GameSir launches its X3 Type-C Peltier-Cooled Ergonomic Mobile Gaming Controller on Indiegogo
GameSir, a leading provider of innovative, high quality gaming peripherals is pleased to announce the launch of its new Indiegogo campaign for its latest product – the X3 Type-C peltier-cooled mobile gaming controller. Designed specifically for mobile gaming, it aims to ensure that gamers no longer need to make the compromise or decision between a mobile controller or a phone cooler – combining both into one device for a superior performance. The X3 Type-C is available on Indiegogo from 20 April with prices starting from £53.81/$69.99 – a reduction of 30% from the RRP.
Allowing users to have the best of both worlds, the X3 Type-C is a wired controller integrated with an ergonomic phone cooler. This ensures that it delivers a console-like experience whilst ensuring that any overheating issues with phones are solved easily. With a combination of 4000 mm² cooling area, 128 heat transfer columns and 7500RPM 7-blade fan for increased airflow, it can efficiently cool down a phone once the power is connected so that gaming can continue without any delays or problems. The phone cooler can allow up to a 12°C drop in the CPU temperature and 24°C drop in surface temperature and the wired connection maintains a zero-input delay whilst in use.
Designed for pro-level gaming, the device features bumpers, triggers, face buttons and a D-pad that all come with Kailh switches that are resistant to up to 3 million clicks to ensure that there is crisp tactile feedback that feels more advanced than previous mobile gaming device.
The Alps analog thumb sticks also provide smooth and precise 360° control for accurate gaming whilst the ABXY buttons are detachable so can allow for an Xbox and Switch layout swap if desired. The controller can also be customised with various interchangeable parts such as the D-pad, thumb sticks and thumb stick caps so that the experience can be truly personal and lead to an increased chance of success in gameplay – whether a beginner, intermediate or advanced mobile gamer. Featuring a one click option to capture any highlights, it is easy to get an image that can be used to brag to friends.
The X3 Type-C supports nearly all controller-supported Android games as well as multiple popular cloud gaming platforms such as Microsoft’s xCloud, Google Stadia, Vortex, Amazon Luna, NVIDIA GeForce Now, Steam Link, and more, allowing it to be compatible with most cloud games and bringing an outstanding experience. The device also fits all mainstream Type-C phones (required length: 110-179mm) and works on Android 9 or above so is almost universal for all and easy to use. The battery-free design allows it to be more travel-friendly weighing just 270g as well as eco-friendly meaning that it is ideal for use on the go, on holiday or just on the morning commute.

10-15% Of Gamers In Florida Show Signs Of Gaming Addiction: Here Are 10 Signs Your Kid Is Suffering From It (And How You Can Help)
Recent studies indicate that 10-15% of young gamers in Florida exhibit signs of gaming addiction. These findings underscore the need for early identification of symptoms to prevent negative impacts on children’s mental and physical health. Gaming addiction, if not dealt with, can lead to poor academic performance, social withdrawal, and even health problems.
Marin Cristian-Ovidiu, CEO of FreezeNova, discusses key indicators of gaming addiction and offers practical advice for parents.
Recognizing Early Signs
“Early recognition of gaming addiction is crucial in preventing long-term negative outcomes,” Marin explains. The following signs can help parents identify if their child might be developing an addiction:
Exhaustion and Irritability
Constant tiredness and grumpiness during the day could indicate late-night gaming sessions interfering with sleep.
Gaming Obsession
If gaming dominates your child’s thoughts and conversations, and they plan their day around it while neglecting other responsibilities, it could be a sign of addiction.
Decline in Academic Performance and Lost Interests
A noticeable decline in academic performance or loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities may suggest your child is prioritizing gaming over more important tasks.
Emotional Volatility
Extreme emotional reactions to in-game outcomes, such as uncontrolled anger, known as ‘Gamer Rage’, or intense celebrations, could indicate an unhealthy attachment to gaming.
Physical Strain
Signs of repetitive strain injuries like ‘Gamer’s Thumb’ or ‘Nintendo Neck’ from prolonged screen time are warning signals.
Neglecting Basic Needs
If your child is neglecting basic needs like eating, sleeping, or hygiene to keep playing, gaming has likely taken an unhealthy control over their life.
Creating a Supportive Environment
While video games can be a great source of entertainment and connection, around 70% of people with signs of gaming addiction also experience social disorders. Marin recommends a few tips for building a supportive and open environment for your child.
Teamwork and Setting Boundaries
“Parents and children should work together to create a healthy gaming environment. Gaming addiction requires a holistic approach,” Marin advises. Start by setting clear boundaries on gaming time to ensure there’s room for schoolwork, chores, and quality family time.
Revisit activities your child once loved, like football practice or exploring new hobbies together. It’s vital for your child to take breaks from screens, so create a balanced daily routine that includes homework, chores, exercise and just some gaming time. This allows your child to enjoy their games without neglecting other aspects of their life.
Open Communication
Maintain open communication. Discuss the games your child enjoys and any concerns you might have. By understanding their world, you can work together to find solutions.
Remember, you’re not alone. If you feel overwhelmed, seek professional help from specialists in gaming addiction. Marin concludes, “By working as a team, setting clear boundaries, and fostering open communication, we can help your child develop a healthy relationship with gaming and thrive in all areas of life.”
