GameSir x5 Lite

GameSir x5s

Overview

My first NON Bluetooth mobile controller
My biggest dissapointment in this controller is the non swappable buttons.
In that regard the x5s is superior.
Aside from that and connectivity, this feels and works just like the x5s.
Still the connectivity on this is competely different as it uses Type C USB for power and data.

Pass through charging supported so can stay connected to device and charge the device.
This means we never need to seperate the device to charge it so this is nice.
NO battery
Hall effect sticks
NO 6-axis gyroscope
max device width is 8.39 inches. same as BT version
Press Home button (Chicken logo button) to wake up from sleep mode.
Press and Hold M Button check Mode through chickin color indicator.
Press and Hold chicken and south until chicken flashes yellow rapidly for android mode
Buttons are NOT swappable, like on the Blue tooth version. BUMMER.
Chicken + D-Pad Up and down controls volume in android
