GameSir's Tegenaria Lite controller gets a wireless edition with Huawei's NearLink technology

It has been more than a year since GameSir released the Tegenaria Lite wired controller. First released in China as the Spirit Fox, the controller, which has symmetrical thumbsticks like PlayStation controllers, launched globally for just $19.99 (available on Amazon), making it one of GameSir's cheapest controllers. Now, GameSir has launched a wireless version that is sold as the Spirit Fox Wireless controller.

The Spirit Fox Wireless Controller looks a lot like its wired sibling. It has symmetrical thumbsticks and an identical button placement. However, instead of Hall Effect sticks, the controller uses custom JS13 Pro TMR sticks. It also has a 12-bit ADC chip and a 2,000Hz polling rate. There are no additional bumpers, but the triggers have dual-mode support (micro-switch and Hall Effect analog).

Although the controller has a cross D-pad, GameSir says users can attach a circular disc-shaped keycap that transforms it to an 8-way D-pad. The Spirit Fox wireless controller also has two back buttons, a six-axis gyroscope, and a 1,000mAh battery. The controller is compatible with PC, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and Android devices. It comes with a dongle that uses NearLink/Starflash wireless technology, but also supports Bluetooth, and USB-C wired connections.

The GameSir Spirit Fox Wireless Controller is available in two colors. There's a standard edition that has an off-white front shell, green buttons and thumbsticks, and a translucent green back shell. There's also a Hatsune Miku edition that is pink but has blue thumbsticks and shoulder buttons. It is also adorned with graffiti.

The GameSir Spirit Fox Wireless Controller is available to pre-order on JD.com and Tmall. The price for the standard version hasn't been revealed yet, but it should be cheaper than the Hatsune Miku version which costs CNY 299 (~$45/€44). We expect the GameSir Spirit Fox wireless controller will be available in the future in other markets as the Teganaria Lite Wireless Controller, but how soon that will happen remains unknown.
