- In today's video, we're looking at the Gamesir X2 Pro. This plug and play android controller (with built-in gamepass support) offers so many high-quality features in a compact, and affordable package. You'll hear me mention some of the pros and cons, as well as my overall thoughts on the Product. Let me know what you guys think of the device down below!

You can actually swap the physical buttons to match the buttons on the app you're running as they are held in by magnets.
Yup! I wish they sold replaceable buttons in the event that you lose one.
I had a Backbone for a couple of days but sent it back for a couple of reasons - 1: The software did not allow you to add your own games. 2: I wanted it as a dedicated system using an extra android phone, but leaving the phone connected drained the battery overnight when not being used. I wonder if case 2 applies to the Gamesir ?
I haven’t noticed the gamesir drain battery but I also haven’t left it on for overnight
Could you please do a setup guide for CODM and gta android version cos it doesnt seem to work for me on my s21
I uninstalled the app because I don’t like how it asks for so many permissions. But you can follow this guide here to set it up: www.gamesir.hk/pages/how-to-play-codm-on-android-with-gamesir-x2
Is it compatible to phones with meditek processor or mediatek dimensity?
More power for your channel
I want to assume yes. The gamsir website has an official list of supported devices but I don’t believe the processor would create too much of a variable. As long as it’s a decent phone it should work. And thank you!
I can't connect wireless debugging on my Pixel 7 Pro. No matter how many times I insert the pair connect, it keeps asking. How did you do it?
There are developer permission you can enable by pressing an option multiple times. I forget what the option was but if you google “how to enable wireless debugging” you should find it
@ hartoMethod Dude I have a pixel 6 too, but how to you emulate cónsules like 3ds, gamecube, playstation etc? I've only been able to play without any problebles gba(no surprise there), ds and psp.
Download the dolphin emulator from their website. You can also get Aethersx2 from the google play store. There are a good amount of tutorials that can help walk you through the process if you get lost during it.
I also have a video coming out very soon about emulation performance on the pixel 6 so you can also watch that for some help!
Why did they swap the usb c?? Previous version is so much better for samsung folds.. ffs.
Need update about the software update.Have you ever experience any issue about some buttons,joystick or triggers not working when updating the software?
No problems on my end
This is better than x3, the cooler on x3 are almost useless, it doesn't had extra button, the L2/R2 is act as clicky not accelerate, also the x3, doesn't had black colours, and the x2 pro button feels better
I’m not a fan of the fan (lol). I don’t really think it’s necessary. The x2 pro seems to be liked by a lot compared to the 1 and 3
@@hartomethod yes including me 😂
Thinking to buy one if it’s really handy with android games.
If you use the gamesir software, it will work with any game. If you don’t use the software, some android games will still work.
Just ordered mine in white myself. Brilliant product and much better than my original X2.
I play codm using this gamepad using mapping its kinda cheat lol, iam on legendary ranks, playing deathmatch its very fun 😂😂😂 my phone xperia 5 mark ii, fyi i had flydigi wee 2t iam actually surprise how good this gamepad compared to flydigi wee 2t.
@@archie7288 Well done young lad! Excellent use of this brilliant gamepad.
@@hartomethoddoes it connect thru the usb c not the blue tooth to eliminate controller lag
I got mine a couple of months ago. I'm really enjoying it, but with my phone (Vivo y55 4G) it takes a long time to connect, sometimes taking like 10 minutes before the connection through usb-c is stable. Once connected, its won't disconnect again. Really strange and I haven't found any comments anywhere from someone else with the same issue
That’s weird it takes that long to connect wired. Do you think maybe it’s related to your phone settings or is it an old phone?
You need either WiFi or 5G connection and you can. Play games from console and play store that are controller friendly can't get button mapping yet tho I've played madden from console if you have disc that disc has to be in the Xbox itself and have your Xbox or PlayStation in sleep mode and set up for console set to game on phones the app itself has games on it that are plug and play it has pass through charging works but isn't fast charging I'm using note 20 ultra 5G
I'm considering buying this one since I have been willing a lot to play my Xbox Game Pass App I got in my Samsung S9.
But I'm very scared of buying it and not work at the app. So I do have to a some question: Do I need to do any kind of process to properly set the controller to play Game Pass games or I just plug the phone in the controller and start playing?
I heard from somebody that I might need to do some process of activating remote play on my console and in the app to do it, so I'm extremely confused.
I'll be very much appreciatted if you can answer :]
This is straight plug and play. No app needed. Also I don’t recall having to set up remote play on anything but again, I game-streamed from the x cloud servers. If you want to stream from your own console there may be a setting to enable but it shouldn’t be complicated at all. I’d highly recommend this controller!
What app would you recommend for button mapping coz the native gamesir apps requires a lot of permission? Thank you
I haven’t found an app that works as a work-around for button mapping.
