Once opened, you can find micro USB cable for charging and wired connection, optional support bracket, instruction manual and warranty card. GameSir G4s build quality is excellent. And looks stylish as well with silver, grey and black colours. Buttons with LED Lights make it looks even better. Look is not everything, ergonomics do. GameSir G4s does well in this department too. It fits on hands very well and the rubber grips give you soft and comfort feel.

The dual analog sticks, D-pad and A, B, X, Y buttons are well placed. Easily reach with your thumbs. Same apply to the L2/R2 triggers too. By the way, the left joystick and D-pad are exchangeable for simulator that does not support D-pad setting. And top of the analog sticks have soft rubber feel.
