Initially, we tried playing two games, League of Legends and Asphalt. First, we played it without the controller, and then we played it with the X2 controller. The gaming experience has been enhanced by 60%. If you’re a fan of PUBG Mobile or Free Fire, the performance boost is surely more than 60% for such games as the solid triggers help you get better aim and movement.

Solid Built Quality

Another good thing about this controller that it doesn’t feel cheap! The built quiality is premium and it feels perfect in the hands.

Perfect Grip

Triggers and joysticks feel premium, and it has a perfect grip. In fact, the backside of the controller gives a comfortable feeling during the gameplay.

Power-efficient / Charging

X2 doesn’t have a battery, but it has a charging slot that allows you to charge your phone while playing your game.

If you’re a streamer, this function is bliss as, during streaming, lots of streamers face battery drainage problems.

Not just this, this controller also consume less battery in comparison with other controllers.

In the box there were some stickers and thump grips to make the aiming experience in the game more solid.
