GameSir has dropped their 14th double album and this time, they dropped the ball. The slow response time for both of their newer Nova controllers is so incredibly noticeable, that it ruins the overall experience. That, paired with one of the worst wireless connections I've ever seen (Bluetooth AND 2.4ghz) and a few continuous reliability issues around the ABXY, bumper, and trigger inputs, make it very easy to label the Nova's "mid" at best and "hot ass" at worst. The only saving grace being; the cheap-ness. Thank you guys so much for taking the time out of your day to look into these piles and my video on them. If you enjoyed it, be sure to drop a like and sub if you're new to the channel. I hope to see you in the next one!
