August 25, 2025
GameSir has announced the launch of the X5s Wireless Mobile Game Controller, a versatile, lightweight device designed for gaming on the go, supporting multiple platforms including Nintendo Switch, Android, iOS, and PC, with global availability starting August 25 at a price of $49.99.
The X5s offers a stylish design with tri-mode connectivity—Bluetooth, USB-C wired, and 2.4GHz wireless (dongle sold separately)—making it compatible with a wide range of devices and supporting device widths from 105mm to 213mm.
This controller bridges the gap between GameSir’s X5 Lite and G8 Plus models, featuring a telescopic design for easy adjustment and portability, along with a protective storage case for travel.
The X5s includes swappable ABXY buttons and turbo support, allowing quick layout changes between Xbox and Switch configurations, along with multiple buttons equipped with turbo functionality for enhanced gaming performance.
It also features the GameHub platform, which provides access to PC emulators, cloud gaming, and game streaming, supporting both controller and touch inputs.
Enhanced with dual HD rumble motors and a 6-axis gyroscope, the controller delivers immersive haptic feedback and native motion control, especially optimized for Nintendo Switch users.
Built for durability and precision, the X5s uses Hall Effect magnetic sensors in its sticks to prevent drift and ensure smooth 360° control, with a lifespan of up to two million cycles, complemented by Hall Effect analog triggers and a dedicated hair trigger mode for rapid response.
The controller weighs only 174 grams, making it highly portable for travel, and includes a durable PP storage case, supporting a wide range of device sizes for versatile use.
The X5s supports multiple connectivity options—Bluetooth, USB-C wired, and 2.4GHz wireless—making it compatible with Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, Android, iOS, and PC, with device support for widths between 105mm and 213mm.
Users can personalize their gaming experience through the GameSir app, which offers firmware updates, dead zone adjustments, vibration tuning, and button testing for optimal performance.
The X5s became available globally on August 25, with purchase options from Amazon, Best Buy, and the GameSir online store, priced at $49.99 in the US and £34.99 in the UK.
