Handheld PC gaming has rather exploded since the launch of the Steam Deck and other Switch-like machines. As someone devoid of such a device, the closest I typically get to this style of portable PC gaming is using Steamlink to stream games to my phone. This is why GameSir's simultaneous controller and mobile gaming app launch announcement caught my attention this morning. After spending some time with the GameHub app, all I can say is I hope the new GameSir X5 Lite gaming controller is much, MUCH better than GameHub.
The dual launch makes sense as the X5 lite is a phone cradle style controller, purpose built to transform a phone into a Switch-style handheld. Despite the decent specs, like Hall effect sticks and membrane triggers, the bad experience of the GameHub app has already tainted my opinion of this controller by association. That or it has to be amazing to help move installs of the app.
