The Supernova is GameSir's latest wireless controller. Sporting many customisation options, the GameSir Supernova also has Hall effect joysticks and triggers, swappable ABXY buttons and a dedicated charging dock.

GameSir has released various controllers this year, including the X3 Pro (curr. $63.99 on Amazon) as an alternative to the Backbone One. Most recently, the company introduced the Cyclone 2 globally, full details of which we have covered separately.

Now, it has presented the Supernova, which looks a fair bit like the Cyclone 2 at first glance. For example, the Supernova sports a standard Xbox layout as well as a overall design that is reminiscent of Microsoft's recent first-party controllers. However, the Supernova supports 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity, as well as wired and Bluetooth, the latter via Bluetooth 5.3.

Additionally, Gamesir has installed a 1,000 mAh battery and a six-axis gyroscope, Hall effect joysticks and triggers. Moreover, the Supernova also features a 1 KHz polling rate and re-mappable buttons. Please note the latter does not extend to the controller's Home and M keys.

Meanwhile, GameSir has included configurable RGB lighting strips that match the lighting on its charging case. Currently, the Supernova is exclusive to China, where it retails for CNY 199 (~$27). There is every chance that GameSir offers the Supernova in other markets though, as with many of its wireless controllers.
