I noticed some stellar critiques of the GameSir controllers on Reddit and different locations. It appeared pretty good, and paying homage to a Change. I bought it on Amazon and when it arrived, that was when the issues started.
-
It would not activate
-
Charging LED indicator didn’t work more often than not
-
When it may join, it solely lasts for 30 seconds
-
Tried charging it for hours, and now days, with numerous forms of USB C cables (C to C, A to C, totally different adapters)

After charging for hours, once you do pull the cable, it flashes RED on the LED indicator and turns off
I appeared on-line for options, as I actually needed to play on the XCloud from my fold 4.

My concern can also be not distinctive, and seems to be pretty current as of October 2022. There are numerous threads all through Reddit and Fb (HK – in Cantonese, HKers love utilizing Fb).

TLDR: Do not buy the GameSir X2 BT, and in case you may afford it, simply chip out an additional 20 {dollars} and purchase a Nacon.

Which is to say that the product’s internals are just about the identical as Chinese language manufacturers which can be bought primarily to the Chinese language market, however at a big markup to us for a similar high quality. That is the rationale why they’ll do ache free returns and refunds.