@@hartomethod i see but would you recommend the x2 pro and it's software?
I’d recommend the x2 pro. As far as its software goes… I’ve seen people use it and I’ve seen people try to avoid it. If you plan on using button mapping, I’d use another controller brand like razer or backbone
I don't have an XBox anymore but would you recommend this over the Playstation Backbone? Honestly I just wanna use it to play Honkai Star Rail, COD Mobile & Wuthering Waves..I don't want to get the G8 model tho
I think the backbone has grown more on me than the gamesir x2 pro tbh
@@hartomethod I've had the backbone for a while & I needed something new, besides idk what's up with backbone quality lately
You guys should check out bsp d8 pro
Can you play gamepass without having to use the controllers gamesir app. Im just looking at controllers that are plug and play.
Yeah, gamepass is plug and play, no gamesir app needed
so I keep getting an error saying something went wrong everytime I try to download the app, this is scanning to code, also if I just search on google play I cant find the app, any idea whats the problem ?
I haven’t experienced this issue. And this is specifically with the gamesir app right? Not any other apps? If it’s just the gamesir app then maybe send them an email. I believe they have a customer service line
I can't use my gamepad for the games that dont have controller support even i have successfully mapped the buttons.. I already enabled Usb debugging and wireless debug to activate to V-touch mode.. it seemed that the issue is with the V touch mode.. I hope you can help me. Thanks!
That’s weird. You launched the games through the app as well? Attached a guide, hope it helps! www.gamesir.hk/pages/how-to-play-codm-on-android-with-gamesir-x2
I shaved that rubber or grip or whatever you want to call it that the phone bottoms out on when you plug it into the phone down a little bit so I can keep my case on my phone It works perfect lol
That’s smart!
Please how well does it work with codm?
If you're to compare with ps4 controller for codm, is this better?
Also how it the aim assist.
It works fairly well with codm. I Bluetooth controller will work and feel better.
This controller maps to the touchscreen controls so it’s not as fluid as a Bluetooth controller (which does not mimic touch screen). I haven’t tried aim assist on Bluetooth but I’d guess it’s similar
@@hartomethod thank you so much.
I've done a lot to this. Trying to get it to connect to my Android. It doesn't work. Keypad says it's working I've gone from both choices Xbox and the other. I've had this for several years now it's never worked
Did you check the website for compatibility to your android phone? It should be plug and play so I can’t think of any other reason it wouldn’t work
Which emulator app did you use for mario kart?
Dolphin
basic question. I have s24 ultra. I never played a game on phone or tv etc. Can this device is useful if I download a free game from android playstore and use this device to play?
Yes
Is the GameSir X2 Pro-Xbox Mobile Game Controller【Officially Licensed by Xbox】better than the GameSir G8 Galileo Mobile Gaming Controller?
I don’t have the G8 but I feel like that would be better
do you have a tutorial to activate key map overlay?
I don’t. In the gamesir menu button there’s a key mapper they automatically assigns your screen based on the game you’re playing. But like I mentioned I uninstalled the app because I wasn’t a fan
Harto i have seen a couple of ur vids n i can see u are experienced so i woild like to ask whats the best laptop for School and gaming for the price with 1500-1700
That’s a great price range for something great. What size laptop are you looking for? There are a few options I can recommend for 14inch but also some that are slightly bigger.
@@hartomethod I would like a size range between 15-17 inch if possible
I’d take a look at the ASUS ROG strip scar. It’s more focused on gaming but it will handle school work no problem. The only issue you’re going to run into with “most” of these gaming laptops is that they don’t have the best battery life. If you’re gonna be doing school remotely and moving a lot, you’ll need to most likely plug into an outlet (just something to consider).
You can also go a little cheaper and check out the ASUS tuff brand laptops. These have some good specs on them depending on what you want.
If you want something small the ASUS ROG Zephyrus line. They have a 14 and 15 inch version.
Is gamesir x2 pro is compatible with yuzu emulator now ??
Because I have seen a old video where it shows it was not compatible.
If not then is there a work around of it ?.
I haven’t tried this with yuzu but I dont see why not. It works with other emulators
Thanks for the response
Can you please check it once.
The reason for not supporting is because x2 pro for yuzu was it is Xbox licence so yuzu is not detecting the controller.
Please if possible can you try to check it once ?
Shame about not fitting a phone with a case though. Id hate to remove/put back if i do use it...are there any other controllers that are ok with a case?
Yeah I find it kind of annoying to remove. There isn’t a controller that I know of where you can use while having a case on. One work around could be having a Usbc extender
@@hartomethod i was reading that some people "shave down" the area where the USC plug in is, so a phone case could fit. I dont own one but Im assuming theres like a rubber piece to protect the phone, but since if you can make the case fit, it shouldnt matter.
