how to program the back paddles. Other controllers with back paddles allow different profiles to duplicate different buttons, like fortnite jump and slide buttons are different than call of duty jump and slide buttons. No way to create a profile for each game layout.

    The Gamesir SuperNova is a very good controller. I've primarily used it on PC, but tested it on the Switch 2 as well. It's performance on PC is far better, which is to be expected. I tested the hall effect joystick circularity that had a 0.1% avg error. Which is great in comparison to the standard controllers you'll get from Xbox or PlayStation. While connected to my PC with a USB-C cable, I can confirm it had 1ms input lag, which in comparison to a PlayStation Dualsense (4ms) and Xbox Series Controller (8ms), is really good. It also definitely hits the 1000hz polling rate that is often advertised with these controllers. It just doesn't compete with the very best you can get, and sure, for the price you'd say it shouldn't. But within this price range, the Gamesir G7 Pro is definitely better.
