The GameSir T4 Mini is a wireless universal controller that is based on the original Nintendo Switch Pro Controller in terms of design and functionality. Unlike the template, however, the T4 Mini does without the extended handles and thus offers the same features in a space-saving variant. This is particularly suitable for smaller hands and is also very practical for mobile use. The T4 Mini is also equipped with RGB lighting.
We took a closer look at the Chinese manufacturer's gamepad and tell you what you can expect from this inexpensive alternative.
GameSir T4 Mini
GameSir already has a lot of experience in the field of gamepads. The company has specialized in particular in solutions for mobile gaming. With the T4 Pro, a multi-platform controller appeared some time ago that offers the functionality of the original devices at a particularly affordable price. The T4 Mini is now the smaller model, which offers the same controls, but does without the rigid handles of the larger model and weighs just 156 grams (comparison: the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller weighs 246 grams.)
Arrangement, design, distances and size are based on the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. In addition to the ABXY buttons, there are two joysticks, four shoulder buttons (no triggers), a full D-Pad, and the familiar Switch function buttons: minus, plus, record, and home button. In addition, there is a turbo button integrated by GameSir in the middle. This makes it possible to fire individual keys with manual or auto turbo. The T4 Mini is equipped with a 6-axis gyro sensor and two motors for vibration - the intensity can be adjusted.
The GameSir T4 is a wireless gamepad that can be used with almost any device via Bluetooth (Standards: Apple Arcade, MFI, HID). The controller has a built-in 600 mAh battery, which, according to the manufacturer, allows up to 10 hours of play time and takes 3 hours to charge. An auto sleep mode saves power and turns off the device when not in use. The controller runs on the PC via the supplied USB-C cable, which can also be used to charge the device.
A highlight - in the truest sense of the word - is the RGB lighting of the controller. This offers different lighting methods (off, static, heartbeat or gradient) in eight different colors. The desired lighting can be set on the controller using a key combination. This ensures better orientation even in dark surroundings. The ABXY buttons are transparent and their lettering shines from the inside, which looks visually appealing and provides a great effect.

As with the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, there is a sync button on the front of the housing, and four LEDs on the underside provide information about the current charging status.

Conclusion
The GameSir T4 Mini is in no way inferior to the original Nintendo Switch Pro Controller in terms of functionality, but is much more compact and lighter. This makes the controller an ideal alternative for younger gamers or those with smaller hands. If you like it colorful, you will be happy about the adjustable lighting. Especially the light of the ABXY keys looks very appealing due to the crystal clear buttons.
The vibration of the two asymmetrically running motors is quite strong, but fortunately can be adjusted (four levels or off). The vibration in the standard setting was a bit too loud for us, but at the lowest level it does its work inconspicuously and corresponds roughly to that of the original from Nintendo.
The pressure point of the keys is good and the joysticks also allow precise control. Only the hard plastic surface feels a little less velvety than the textured handles of the Switch Pro Controller. Thus, the T4 Mini does not offer any extra protection against sweaty hands, but this is compensated quite well by the more open posture without handles. The light construction is a matter of taste, if you prefer something bulkier, you probably won't go for this compact model anyway.

For the recommended price, you get a good alternative to the original Nintendo Switch Pro Controller with the GameSir T4 Mini. This also at a lower price and with a chic lighting. The battery of the T4 Mini is a bit weaker and therefore lasts less long, but you get a controller that takes up little space even when used on the go and can also be used for other devices (PC, smartphone, etc.).
We can particularly recommend the GameSir T4 Mini as a second controller. Especially for families with younger players, the controller offers the same functionality at a significantly lower price.
