GameSir Super Nova: A cross platform gaming controller

The GameSir Super Nova is one incredible controller. It features customization, RGB, Hall Effect joysticks and triggers, a start-stop charging station, and so much more. I think you just found your next favorite controller.

If you’re anything like me, and I’m willing to bet many of you are a lot like me, then you find yourself wishing you could stick with one gaming controller. What I mean by that is that I play games across a variety of platforms, including PC, my Steam Deck, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and sometimes even mobile. Yes, I know, the dreaded mobile games. But the point is I bounce around a lot. I often find myself lamenting about the changing controls and the feels of those controls between platforms. It would be nice to have a controller I can take with me between those platforms. The GameSir Super Nova is a gaming controller that’s poised to offer just that. It works with PC, Switch, Android and iOS, with a fully customizable setup and lots of incredible features.

Let’s start with the most promising. It features Hall Effect joysticks, rated for a lifespan of 5 million cycles. That’s going to last you a while and stay accurate. Moreover, anti-friction glide rings ensure smooth, precise movements. The triggers are Hall Effect, too, with adjustable trigger stops, a built-in calibration system, and a hair-trigger mode enabling faster reactions. Various customization options allow you to change out the ABXY button layout, adjust RGB light strips, swap out a detachable face plate, and set up a macro for two custom back buttons. Plus, the rubber-coated texturized grips feel fantastic in your hands and help fend off sweaty messes.

Beyond all of that, an auto-start-stop charging station manages the battery life. The 1000mAh battery automatically charges when docked, so the controller is always ready for you. GameSir’s Connect app delivers firmware updates, control adjustments, vibration customization and much more. As far as connections, you get support for Bluetooth, wired, and a wireless dongle. This thing is incredibly decked out and I cannot wait to use it, personally.
