GameSir X3 Type-C Peltier-Cooled Ergonomic Mobile Gaming Controller Now Available

GameSir, a leading provider of innovative, high quality gaming peripherals, is pleased to announce the Amazon availability of its X3 Type-C peltier-cooled mobile gaming controller. Designed specifically for mobile gaming, it aims to ensure that gamers no longer need to make the compromise or decision between a mobile controller or a phone cooler - combining both into one device for a superior performance. The X3 Type-C is available now on Amazon for $99 with a further 20 percent discount available across Prime Day. The X3 will be available on Amazon UK in late July.

Allowing users to have the best of both worlds, the X3 Type-C is a wired controller integrated with an ergonomic phone cooler. This ensures that it delivers a console-like experience whilst ensuring that any overheating issues with phones are solved easily. With a combination of 4000 mm² cooling area, 128 heat transfer columns and 7500RPM 7-blade fan for increased airflow, it can efficiently cool down a phone once the power is connected so that gaming can continue without any delays or problems. The phone cooler can allow up to a 12°C drop in the CPU temperature and 24°C drop in surface temperature and the wired connection maintains a zero-input delay whilst in use.
Designed for pro-level gaming, the device features bumpers, triggers, face buttons and a D-pad that all come with Kailh switches that are resistant to up to 3 million clicks to ensure that there is crisp tactile feedback that feels more advanced than previous mobile gaming device.

The Alps analog thumb sticks also provide smooth and precise 360° control for accurate gaming whilst the ABXY buttons are detachable so can allow for an Xbox and Switch layout swap if desired. The controller can also be customised with various interchangeable parts such as the D-pad, thumb sticks and thumb stick caps so that the experience can be truly personal and lead to an increased chance of success in gameplay - whether a beginner, intermediate or advanced mobile gamer. Featuring a one click option to capture any highlights, it is easy to get an image that can be used to brag to friends.

The X3 Type-C supports nearly all controller-supported Android games as well as multiple popular cloud gaming platforms such as Microsoft's xCloud, Google Stadia, Vortex, Amazon Luna, NVIDIA GeForce Now, Steam Link, and more, allowing it to be compatible with most cloud games and bringing an outstanding experience. The device also fits all mainstream Type-C phones (required length: 110-179 mm) and works on Android 9 or above so is almost universal for all and easy to use. The battery-free design allows it to be more travel-friendly weighing just 270 g as well as eco-friendly meaning that it is ideal for use on the go, on holiday or just on the morning commute.

The X3 Type-C is available now on Amazon for $99 with a further 20 percent discount available across Prime Day. The X3 will be available on Amazon UK in late July.

7500RPM!

Maybe I'd rather strap a Delta fan to my phone?

Peltier?
Uh no thanks. I built a peltier cooler of my own at university in 2000. It did get a Celeron 300a to 564MHz but it wasn't what I'd call efficient*. Every consumer peltier cooler shown off by companies in the last two decades has been a power-hungry, barely-viable disaster that uses so much additional power it's hard to justify even the base concept.

On a portable, battery-powered device? It's like they went out of their way to find the most unsuitable technology they possibly could for a handheld device. The only thing sillier would be a cooler powered by a portable diesel generator.

* There are understatements, and then there is this.

But this one doubles as a jetpack!

Now I'm imaging that you put the phone down after a gaming session and the phone flies off the edge of the table and smashes the screen :D

Tbh thermoelectric cooler is nothing new for the phone, Xiaomi already did this before but this combine it with controller is quite neat I guess.

SOAREVERSORIt's so stupid it's cool!
That should be their official marketing

Except for the part of it that gets really really hot because it's a peltier with a 7.5K RPM Fan. That parts hot.

The only problem is. Mobile gaming is filled with a bunch of micro-transaction. Not worth the squeeze.

Curious as to the reasoning there's been no evaporative cooling devices or attempts at micro-refrigeration using alcohol, acetone, or butane?
TECs, even where 'effective' are the least efficient methods of 'pumping heat'. Seems like the last thing you want to integrate into a handheld battery-powered device.

Because it doesn't require any additives being constantly replaced

TEC's are just throw electricity at me, if you want temporary cooling you go right to LN2

No worries, they have added an 800% Value button on the left side of the controller below the D-pad. If you look closely, the icon is actually a bank statement, and this button is mapped by default to reduce your bank balance by $4.99 per press. Slow cash shop interfaces are sooo yesteryear… GameSir has innovated a main line directly to your dopamine gland.
