GameSir G7 SE Wired Controller for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One & Windows 10/11, Plug and Play Gaming Gamepad with Hall Effect Joysticks/Hall Trigger, 3.5mm Audio Jack

I have used many different controllers since I started to game on them on pc since 2016. I know many in the pc master race don't look kindly on guys who use anything other than a keyboard and mouse. Its convenient. There are limited amount of buttons. So if you forget a prompt you don't need to open the options menu to figure the controls. I have used Scruff, Razer, and Nacon controllers. Actually several of them. This one feels good for the price. Firstly very low error rate. Even though this isn't a hall effect joystick. It's a simple potentiometer. But it is done well. It almost has the feeling of using a hall effect joystick. The software is simple. A trigger stop would have been nice. It can be switched on via a software. It's okay in performance. Coming to the switches. Why I went for this controller. After doing a lot of research I found out that this had mechanical face buttons. The clicks feel really good. It's intuitive using the d pad when playing a fighting game. Now let's address the elephant in the room. Yep as advertised. It does over 1000 hz. It feels snappy. It does. Nothing feels as good as to be able to line up a perfect headshot in your fav game. Now you can do that using a controller. It feels amazing moving up from 125 or 250 hz controllers. Even on an Xbox you can enjoy a 1000hz. Just one bummer. You can't use the headphone jack at that polling rate. All in all a win for Gamesir. I an loving it. Nice braided cord. Extra white faceplate. Feels good in the hand with its grippy feel. Why I said, a steal for the price. Sure you can buy a controller for on the cheap with a 1000hz. This just though...feels good. I mean the XYAB buttons feel as good as the Razer wolverine. Hell...those are expensive. This is one third the price. The software is a bit barebone but hey I am not complaining. All in all a winner...last but not the least. This doesn't give me sweaty palms and it has dual rumble motors which are quiet powerful.

Update (8th March 2025): Now it’s almost gonna be an year since I’ve been using this controller, and it still feels brand new.. Zero regrets!! The LB RB bumpers are still very responsive, and there’s zero stick drift as expected from the Hall effect module. Every other button is working like a charm. The braided USB C cable that came with the controller is still fine. No wear and tear at the corners or anywhere. It’s the best controller I’ve used till date, and no other controller comes close at this price range or even at a slightly higher price tag. Blindly go for this one if you’re looking to buy an Xbox controller.Original Review:I’ve always used Xbox original controllers, and never really bothered using any other controller. I’ve used the regular ones, special editions, and even the elite series controllers. They always had 2 major issues for me. The LB and RB bumpers being almost useless after a couple of months, and of course the stick drift. So I thought I’ll give this controller a shot as it’s only 300-400 /- more than an Xbox controller.I’ve been using this controller for the past 3 days, and I used it to play some FPS, and 3rd person shooters on my Xbox Series X.Coming to the pros:1. Controller feels light but, it is built very well. There are absolutely so squeaks or cracks.2. All the buttons feel tactile, and ABXY buttons have the right amount of travel to them, and are very similar to Xbox original controller. The other buttons like the Xbox menu, pause, back, share, mode, and the microphone mute switch (which should be there in every Xbox controller imo) are clicky rather than having the membrane feel to them. I got used to it in an hour of usage.3. The length of the USB C cable that is provided is good. It’s around 10 feet, and I can comfortably use it from my couch.4. Now coming to the Hall effect sticks, and triggers themselves (No more stick drift!!! At least for a very long time), they are excellent. I downloaded the GameSir’s nexus app, and calibrated the sticks after updating the controller’s firmware. They are extremely responsive. The triggers travel is very good and smooth. Extremely happy with this.5. The LB and RB buttons feel amazing too. They definitely look like they’ll last longer than Xbox original controllers, and the D pad is good as well.There’s nothing really bad about this one, and if I have to really nitpick then I guess the USB C end of the cable that goes into the controller is weirdly thin, and this makes finding a replacement cable a bit annoying but, the cable is a braided one so I don’t think it should have any issues.Give this one a chance instead if you’re gonna buy an Xbox controller.

Best Contoller you can get under 5k.The Hall Effect Anti Drift joysticks are awesomeAlso the triggers and vibration is great.And also customisation in app is cool.All in all the best value for money!!Go for it!!!

All features advertised live up to the hype, seamlessly connects to all apps on PC be it Steam, Xbox, or Epic .App for updates and customisation available in Windows App store, Easy interface to update firmware, and customize polling rate, button binds etc.Buttons and Joysticks are super reactive and give instant consistent feedback in game. Back paddles can be progremmed on the fly without app in a matter of seconds. Lack of bluetooth and battery makes the form factor small and light, should suit all play styles from claw grips to regular styles. Does not have features like macro and turbo buttons. Cable is reasonably long. Do note that this only works with cable provided so you need to take care it is handled properly.

this controller is really good. i just got it, tried it in a few games like spiderman, fifa, cod bo6 and im loving it. the lb and rb buttons are also of really good quality and everything feels premium. and the fact that i dont have to worry about stick drift anymore is the best thing about it. i really would recommend it if you are a pc gamer, i play on pc and i use gamebar a lot to record clips and screenshots and the compatibility of this controller makes it so easy to access gamebar since its similar to an xbox controller. these are my first impressions, i might update after months how my experiece have been.

Was great initially, but stopped working properly in a month. Constantly disconnects from the system erratically, tried different solutions to no avail. Very frustrating experience.

Long Braided cable. Premium build quality better than console controllers, mapable buttons at bottom, software does not keep running in background. 10/10 controller
