The GameSir X5s is a solid budget mobile controller you can also use with the Nintendo Switch 2

A wider look at the GameSir X5s .

If there is one thing you should know about me, it’s that I absolutely adore handheld gaming. I grew up playing my PSP, my Nintendo DS, my PS Vita - yes, I was one of the few people who owned one - and it became one of my favourite ways to game as a kid. I dropped off in my adulthood until I got my hands on some of the best mobile controllers and later my Steam Deck, but I’m always looking for new ways to experience the joys of gaming on the go: enter the GameSir X5s.

The GameSir X5s is the latest portable gaming controller from GameSir that helps guide your grubby fingers away from touch controls and welcomes you into the embrace of handheld gaming. Arriving at a price of $49.99/£49.99, it’s hard to deny that it is one of the cheapest entry points to allow you to play your favourite mobile games, streamed titles, and Switch games - more on that later - from anywhere you like.
