GameSir Pocket Taco: $35 Controller for Portrait Gaming on the Go

Meet the Pocket Taco—because your phone deserved a snack, not just another case.

GameSir just dropped a $35 Bluetooth controller that clamps onto the bottom of your phone like a tiny, taco-shaped sidekick. It’s not just cute—it’s functional. Two shoulder buttons, four face buttons, a D-pad that actually feels like a D-pad, and a hollow bottom so you can charge while playing Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater on your lunch break. No awkward sideways grip. No bulky add-ons. Just pure, snackable portability.

At 60 grams and wrapped in soft silicone (so your phone doesn’t get mad), it’s basically a Game Boy that got a glow-up. The app lets you remap buttons, turbo-press triggers, and—yes—activate “keyboard mode” (because sometimes you just need to yell “NINJA!” in chat mid-level). The 600mAh battery? More than enough to survive three rounds of BopIt! GB.

It’s a gimmick? Absolutely. But it’s the right kind of gimmick—the one you didn’t know you needed until your thumbs started crying over touchscreen controls. Preorders are live, shipping March 15. And yes, a transparent version is coming soon. Because why not? We’re all just one taco away from retro bliss. 🌮🎮
