Don't even think about the xbox elite or nintendo pro controllers. This is in a whole other league. Yes, the ABXY swap is a gimmick. This is worth the price even if you will never use said gimmick beyond setting it initially as your dedicated switch or PC/android/etc controller. I actually do appreciate the ability to swap ABXY for emulation purposes and when I'm between switch and PC. Switching between these devices is super intuitive and fast, as most controllers should be these days. It will wake up your switch when you pull it off the charging dock! The haptic motors are SUPERB, really, really premium feeling and adjustable. You can macro controller inputs on the controller itself, and it has a plethora of very easy to access but won't hit accidentally buttons around the top and the grip buttons are my favorite semi-flush design. setting up the back buttons as L3/R3 took literally two seconds. I even also set up a macro that selected and placed into holding 5 of an item in the menu for tears of the kingdom, also took 2 seconds. The button and stick feel are just phenomenal. The trigger locks are superb, making them go from buttery smooth analog to perfect tactile microswitch. The gulikit king kong pro 3 had the same feature, but both settings felt awful. It also has a hair trigger software mode if you want analog feel but super sensitive response. The gyro is very accurate. I don't like gyro aiming in general, but it worked right away on switch and PC and felt as good as it could. The ABXY buttons are nice rubber membrane with a good balance of travel and responsiveness. And I honestly love the illuminated at the bottom buttons. The D-pad is an absolute standout here. better than anything any other company makes, first party or otherwise. There are nice rubber membrane D pads on some 8bitdo controllers, but none of their dedicated "modern" controllers are good. This is where the playstation style double stick on the bottom design shines - versatility. I personally prefer both sticks down low, they're easy to reach and comfortable, but D-pads down low are a nightmare for retro gaming. This D pad is not only placed better, but the microswitch feel is PHENOMENAL. like seriously, amazing. It's precise as heck, perfect feedback, no accidental diagonals, you can easily hit diagonals when you want, and it's snappy and ultra satisfying. If you are used to rubber membrane D pads it might feel a bit weird at first, but this is really up there with the all time best. The rest of the front buttons are also lovely feeling tactile microswitches. All the microswitches on the controller are perfectly dampened and not loud at all. It has the full range of normal start/select/home, but it also has four more accessory buttons along the lip tied natively to start/select, but you can freely macro them however you want, which I encourage you to try out for repetitive menu tasks or the like. The top piece is also a microswitch hub with I think 3 (L, R, center) switches, center is bound to screenshot by default. Turbo mode is easy and fast to enable. And onto the sticks. This and the pricier PBtails metal crush controller both use TMR sticks - these are similar to hall effect sticks, no moving parts so theoretically no drift ever, but TMR sticks poll at about ten times the rate of regular hall effect sticks, with lower power draw too. Honestly? I can't REALLY feel that much difference over good hall effect sticks on my other controllers. But the sticks themselves are perfect. The PBtails controller's sticks are metal, and when you release them they snap back past center and if you don't increase the deadzone, they will straight up move the cursor in menus, which is really annoying. The tension on the tarantula is perfect, not too firm or too light so they aren't fatiguing to push, snap back to center fast, and don't ever oversnap, with a glassy smooth feel, especially around the edges. The stick caps are good for my hands (a lot of these things are very personal choice, by the way) and don't irritate my thumbs with a lot of game time like the steam deck's thumbsticks or the 8bitdo ultimate sticks do. And the stand is lovely. Nice little acrylic stand that shows it off, charges with simple pogo pins, doesn't make a tiny spark like the 8bitdo and isn't slightly difficult to peel out of the dock like the 8bitdo. I really appreciate controllers that have a stand, it just makes them look much more presentable when sitting on my center entertainment stand. Only the 8bitdo ultimate has had that until now. Overall, I've been hunting for that "perfect" controller. I have the gulikit king kong pro 2,KK pro 3, 8bitdo sn30 pro, pro plus, ultimate, the pbtails metal crush, and the steam controller. For PC games I do generally still prefer the precision of the steam controller's touchpad, but for everything else, especially retro game emulation and switch, this is now the absolute daddy, no contest. Review: The search is finally over. The perfect PC controller! - I've been looking for an ergonomically comfortable PC controller for years. Only the Sony DualShock 4 was comfortable enough to be my daily driver, but wasn't good for most PC games without DS4Windows. This controller supports Xinput (Xbox controller) natively right out of the box, so everything else just works! The grip is perfect, feels just like the DS4, the controller is hefty without freaking too heavy or low quality, the dpad is mechanical and feels AMAZING, as do the R/L buttons and programmable face buttons. Latency feels great when connected via the USB Dongle, she even better with a