GameSir X5 Lite Black Controller

Ultra-lightweight (just 135g) and compatible with smartphones from 105 to 213mm, the GameSir X5 Lite features Hall Effect joysticks that prevent annoying drift and an adjustable USB-C port with pass-through charging for sessions with no lag or noticeable latency. Its telescopic ABS chassis and textured grips reduce fatigue during prolonged gaming.

Extendable, ergonomic design

The retractable frame hugs Android phones and the new USB-C-enabled iPhones; it measures 196.7 × 88.3 × 46.2 mm and keeps the centre of gravity balanced in any orientation. Non-slip coating and medium-travel triggers provide a solid grip even during marathon gaming sessions.

Drift-free Hall Sticks

Magnetic Hall sticks eliminate mechanical friction and wear, while the 8-way crosshead offers one-touch diagonal locking. The GameSir app lets you adjust dead zones, swap Xbox/Switch layout and update firmware to get the most out of your controller.

Direct connection, zero lag

By dispensing with Bluetooth, the GameSir X5 Lite transmits uncompressed signal via the GameSir™ Mobile USB-C connector, minimising latency. A second port enables pass-through charging and supports adapters for use with PC, Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch as a wired controller.

Turbo features and customisation

The dedicated button activates configurable Turbo triggering, and buttons can be reassigned from the app. On the downside of the budget price, the membrane triggers feel less firm than on premium models, and there's no vibration or gyroscope.
