GameSir, an emerging gaming controller manufacturer, has become immensely popular within a short period, competing with top brands due to its unique design and competitive pricing. So far, the only problem with GameSir controllers was the lack of official Xbox support.

That, too, is now a thing of the past, with GameSir launching two new controllers officially licensed for Xbox:KaleidandKaleid Flux!

Both the controllers feature GameSir’s conventional transparent design. However, whileKaleidhas RBG LED lighting, theKaleid Fluxmodel features toned-down golden lights. You can always customize the lights using theGameSir Nexusapp, which is available for download from theMicrosoft Store.

One of the key features I personally like about new Xbox-compatible GameSir controllers is the anti-driftHall Effective Sticks. This ensures a smoother gameplay for a longer period. Besides, with zero contact between the moving components, the wear and tear is minimal, thus enhancing the controller’s lifespan!

The two controllers are similar in most aspects, but a few key specifications set them apart, which also results in different pricing. For instance, whileGameSir Kaleidhas a standard PCB pattern, theFluxmodel features a Damascus pattern, according toThe Gadgeteer. Also,KaleidusesMicroswitchas the button type, whileKaleid FluxhasMembranebuttons.

The only downside I see to these GameSir controllers is the wired functioning. That’s a major hindrance in the mass popularity of these cost-effective and performance-oriented controllers. It’s time GameSir releases one with wireless capabilities!

As for the pricing, the controllers won’t burn a hole in your pocket. These are just as competitively priced. While theGameSir Kaleidwill cost you$49.99, theGameSir Kaleid Fluxis slightly cheaper at$46.99!

The two controllers are also available onAmazonat the same price. Here’s the direct link:

GameSir’s offerings make it to our list oftop gaming controllers, and newly released ones, officially licensed for Xbox, should soon be amongst the top entries!
