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.

As an avid gamer who's tired of battling stick drift and inconsistent inputs, the GameSir G7 SE has been an absolute revelation. This controller truly stands out from the crowd, especially with its build quality, in hand feel and game-changing Hall Effect sticks and triggers. The Hall Effect technology is a revelation. The sticks feel incredibly smooth, precise, and responsive, offering a level of control that standard potentiometers simply can't match. More importantly, they are inherently drift-free, meaning I can finally say goodbye to frustrating input errors and enjoy consistent performance for years to come. The Hall Effect triggers are equally impressive, providing a finely-tuned, analog feel that's perfect for racing games, shooters, and anything where granular input matters. You can truly feel the difference in how much more accurately you can feather the throttle or aim down sights. What truly elevates the SE is its super clean and stable software. The ability to customize virtually everything about the controller, from the dead zones and curves of the sticks and triggers to button remapping and vibration intensity, is a dream come true. The GameSir Nexus software is intuitive and user-friendly, allowing you to create custom profiles for different games and switch between them on the fly. This level of personalization means you can truly make the controller feel like an extension of yourself, optimizing it for your unique playstyle across all your favorite titles. Beyond the Hall Effect tech and excellent software, the controller itself feels fantastic in the hands. The ergonomics are comfortable for long gaming sessions, and the build quality feels robust and premium, especially considering its competitive price point. The additional back buttons are a huge plus, offering even more customization options for quick actions without taking your thumbs off the sticks. If you're looking for a wired controller that offers elite-level features without the premium price tag, the GameSir G7 SE is an absolute no-brainer. It delivers unparalleled precision, robust customization, and the peace of mind that comes with drift-free Hall Effect components. This controller has genuinely enhanced my gaming experience, and I can't recommend it enough!

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.

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.

Amazing controller for this price point. Feels great in the hand. Even the build quality is superb and overall this has exceeded all expectations. Connecting it was super simple and straightforward. The Nexus app allows you to customise the sensitivity and other functions with ease. I love hall effect joysticks and triggers. This is, in my opinion, one of the best wired controller you can get for this price.

The Xbox game pass subscription included with the controller was already redeemed by someone. This is purely stealing from the customers. I want a new redeem code. This is a big issue because that redeem code was worth 1000rs

Better than xbox controller

Works great

Dopo 10 fiorni di utilizzo costante su Apex Legends devo promuovere a pieni voti questo prodotto. All'inizio ero scettico, poi da.sibito mi sono accorto che il pad era qualcosa di interessante, non solo a livello di resa in game ma anche per la sua app molto intuitiva e senza tanti fronzoli.Che dire si xbox x si co.porta esattamente come un pad da 180€ forse anche meglio, su Pc l'opzione dei 1000hz è fantastica, prodotto che spero duri perché è un hioiellino, complimenti alla GAMESIR🤩 aggiornamento: rimandato indietro 2 pad uno per la levetta dx che scattava ( piegandola sinsentiva uno scatto) e laltro per drift dopo solo 2 mesi di gioco.😔

Cela fait bientôt un an que j’utilise cette manette GameSir G7 SE et elle est toujours nickel. Aucun stick drift, les joysticks répondent parfaitement comme au premier jour. La prise en main est très agréable, on sent tout de suite que la manette est bien pensée. Les matériaux sont solides, rien ne fait cheap, elle inspire confiance et durabilité. Je l’utilise exclusivement sur PC et je n’ai rencontré aucun problème de compatibilité ou de reconnaissance : elle est branchée, elle fonctionne. Franchement, pour un prix inférieur à une manette officielle, le rapport qualité/prix est excellent. Une très belle surprise que je recommande sans hésiter.

very good

Bought this to replace an old microsoft Xbox controller whose USB connection had been damaged. This is much sturdier than the microsoft one. High quality, no issues, feels great in the hands. It's been abused a lot in the household and still goes strong. Totally worth its price!

