In-Depth Review of the GameSir G4 Pro Game Controller

Back in the early days of gaming, there weren’t really any controller options. You could use the controller that came with your system, and that was about it. For a traditional console, that can be frustrating, but it’s not downright terrible. After all, the included controller is presumably ergonomic. The same thing isn’t true for smartphones. After all, phones have to perform a variety of functions, and they have to be pocket sized. If your phone were shaped like a game controller, it would be hard to carry and use. Unfortunately, a phone isn’t an ideal shape or configuration for gaming. So why not use an external controller instead?

同时，多年来，第三方控制器一直是PC游戏的主要内容。原因很明显。虽然鼠标和键盘非常适合某些流派，例如策略游戏，但它们并不总是完美的。例如，许多人更喜欢平台或射击游戏的控制器。在这种情况下，您有很多选择。

今天，我们将审查Gamesir G4 Pro。Gamesir专门研究第三方控制者，我们喜欢他们过去的几个产品。结果，我们很高兴早日了解G4 Pro。虽然该控制器仅用于预订，但该控制器计划于12月发货。除非灾难，否则它应该及时到达假期。

但它实际上值得你的钱,还是你take a hard pass? To find out, we’ll need to take a closer look. We’ll talk about the overall design, the grip, and the quality of construction. Next, we’ll talk about the battery and how you connect the controller. Finally, we’ll look at other features, and how the interface works. After that, we’ll know everything we need to know to render our final verdict. Let’s get started!

Design and Durability

TheGameSir G4 Pro具有机翼形式的Xbox风格设计，并配有偏置拇指棒。这些拇指棒设计为符合人体工程学，以便于访问ABXY按钮。不管是这种情况是否只是个人喜好问题。有些人喜欢他们的拇指棍子抵消，有些人喜欢它们的水平，即PlayStation风格。无论如何，就像Xbox控制器一样，有两个拇指棒，一个D-pad和一组ABXY按钮。但是，控制器的中心有其他按钮。除了开始和背部按钮外，还有两个。子弹按钮会激活可自定义的涡轮功能，而Square按钮进行屏幕截图。在下面，有一个鲜红色的电源按钮。

这是设计有点时髦的地方。中心按钮被固定智能手机的翻转支架覆盖。如果您在PC或Nintendo Switch上，则该支架可以降低。但是，对于大多数现代智能手机来说，它的弹簧载荷，填充良好，尺寸完美。您可以在玩游戏时握住手机，而无需将其设置在桌子上并将其支撑在某个地方。如果您喜欢这个概念但不喜欢G4 Pro设计，请考虑Gamesir X2. It’s designed to hold your smartphone like a Switch screen, but it only works with Android phones.

在广告材料中，Gamesir G4 Pro看起来很大而顽强。但是，它实际上有点小，更多的是旧的PlayStation控制器的顺序。如果您有小手，这没什么大不了的。但是，如果您有大量的爪子，您可能会更喜欢更强大的控制器。无论如何，G4 Pro可以握住。手柄涂有橡胶，因此汗水是非问题的。不仅如此，橡胶也相当厚。这使它变得友善而闷热，减少了更长的游戏课程的疲劳。

对控件本身还有一些额外的升级。首先，肩部按钮是铝制而不是塑料。这使得它们不易穿，并且更具耐汗。它们不会腐蚀，我们真的很喜欢他们提供的坚定压力。A，B，X和Y按钮也已升级。不，他们不是金属。但是它们贴有磁铁，而不是固定在情况下。这意味着您可以将它们切换。这样做的主要目的是与Nintendo Switch合作，该开关具有非标准的ABXY配置。

与Gamesir G4 Pro一起，您还将获得一个很小的USB FOB。这旨在连接到您的计算机。还有其他连接方法，我们将在下一节中讨论。也就是说，FOB的消耗比蓝牙芯片少得多。如果您在PC上玩游戏，请不要丢失它。

