Tested for 3 months before reviewing - I have waited over 3 months to review this controller so I could fully test it daily and compare it to other controllers I have used in the past. For the money this is one of the best gaming controllers I have ever tried, and I have used nearly every mainstream controller since the early 1980s, as well as many bespoke (overpriced) custom made controllers in my past. I first heard about this controller via a friend. When I bought it in Feb it was £63.99 on sale. At first my perception of the brand GameSir was not one of high quality products, but of budget friendly, cheap controllers that do the job. Overall the build quality of the whole controller is very good. However, the Tarantula Pro has a phenomenal D-pad and possibly one of the best D-pads I have ever used in a long while. If you play a lot of retro games, or games that use the D-pad. This controller is an amazing buy. The D-pad uses tactile switches and great quality. I have been hammering at it for the last 3 months and it is still like new. For example, if you use a standard Xbox Controller, this D-pad is a huge upgrade over it. The joysticks use TMR, and the sticks are positioned like a Playstation controller which I prefer to the Xbox over made years of playing both. They are wide enough apart that you don't get repetitive strain, compared to some cheaper controllers that place the two sticks too close together, causing your thumbs issues over time. I use this controller on my PC in the xbox layout as well as often on the switch as a replacement to the switch pro controller. If you hold down the M button on the back + bottom A the controller can rotate the layout between Switch layout and back to Xbox depending on your needs. One of the few criticisms of the controller is the feeling of the four buttons. They are nice and are certainly ok, and more than up to the job. However, it is one of the few places I think GameSir has made the controller for the cost, as if you have handled more expensive controllers, you can feel the difference in the way they click. They are perfectly good though and this is only a minor criticism. And for a controller at this price it is almost expecting too much. Another criticism is to set up the software and getting the controller to work the first time you have to directly connect the controller to your pc. I tried for ages wirelessly and through the charging station with their app. It did not work till I stuck the cable directly into the back of the controller, bypassing the charging dock. Once I had set it up physically once via the usb cable directly to the controller all the other features worked perfectly. However I did find this a little clunky and something GameSir needs to work on for customer experience. Overall, this controller is nearly perfect. And for the price it is a steal. I got it on one of the many sales desertcart has. If you need a high quality, well built controller with really good build quality and a stand out amazing D-pad, this controller is for you. Review: Amazing All-platform controller, few minor improvements - Positives: - Ergonomic shape, comfortable to play on - Responsive and tactile buttons and joystick - Good battery life - Good weight to controller - Tested compatible with PC, IOS and Android Minor negatives: - Overwhelming and outdated instruction leaflet provided with product, needed assistance from Gamesir Discord server to get controller connected with provided dongle - Requires GameSir app for all customisations, can't configure extra buttons or gyro within games themselves - I would have preferred a grippier material on the side of the controller. ## 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.

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.

The symmetrical layout is really comfortable—especially for long sessions—and the TMR thumbsticks offer smooth, accurate control, which is a big plus for FPS and action games. What really sets it apart is the motorised ABXY layout switching—I can flip between Xbox and Nintendo layouts with a button press, and it’s both quick and satisfying. The nine mappable buttons, including rear paddles, offer loads of flexibility for different games, and the Hall Effect triggers feel precise with great response. I’ve also found the HD rumble surprisingly immersive for a third-party pad. Connection-wise, it supports Bluetooth, 2.4GHz wireless, and USB-C wired, so it works across all my devices without fuss. The charging dock is a nice touch—it keeps the controller topped up and looks good on the desk. Battery life is strong too—I’ve gone multiple days of use before needing to recharge. All in all, it’s an excellent controller with loads of smart features and solid build quality. Highly recommend it if you're after a premium multi-platform pad. ## 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? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/661508870-gamesir-tarantula-pro-wireless-controller-for-switch-pc-ios-android](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/661508870-gamesir-tarantula-pro-wireless-controller-for-switch-pc-ios-android) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
