In addition to the rich native mobile games, today's mobile phones can also play classic games on PC, console platforms and even the latest 3A masterpieces through various emulators and cloud games.

GameSir is a well-known domestic game peripheral developer. Over the years, the controller product launched has a good reputation for players. Recently, Gashi Chicken has established a strategic partnership with industry giant Microsoft , and cooperates around the host and cloud gaming ecosystem. In the future, they will explore innovations in peripherals in the field of game control. The GameSir X2 Pro is officially the first Microsoft-authorized mobile game controller in China.
is the first Microsoft-licensed mobile game controller. The GameSir X2 Pro has a classic black and white two-color version, which corresponds to the color matching of this generation's Xbox Series X (black) and Xbox Series S (white). The black version we received uses the same pure black design as the XSX, with a simple and smooth shape. The most eye-catching part of the entire controller is the Xbox Logo in the lower right corner. Even if it appears on a third-party controller, it seems full of faith. In terms of size, the length, width and thickness of the X2 Pro handle are 184mm×84.5mm×37mm, which can be easily placed in pockets and backpacks. The material is lighter, making it very portable.
Randomly included with handle storage package
GameSir X2 Pro adopts the standard asymmetric key architecture of Xbox handles, and has a complete dual joystick, cross direction keys, 4 shoulder keys, ABXY keys. The menu keys, view keys and screenshot keys on the Xbox handle are all retained. The X2 Pro handle has added 2 custom back keys to map other keys on the handle to improve the smoothness of the control. In addition, the controller also supports disassembly and interchange between AB or XY keys. Whether players who are used to the layout of Xbox or Switch keys, they can switch seamlessly through magnetic buttons. The
handle uses an original imported ALPS rocker from Japan. The rocker has a built-in chip and can be automatically calibrated to solve the drift problem. The rocker damping is well tuned, and the feel is much better than the Switch Joy-Con handle. In addition, a set of raised and sunken silicone rocker caps are also provided to meet the control habits of different players. The handle uses Hall linear trigger key, which transmits distance through electromagnetic induction , and transmits data more accurately and can achieve 1mm pressing accuracy. If it is used to play racing games, you can experience more precise throttle control. In terms of installation method of
, the Gaussian Chicken GameSir X2 Pro adopts a stretchable design, and the applicable length of the mobile phone is 110mm~179mm. It is basically compatible with mainstream mobile phones on the market. The handle is directly connected to the phone through the Type-C interface on the right side of the body. The interface adopts the exclusive patented technology of the Geshi Chicken and supports 51° rotation, which is convenient for installing the phone while also protecting the interface. For games with strong competitive performance such as shooting and action, the wired direct connection method can achieve the lowest operation delay and the most stable connection performance.
mobile phones become handheld consoles in seconds, and a large number of games are available for you to play
Players who are familiar with console games should know Microsoft's "Watermelon Pie" (XGP platform). XGP was originally a free game experience service provided by Microsoft for its own XBOX. Later, Microsoft launched the PC version, directly integrating PC games and cloud games into the XGP service.The biggest feature of XGP is that after subscribing to the membership service, players can experience hundreds of Xbox and PC games for free, and many 3A games that cost hundreds of dollars. Players only need to buy an XGP membership to experience it for free. In addition, since Microsoft pays great attention to XGP's game lineup, many game masterpieces may join XGP when they start, which is very cost-effective for game enthusiasts.
With Microsoft's official "endorsement", the GameSir X2 Pro controller of the Ghost Chicken GameSir X2 Pro can directly play Xbox cloud games on Android phones (also support local streaming games). Players don't have to worry about the adaptation of the buttons, and they can play it when they are opened. The X2 Pro controller package comes with a 1-month XGPU membership. With the cloud gaming function of the Xbox Game Pass software, you can run various 3A masterpieces on your phone, including masterpieces such as "Forza: Horizon" and " Gears of War 5". Since cloud game does not run directly on the phone, there is no need to worry about the configuration of the phone, and it is not a problem to display the next-generation picture on the phone screen.
In addition to playing XGP games, we can also experience Switch games such as "Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" and "Legend of Pokémon: Arceus" through the Egg Simulator. There is no need to worry about membership issues. If you purchase GameSir X2 Pro, you will get a 1-year membership in the Egg Simulator, which is equivalent to playing Xbox and Switch games on your phone at the same time.
In terms of actual operation experience, the ergonomic streamlined curved surface on the back of the GameSir X2 Pro grip has a full feel to hold. The anti-slip texture and skin-like coating have a good anti-slip and sweat-proof effect. The control of the rocker and trigger keys is accurate and responsive, and the experience is excellent in shooting and racing games. The flexibility and reaction time are directly improved to a higher level. What I think most practical is two custom back buttons. For example, in " Call of Duty Mobile Game ", the back button on the left can be set to cut the gun, and the side button on the right can be set to manually change the bullet. This setting can free the operating pressure of the thumb, shorten the operation time, and easily complete the killing task.
If you are not interested in Switch or Xbox games, the X2 Pro controller also supports direct direct play of Android native games such as Diablo: Immortality and Asphalt 9. For popular mobile games like " Honor of Kings ", " Peace Elite ", and " Genshin Impact ", you can download the Xiaoji Game World APP on your mobile phone, and perfectly adapt through V-Touch key mapping. When the mobile phone starts the game, the APP will have corresponding operation prompts. With just a simple setting, the handle can be transformed into an upper-segment "artifact".
Summary: Unlock new mobile game poses
In general, the GameSir X2 Pro gamepad is a very sincere product. After all, the one-month XGPU membership and one-year Dandan simulator membership are worth hundreds of yuan. From a design perspective, this controller has the Xbox faith-based appearance design, using replaceable magnetic buttons and an exclusive patented Type-C interface, plug-and-play, and has no delay. The addition of Xbox cloud games has greatly expanded the playability of the controller and enabled the playback of the two major consoles to play popular games on mobile phones. If you are a heavy mobile game enthusiast, then this controller must be suitable for you.
