GameSir - Mobile Controller Crowdfunding on Kickstarter

GameSir enters the world of crowdfunding with Pocket Taco, a vertical mobile controller designed to offer portability and practicality with a retro twist. The product is now available on Kickstarter and was created for those who want to transform their smartphone into a small portable console inspired by classic arcade and handhelds of the past.

Modern Controller, Retro Style

The Pocket Taco uses a vertical clamp system that holds the smartphone in "portrait" position, recalling the aesthetics of '90s handheld consoles. The Bluetooth wireless connection offers compatibility with Android and other supported platforms, providing an instant, low-latency experience, ideal for quick gaming sessions without complex configurations.

Its extremely compact size and light weight make it ideal for outdoor use. GameSir has also focused on practicality, including a protective case and a smart mechanism that automatically turns the controller on when opened and off when closed, optimizing power consumption.

From a technical standpoint, the Pocket Taco integrates a 600 mAh battery for long gaming sessions and an open bottom design that allows you to charge your smartphone while playing. The ABXY buttons, D-pad, and triggers should offer precision and comfort, while the dedicated app allows for advanced remapping and customization.

The controller is available in classic gray and Atom Purple, the latter being exclusive to the Kickstarter campaign. The early bird prices start at $34.99, with shipments expected for April 2026.
