The controller's multi-platform compatibility even extends to Switch, PC, iOS, Android, and Steam devices, making it an ideal choice for cross-platform gaming.

The precision and durability of the Tarantula Pro are further enhanced by its GameSir™ Tech. The GameSir Mag-ResTM TMR sticks combine the precise performance and low power consumption of traditional potentiometer sticks with the high durability of Hall Effect sticks, ensuring a higher and more stable polling rate. This innovative technology provides gamers with an incredible gaming experience through its smooth, instant, and durable performance. Additionally, the precision-tuned Hall Effect analogue triggers offer unrivalled smoothness and responsiveness, giving players a competitive advantage in any game.
