Overview
How high do you want to go? Super high? What about Xiaohai? Now, that’s really high! You see, Xiaohai is a pro fighting game legend from China whose career went as high as reaching the Evo grand finals stage multiple times—and winning the tournament multiple times too.
If you didn’t already know: GameSir makes gaming controllers, and back in the day, it released a fightstick called the C2. Its white label design was one of the best.
Nowadays, GameSir has collaborated with Xiaohai to come up with GameSir x Xiaohai: potentially the most luxurious fightstick to date.
Yet, GameSir and Xiaohai aren’t the only names tied to this fightstick… Delta Gaming, GameSir’s new subsidiary, is also involved with this mighty innovation.
Without further ado, let’s dive into the nitty gritty—starting with how this fightstick features what GameSir calls the world’s first levitating buttons.
In other words, instead of the buttons being mounted via the panel, the new design features a levitation mechanism in which there’s an integrated surface—with less contact between the fightstick’s case and button housing. And the result?
- The buttons depress faster.
- They’re also more durable.
Moving on, this new fightstick is one of the widest in history, so even the most unapologetic manspreaders should be able to fit this fightstick on their laps—especially useful in tournaments where tables are sparse—and one’s legs can experience better blood flow as a result.
More than that, the fightstick has a hinged design to easily pop it open almost like a laptop—whether you’d like to do some modding or repairs.
With that being said, the top panel is essentially brushed metal, and the golden color is one of the main reasons this fightstick looks so deluxe.
Now, you may be familiar with similarly colored fightsticks as limited editions given out to top 8 tournament finalists. When this fightstick was first announced in May of 2025, the situation was somewhat similar.
Essentially, Xiaohai had the fightstick, and the phenom himself said that the fightstick should be getting mass produced in July or August of the same year, 2025, although that didn’t turn out to be a reality—at least not in terms of the fightstick actually being released…
Meanwhile, you may be able to at least get a black edition of this fightstick—with the golden edition being exclusive and/or limited.
At this point, we’ve already established that this fightstick is a sight to behold, but that barely scratches the surface. In addition to LED that shines through the fightstick’s midsection, the top panel can also display screensaver-esque animations such as:
- Matrix-like waterfall
- Triangular geometric tunnel
From the looks of it, this fightstick may be a contender for the best of all time. Unlike most other fightsticks: its lighting is unlike anything we’ve seen before, it’s metallic, it’s super wide, and it even has three extra buttons—something modern games like Street Fighter 6 benefit from—but whether you play that game or not, you should keep this fightstick on your radar.
