The GameSir X2 Mobile Gaming Controller is one such accessory. With the rise of smartphone (iOS/Android) as the preferred platform, a new family of accessories have also debuted, not the least of which is are mobile controller which provides you with the tactile feel of using actual buttons, while letting you use your entire mobile screen as a display. However, with the advent of smartphones able to compete with average laptops, wireless LTE connections stable and fast enough, and a horde of games available both classic and new, handheld gaming is fast becoming (in India it already is) the largest market share of the gaming pie. If you still wanted to game on the go, you were left with novel but objectively inferior options like Nintendo DS, the PS Vita and most recently the Nintendo Switch. Earlier, if you wanted to get into serious gaming, you either had to become a PCMR, or you had to buy a console.

Every 10 years or so it will have its moment in the sun, but mostly it’s an outlier when it comes to mainstream gaming focus. I’m also wondering if there are any similar issues like this with any other Bluetooth controllers.Handheld gaming has always been on the periphery of the gaming industry at large.

It’s looking like this may be a steam issue the more I mess with things. I’ve tried messing with the controller as best i can and I’m in touch with GameSir customer service(slow progress). But once I connect it to Steam Link iOS it freezes up after a few button pushes.

It also works with ps remote play without freezing. It also seems that when I open the initial steam link app menu, prior to connecting to my pc, it works fine. What’s also new is Steam Link will crash when I try to reconnect. The controller shows that it’s on and connected, but will stop working and no other inputs will work until I turn the controller on and then on again. It used to last about an hour before this happened. Help! I bought a GameSir x2 bluetooth controller about a month ago and it now freezes when using Steam Link iOS after a few seconds.
