Enhanced Gaming
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.
