GameSir Kaleid Flux Controller
Hey everyone, I wanted to share a quick review of the GameSir Kaleid and Kaleid Flux Controllers, the new ones licensed by Xbox. They work with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One X|S, Windows 10/11, and Steam. The transparent casing is pretty neat, showing off the internal PCB pattern and giving the controllers a different look. The only difference between the two models is the PCB design and the ABXY buttons: the Kaleid has microswitch buttons, while the Flux uses membrane buttons.
They come with some cool features. There are four motors (two in the grips and two in the triggers) to deliver realistic vibrations, making impacts and gunshots feel more immersive. Hall Effect sticks, a constant in GameSir controllers, which is always good, along with Hall Effect analog triggers. Two macro back buttons are available for quick actions, and there's a turbo function.
The controllers can be customized with the GameSir Nexus software. You can adjust button mapping, stick and trigger settings, vibration levels, and light effects. The controllers also offers four light effects with adjustable brightness, which is kinda cool if you like personalization. The feel is really good, with the shape of an Xbox controller and the materials feeling of good quality. The connection is via an included 2-meter Type-C cable. The port is not very comfortable to use, but I guess it is to protect the cable.
Overall, they offer a good mix of style, precision, and customization. Both are priced at 65.99 euros in the US. Anyone else have it? What are your thoughts?
