GamerSir started off with a few budget products, but over the last couple of years, has become a surprising competitor in the gaming controller market. Not only are their prices still very competitive, but they’re offering premium gaming features such as Hall Effect sticks, and advanced customisation options. Now with their new Super Nova controller, they’re promising noise-free, responsive controls, with noise-free ABXY buttons and advanced GameSir Hall Effect sensing sticks.
GameSir Super Nova
What’s really cool about this controller is whether you’re playing on PC, Switch, Android, or iOS, the Super Nova’s tri-mode connectivity has you covered, and still offers full customization options, making it a versatile gaming tool. With PC, Switch, Android, and iOS devices via Bluetooth, wired, and wireless dongle connections, I must say that I am impressed.
The key feature many of you look for now, however, is Hall Effect sensing sticks, which are more durable, and don’t suffer from stick drift, ever. There’s a new anti-friction glide ring on each too, to ensure super-smooth stick control, reducing stick grinding and extending usage time further.
There’s also a set of incredibly accurate Hall Effect analogue triggers, with built-in trigger stops, additionally, gamers can activate hair trigger mode using the button combination of M+LT/RT (triggers must be in the long pull position).
There’s even a built-in 6-axis gyroscope, which is brilliant given the high number of devices supported. Additionally, there’s single button mapping and macro recording built-in, making it a bit easier to get a performance edge; or to cheat a bit in some cases.
