The Gamesir G3v is Gamesir’s “luxury” version of their G3s and is worth the couple of extra dollars. Not just for the cool blue color, premium finish and neat carrying pouch, but because it’s the only gamepad you need for all your devices.
The G3v will work with Android, PC, and PS3 without issue. There are even instructions for pairing with Apple devices, though they’re not officially supported.
This well-designed beauty paired to my Android TV box right away. All the games I play regularly like Asphalt 8, Riptide GP Renegade, and Leo’s Fortune recognized the gamepad immediately. Even my Playstation emulator knew it by name.
The analog sticks have just the right amount of resistance and the buttons are all snappy and responsive. The triggers on this gamepad have real travel to them, great for racing games where you need to regulate the throttle.
The finish on the buttons and the shape of the gamepad make long gaming sessions much more comfortable than with other controllers. Even a real thumb-number like Virtua Tennis Challenge is a pleasure to play.
It has a rumble feature for PC and PS3 and a really convenient mouse mode for Android. The mouse mode makes it easy to navigate menus in games that don’t support gamepads for menus and for emulators.
In short, there’s no need to spend an enormous sum for a bunch of different gamepads. Just get the G3v and you’re all set.
