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 bought this controller after using the standard Xbox controllers for most of my life. It introduced me to a whole new category of inexpensive controllers that are surprisingly well designed and perform far better than expected. I started with the G7 SE, and it quickly became the best controller I had ever used. After several months, the bumpers began sticking, and it turned out that a small plastic piece inside had snapped from repeated use. This doesn’t seem to be a widespread issue with these controllers, so I’m assuming I just got unlucky. Because of that, I’m still giving the controller five stars. After that controller broke, I decided to try one of their newer models, the Cyclone 2. It was almost perfect, but the sticks didn’t feel quite as good to me as the ones on the G7 SE. That’s completely personal preference, and most people would probably say the Cyclone 2 is the better overall controller. After spending some time with it, I eventually decided to pick up the G7 Pro. All I can say is that the G7 Pro is one of the nicest controllers I’ve ever used. It doesn’t have any obvious downsides, and there’s even a PC-only version now with an 8k polling rate, macro functions, and other extra features. If I had never bought the G7 SE in the first place, I probably wouldn’t have gotten into the GameSir ecosystem or realized how good a “pro” controller can be without the insane price tag. That said, I probably wouldn’t recommend the G7 SE as much anymore since the G7 Pro and Cyclone 2 are both better controllers in my opinion, and in some ways objectively improved. It also depends on whether you’re playing on Xbox or PC. For PC, I would definitely recommend the Cyclone 2 or the G7 Pro. For Xbox, the options are really the G7 SE or the G7 Pro. If you’re willing to spend the extra $30–40 for the G7 Pro, it’s absolutely worth it.

I've spent hundreds, if not a thousand or so, of dollars on controllers over the years in my search for the perfect one. I thought I found it with the original Xbox Elite controller, which I sold off when the white version was released. For a year, that controller was my weapon of choice until the left joystick started to drift. I had it shipped off, hoping it could be fixed, but it was even worse when it was returned. Since then, I have had the worst luck with Elite controllers that either had drift right out of the box or buttons that needed to be pressed dead-center in order to work. Eventually, I gave up on the Elite controller and put gamepads from various other companies to the test. I bought a PowerA controller and several Razers. Buying extended warranties became a habit -- I normally don't purchase them, but controllers have limited 90-day to one-year warranties that don't cover enough of a controller's lifespan. Part of the problem is that modern-day controllers use potentiometers to determine how far or fast you move your joystick. Over time, the friction from components sliding over and under each other wears out until the tension holding your joystick at the zero-point becomes imbalanced. That causes stick drift -- your joystick is pushed or pulled away from the center. Hall effect sensors, which use magnets to detect the position of joysticks and triggers, will never drift -- in theory. Because the parts don't rub against each other, Hall effect sensors last a lot longer than your average gamepad that will eventually succumb to drift. I've used the GameSir G7 SE Wired Controller for a few weeks now, and it's been a great controller at a lower price-point than Microsoft's own standard controller. The controller has a build quality that feels similar to the standard controller with a sturdy plastic shell that doesn't feel cheap. The triggers were a little too sensitive out of the box, but after tuning them with the app and getting used to how much further they seem to stick out -- they're a little more pronounced, like upside down claws -- I haven't had any issues with them. The buttons feel fine without any mushiness or dead spots, and the sticks actually seem to be more accurate even with small nudges because you're not fighting the friction of the potentiometer. There are some features to the controller, like the buttons in the back, an app that lets you change a few settings, and some on-the-fly key presses you can do to change configurations that lift the value of the controller at its current price. I wish there were physical trigger locks, though the app allows for hair-trigger presses. I would advise that you immediately download and use the app before you game in order to calibrate the controller and set it up to your liking.

Muazzam bir gamepad. Gamepad gerçek anlamda yüzde sıfıra yakın bir circularity rate sunuyor (%0.1). Tetik tuşları inanılmaz hızlı, 1000hz hızda çalışan bir gamepad ve zaten gamepad kablolu olduğu için hiçbir kayıp olmadan çalışabiliyor. Orijinal Microsoft gamepadi ile kıyaslayacak olursak donanım olarak kesinlikle bu gamepad çok çok daha iyi. Ancak, materyal kalitesi Xbox gamepadi ile yarışamaz. Xbox gamepadinde ABXY tuşlarının baskısı zamanla silinmemesi için üstleri kaplı, daha iyi bir plastik kalitesi ve daha iyi bir dokusu var yani kolun tek eksisi bu bence lakin sunduğu donanım karşısında bu eksileri görmezden geliyorum çünkü her iki kola sahip olsam da özellikle Ninja Gaiden gibi tamamen reflekse dayalı oyunlarda rahat bir 10 kat fark oluyor. Analog çubukları ve kol genel olarak beyaz renkte olduğu için uzun süre oyun oynadıktan sonra çabuk kirleniyor gözle görülür şekilde. Gamepadlerinizi kolonya ile silmeyin yüzde 90-99 saflıktaki İPA ile ve pamuk ile silin aksi takdirde tetiklerde ve ABXY tuşlarında yapışkanlık hissi başlar.

There's no drifting. I was playing a game without any drift based settings and it drifted a bunch on 3 controllers and there's many complaints about the game on forums. When you fully push the stick to the edge and do circles with other controllers there's a bumpy feel. The gamesir has no bumps, nice and smooth, very nice. The left and right bumpers a very easy to press. The series x controller bumpers are too hard to press so I bind them to something rarely used in games. The gamesir bumpers are something I can use without fear of tendonitis. The buttons are mushy, good. I hate mechanical buttons they are audible over games and sound terrible, they also don't feel nice to press. The software is good, I can rebind everything so when a stupid game puts dodge on Y instead of B and doesn't provide any control settings, then I can change it in the software. The triggers by default are ultra sensitive, I had to change the range in the software as I kept accidently shooting in game. My complaints, The select button is way to close to the left stick, it's very hard to press compared to series x controller. I can't actually press it naturally without also pressing the left stick button. The only way to press it is moving the hand. It's horrible if map is bound to select and you have to use it often. Lucky there's two back buttons and I use those instead. There's no way to turn off the indicator light which sucks when playing in the dark. The controller colour is white, I like black.

It works well

前の奴のスティックのドラフトを機にドラフトに強いらしいこれを買った。 ぎっしりと心地よい重量感、テクスチャの質感の良さ、エッジがしっかり出た精密さを感じる見た目。どの要素も心地よく、本当に良い。 スティックの戻りやLRボタン群のバネ感も心地よく、一切ぐらぐらしない。特にLRトリガーは本当に押し心地が良い。 ただ、スティックを僅かに倒す操作はバネに邪魔されてかなりやりにくいのは難点か。一方でバネが良いからスティック弾きの入力には強いので、トレードオフ感はある。 これまで5000円以上のパッドを買うのは尻込みしてたが、3000円とかのパッド買うのがアホらしく感じる良い買い物だった。 高級って程でもない値段の割にこの出来は素晴らしいと思う。ゲームパッド買うならこんくらい出した方が良いんだなと学べた。
