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 (White)

I can't say enough about how great this controller has been to me, even regardless of its price point. The analog sticks and triggers have very smooth linear activation, the hall effect components are worthy of the hype in my opinion. There is no friction in the movement of the analog controls, and the "spring" resistance feels just right for me. The ABXY and d-pad buttons are dome switches, which is just what the Microsoft Xbox controller feels like. The other buttons including the rear buttons are micro switches. If you're not sure what that is, they're somewhat like a mouse click but take a bit more force to activate than a mouse (too little resistance in the switch would be bad, and these feel good.) The tops of the sticks are not concave like the Xbox controller, which has a different feel, but not one that bothers me or impacts performance personally. The analog triggers have a more aggressive anti-slip texture to them than the Xbox controller. The size and overall feel of the controller otherwise feels just like the Xbox controller to me. The weight of the controller feels perfectly acceptable, its definitely lighter than the wireless Xbox controller with batteries in it, but also not as light as an empty one. I have no complaints, it doesn't feel cheap. The cable that comes with this is really high quality. It's covered in braided material but not overly rigid. The molded heads on both ends are very thick and strong, and the USB-C end that fits into the controller is very secure - I don't really have any concerns about it wiggling around or breaking the connector by dropping it on the cord or something. The controller has lots of features that standard Xbox controllers don't. I found that game support for the bottom buttons is not really as good as I thought it would be - some games just don't register the input. Everything else works as expected. There's an added "M" key that works like a function key, unlocking some on-the-fly adjustments. If you install the GameSir Nexus app in windows you can set up to three profiles that are saved directly to the controller (not the PC). You can use the M key and the ABXY's to switch between the controller's defaults, and your three stored profiles. If you're using the headset jack on the controller, there's a handy mic mute button next to the 3.5mm jack, and you can use the M-key in combination with the d-pad to control the overall volume of your headset, and the voice to game volume ratio (to an extent). The profiles let you change things like button mappings, deadzones, and vibration. So far, it would seem you can only re-map buttons that are internal to the controller - there's no way to assign keyboard shortcuts to the buttons for instance. The one thing I found this useful for is to re-map the stick button clicks to the rear buttons, which I find useful because trying to trigger the stick switch while aiming/steering/looking/whatever usually causes me a non-zero amount of grief. Using the Nexus app for windows you can also test your inputs, view the analog stick values and real-time movement, calibrate the analog controls, and update the firmware. They recently published a firmware update (v6.28) that allows you to increase the polling rate from the default 250 to 500 and 1000hz (effectively 4ms, 2ms, and 1ms control response), like you can with the Razer accessories I have. Unfortunately the 500 and 1000hz polling settings still come with a "work in progress" warning and cause some issues. You cannot, for instance, use the headset jack with the higher polling rates. Also when I turn the polling rate up, it starts to generate some odd input "spasms". My right stick randomly whips a 180, and sometimes my left and right triggers activate for no apparent reason. Everything goes back to normal with the default polling rate though. Eventually they'll fix this, I'm sure. It's not a deal breaker for me in any event, as I really can't tell the difference between 4ms and 1ms. The front top plate is magnetically affixed and stays securely in place. Other than the obvious cosmetic implications, cleaning is the only practical reason I can think to have a removable top plate. There seems to be anti-friction rings around the analog sticks, maybe if those wore out one day it could be a meaningful replacement, but I predict that replacement face plates would be long out of stock before I would need to replace those.

I absolutely would, and have, reccomended this controller to anyone who is in the market for something cheap but also with good performance and quality. As someone who has played with both high end and low end controllers, I can say that this is my go-to controller for day to day playing. What it lacks in built in assistance from the xbox system (custom setups, sensitivity, etc.), it easily makes up for in other features such as magnetic-based joysticks which have completely eliminated stick drift. Pros: -Extremely low price for the quality. For being on the cheaper end of controllers, the feedback and performance is extremely smooth and responsive. Over the past year and a half of using this roughly every day, I've had little to no long or short term issues on this end. -Removable front makes customizing, painting, and cleaning easy -Comes with a very long and hardy cord for wired gaming -Back buttons, level control for the triggers, and built in mute button give the taste of higher tier controllers such as the more expensive official Xbox elite controllers. Cons -B button lost sensitivity in a couple months, though that may be a personal issue over an actual issue with the controller -After roughly a 5 months the top part of the wire that connects to the controller frayed completely, showing the inner wires. Though this is a cheap fix with electrical tape, or a cheap replacement that is assisted by the fact that the wire is removable. -This is a wired only controller. I personally prefer wired controllers over controllers that require charging or battery replacements, though this is important to point out for those who do not prefer wired only controllers. Though other non-wired versions of this controller do exist!

