The best gamepads. It'll be a wasteland again once again once stock runs out

Gamesir seems to be vying for that crown of late - their price to feature ratio is impressive.

Edit: Yes, they'll face the same tariff pressures - I'm just noting that 8BitDo isn't the clear market leader the way they were 3-5 years ago.

2013 Founding of GameSir by Yao Ma and the establishing of headquarter in Guangzhou, China.

I would assume that GameSir would also be affected by tariffs on China if 8bitdo is.

Ahh ya gamesir. I have a gamesir gamepad for my phone. Really good. They'll have trouble with tariffs pricing too though

i picked up a gamesir g3s like 10 years ago and it still works pretty good. i need to replace the thumb pads, but other than that it's in good shape.
