GameSir has revealed its latest budget-friendly mobile controller – the X5 Lite. It’s a lightweight and compact gamepad designed to offer reliable performance without breaking the bank. Whether you’re on Android or iOS, the X5 Lite is made to fit snugly, support your long sessions, and give you a comfortable grip without the wrist strain.
Breaking down the X5 Lite
Lightweight design
At just 135.4 grams, the controller won’t weigh you down during long gaming sessions. The design is slim and ergonomic, with textured grips that help keep it steady in your hands—whether you’re lying back on the sofa or squeezing in a quick game on your commute.
Improved analogue sticks
One of the standout features here is GameSir’s use of anti-drift Hall Effect sticks. These give you smoother, more accurate 360° control and are made to last, so you won’t have to worry about your inputs degrading over time. The triggers and buttons use a durable membrane setup with a soft, cushioned feel. That means quieter presses and less finger fatigue during extended gameplay.
Universal support
The controller supports phones from 105 mm to 213 mm wide, and its movable USB-C port ensures a secure fit and ultra-low latency connection on Android. For iOS users, there’s wireless compatibility as well—so you’re covered either way. You can also keep playing while charging, thanks to pass-through charging support.
Top notch customisation
Customisation is another strong point. The X5 Lite offers Turbo functionality for A/B/X/Y, shoulder buttons, and triggers. You can tweak those settings through the GameSir app or make quick adjustments on the fly with button combos. Handy for switching styles between racing games, shooters, or platformers.
It’s available to pre-order now on GameSir’s official website. If you’re after a solid, entry-level mobile controller that balances comfort, control, and price, this one’s worth a look.
