The GameSir Super Nova gaming controller is compatible with your PC, Nintendo Switch, and iOS or Android smartphone or tablet. It connects in one of three ways: wireless Bluetooth, wireless 2.4GHz, and wired via USB Type-C. For the best performance, stick with wired or wireless 2.4GHz, which both boast ultra-low latency with 1000Hz polling rate.
Unlike most standard controllers (including first party ones), the GameSir Super Nova is equipped with Hall Effect joysticks and triggers to eliminate the dreaded stick drift. The thumbsticks also include anti-friction rings and the triggers offer two choices of travel length (short and long) with the flick of a switch. The back buttons are programmable and the ABXY layout can be swapped around to your liking. The controller contains a 1,000mAh battery (although no battery life estimate is given). The included dock has pogo pins so you don’t need to fumble around to plug in the controller.
Other features include silent membrane buttons so you can play late at night without waking anyone, rubberized grips, detachable faceplates, RGB lighting, adjustable dual vibration motors, 6-axis gyroscope, and dead zone adjustments.
