The biggest differences between the three controllers come down to features, triggers, polling rates, and extras. The Super Nova is the most advanced, offering Hall Effect analog triggers with trigger stops, a 1000Hz polling rate, a magnetic faceplate, a rubberized grip, RGB lighting, and a charging station. It also includes the wireless dongle, unlike the Nova, which requires a separate purchase.
The Nova has hair triggers instead of analog ones and a lower polling rate of 500Hz. It also lacks a magnetic faceplate, charging station, and rubberized grip but has a slightly larger 1200mAh battery.
The Nova Lite is the most basic, featuring standard analog triggers, a 900Hz polling rate, no back buttons, and a smaller 600mAh battery. It also lacks a gyro sensor, RGB lighting, and a charging station.
These controllers use the Gamesir Connect software app.
