New wired controllers offer ultra-low latency and customizable buttons for dedicated gamers in China
The two controllers share a similar physical design but diverge in their internal components and target platforms. The Tarantula Pro for Xbox uses a wired connection and features official licensing for Xbox compatibility. The Tarantula 8K PC model uses the same symmetric layout but optimizes its electronics for first-person shooter gameplay on personal computers.
The Tarantula Pro features thermistor magnetic resistance joysticks that provide consistent analog input without mechanical wear. It supports a 1kHz polling rate and includes customizable buttons that let players remap functions to their preferred positions. It delivers reliable performance with a 1kHz polling rate, making it well-suited for general gameplay across various genres.
The Tarantula 8K PC controller pushes its polling rate to 8kHz, which reduces input latency to under 0.25 milliseconds according to the company specifications. The Tarantula 8K is optimized for fast-paced FPS titles, offering an 8kHz polling rate and sub-0.25ms latency for precise input. Both controllers maintain wired connections throughout their operation and do not include wireless capabilities.
Pricing begins at 299 CNY, with availability restricted to the Chinese market via local distribution networks.
These new controllers expand GameSir's lineup of wired peripherals for gaming enthusiasts. The Tarantula Pro and 8K provide dedicated wired solutions for players seeking reliable, low-latency input methods.
GameSir confirmed the specifications and pricing for both controllers through official announcements. GameSir markets the Tarantula 8K for high-performance PC gaming, while the Pro model offers straightforward compatibility for Xbox users.
