Whether it's the console platform or operating system (OS) you use, playing games using Bluetooth controllers does make it addictive.
Not only does it provide the dexterous character controls in the game, but it's also more convenient, easy, and functional in some of the game genres that traditional plays use the keyboard or mouse.
Present as a driver of the G3 series and fourth generation, GameSir G4s promises excellence for those who want to play on Android platform, Windows, and PlayStation 3 (PS3).
Different from previous excitement, GameSir G4s has a better design and quite comfortable when held. The button layout on the controller also changes, vibrate features, and much more.
Curious as to what the Bluetooth controller ability of this Chinese origin company? Without length, here is a brief preview of GameSir G4s which visited the editorial desk of Tekno Liputan6.com.
Fill in the sales box
Just like a child who receives a gift, we are quite happy that the goods directly imported from China finally come to the editor in a safe - though I do a little time.
Inside the box, GameSir only uses the USB charger cable, the manual, and the G4s controller itself of course.
First impression, the controller that has a shape like Xbox sticks is very 'steady' gripped by the handle of sticks made of rubber. At a glance, GameSir G4s looks solid and quality.
It did not take long, we immediately know this G4s and try pairing to existing Android smartphone, that is Moto Z.
The process of pairing was fairly easy and fast. Enough with the "GameSir Home" button located at the bottom center between the left joystick and the D - pad right.
Currently, the Home button light will be on and blinking. This indicates G4s are looking for devices for pairing.
Make sure the Bluetooth feature on your device is on and select "GameSir G4s" from the list of connections that appear. The process of installing a password. Easy is not it?
Having a Bluetooth wireless connection is the most popular choice for gamers, GameSir is in fact a full connection via a USB dongle embedded under the Home button.
With this dongle you can connect GameSir G4s controller to PC or smart TV. Interesting enough, is not it?
Keys and Functions
The layout of the buttons in G4s is a bit different with G3s, but that does not mean there is no similarity. All the standard buttons can be found, including the left and right joystick, D-pad, L1, L2, R1, R2, Y, B, X, A, Clear, Turbo and L3 / R3.
When noted, the button layout in G4s is similar to the button layout commonly used by Xbox controllers, and some other OEM Bluetooth controllers.
You will also see a blue LED light that the battery and the Y, B, X, and A - buttons can turn on. When used to play games on Android, each button feels comfortable and responsive at this time.
Imprison
One of the immediate concerns is the bracket that can be folded in the middle of the controller. This bracket serves to clamp the smartphone in place while playing the game.
Uniquely, this bracket can be used in two different positions, and various types of screen size smartphone. We are on Moto Z which has a 5.5 inch screen size.
When used, smartphones are pinned well and not easy to get off the bracket thanks to the rubber pads that are installed.
The company brand, GameSir G4s can be used on smartphones that have a screen size of 3.5 inches to 6 inches. But unfortunately, the bracket is easily shaken, first time playing racing games.
Battery and Wireless Distance
A variety of wireless controllers, battery life and Bluetooth range are two important points for G4s. As we tested, the power of the fully charged battery of the controller can supply the controller power for up to two and a half hours.
Will, the battery power that exists also with the type of game played, the device distance and the game console used. Normal use, the battery can last up to 16 hours.
With the range of distance between controller and smartphone, the maximum can be connected up to 7 meters.
Experience Wear
As said above, you can pair these G4s in various game platforms and game titles. However, we found some game titles that are already on the market, not all compatible when playing using G4s.
Therefore, GameSir can make Happy Chick and GameSir World emulator applications first to be able to play compatible game titles.
Although the games are compatible with G4s is limited, we deserve games such as Asphalt Xtreme can still be played. It's just that a few times G4s suddenly less resposif and the connection is lost.
We just enjoy playing the classic games via emulator, like Mario, Sonic, Need for Speed, and more.
On PC, some game titles in Steam, like Wolfenstein: The Old Blood and Rise of the Tomb Raider do not detect G4s.
Vibrate Settings and Button Light
One of the exciting features that GameSir presents in G4s is the ability to adjust the vibration and light levels of the LED lights in the buttons. To adjust the vibration level, you simply press Turbo button and direction button up or down.
To adjust the light level of the LED light on the button, you can press L2 + R2 + R3 at the same time and press the up or down direction button.
Conclusion
Overall, GameSir G4s is quite interesting to use. The embedded material controller is not much different from the material for PS4 and Xbox One controllers.
For a Bluetooth controller, G4S is a fantastic controller with unbeatable capabilities and functions.
However, it does not mean the controller made by the Chinese company has no shortage. One of our concerns is the LED lights installed in the controller.
We feel the LED lights for the buttons (A, B, X, and Y) and Home are not very necessary and certainly drain the battery.
Not only that, G4s have limited game titles on Android platform or any PC that can be played using this Bluetooth controller.
Even so, GameSir G4s is worthy of choice for those of you who are looking for Bluetooth controllers to play games on Android, PC, or PS3.
