Customer Ratings & Reviews

[Employee of bestbuy] Best controller ever for my Fold 7 with absolute low or no latency. I've charged it like once since l've gotten it!!! Also it's HALL EFFECT SO 0 STICK DRIFT <3 On top of that it comes with a protective shell. Never seen a controller come with that. Gamesir is by far the best brand controllers I have ever used.

The X5s is a STEAL! I watched all the reviews on YouTube, and this stood out as the best controller for mobile–PERIOD. Check the Retro Game Corps review, if you're looking for the best review. It beats all of the other options from Backbone, Razor and 8bitdo–at a MUCH lower price. I use it to play AAA games and emulate old NES, Gamecube, GBA, PSP games on my iPhone. It also works great as an extra controller for my Switch OLED when I want a real D-pad instead of suffering with my joycons. Just buy it–it's the price of a nice dinner, but offers YEARS of late night gaming in bed.

The controller is very light and comfortable to use. One thing I would suggest for future product improvements is to make the device’s (phone, tablet, etc) charging port accessible. Maybe they can provide a bumper with a gap for the port. I like that this controller does not rely on my phone’s battery. However, since the phone’s charging port is blocked by how the phone is cradled in the controller I cannot charge my phone while gaming. Otherwise, this is a solid controller since it is very comfortable to use on many devices. I have used it with my phone and an iPad Mini without issue.

Great controller extremely responsive and reliable would be 5 stars but the only con is a pretty big flaw and thats the size or the actual length of the handle grips it is way too small in the palms negatively affecting the quality of the feel and performance that you need to play for anytime over an hour at best.

Love the battery life as well as the adaptability to play on most platforms I’ve charged this thing maybe twice since I’ve gotten it. Love it for on the go gaming and I find myself using it when at home too. Also comes with a case. Definitely recommend.

A controller that is very easy to set up with my S24 Ultra and very lightweight; I bought it to use with emulators—you just need to configure it, and it's ready for action.

The remote is comfortable and feels very well-crafted—it functions flawlessly with both the Z Fold 7 and my computer. I truly appreciate the casing.

One of the best! If not top 5 best multi purpose controller for sure! I can use it when playing emulator on my android and I can use it on the switch 2! Very versatile can’t be anymore happy with it! I gave it a 5 star because of my experienxe with the controller. It’s a smaller compared to the G8 plus so experience may vary. The controller is very light and ergonomics wise feels really great for long sessions of gaming. I play RPG games with the controller so I’m not sure how it is when playing fighting or racing games. Very happy with my purchase!

Perfect for my mobile and love it they are perfect

Love everything about it...i dont have anything negative to say about it.

I’ve been using the GameSir X5s for a bit now, and honestly it’s a really solid controller for the price. The first thing that stands out is the build quality—it feels sturdy and well-made, not cheap or flimsy like some other mobile controllers in this range. The Hall effect sticks and triggers are a huge plus. They feel smooth and precise, and you don’t have to worry about stick drift over time, which is a big deal if you play a lot. Movement and aiming feel accurate, whether you’re playing shooters or racing games. Connectivity is another strong point. The tri-mode support makes it super versatile—you can use it with your phone, Nintendo Switch, or other devices without hassle. Pairing is quick and stable, and I didn’t experience any noticeable input lag. The design is also very comfortable. It fits nicely in the hands, and the layout feels natural, similar to a traditional controller. That makes long gaming sessions way more enjoyable without hand fatigue. Battery life has been reliable too. It lasts long enough for multiple sessions, so you’re not constantly worrying about charging it. Overall, for around $50, this controller offers excellent value. You’re getting premium features like Hall effect sticks, solid wireless performance, and wide compatibility at a budget-friendly price. Definitely a great option if you want to upgrade your mobile or Switch gaming experience without spending a lot.

Gamesir makes good products, and this is a pretty nice mobile controller. For me, I found it a little small, though that does help with portability. Bluetooth works very well and means you can use this with multiple devices. Again, depends on your hand size and whether you like smaller or bigger controllers, but definitely worth trying out.

The GameSir X5s Wireless Bluetooth Controller is the absolute perfect match for the Lenovo Legion Y700, effortlessly transforming the 8.8-inch tablet into a premium, switch-style handheld console. Lightweight, ergonomic, and incredibly responsive, this pairing is the ultimate setup for high-end mobile emulation and cloud gaming.

This controller surprised the heck out of me. Coming from the PS Edition Backbone, I had to find a new controller after upgrading my phone. This one, for a fraction of the price, is more feature rich and compatible than I could have ever hoped. I love the ability to rearrange the buttons, and the Bluetooth connectivity is flawless on my iPhone. I’ll be buying a couple more of these for my kids, since they can use it for their Nintendo Switch consoles and their tablets as well. If you’re in the fence, just buy the bullet and do it. You won’t regret it. I had never heard of GameSir before this purchase, but I’ll be keeping an eye on what they do next!

Surprisingly comes with a hard perfect fit case for the controller. It is small lightweight and the buttons are spaced out perfectly. Really portable

Would recommend work great with iPhone 17 connectivity is easy as fast

Excellent product with its connectivity settings and comfort on the go. I use it for my legion go and phone and works well.

Have been using for about a week with the Legion Tab Gen 5 and the x5s has been perfect for taking on the go. It comes with a carrying case which is great for portability. Initially I found the controller to be a bit small compared to a traditional controller experience, but after a little use it’s grown on me.

Bought one while it was on sale and ended up running back out to Best Buy again the next day to buy one for my brother. I've only tried a few games so far but it's worked flawlessly on all of them that make sense to use a controller: Minecraft, Call of Duty Mobile, Diablo Immortal.

Bluetooth connects fast with out issue. Controls feel good. Mainly used for mobile games. Only thing that would be nice is a spot that a charging for could pass thru so you could charge phone while playing
