Features
The GameSir T1s keeps most of its subdued looks with blue LED indicators when you power it on, showing you the charge level and connectivity. The X, Y, A and B buttons light up as blue, yellow, green and red respectively.
In the center of the T1s is a black clip which you can lift up and them firmly attach a mobile phone. This clip is spring loaded and really grips your phone firmly…..just in case you decided to fling your controller around in a fit of rage. Here’s where the weights in the controller arms really come in, giving the T1s with a large mobile phone attach some balance so you don’t feel the mobile phone is about to tip over in your hands.
Inside the arms are 2 motors which vibrate to give you gaming feedback, and are just as responsive as the T1s’ buttons, meaning no lag between what the game is showing and the vibration patterns you feel.
Inside the T1s is a lithium ion battery which provides up to 30 hours of playtime if you connect via Bluetooth. Using the dedicated wireless USB dongle will mean the battery will drain faster, giving you roughly 24 hours of gameplay.
Happy Chick
Happy Chick is the app which GameSir supplies for its controllers. Available for both Android and iOS, there are a plethora of games available, many of which are retro titles taking you on a trip down memory lane.
Installation of the Happy Chick app is done by first scanning the QR code on the instructional leaflet you get with GameSir controllers, which will direct you to their website containing simple instructions on how to install the app and get it to work.
Once that is done, all the gaming content is there for you to download. Think of Happy Chick as an all-in-one emulator with content library containing most of the popular titles of each console.
The GameSir T1s can only connect to an iOS device via MFI which limits the amount of games you can use the T1s with. NBA 2k17 worked well without any lag, but the older console emulated games such as Mario 64 and King of Fighter 97 would not work.