I want to start by saying I was in a bmstate of shock when I happened upon this controller, I was playing an fps on Xbox called PUBG and my Xbox wireless controller started malfunctioning buttons were registering that they were being pressed when they weren't and the joysticks were sticking and it just felt terrible. So I went looking online. Stumbled upon the gamesir g7 se and man let me tell you what. This thing is great. The Nexus gamesir app is a little confusing at first but once you get the hang of it the amount of bells and whistles that come with this controller are astounding now some people won't like it because it is a wired controller. It does not support the use of batteries or battery packs but the braided cable that it comes with is really strong and extremely long. You are able to unplug the controller so you can store it easier. The programmable buttons on the back are really well designed and have blocking mechanism so If you don't want to use them they will remain flush against the bottom so it feels just like a regular controller and the Hall effect sticks are what I really was looking for in a new controller because if you have ever owned a console you know that one things stays the same, after a few months of use the old controllers would start to get the dreaded stick drift. With these baby's you can say good bye to that age old problem of peasants haha. I digress... There is an extra button in between the right joystick and the dpad called the M button which you use to map buttons or unmap buttons. But it serves multiple purposes one if you press and hold the M button and the left dpad it will turn the game volume up and the voice chat down and vice versa. Which is really a game changer for today's games. The M button and up on the dpad turns the game volume up and vice versa for the down d pad button. Oh and the dpad is a membrane it's not stiff and crappy like the other doads of yester year. The triggers can be customized by making them hair triggers in your gamesir Nexus app you will discover that you will want some dead zone at the beginning of their travel because boy let me tell you it's embarrassing to shoot your teammate in the back on accident. The face plate of the g7 SE controller is magnetic and removable really easily and I believe it is also safe to be drawn and painted on though I haven't gotten the courage to let my daughter paint it for me. The joysticks can also be put into "raw mode" which gives you more precision for those sniper shots from a medium distance and the controller is light and very comfortable to use for hours on end. I will say there was only one thing I didn't like about the controller when I first got it and that was the fact that they moved the media and start button up near the top of the controller by the Xbox button so it was awkward for me to loot because I loot with my menu open mostly, but after I got my handhold on the controller adjusted and got used to it, I don't even know how I could have been slightly bothered by it. I know I missed some things that are gonna be really cool as well but my teammates are telling at me to ready up so I gotta go. If you play pubg on console. I will see you on the FPP battlegrounds

Excellent controller! My new favorite controller with my Xbox Series X. Read on as I compare this controller to others I've had and also how to successfully extend the cord length. Playing FPS games, I've gone through 3 official Microsoft Xbox controllers. Each developing stick drift after less than 6 months. I didn't really like the official controllers and I started using PowerA Spectra Infinity wired controllers. I liked the PowerA controllers better as I could set a shorter distance on depressing the two rear trigger buttons and also the inclusion of the custom programmable buttons on the back of the controller. However, I went through a few of these controllers too as they also developed stick drift after a number of months. The PowerA controllers have an app so I could try and calibrate the worn out sticks. This was only a temporary fix as it would decrease responsiveness of the sticks and they would eventually drift further. I've now bought this GameSir G7 SE Wired Controller. It is GREAT! Right out of the box the sticks have no drift. Excellent responsiveness and control. It has the two programmable back buttons and through the GameSir Nexus app, on my Xbox, I was able to set the rear triggers to be hair triggers. Everything is good, EXCEPT I needed more cable length. With my old PowerA controllers I was using a 9.8 feet USB 3.0 extension cable with no problem. That same cable extension would NOT work with my new GameSir G7 SE plugged into it. This led to experimentation. I had a 3.3 feet USB 2.0 extension cable and it worked fine plugging it into the Series X and then plugging the GameSir G7 SE's cable into that USB extension. However connecting two 3.3 feet USB 2.0 extension cables together and then the GameSir G7 SE cable did NOT work. I had a single 6.5 feet USB 2.0 extension cable that I tried. Also did NOT work. Here comes the interesting part: ADDING A NON-POWERED USB HUB Adding a non-powered USB hub allowed me to use longer extension cables with this controller. So my current setup is: Xbox Series X > non-powered USB hub > 6.5 feet USB 2.0 extension cable > GameSir G7 SE Controller cable > Controller. I was also able to get the longer 9.8 feet USB 3.0 extension cable to work, but it needed to be in the following order: Xbox Series X > 9.8 feet USB 3.0 cable extension > non-powered USB hub > GameSir G7 SE Controller cable > Controller. All seems to work well with the extension cables, including with a wired headset being plugged into the GameSir G7 SE controller. USB extension cables I've tested: Amazon Basics USB-A 2.0 Extension Cable, 3.3 feet = Works without needing a USB hub. 2x Amazon Basics USB-A 2.0 Extension Cables connected together, (3.3 feet each, 6.6 feet connected together) = Works, but needs a USB hub before or after the extension cables. Amazon Basics USB-A 2.0 Extension Cable, 6.5 feet = Works, but needs a USB hub before or after the extension cable. Amazon Basics USB-A 3.0 Extension Cable, 9.8 feet = Works, but needs a USB hub AFTER the extension cable. (Xbox > Extension Cable > USB Hub > GameSir G7 SE cable > controller) USB Hubs tested and working: Anker 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub, Ultra-Slim Data USB Hub with 2 ft Extended Cable, Model: AK-A7516012 (A7516) Insignia USB 2.0 4-Port Hub, Model: NS-PCH5420 An old "Xtreme Tech" USB 2.0 Hub from Five Below My guess is other non-powered USB hubs may work too. If this controller keeps working as well as it does now, and lasts longer than 6 months, I'm going to be very pleased!

