Review on GameSir G4 Controller Removable Screenshot by Edward Gordon

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fantastic and versatile controller

I needed a new controller for my PC and I chose the GameSir controller. I got what I wanted and more! This controller is feature-packed: it has vibration, gyroscope, and Bluetooth support (also comes with a USB app for connecting to a non-Bluetooth PC). It can also connect to mobile devices and Nintendo Switch, making this controller so versatile and also a worthy replacement for the pro controller. The ABXY buttons are detachable (held in place by powerful magnets) and can be placed anywhere, so the buttons don't appear upside down when playing Switch games. You can even arrange the ABXY keys in a nonsensical order if you like! For mobile devices, there is a case that can hold your phone in place while you play, although you may need to remove your phone case to fit it. This controller isn't perfect and there are several reasons I'm docking a star. The right trigger button on my controller sometimes gets stuck and performs unwanted actions, and the d-pad is too soft to play 2D games comfortably. And while they do their job, the bumper knobs feel a little cheap, too. The pros far outweigh the cons, especially considering the price. If you're looking for an all-in-one PC, Switch, and mobile controller (or just a cheaper alternative to the Switch Pro controller), this one is definitely worth considering.