Yeah it will depend on the case you have. I personally rather just take it out of the case than alter the controller itself but that’s up to the user!
@@hartomethod take a look at gamevice flex. It is sold-out everywhere, though
@@sebastianlopezgarsco1420I was looking into the Gamevice Flex, but from what I've been reading it appears they were bought out or went out of business. It's been out of stock for months now. Their app was also removed from app store and those that have it say it hasn't been updated.
I got mine yesterday 😊
Nice, how do you like it?
I got mine today. I hate the short tiny grips. Also I wish the right analog stick was swapped in place of the 4 buttons. I find it hard to reindex after button presses.
Where did you guys buy it from? Official store link??
thanks for the review! i got the x2 pro ... but had to send it back, even when the hardware quality feels really premium and the extra accesories are very nice, i didn't feel ok giving all those permissions to the gamesir app just to remap when other apps do the same without that hassle and the huge turndow was the passtrough charge didn't work fully for my phone, it gave charge, but the controller became unusable, also another problem whas when i tried to calibrate the device as the instructions says, i lost the use of the left trigger, and had to look on internet how to enable it again, and seems thats a common problem with this device, i really wanted to like it but, again, even when the hardware is great, it feel bad having all these problems since day 1, probably will get a razer kishi v2 instead
I understand and agree. I really don’t like the permission side and I also almost bought the kishi as well. I held on to the gamesir because I mostly play emulators or gamepass streaming and it works via no app for those. If you do get the kishi let me know how you like it compared to the gamesir!
The gamevice flex is a great option as well if its available in stock
I’ll have to look into this!
Issue is its not available anywhere
Do you happen to have one?
@@hartomethod i was able to secure one with a friend that travelled to the US and brought it to me, ordered from Amazon. I had the regular X2 before (not the pro), great controller as well but having to remove the case was a little annoying because it would mess with my screen protector when i had to put the case back
Yeah I wish they had a Usbc extender so you can keep the case on
Hey, love the review, im trying to order it from the official website but im scared they wont deliver it, do you think its reliable to order it from the website?
I think they’d deliver it. If you want to be more cautious then I’d recommend Amazon
@@hartomethod Amazon is $80 + $13 for shipment + $72 estimated import charges whereas the Gamesir website is $60 + $15 shipment...
@@hartomethod The thing is.. Amazon is pricey lol, compared to the official website
Then I’d do official website
Hey this is a great review, Im thinking of picking this up to game on my phone but thing is that my phone is a 21:9 phone so its tall but not very wide so not a big viewing experience lol
What phone do you have? I’m pretty sure it’ll still fit but yeah it might just be a smaller screen to look at lol
@@hartomethod it's an Xperia 1 iv. It'll definitely fit I just don't know if it will be a great gaming experience due to the screen being so narrow
Can we use usb-c to 3.5mm dongle with this controller?
I haven’t tried! I don’t own a Usb-c to 3.5 dongle
How do you get V touch mode enabled, mine just says key mapping not supported yet. Its all updated and i have no instructions on how to enable v touch
Did you use the gamesir app? There are some direction included with the controller that walk you through it. You have to enable it in the settings.
@@hartomethod yeah, I thought I replied to my comment with the solution. But I was using the Google play version, I didn't realize there was a small "Download for Android" link. I got it all setup but for some reason the bindings don't work on codm. Set my buttons , joysticks, and everything, but no response
There should be a community made binding option for codm that you can set in the settings
@@hartomethodHi sir, i have enabled the usb debugging and wireless debug to activate the mapping.. but it seemed not to work ingame.. the buttons did not respond at all..
@@hartomethodI dont have any problem with the games that support controller.. when using v touch, I can map the all the buttons but when i tried to use it nothing happened.. i hope you can help me
Bro I am going to buy gamesir x2 pro, but my phone 📱 is xiaomi mi 10 t pro, I can't find any information about it, my phone support this gamesir x2 pro or not?? If you help me as soon as possible, I will be so happy, thanks
I’m not sure. I think it would help. I’d recommend buying through Amazon so you can return it if it doesn’t work.
I love this controller I got it a couple of weeks ago and I can finally stop using my touchscreen
Very comfy to use
@@hartomethod yes it is, I enjoy playing my Xbox game pass while at work the only bad thing is that it's difficult disconnecting my phone I'm always afraid I'm about to break the USB not my phone.
Perfect use for it. Yeah the disconnection is kinda weird. I usually expand the controller, then just tilt my phone out then pull
@@hartomethod Have you tried the new gamesir g8 absolutely perfect I just received mines, it has an amazing handle I got it in case I break my x2 pro if u ever buy it make a video.
I hope you are okay and happy holidays.
Will my phone Xiaomi Poco x3 pro work with gamesir x2 pro ? thanks ..
