GameSir Nova Vision launches with built-in screen and Switch 2 support

GameSir is expanding its controller lineup with the global launch of the Nova Vision, a new gamepad that puts a built-in display at the center of its design. The controller first appeared in China before making its way to international markets, where it is available in two standard colors and a special edition inspired by Nioh 3.

Unlike conventional gamepads that rely on a phone app or desktop utility for configuration, the Nova Vision lets players access settings directly through its integrated screen. GameSir's custom Vision OS handles on-controller adjustments, including configuration changes and battery monitoring. The companion GameSir mobile app and GameSir Connect software remain available for more extensive customization, although uploading personal wallpapers for the display requires one of these external tools.

The controller uses GameSir Hall Effect thumbsticks rather than the TMR technology found in the company's G7 Pro series. Players can adjust stick tension to suit their preferences, while the triggers offer another customization option: they can switch between Hall Effect analog operation and micro-switch inputs. The remaining controls include membrane ABXY buttons and a tactile-switch D-pad.

Connectivity is equally flexible, with wireless, Bluetooth, and wired modes supported. Other features include two rear buttons, a six-axis gyroscope, dual asymmetric vibration motors, and a 1,000Hz polling rate. Its 1,000mAh battery can be recharged through USB-C or the included charging dock.

GameSir lists compatibility with PC, Android devices, and both the original Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, including support for waking the consoles. The standard black and white versions cost $54.99 (approximately €69.99 / £59.99), while the Nioh 3 edition raises the price to $64.99 (around €74.99 / £69.99). All three models are available for pre-order through GameSir's website, with the standard versions scheduled to ship this month and the Nioh 3 variant following in December. The special edition is also listed on Amazon.

There are a handful of gaming controllers with built-in displays, including ASUS's premium ROG Raikiri II Pro. GameSir has another themed controller on the way, too. The company has introduced a Phantom Blade Zero edition of its G7 Pro 8K PC controller, drawing inspiration from S-GAME's recently released action game.