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ **Good controller for the money** I've been using this controller for a few weeks and it's been great overall. The sticks feel really smooth, and I like not having to worry about stick drift. It's comfortable to hold and the buttons feel responsive. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it's wired, and the cable can be a little annoying at times. It also doesn't feel quite as premium as the official Xbox controller. Still, for the price, it's hard to complain. I'd definitely buy it again.

I have had nothing but trouble using console controllers with PC games, so I bought this; and I have never had a reason to regret it. Any game that has native controller support works with this just fine. Even games that don't can be made to work with it using something like JoyToKey or reWASD. It's also quite durable and shows no signs of wear and tear despite the fact I have owned it for a couple of years and haven't exactly been gentle with it. I specifically wanted a wired controller after having had nothing but trouble with bluetooth not pairing correctly; this one is simple, reliable, and gets the job done. I couldn't ask for anything more.

With all the positive reviews I was pretty excited to give this a chance. I was looking for something nice with more of budget friendly price. This controller seemed perfect. When first held it seems about the same size as your average xbox controller but significantly lighter since of course there is no battery pack. The analog sticks seems to be slightly smaller than the standard xbox so that felt pretty off to use. Not really my favorite part of the controller but I do have extra grip analog covers that I add on so it makes it bigger and ends up working well for me. The buttons are more tough to push so that is not something I liked but the triggers and bumpers felt nice and smooth. No issues there, in fact I really enjoy the feel of them. There are added buttons on the back that can be locked if you don't want to use them, so if you accidentally press them it won't click. That is such a nice touch. The D-pad feels about the same as your regular xbox controller so no complaints there either. The vibration can be a bit excessive as opposed to your standard xbox controller but if you download the gamesir app you can reconfigure this. So really, no complaints there. My biggest issue and which sucks because it is a big component of the controller and that is the headphone jack. I plugged in my Stinger 2 by HyperX headset and immediately it sounded like it couldn't register the headset. A bunch of static plays out, especially when I'm touching my volume wheel which can get loud. I have to find the right spot for the static to subside. When I do find the right spot the game sounds bad. It doesn't matter what settings I try to use it's almost as if the headset itself is bad. Now I know the headset is on the cheaper side but it never sounded this bad on a standard xbox controller. I am also incapable of actually speaking through the headset. Does not work for xbox party or game chat. For game chat it is actually worse. I tried playing overwatch and for some odd reason the audio that plays out isn't even my voice but the actual in game noise. I don't even know why that happens but there is no fix around that for me. I decided to test it with my old headset (older but more expensive) and the audio sounded so much better. I never would have guessed my headset isn't compatible with a controller but I guess that's the case, which sucks. But even though the old headset sounds better I still have to move it around so that I can hear the audio from both ears instead of one. It's pretty annoying. So while no static, the audio to both ear cups is inconsistent. As with both headsets, it does not work for game chat or xbox party. I can hear but I can't speak. If I plan to play with friends I have to use my old xbox controller. I've come to the conclusion that perhaps I recieved a broken or malfunctioning controller or more specifically, the headphone jack. My first time ever buying a gamesir and honestly I don't know if I will again. I might have gotten unlucky to get a faulty one or maybe there is an app setting I have to do for it to work but I haven't figured it out. I play on xbox so plug and play is really all I'm looking for. Great controller, feels well, plays well, and does not feel cheap but pro. But I got unlucky with a faulty one I guess. So be weary it can happen to you.

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.

الجودة اسطورية وتستاهل كل ريال فيه

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。
