But all things considered, its a very generous offering given the relatively low price.
It also has a different D-pad, opting for the four-point approach.
The same is true of the analog sticks, as theres hardly any play in them at all.
But many more tweaks can be made using GameSir Connect, the brands peripheral tool on PC.
To game with, the Super Nova puts in an admirable performance.
Switching between various devices isnt the snappiest, either, although not many are lightning quick in this regard.
It comes with a 2.4GHz USB dongle, as well as a charging base and USB cable.
Other face plates in a variety of colors are also available from GameSir.
It also lacks a rechargeable battery as standard.
However, its considerably more expensive than the Super Nova.
In the hand, the Super Nova feels weighty without being onerous, and the overall construction seems solid.
The triggers are somewhat shallower than on some other controllers.
The two back buttons arent damped, and therefore feel less tactile.
Other customizations can be made in the GameSir mobile app, although this is very limited.
Thankfully, the Super Nova also works with GameSir Connect, the companys peripheral software on PC.
This facilitates many tweaks in addition to those accessible via the M button.
Whats more, there doesnt appear to be any way to save multiple profiles.
GameSir Super Nova review: performance
The overall performance of the Super Nova is very good.
The face buttons are responsive and a joy to use, thanks to their aforementioned dampening.
However, while the same is true of the D-pad, I found this less satisfying to use.
Switching between various devices isnt the quickest either, although many multiplatform controllers arent much quicker.
Should I buy the GameSir Super Nova?
Youll have to part with considerably more cash than you would for the Super Nova, though.
It can often be found for less than its original price, too.
It doesnt come with a rechargeable battery as standard, either.
I used both the 2.4GHz dongle and Bluetooth where I could.
I played a variety of games to test the various aspects of the Super Novas performance.
I have been gaming for decades, and during that time have experienced many different controllers.
I have also reviewed a number of them, including other Hall effect and GameSir models.
