GameSir X3 Pro released with Hall effect joysticks as Backbone One smartphone game controller rival
GameSir is on a run of announcing new controllers, having presented the G7 HE in August, the T7 in September and the Tarantula Pro earlier this week. Now, RetroHandhelds has noticed a new telescopic controller release that is already available on Amazon US.
For context, GameSir announced the X3 Pro over the summer in China. As far as we can tell, the controller remains unchanged for its global release. Thus, it features Hall effect joysticks that GameSir rates for up to five million cycles. On top of that, the X3 Pro has a customisable d-pad that is held in by magnets and micro switches that are said to deliver 'an e-sports feel with clicky sounds and responsive feedback' for a 'professional gaming experience'.
Moreover, the controller also sports Turbo functionality when needed. Furthermore, GameSir has integrated a six-axis gyroscope, dual rumble motors and a secondary USB Type-C port for charging your phone while gaming. To that end, GameSir has included a 900 mm² cooling plate too that it claims delivers up to 12 W of cooling power under full load.
As as well as that, the X3 Pro supports removable grips for additional comfort. Currently, the telescopic controller is available on Amazon for $63.99 as a 'Prime Exclusive Deal'. Alternatively, the GameSir X3 Pro can be picked up for $79.99 if you do not have an Amazon Prime account.
