GameSir appears to be preparing Fortnite-themed versions of its recently announced X5 Lite mobile controller for Xbox, based on new Amazon listings that surfaced ahead of any official announcement. The listings show several game-inspired variants, including Black Knight, Durr Burger, and Jonesy designs, giving the controller more options beyond its standard black-and-white colourways and the green Xbox 25th Anniversary Edition.
The Black Knight variant pairs a dark translucent shell with red thumbsticks and ABXY buttons, plus themed grip graphics matching the iconic skin. The Durr Burger model takes a louder approach, combining a teal body with orange controls and burger-themed artwork.
The Jonesy edition leans more into soldier aesthetics, with an olive-green shell, matching thumbsticks and D-pad inspired by the character's signature outfit, and subtle themed grip detailing. All three have the Xbox button on the right grip and the same telescopic design as the standard model.
Each variant also comes bundled with its own in-game perk code. The Durr Burger edition includes a code for the Extra Cheese Glider, the Jonesy edition comes with a code for the "On Your Mark" emote, and the Black Knight edition includes a code for the Storm Sigil Glider.
Under the hood, the Fortnite editions carry over the same upgrades that set the X5 Lite for Xbox apart from the original X5 Lite. These include MFi certification, physically swappable ABXY buttons, Hall effect thumbsticks and analogue triggers, a movable USB-C connector, and pass-through charging.
The controller telescopes to fit phones and compact tablets up to 213mm long, covering most smartphones and smaller tablets like the iPad mini, and weighs roughly 145g. As an Xbox-licensed, MFi-certified controller, it supports Xbox Game Pass, with new subscribers also getting one free month of Game Pass Ultimate.
