GameSir has introduced its new Tarantula Series, a redesigned lineup of controllers built around community feedback and competitive performance. Rather than a simple refresh, the company positions the series as a full overhaul, refining both design and functionality to better suit modern playstyles.
The launch includes two key models aimed at distinct audiences: a stripped-down high-performance controller for PC esports players, and a feature-rich variant designed specifically for Xbox users seeking deeper customisation and immersion.
GameSir Tarantula 8K PC Built for Competitive Precision
Targeted at FPS enthusiasts, the GameSir Tarantula 8K PC focuses on delivering pure performance by removing non-essential features such as battery and vibration motors. This wired-only approach prioritises responsiveness and accuracy.
8000Hz polling rate with 0.5ms response time for ultra-fast input
Gen-2 GameSir Mag-Res TMR sticks for smoother, more linear control
Built-in 6-axis gyroscope for enhanced aiming precision
Fully customisable via GameSir Connect software (button mapping, macros, tuning)
Lightweight, minimal design aimed at competitive play
GameSir Tarantula Pro for Xbox Customisation Meets Immersion
For console players, the GameSir Tarantula Pro for Xbox introduces a symmetric controller layout combined with pro-grade features and native Xbox compatibility. It emphasises both tactile feedback and extensive configurability.
GameSir Mag-Res TMR sticks for consistent precision
Four rumble motors, including trigger-based feedback
Asymmetric actuators in the grips for enhanced vibration realism
Nine programmable buttons via GameSir Nexus on Xbox and PC
Custom profiles for sticks, triggers, and vibration settings
Pricing
The GameSir Tarantula 8K and GameSir Tarantula Pro are now available to pre-order, each priced at US$69.99.
