One-minute review
The GameSir Nova Lite is a much better controller than its ultra-low price suggests.
Its not the most feature-rich controller, nor does it have the highest-quality modules.
It’s easy to be suspicious of a controller with such a low price tag.
But at this price point, thats to be expected.
And the Nova Lite still impresses with its overall design and, albeit limited, feature set.
Buttons and modules are pretty serviceable across the board, with some rather nice-feeling membrane face buttons and triggers.
As weve come to expect from GameSir products, though, the Nova Lites thumbsticks greatly impress.
Chief among these is the robust function button, which again is surprisingly versatile for its budget price tag.
Otherwise youre getting unremarkable yet solid performance from the GameSir Nova Lite.
The only major drawback to note with the GameSir Nova Lite is its battery life.
