GameSir has announced a wireless iteration of the Tegenaria Lite controller, now incorporating Huawei's NearLink technology into their peripherals. The NearLink technology offers a lower latency connection compared to conventional Bluetooth technology, giving gamers an edge when reaction times are crucial. The controller offers the precision of wired controls while giving you the convenience of wireless PC and mobile gaming.
Huawei NearLink tech joins GameSir controller for lower latency gaming
The Spirit Fox Wireless Controller is the wireless option to the current Tegenaria Lite controller. It still utilizes the same ergonomic design of its wired counterpart but features dual-mode triggers which can operate as micro-switch click triggers or analog Hall Effect control. The wireless controller can be connected either through its dedicated NearLink dongle or conventional Bluetooth. It also has a USB-C port for charging and data transfer.
The controller is fitted with custom JS13 Pro TMR joysticks instead of the Hall Effect sensors in some other models. It employs a 12-bit ADC chip and a 2000Hz polling rate for quick input reporting. It's also equipped with a six-axis gyro sensor and a 1000mAh battery for longer playtimes.
GameSir's D-pad allows for customizable operation where you can replace the usual cross D-pad with a disc-shaped keycap for an 8-way directional control. It features two mappable back buttons for quick in-game control. It's compatible with PC, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and Android.
The Hatsune Miku themed Spirit Fox Wireless Controller is now open for pre-order in China. It'll cost you CNY 299 (~$44.72). You can also pre-order the standard version of the controller on JD.com and Tmall.
We're yet to hear the actual price for it. It'll eventually be available in the West but no word on when.

NearLink is just marketing speak for low latency. I care about the Hall Effect triggers and TMR sticks. That is the real spec here.
Does the switch to TMR sticks ruin the analog feel? I usually prefer Hall Effect for precision in racing games. Will it feel too digital? 😬
It will feel linear and precise. TMR uses magnetic tunnel junctions so you get that consistent resistance without the wear of potentiometers. It is better than Hall for competitive shooters.
The price is solid. Forty five bucks for this much tech is hard to beat. I am saving up for the Miku edition. 🔥
