GameSir has garnered our respect for producing gaming controllers that incorporate advanced technology that enhances their responsiveness and durability while being sold at lower prices than its competitors.
One of GameSir's finest examples that's a joy to use is the Super Nova Wireless Gaming Controller, which is currently having its $59.99 MSRP slashed by 33% for $39.99 at Amazon.
Why buy the GameSir Super Nova?
For a controller normally priced at $59.99, it for sure lives up to its name of being a "Super Nova" because its tech blows other similar-priced PC gaming controllers out of the water.
The GameSir Super Nova features a polling rate of 1000Hz on PC to greatly enhance its control's responsiveness and allow the player to pull off complicated combo attacks in action games like Monster Hunter with greater ease, with little to no input latency.
These responsive controls also apply to its triggers and analog sticks, which have been upgraded with Hall Effect sensors to increase their input accuracy, durability, and prevent "Stick Drift" so your character doesn't wander off without your input.
Other cool features of the GameSir Super Nova include two extra remappable buttons, wired/Bluetooth/2.4GHz wireless connectivity, swappable faceplates, a 6-axis gyroscope for motion control gaming, a sturdy yet lightweight build, ergonomic grips that are comfy to hold, and a battery life of 15 hours before needing to recharge with its included charging dock.
The only real downside of this controller, aside from not being compatible with Xbox, is that its GameSir Connect software app can be a bit of a pain to connect to wirelessly. But once you do (or use a wired connection for guaranteed success), it functions perfectly and will allow you to adjust its analog stick dead zones, rumble vibrations, and more.
So, if you're a PC, mobile, or Nintendo Switch player looking for a premium-grade controller that won't set you over a hundred dollars, then we highly recommend the GameSir Super Nova, as this $39.99 discounted price at Amazon is an insanely good deal.
