Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas only supports D-Input and worked out of the box after remapping some of the buttons.<\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/doc-root\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-05-1024x682.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/doc-root\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-05-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/doc-root\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-05-768x512.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/doc-root\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-05-696x464.jpg.webp 696w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/doc-root\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-05-1068x712.jpg.webp 1068w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/doc-root\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-05-630x420.jpg.webp 630w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/doc-root\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-05-20x13.jpg.webp 20w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/doc-root\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-05.jpg.webp 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7210 webpexpress-processed\" src=\"http:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-05-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"GameSir-G4S-Review-05\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-05-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-05-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-05-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-05-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-05-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-05-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-05-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-05.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/picture><\/p>\n<p>Android support was equally good, regardless of playing games or using an emulator. As the controller uses Android&#8217;s controller standard, games like Beach Buggy Racing automatically detected the controller. Emulators such as EPSXE detected the controller and, after mapping the controls based on the target console, everything worked perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that I was able to easily move between consoles and controller standards without fuss is incredible, as the GameSir G4S eliminates the need to have separate controllers for each platform.<\/p>\n<h3>Controls and Customisation<\/h3>\n<p>The controller itself feels great to use and easily matches the quality of devices put out by Sony and Microsoft.<\/p>\n<p>Buttons are satisfyingly tactile and the 8-way d-pad feels accurate. None of the controls feel mushy like they tend to on cheap controllers.&nbsp;The triggers have comfortable resistance to them and are&nbsp;genuinely analog too.<\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/doc-root\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-D-Pad-1024x682.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/doc-root\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-D-Pad-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/doc-root\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-D-Pad-768x512.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/doc-root\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-D-Pad-696x464.jpg.webp 696w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/doc-root\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-D-Pad-1068x712.jpg.webp 1068w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/doc-root\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-D-Pad-630x420.jpg.webp 630w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/doc-root\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-D-Pad-20x13.jpg.webp 20w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/doc-root\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-D-Pad.jpg.webp 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7215 webpexpress-processed\" src=\"http:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-D-Pad-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"GameSir-G4S-Review-D-Pad\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-D-Pad-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-D-Pad-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-D-Pad-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-D-Pad-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-D-Pad-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-D-Pad-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-D-Pad-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-D-Pad.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/picture><\/p>\n<p>The&nbsp;G4S&#8217; analog sticks are responsive and the deadzone is great, easily allowing accurate movement without being overly twitchy.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d also have to mention that the controller is pretty configurable too. For starters, you can adjust the brightness of the controller&#8217;s LEDs or turn them off completely, and adjust the level of vibration right on the controller. You can also swap the left analog stick and d-pad functionality if you&#8217;d like (for example, if a game only supports the d-pad but you prefer using an analog stick). You can shape the controller to how you like to game.<\/p>\n<h3>Range<\/h3>\n<p>Range was excellent. Whether I was using&nbsp;Bluetooth 4.0 or 2.4GHz Wifi, I&nbsp;didn&#8217;t have any problems across my lounge room (~6m between the box and controller). I&#8217;d wager that this distance could be lengthened considerably over the controller&#8217;s 2.4GHz connection.<\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/doc-root\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-03-1024x682.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/doc-root\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-03-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/doc-root\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-03-768x512.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/doc-root\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-03-696x464.jpg.webp 696w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/doc-root\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-03-1068x712.jpg.webp 1068w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/doc-root\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-03-630x420.jpg.webp 630w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/doc-root\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-03-20x13.jpg.webp 20w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/webp-express\/webp-images\/doc-root\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-03.jpg.webp 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7208 webpexpress-processed\" src=\"http:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-03-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"GameSir-G4S-Review-03\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-03-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-03-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-03-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-03-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-03-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-03-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-03-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/hometheatrelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/GameSir-G4S-Review-03.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/picture><\/p>\n<h3>Battery Life<\/h3>\n<p>The unit has a&nbsp;in-built 800mAh battery which should offer lengthy battery life.
