GameSir has made two new wired controllers available for purchase on Amazon, targeting PC and Xbox gamers who want specific hardware features. The Tarantula 8K PC and Tarantula Pro for Xbox both ship at the same price point, giving buyers a choice between high-speed responsiveness and console-specific vibration feedback. This release expands access to GameSir's peripheral lineup beyond direct vendor channels.
Two wired controllers ship at $69.99 with distinct feature sets for PC and Xbox users
The Tarantula 8K PC is designed exclusively for Windows PCs and features a symmetrical layout similar to the PlayStation DualSense controller. It uses GameSir's Gen 2 Mag-Res TMR sticks to provide precise analog input. The controller also includes macro support, an adjustable turbo function, a six-axis gyroscope, an audio jack, and customizable RGB lighting.
Spec comparison
| Spec | Tarantula 8K PC | Tarantula Pro for Xbox |
|---|---|---|
| Polling Rate | 8,000Hz | 1,000Hz |
| Vibration | Not specified | Four motors |
| Price | $69.99 | $69.99 |
In contrast, the Tarantula Pro for Xbox includes four vibration motors located in the grips and triggers for haptic feedback. However, its polling rate is limited to 1000Hz, and this speed applies only when connected to a PC. The Xbox version lacks the 8,000Hz polling rate found in the PC-exclusive model.
Both controllers are priced at $69.99 USD (around $69.99) and are available to buy now from GameSir and Amazon. A third model, the Tarantula Ultra 8K PC, is not yet available for purchase. PC gamers seeking maximum polling speed should choose the 8K PC, while Xbox users may prefer the Pro version for its vibration motors.
