I tried several iPhones in the X2 cradle and the iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPhone 13 Pro stuck up a little on the right side thanks to their respective camera bumps - the iPhone 11 Pro Max sits perfectly flush with the sides as does the iPhone 12 Pro.

The X2 comes with a really nice red and black, dual-zip carry case that protects the controller from damage and looks good while doing it.

Streaming games from PC to iPhone using Steam Link works well with the X2. There are two analogue sticks, a direction pad, four (Y, X, A, B) buttons, a pair of R1/R1 and L1/L2 shoulder trigger buttons and four other custom buttons. The X2 features a rubber base in the middle where the iPhone will sit with adjustable sides that can accommodate anything from the iPhone SE all the way up to the Pro Max. The main body of the X2 is white with black buttons, shoulder triggers and the only colour is red and blue on the ball of the left and right joysticks respectively. There’s no denying that the Gamesir X2 has borrowed much of its button and joystick layout design from the Nintendo Switch and this is a good thing. I’m also wondering if there are any similar issues like this with any other Bluetooth controllers.IPhone 11 Pro max in the Gamesir X2. 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.
