GameSir delivered big time with this one; the trigger stops, the back paddles, and the grips fit perfectly in the hand. I bought this for my Switch 2, but I am always wanting to use it more because it's so nice! The RGB lighting that you can customize makes it super flashy.
It also has durable Hall effect sticks that feel really nice. I can't say enough good things about this item. BUY this if you see it for $40 or below, if you need a switch to a controller or PC/mobile controller. You won't be sorry.

This controller is SPECIFICALLY ONLY for Switch, switch2, PC, iOS and Android. people complaining it doesn't work for Xbox or playstation clearly do not know how to read. that being said, this controller is amazing!!! only thing I think its lacking is an amiibo reader, but that definitely isn't a deal breaker for me.
Make sure to keep hold of the manual for being able to figure out controls of the lights and other functions.

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.

Excellent and feels more comfortable than a Switch Pro or PS5 controller. You have to try it for yourself to understand. Everything else works fine, better battery than PS5 controller, seamless connectivity with PC and Switch. Paid $30 on sale and it's a steal tbh. Has RGB too and comes with a dock. For 30. Bucks. Let that sink in.

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.

So many options. Super Nova controller allows users to customize the look and feel of the controller with barely any effort. Changing colors, vibration levels, faceplates, and even the layout of the buttons. Connect bluetooth or wired. One of my favorite features is that the Bluetooth connects to PC, Switch, Android, and iOS.

I got this for my Switch 2 as I am not going pay $85+tax for Nintendo branded and glad I did. You may need to update the firmware as it was acting a bit crazy jumping areound on the screen from time to time. After the update all great. Feels of great quality and for a good price. Software is even good. I am not a fan of the color to be honest, I dont care that much as i dont look at it while playing. Easy recommend if you dont want to pay the Nintendo tax.

Great comfy controller that comes with a nice charging deck and led and many ways to customize it, makes me wonder how they are able to sell this for 30 bucks. But sometimes when I play the controller turns off by itself, it also turns off after no use for 10 minutes, little annoying, but great controller for the budget and WIRELESS. It's better to spend 15 more bucks on this controller so you can use it outside of the dock and Amiibo support (I think), you can change the LED colors, change the feel of the triggers. Good controller.

I have many many mid-low tier controllers under $70. This is a very good controller with membrane buttons and adjustable trigger. This is my 5th supernova. I liked this new color combination and this was on good sale. This is my current daily controller for switch 2. If you like mechanical buttons, get a cyclone 2 from the same company instead.

Worth every penny. This is way better than the xbox controller, which is in the same price range as this one. The trigger stops help tremendously in certain shooting games. Some say you can push past the trigger stop, but for me, they are pretty firm and solid. The lighting is also good and the ability to troggle vibration intensity. And you get a charging station, how cool is that!
I did get some connection issues with the 5g dongle once, however. Not sure what was the issue.

4.5 stars. It works great on my switch and PC. The only reason it’s not 5 stars is because you can’t use the Bluetooth connection on pc, you have to use a dongle. It took some web searching to figure that out. But overall I’m happy with it.

The overall grip and feeling The controller is great. Battery life seems okay and the charging station that comes with it is great. The one drawback is and loses connectivity from time to time though quickly picks back up and doesn't bother me much. I still feel like this is a much better option than the Nintendo wireless controller sells for twice as much.

Very good controller. Purchased to play games on my phone while using the Viture Luna Pro glasses. Works perfectly, and i like the swappable charging port on the stand. Allows you to charge with usb a or usb c ports by just reversing thr cable

Shortly after receiving the controller, it would disconnect every 30 minutes. I’m unsure what was causing it as it just one day stopped while I was in the process of trying to get it replaced. Other than that the wife is happy with this product.