direct wired connection. The only caveat is that you MUST update the firmware on BOTH the controller (via a wired USB cable) AND the dongle using their software. And on top of that, you'll likely have to recalibrate the controller as well, which you can do without the software. Do a Google Search for "GameSir Connect" software, and choose to download it manually from their site. Do NOT use the Microsoft Store version; it will not work. The version you download should be (at the time of writing 1.4.1). Once you have the software, install it and connect your controller via USB. You should be able to go into the software and choose firmware update to get it to the most recent version. BUT YOU'RE NOT DONE YET! You need to update the dongle as well, or some of your buttons or analog sticks don't work when you try wirelessly. With the GameSir Connect app still open, plug in the USB dongle, then HOLD the button on the dongle itself; you should see messages appear about updating its firmware as well. For the most part, you should now be good to go. In some instances, you'll need to recalibrate the sticks too, if they're too sensitive or otherwise wacky. All you have to do is hold the Select/Windows button (middle left), the Start/Menu button (middle right), and Xbox/GameSir button (logo button between the sticks) to enter calibration mode. From there, once it starts blinking, hit RT fully 3 times, LT fully 3 times, then rotate each analog stick fully clockwise 3 times and counter-clockwise 3x, then press the A button (bottom face bottom) to complete the recalibration. ## Features - ABXY Layout Switching: The Tarantula Pro controller features seamless adaptive switching between Xbox and Switch ABXY button layouts. Accompanied by immersive sound effects, the lighting dynamically adjusts with each key rotation, creating an exhilarating sense of readiness and power. - GameSir Mag-Res TMR Sticks: Experience unrivaled precision with Mag-Res TMR sticks, combining the benefits of both traditional and Hall Effect sticks for superior accuracy, low power consumption, and long-lasting durability. Perfect for gamers who demand high performance and stability. - Precision-Tuned Hall Effect Triggers: Gain the competitive edge with ultra-responsive Hall Effect triggers. For first-person shooters and action games, switch to Hair Trigger Mode instantly by holding the M+LT/RT buttons, giving you faster response times when it matters most. - Multi-Platform Compatibility: Game anywhere with full compatibility across Switch, PC, iOS, Android, and Steam. The Tarantula Pro delivers minimal latency and a smooth, lag-free experience, making it perfect for competitive gaming across platforms. - Immersive HD Rumble Feedback: Feel every hit, crash, and explosion with HD Rumble, delivering realistic, dynamic vibrations through the controller’s triggers and body. This heightened haptic feedback makes every game feel more immersive and engaging. - 6-Axis Gyroscope & NFC Support for Switch: Enjoy precise motion control with the built-in 6-axis gyroscope, perfect for Switch games that require movement. Plus, with NFC compatibility, easily interact with your favorite Nintendo devices, making this controller ideal for Switch fans. - Pro-Level Customization: Take control with up to 9 mappable buttons and personalized settings. Remap buttons on the fly, customize the RGB lighting effects. The back button latch prevents unintended inputs, ensuring smoother gameplay. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0DFM8L3YH | | Batteries | 1 Lithium Ion batteries required.

I never use PlayStation style controllers but this one feels great in the hands and is more slim than a dual sense controller. Has a ton of features and remappable buttons. I only use maybe half of the remappable buttons because of how they are placed. The TMR sticks fill great. Similar to the feel of my game sir controllers. I use this on Xbox with a adapter and it works perfectly fine. You get so much controller for this price it's kind of crazy. The only thing I don't like which is my preference but the d-pad being to the left of the left thumb stick. But that's normal for this style controller. But makes it hard for me to access it while trying to still move with the left thumb stick in a game I have to reach over either with my right hand or let go of the left thumbstick and use the d-pad with my left thumb causing me not to move my character and I get shot like that lol but that's a personal thing. Great controller, definitely recommend it for a PlayStation substitute. The pictures are of the hyperkin competitor PlayStation style Xbox controller versus this one. The competitor is complete trash, don't get it lol. ## Frequently Bought Together - GameSir Tarantula Pro Wireless Controller for Switch/PC/iOS/Android with Charging Dock, Bluetooth 2.4G Wired Controller - GameSir G7 SE Wired Controller for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One & Windows 10/11, Plug and Play Gaming Gamepad with Hall Effect Joysticks/Hall Trigger, 3.5mm Audio Jack - GameSir Kaleid Wired Controller for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One,Windows 10/11 & Steam, Plug and Play Gaming Gamepad, Transparent Video Game Controller with Hall Effect Joysticks/Hall Trigger --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/662311198-gamesir-tarantula-pro-wireless-controller-for-switch-pc-ios-android](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/662311198-gamesir-tarantula-pro-wireless-controller-for-switch-pc-ios-android) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
