GameSir has introduced the X5 Lite, a compact mobile controller aimed at entry-level gamers, along with GameHub, a new free platform designed to bring mobile and desktop gaming closer together. The X5 Lite is priced at $34.99/£34.99 and comes in Black and Wasabi finishes, available now via Amazon in the US, UK, and Canada, or directly from the GameSir website.
X5 Lite: A Handy Sidekick for Mobile Gaming
Weighing just 135.4g, the X5 Lite strikes a balance between portability and performance. It includes Hall Effect analog sticks that offer 360° precision and resist long-term wear, plus membrane triggers and buttons that are quieter than your average arcade cabinet, without feeling mushy.
The controller features a built-in Turbo mode for rapid tapping, pass-through charging for long play sessions, and customization options via the GameSir app. Its adjustable design supports devices from 105mm to 213mm in length, using a movable USB-C port for a snug fit and low-latency wired connection. It’s compatible with recent iPhones, iPad mini models, and Android phones.
The grip texture? Laser-engraved for better control. The style? Somewhere between minimalist gadget and retro handheld. The vibe? No-nonsense with just enough flair.
GameHub: One Library, Two Worlds
GameHub is GameSir’s free software platform that supports both cloud gaming and game streaming, allowing users to access PC titles on Android devices. By minimizing input lag and supporting a wide range of genres, GameHub helps players jump from desktop to mobile without juggling installs or accounts.
The interface is built for landscape use and works well with mobile controllers. It includes a social layer for chatting and sharing highlights and supports direct streaming of Windows games to Android phones. No need to haul a gaming laptop, your phone and controller can handle it.
Availability
The X5 Lite is available now in Black and Wasabi colorways at $34.99/£34.99 from Amazon or the GameSir website. GameHub can be downloaded from GameHub for free, giving players a flexible option for cloud and remote gaming on Android.
If you’re looking for an affordable way to get more out of mobile gaming, without mashing virtual buttons on glass, GameSir’s latest gear might be worth a closer look.
