As talked about, the GameSir X5s is designed for use with a wi-fi connection as an alternative of USB-C in its typical handheld mode.

In response to GameSir, you will get between eight and 12 hours of gaming time on a single cost, which is okay however not superb. There are another useful touches, too, like the truth that the controller robotically activates if you prolong it to place a telephone in and turns off if you take your telephone out, snapping again to its default place. You may also manually flip it on and off, in fact, in case you need to use the controller with out your telephone inserted.
The controller additionally helps the GameSir FX5 cooler, which can also be offered individually and admittedly form of foolish, nevertheless it’s an fascinating idea for many who have a tool that heats up.
