The X2s punch in-C is a very square gadget, offering very little contouring to the players hand.
After about 30 minutes of use, my hands started to cramp.
Its the same reason why I barely used the Switch in handheld mode.
The real issue is less about the shape and more about the size.
The X2s feels very small, and my fingers crowd its already busy face.
I had to check the marketing to ensure it wasnt specifically a childs mobile control.
To my surprise, it wasnt.
Unfortunately, I think GameSir got caught up with making a budget-friendly option without considering what that entails.
Theres still no USB-C audio passthrough or 3.5mm jack, a carryover issue from theX2 controller.
Youll either need a wireless headset or restrict playing in public to avoid annoying all around you.
But they didn’t.
I also didnt notice any glaring issues with how the controller worked with streaming Gears 5 and Forza.

Simplicity With Plenty to Offer
The overall design of the X2s is simple.
There are no bells and whistles, and it really relies on that retro styling to appeal to players.
I wish it appealed more to me.

Its just not something I can game on for long.
While I didnt have to customize the assigned prompts, I could have.
As much as I liked G-Touch, its also where the X2s hardware issues are most notable.

Limited Only By Your Gaming Library
GameSir constantly provides an impressive level of support.
(This controller works for iPhone emulator apps like Delta too!)

The limitations begin and end with your gaming library.
I suspect anyone with bigger hands will also have an issue with the X2s overall and button sizes.
Its certainly a fine entry-level option around the house or for travel.
