Using your $10 Best Buy cert on this controller is a crazy steal; I paid $30 for it months ago. It's one of the best controllers I've ever used in general. I use it on Switch 2 and PC couldn't be happier. It's insane that people can get a quality controller like this for $20 rn, has trigger locks, back paddles, hall effects, grips like.. it's a legit controller.
I will say the bestbuy exclusive red and white color way isn't a very "pretty" color, but i got over that real quick once i felt it in my hands. Love this controller so much! You could switch out the face plate as well FYI.

This is actually an incredible controller for the price, ended up buying a second one for PC and Switch 2. Comes with a charger dock that can also nest a USB 2.4hz receiver

Community Reviews

GameSir Super Nova comes across as a feature packed budget controller for Switch, PC, Android, and iOS, with hall effect sticks, back paddles, trigger locks, interchangeable parts, and a charging dock that can store the 2.4 gigahertz receiver. It also wakes Switch 2 and connects easily to PC, and the faceplate and button layout can be swapped for a different look or Xbox style controls. The main knocks are the loud red and white design, weak rumble, and a few reports of Bluetooth trouble or missed rapid button presses after drops. A strong value pick if the feature set matters more than premium polish.

  • The controller includes a charging dock that can also nest a USB 2.4 receiver for wireless use.

    espy

  • The controller can wake Switch 2 and supports interchangeable faceplates, thumbsticks, buttons, and friction rings.

    elenex

  • The controller is described as solid with strong overall feature coverage for the price.

    Mr-Blister

  • The controller is reported to connect easily to PC and it does not have functionality issues tied to its red-white color.

    FancyTank993

  • Dropping the controller can break the Bluetooth antenna and force it to work only in USB mode.

    Jersy19

  • Bluetooth can fail after a fall, with half the buttons or sticks malfunctioning even after firmware resets.

    Jersy19

  • Rapid button presses may not register correctly, which can be a deal breaker for fast-input games.

    SlickHamster388

  • Rumble performance is reported to be weaker than expected, even though it is treated as a minor drawback.

It is a good controller if you want back paddles or trigger locks. However, I couldn't live with the red color and got the controller below. Even though it is only bluetooth it has better latency and build quality.

I had this controller for a while. It's pretty solid. The rumble isn't great but that's a minor detail. Excellent for the price, especially because, at the time, it was the ONLY 3rd party controller that could wake the Switch 2

I ended up selling mine and getting an EasySMX S10 for like $45 on sale

It's an incredible controller and doesn't at all feel like a budget option. It has pretty much all the features of the Official Pro controller (NFC, "HD" Rumble, Gamechat button (sort of), Motion Control) plus more (TMR Thumbsticks, Hall Effect triggers, microswitch buttons).

Now it looks like they have the S10 Lite without HD Rumble, NFC, RGB, etc. I might pick up a Lite as a 2nd controller if it ever goes on sale!

I have been eyeing a Gamesir Super Nova for quite a while and I would absolutely jump on this for $30...but I can't get over that color. It's awful.

Just don't drop it. Mine fell from a 3 foot table and it broke the Bluetooth antenna and it would only work in USB mode.
You'd think there'd be some more rigorous drop protection, perhaps bad luck?

Maybe it was just a bad one, worked perfectly before but then my dog bumped the coffee table and it fell on the floor then didn't work with the Bluetooth option, it would connect but half the buttons didn't register and the sticks only would go one direction. But if I use hardwired or the dongle all the buttons and sticks worked perfectly. I also tried factory reset z downgrade and upgrade firmware etc. so the Bluetooth part of what send the commands broke. So weird, never had anything like that happen

This is a great deal but I'm so annoyed how ugly it is. I just want a single color.

I dont get it. It looks like regular shaped xbox/switch pro controller. What are you seeing exactly? Nothing really sticks out to me that would warrant this reaction.

I have one and it's been great so far, very easily connects to my PC, but the color placement, not so much the color combination (red-white) is what I don't like about the controller (not that affects functionality). Would have a more consistent aesthetic if the handles were white, or the controller was all red except for the font/lettering.
