GameSir has launched several controllers this year, with the X3 Pro priced at $63.99 on Amazon as a substitute for the Backbone One. Recently, the company also unveiled the Cyclone 2 worldwide, and we have provided detailed information about it separately.
New Launch: Supernova
The latest offering from GameSir is the Supernova, which at first glance, resembles the Cyclone 2 quite a bit. It features a typical Xbox-style layout and its overall design brings to mind Microsoft's newer first-party controllers. The Supernova stands out by supporting 2.4 GHz wireless connectivity along with wired and Bluetooth options, using Bluetooth 5.3 for the latter.
Features and Specifications
Moreover, the Supernova is equipped with a 1,000 mAh battery and includes a six-axis gyroscope, Hall effect joysticks, and triggers. It also boasts a polling rate of 1 KHz and allows for button remapping, although this does not apply to the Home and M keys on the controller.
Availability and Pricing
In addition, GameSir has incorporated customizable RGB lighting strips that sync with the lights on its charging case. As of now, the Supernova is only available in China, where it sells for CNY 199 (approximately $27). However, there is a good possibility that GameSir will release the Supernova in other regions, similar to many of its wireless controllers.
