Yes. This is from the official GameSir store on AliExpress. Literally just got one of these in the mail yesterday from the same store on AliExpress (ordered about a week ago) and it's legit.

GameSir controllers are great.

Community Reviews

The GameSir Nova Lite is a compact tri mode controller that stands out for its value, travel friendly hard shell case, and solid feel for the price. It works with Switch, PC, Android, and iOS, and the included dongle can pair uniquely so multiple controllers can share one PC without conflict. Setup is straightforward, with Switch recognizing it as a Pro controller and mode changes remembered after switching. The main caveat is that it has no gyro or motion controls, and wireless polling is limited to 250Hz. A strong budget pick if you want a small, versatile pad and can live without motion support.

  • The controller includes a hard case that helps protect the controller and keeps the USB dongle organized for travel.

  • Switch recognizes the controller as a Pro controller and the dongle is not needed for Switch mode.

  • The 2.4GHz dongle can pair uniquely so multiple controllers can be used on the same PC without pairing conflicts.

    MistahMe

  • The controller can support DS4/Dinput and Xinput modes through the 2.4GHz dongle for broader PC compatibility.

  • The controller lacks gyro support, which makes it a poor choice for Switch games that rely on motion controls.

  • Wireless mode is limited to a 250Hz polling rate, which may matter for players sensitive to responsiveness.

  • Applying a coupon code may fail to reduce the price, and PayPal can still charge the full amount.

  • The controller's default PC identification can show up as a PS5 controller, and changing it may require an Android-based firmware downgrade.

Got the same model yesterday, shipped from California. The quality is amazing for the value. I don't know if it mentions it, but the controller came with its own little case, something my $70 PS5 and Xbox controllers do not. I was apprehensive as I was unfamiliar with the brand, but I was pleasantly surprised.

Does it register as an Xbox controller or a generic controller? Is it the same size as an Xbox controller?

It's about 5/6 of an XBOX controller. Switch saw it as a Pro controller, I just got it yesterday so that was my only use so far. It had a dongle, that isn't needed for the Switch. To change modes you just hold a combination of 2 buttons, and it remembers your last mode.

Yeah, same. The case is great

I picked this up last week, and the default connection on it shows up as a PS5 controller. There is a reddit post online for downgrading the firmware to v4200, so that it recognizes as an Xbox Controller on PC instead. The firmware flash process requires the GameSir Android app, and connecting to it from an Android device. I'm not sure if there's an iOS equivalent process, but I had an old android phone lying around and was able to make it work.

We have a couple of these and they're decent for a budget controller.

I was choosing between this and the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C. I ultimately went with the GameSir Nova Lite for its more A-shaped frame and the hard shell case. The case is super convenient for travel and reduces the chances of losing the wireless dongle. Caveat, only 250Hz polling rate in wireless mode.

This controller does not have gyro. I received mine yesterday, from last weeks deal. So, it's not a good choice for Switch.
It does have it's own custom case, which includes a spot for the usb dongle. It seems to be a decent controller. But if I had known about no gyro before ordering, I wouldn't have bought it.

Still a GREAT choice for Switch. Your use may be quite unique, you surely should ensure your gaming peripherals are properly equipped for your niche needs.

Definitely. As @mr-blister said below, this is directly from the AliExpress GameSir store. I received mine on Saturday and it's pretty great for the price.
