Also called the Nova Pro this $50 roller offers a ton of value although I still prefer the G7 Pro for $30 more.

About This Video

In this review I put the GameSir Super Nova (aka the “Nova Pro”) through my usual real-world testing: unboxing, accessories, comfort, D-pad/face buttons, bumpers/triggers, rear buttons, software, and then the nerdy stuff like polling rate and input delay. GameSir’s lineup is still oversaturated as hell, but this controller feels like they actually listened to all the controller-head feedback and fixed a lot of the usual budget-controller nonsense. For around $50, you’re getting tri-mode connectivity (Bluetooth, 2.4GHz dongle, and wired), Hall effect sticks and triggers, gyro, RGB, and a charging dock if you spend the extra $5—which you should. My main gripes are pretty clear: the bumpers are those tiny mushy Switch-style bumpers I can’t stand, the face buttons look cheap (and they’re membrane), and the trigger stops don’t turn into a mouse-click—it's just a physical block. Biggest headache? I couldn’t get the recommended GameSir software/app working with this controller, even after trying multiple ways to connect. On the plus side, the sticks felt good, the rear buttons are comfy and low-profile, the magnetic face plates are sick for changing the look, and I confirmed you’re basically hitting that 1000Hz performance both wired and on the dongle. Verdict: this is the best budget-friendly GameSir controller I’ve tested, but if you want the more premium experience, I still prefer the G7 Pro Wireless (even though it’s more money).