I’m not sure. You can check their website for a list of compatible devices
Is any switch emulator working with this controller? I just bought one and I hope that I don't have to return it
From my experience all emulators pick up the controllers input. I haven’t tried switch but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work
Hi, can i ask how to turn on the controller? I kinda have a hard time figuring out
It should turn on by just plugging it in
Ahh i see, but does the X2 Pro have a mapping system? Still having a hard time finding it.
Yeah you map but holding the map button and then taping the back button you want to map to
Could we play the latest version of BGMI with this controller ?
Yeah! You might need to use the gamesir app to map the on screen controls but it’s definitely possible
Does anyone know if the Gamesir X2 pro is compatible with the Redmi 10 2022 ? (Not the note version)
I’m not entirely sure. The website does have a list of supported devices but from I’ve seen, “most” Usbc phones are supported as long as it fits in the controller.
@@hartomethod yeah I know. I already tried the razer kishi and this didn't work, that's why I am concerned. The controller worked fine but the passthrought charging didn't.
If it’s the pass through charging you want then this might not work either. You can charge it but you can’t use it while charging it.
@@hartomethod on thanks for your reply:)
I have one and it has done nothing but make me mad. When playing call of duty mobile the sensitivity is super high. I dropped it down to 8 in the app and it is still uncontrollable.
Have you adjusted it in both the gamesir app and on call of duty? The analog stick for this is more mimicking and finger drag rather than an actual analog stick
Compatible on black shark 4 pro?
Should be
Can this be used to play emulators on the android
Yes. I have a video coming out soon on this.
@@hartomethodcan I play this on the go without wifi
Can I use this gamepad to play pokemon on the 3ds emulator for android??

Hello i would like to play call of duty With the gamesir x2 pro but the application tells me That it does not support the game can you hello me please
Are you using the gamesir app?
@@hartomethod I use the gamesir application on Google store why

Use the instructions that come with the gamesir. You have to launch call of duty through the gamesir app
Is it compatible with the S23 ultra ?
They made THE perfect phone controller and still launched a new one with changes that NOBODY asked for and for some reason didn't make the X2 Pro compatible with USB C type iPhones.
I didn’t know about the iPhone 15. You can’t use it on there??
@@hartomethod No, they don't want to update it because they just released the G8 Galileo
That sucks big time
So go with the G8 I have a note 20 ultra and I play COD & madden can I remote play that on g8 for Xbox one?
@@cwebb82627 Yes but imo the X2 Pro is way better, it all depends on your preferences
Be careful with your phone's depth. My phone is 9.7mm deep and it doesn't fit the controller, even thouhgh the website says devices with a depth up to 12mm will fit.
Good note
Gamesir x2 pro or Galileo g8?
I haven’t used the Galileo yet!
its better than the backbone, it has paddle buttons, the GameSir G8 Galileo is better i think, the controller ergo's look more like a normal controller than this, i wanna use this for streaming gamepass steam and ps5
Nice!
Any good to play fifa on?
I haven’t tried. Do you mean through gamepass?
I have one, useless piece of plastic. It's compatible with my Honor 10, but if the battery is above 20% my phone does not recognize the device as a controller. I tried everything, debug permissions, etc...and I'm not the only one having this issue. Steer clear fellas...
Wasn’t that bad for me
Redmagic took this as it is and slaped their logo on it and name red shadow blade 85$
And i ordered it 😅
Oh wow it’s the exact same thing lol. Where did you see it for $85? I see it on Amazon for $100
@@hartomethod redmagic offical website
Oh nice! Does it also have its own custom firmware it wants you to install?
I would agree with this if the damn thing didn't die after only one use which is what happened with mine.
Did you return it?
No, I got it as a late gift@@hartomethod
Every Time I Play It Keep Disconnecting Every 20 Minutes Not A Big Problem But Still Quite Annoying
That’s weird. The ports on both ends are clean?
@hartomethod yup and it is not my phone cuz I upgraded my phone to work it
Are you using the app with it? I’d maybe contact gamesir
@hartomethod no because the app keeps logging me out randomly 💀
Maybe contact their support because that’s weird
I just want silent buttons
No usb connection
Only usb-c
this or backbone ?
I think this is more comfortable but the backbone seems to support more devices and the software that comes with it is way less sketchy
can i play game like gta SA, GRID, genshin, without mapping? ii hate mapping except emulator
Native apps with controller support should work out of the box. If the games only have on screen controls then you’ll have to use the application to map them
Too bad there is no headphone jack wuth Bluetooth earphones there will be latency
Yeah the headphone jack portion is unfortunate. I did use Bluetooth headphones tho and they sounded good!
I think that's the main downside to this device. Not sure if there's a way to avoid removing the case which also sucks.
How do you adjust the joystick sensitivity?
You can do so in the gamesir app or via any game settings. Emulators for example have controller settings you can apply