Power and Connectivity

Gamesir G4 Pro具有800mAh内部电池，可提供约40小时的总充电。这绝对是惊人的，比市场上几乎任何其他控制器都要好。就是说，请记住我们对连接方法的看法。如果您使用USB FOB，您将获得更多。如果您使用蓝牙，则会少一些。此外，很大程度上取决于您正在玩的游戏。如果您正在玩低调的角色扮演游戏，则电池将持续更长的时间。如果您不停地玩Warzone，则可以预期电池寿命相应。另外，如果您使用USB连接，则根本不必担心电池。当然，这意味着您已将其束缚在PC或游戏系统上。

The G4 Pro charges via USB Type-C. A USB Type-C able is included in the kit, but it’s only one meter (about 3.3 feet) long. This can be limiting if you want to play and charge simultaneously. On the other hand, there are plenty of longer cables on the market for cheap. Moreover, the internal battery takes only about an hour to charge. As long as you plug it in every night, it should theoretically never run out of juice.

As we mentioned, there are a few different ways of connecting to your device. The first, and most basic option is a wired USB connection. This has the advantage of not draining your battery. On the downside, you’re tethered to your device, and it only works with a PC. For wider compatibility, you can use the 2.4G wireless fob. Not only does this work with PC, it also works with Android. It draws less battery than Bluetooth, and also offers lower latency. That said, Bluetooth offers you the most versatility. You can connect to a PC, Android device, iOS device, or even a Nintendo Switch. This makes it an excellent choice if you want an alternative controller for the Switch.

如果您喜欢G4 Pro Design，但只需要智能手机控制器，请查看GameSir T4 Pro. It has a similar build, complete with a built-in smartphone bracket. That said, the construction feels a bit light and flimsy in the hand.

功能和功能

因此，除了我们已经过去的基础知识外，Gamesir G4 Pro还能做什么？一方面，它旨在玩苹果街机游戏。它甚至支持MIFI认证的游戏。这意味着您几乎可以使用任何iOS游戏，无论它与苹果“围墙花园”有多紧密。结果，在这方面，G4 Pro站在高于大多数第三方控制器的高位。

In addition to all the buttons, the GameSir G4 Pro has a six-axis internal gyroscope. This allows it to support motion controls, similar to those on the PlayStation 4. Let’s be clear; the G4 Pro won’t work with the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. The gyroscope just works like a PS4 gyroscope. This is mostly useful for Switch games, where motion controls are commonplace. However, it can also be used with smartphone games that rely on a gyroscope.

我们还提到了涡轮按钮。按照Gamesir的说明，需要对此涡轮按钮进行编程。否则，它将无法正常工作。编程后，它将按下按钮每秒数千次。这甚至比老式NES涡轮控制器上的涡轮功能更快！

Finally, the GameSir G4 Pro has a pair of internal motors for driving the vibration function. With a separate motor in each grip, it’s as full-featured as a Switch controller. The different motors can operate with different intensity, creating a realistic, immersive feel. This is by no means out of the ordinary for a quality third-party controller. But it’s certainly good to see that it’s been included.

这么说，如果您想要便携式控制器怎么办？当然，G4 Pro可以容易地放在背包中。但是Gamesir Falcon F4will fit in your pocket. It’s collapsible, so even though it’s easy to carry, it will still fill your hands. On the downside, it only works with smartphones, and can’t be used with a PC or game console.

最终判决

TheGameSir G4 Pro是为现代智能手机设计的彻底功能的游戏控制器。对于PC或Switch播放器来说，这也是一个绝佳的选择。抱歉，Xbox和PlayStation所有者。您需要一个与系统兼容的其他控制器。也就是说，如果您在兼容系统上玩游戏，那么有很多喜欢。首先，智能手机播放器获得了漂亮的手机托架。PC播放器可以选择在有线模式下播放，以实现无限的电池寿命。甚至开关播放器都会获得内部陀螺仪和可重新配置的ABXY按钮。

公平地说，G4 Pro并不完美。最值得注意的是，如果您的手更大，它有点小。但是对于中小手，这很舒服。我们特别感谢橡胶夹。他们不仅具有足够的质感，而且还足以舒适。此外，金属触发器是一个很好的触感，质量比主流控制台控制器更高。最后，屏幕快照按钮是智能手机游戏玩家的额外额外好处。您无需伸出控制器即可抓住屏幕截图！
