What is it?
A versatile and feature-packed gaming controller.
Good points?
Wired connectivity ensures a stable and lag-free gaming experience without any need to charge a battery.
The controller also boasts a 3.5mm audio jack for those who prefer using their favourite headphones. However, it's worth noting that this feature is not supported in XInput mode.
For precision and immersion, the T4 Kaleid incorporates a six-axis gyro and Hall Effect magnetic sensors in the analogue triggers and sticks. This gives responsive and accurate controls, especially in games that rely on motion or precise aiming.
The inclusion of microswitch buttons with a five million click lifespan ensures durability and tactile feedback. Additionally, the controller features two rumble motors for immersive haptic feedback.
Modern gaming products wouldn’t be complete without coloured lights and the T4 Kaleid doesn’t disappoint here. Featuring four ultra-personalised lighting modes to brighten up your life.
One of the unique aspects of this controller is the presence of two back buttons, allowing for individual control options. These buttons can be programmed to perform various functions, giving you a competitive edge in your favourite games.
To further enhance customisation, the GameSir T4k App provides an intuitive interface for remapping buttons and adjusting sensitivity settings to suit your preferences.
Bad points?
The two-metre cable supplied is a tad short for consoles and PCs situated in awkward locations.
Best for ...
Gamers playing across multiple platforms whether on Windows 10 and 11, the Nintendo Switch, or Android devices running 8.0 or above, this controller has you covered.
Avoid if ...
You are tied to Xbox and PlayStation as these consoles are not compatible.
Score: 8/10.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
