GameSir Unveils X5s Wireless Mobile Game Controller with Tri-Mode Connectivity

Tri-mode connectivity, Hall Effect sticks, HD rumble, native motion control, and swappable ABXY layouts combine in an ultra-lightweight, travel-ready design for Switch, Android, iOS, and PC gaming

SHENZHEN, China — August 26th, 2025— GameSir, a leading innovator in gaming peripherals, has announced the launch of the X5s Wireless Mobile Game Controller, a high-performance, multi-platform controller that delivers precision engineering and immersive features for gamers on the go. Building on the success of the X5 Lite, the X5s retains its lightweight, travel-friendly design while introducing tri-mode connectivity for broader compatibility, native motion control, dual HD rumble motors, and swappable ABXY layouts. The result is a controller designed to meet the demands of modern gaming, whether at home or on the move. The GameSir X5s is available for $49.99/£49.99 from Amazon US, Amazon UK, Best Buy and the GameSir website.

With Bluetooth, USB-C wired, and 2.4GHz wireless connectivity (dongle sold separately), the X5s works seamlessly across Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, Android, iOS, and PC. Supporting devices between 105–213mm in length, it adapts to a wide variety of smartphones and handheld consoles. At just 174 grams, the X5s is exceptionally portable, and comes complete with a durable PP storage case for protection during travel.

Precision is at the heart of the X5s, thanks to GameSir™ Hall Effect sticks. Using non-contact magnetic sensors, these sticks eliminate the risk of stick drift while delivering ultra-smooth 360° control and an extended lifespan of up to two million cycles. The controller also features Hall Effect analog triggers for accurate, responsive input, enhanced by a dedicated hair trigger mode—activated by pressing M+LT/RT—for rapid response in competitive titles.

Immersion is taken to the next level with dual HD rumble motors embedded in each grip, delivering finely tuned haptic feedback. From the recoil of gunfire to the subtle rumble of an engine, every movement is felt with precision. For Switch users, the integrated 6-axis gyroscope offers native motion control, enabling intuitive aiming, steering, and movement in compatible titles for an even more engaging gameplay experience.

The X5s further enhances versatility with physically swappable ABXY buttons, allowing quick layout changes between Xbox and Switch configurations using the included button clip. Turbo functionality is supported across the A, B, X, Y, LB, RB, LT, and RT buttons, providing an edge in fast-paced gameplay.

Performance-conscious gamers can pair the X5s with the optional FX5 or FX5 Lite thermoelectric coolers (sold separately) to help manage device temperatures during extended sessions. Meanwhile, the included GameHub platform unlocks access to PC emulators, cloud gaming, and game streaming services, with support for both controller and touch inputs.

Personalisation is made easy through the GameSir app, which allows firmware updates, stick and trigger dead zone adjustments, vibration intensity tuning, and button testing—ensuring the X5s performs exactly how each player prefers.

Launching globally on August 25, the GameSir X5s delivers a feature-rich, ultra-portable solution for gamers looking to take full control—anytime, anywhere, on any platform.

The GameSir X5s is available for $49.99/£49.99 from Amazon US, Amazon UK, Best Buy and the GameSir website.