Tras probar muchos mandos de xbox con y sin cable, puedo decir que este mando es un muy buen sustituto del mando elite de xbox, el cual tambien tengo. La mayoria de comparaciones las voy a hacer respecto al mando elite ya que creo que es con el que compite, y, aunque la caracteristica destacada de este mando (Gamesir G7) es que se pueden intercambiar las carcasas frontales y se pueden pintar sl gusto, creo que han fabricado un mando que sobresale en muchos aspectos a destacar. Los materiales de construccion son muy buenos, incluso diria que se siente mejor que el propio mando que trae la consola ( en este caso comparado con el mando que trae la series x) siendo algo inferior al elite ( en los stick metalicos y las gomas que envuelven el mando que si trae el elite) pero que al costar un tercio del precio es mas que razonable. Es un poco mas ligero que el mando estandard de xbox con el cable quitado. Con el cable se nota mas pesado, da sensacion de calidad, no es plastico chinoso. La funcionalidad del mando es perfecta. Los stick no tienen desdzone y son muy precisos ( y se pueden ajustar al gusto desde la app ) y se sienten un poco duros (hay que hacer un poco de fuerza para moverlos) y lo importante es que no tienen holgura sin movimiento como el mando elite. Los botones se sienten muy bien al tacto y una cosa en la que supera al mando elite es que los botones ABXY son microswitches, con lo que no tiene toques fantasma, doble toques, ni falla al pulsarlos. Esto es un problema que si que tiene el mando elite y que en este Gamesir G7 me ha sorprendido mucho que funcione mejor que en un mando de 180€. Este mando lleva 2 botones traseros que se pueden programar sin la app, (usando una combinacion de botones) y via app. Se pueden mapear los botones que queramos en esos 2 botones y la posicion de estos es comoda y natural para pulsarlos, cosa que en el mando elite se hace un poco complicado el adaptarse al tener 4 botones traseros (palancas) mucho mas pequeños. Los gatillos son con sensor hall, con lo que son muy precisos, y si bien no tienen topes para recortar el recorrido fisicamente, se pueden ajustar via software desde la propia Xbox o PC, haciendo que se puedan usar en modo hair trigger ( disparo instantaneo casi con rozar el boton ) o ajustalo al gusto. La vibracion es totalmente adaptable, lleva la vibracion normal y la propia de xbox en los gatillos, y destacar que se pueden programar para que vibren al pulsarlos independientemente del juego, o que vibren a la vez que lo hacen los motores grandes del mando. Como añadido, tiene toma Jack 3.5 para auriculares y microfono y se puede ajustar el volumen y balance audio-chat desde el boton central de abajo y usando la cruceta, añadido que se agradece si se usa auriculares via cable. Respecto a la conexion con la consola se hace via cable usb. Trae un cable de 3 metros forrado de paracord de buena calidad, los conectores son de buena calidad tambien y el usb C que conecta con el mando encaja en un hueco para que no se salga ni se desconecte mientras juegas. La latencia es practicamente 0 al ser cableado. La App que se puede instalar tanto en windows como en xbox esta bien, es clara y sencilla de entender. En pc va perfecta y en Xbox no se me adapta bien al tamaño de la tele pero no influye en el funcionamiento de la misma. Con la app se puede configurar todo lo descrito anteriormente (sticks, gatillos, botones traseros, vibracion, etc...) Como punto negativo podria decir que no es inalambrico. Entendible ya que microsoft es muy cerrado para facilitar la licencia de su conexion inalambrica a algo que no sean auriculares (y ni eso funciona bien, por experiencia propia con unos marca Razer), no hay en el mercado mandos que no traigan si propio pincho RF que le añade latencia. Conclusion pero por las caracteristicas que tiene y el precio lo veo mas que razonable. Está a la altura ( e incluso me atrevo a decir que es mejor ) que los mandos de Razer (wolverine) o los de la marca powerA. Si la marca sacase un modelo igual al G7 pero inalambrico creo que seria un mando redondo. Estoy en proceso de que la artista de mi familia pinte la carcasa frontal y actualizaré con mas fotos cuando la tenga.
