It all makes sense: GameSir's bizarrely discontinued TMR controller is being resurrected as an officially licensed Xbox peripheral, but a new 8K polling model is perfect for PC players

A reveal image of the new GameSir Tarantula Series controllers.

It was strange to see one of GameSir's best controllers disappear from the shelves a little after a year from its release, especially when, by all accounts, the GameSir Tarantula Pro had proven popular with critics and customers. But now, it seems it was all for a reason, because the brand had bigger plans for one of its best PC controllers to become a certified Xbox Series X controller.

The GameSir Tarantula Series was announced last week, and it brings three new versions of this pad back from the underworld. Firstly, the GameSir Tarantula Pro for Xbox brings exquisitely comfortable symmetrical design to Microsoft's console; however, a nerf to wired-only play does feel a bit strange. My suspicions are that this was to cement the G7 Pro as the flagship Xbox controller in GameSir's pantheon.
