GameSir - G7 Pro 8k Wireless Controller for PC, Mag-Res TMR Sticks, Hall Effect Triggers, 8000Hz Polling Rate, Tri-Mode Connect - Black/Gold

This control is Freaking awesome! 10/10 recommend it. No more input delay, No more stick drift, and it comes with a bunch of tuning options. You can use recoil control options by fine tuning your stick curve in game, along with deadzone options like square and circle. I highly recommend this control if you want the best combination of quality and durability!

Really solid controller. Love the design and feel and the precision of the thumbsticks. The only downside is i didnt get a collectable card and the controller doesnt come with interchangeable sticks like the aimlabs version and they dont sell them separately yet either. 10/10 controller but i have to take points off for the missing card.

Unboxing was simple. I appreciated that the box was taped shut but had a strip for manually peeling it off, not forcing you to go find a knife or something to cut it with. Little touch, but appreciated. I DID initially wish though that there was SOMETHING to store stuff in. I’m just NOT a fan of things like this with multiple parts, and no place to store any of it. But then I checked the bottom of the charging base, and there is a pull out panel there, and inside a spot for those swappable buttons and the USB dongle. So well done! And I won’t even consider any controllers without underside programmable buttons anymore since those have become my default base requirement. My go-to controller is currently my Razer Wolverine Pro. Simple, responsive, quick and easy to reprogram on the fly without having to use some app. This has options for Bluetooth, wired, or 2.4GHz. It also includes a 3.5mm audio jack, mute button, and a fairly nice quality braided USB C cable. Ther are instructions for pairing with the Switch 1 and 2, Android, and Playstation. And the triggers have a hair trigger mode like most offer as well. There is also a calibration setting so you can try to get the sticks centered again if you experience drift. Sadly enough, nothing in the box for programming. You have to have a mobile device and scan a QR code to find those instructions. But it’s the pretty common method – in this case, the M button in the bottom center of the controller on top, press that with the button you want to program, and the X box button will flash slowly. Press the button you are mapping to that extra button, and you’re done. Again, this is how I prefer my controllers since it makes it easy to change things up quickly if you need to. That M button plus D-pad up or down will do volume up or down. What I am NOT a fan of – the molded piece around the USB C connector on the controller’s front edge. It prevents me from using the USB cable I already had there for such a purpose as this limits the size of the end of the cable. Got my gaming system going – a brand new 2026 Alienware desktop with a new ultra 9 processor, 64 GB RAM, and an RTX 5080. Not the highest end, but more than sufficient for my needs. Got the controller connected, fired up Destiny 2, mapped the bottom left button to the menu button as I use that for navigation and such as it’s easier to hit underneath than to hit the button on top. The bottom right extra button I mapped to the Y button since I use that to change weapons easily in the middle of a fight. And I was flabbergasted by the absolutely atrocious response I got from BOTH of those buttons. Completely unusable and inputting control moves that I’m NOT doing. I mapped the Y button to the bottom right button, and it was cycling through everything and even SQUATTING, which is a function of clicking the LEFT STICK. Not at ALL involved with the Y button I mapped. So I opened a web browser to go to their website to find out more info. I was in the US site, found a download for their connect software, and it took me to a page with Chinese only and I wasn’t going to start clicking things I could not read. Then I found I could download it from the MS store. Did that. I’m uploaded a screenshot of the program’s main page so you can see some of the granular control. But while in the middle of THAT, after programming the L4 button through the app, and getting ready to map the R4 button, I got the main "connect" page in the program and the controller was disconnected. Reconnected again, and went back to mapping as I wanted, and I see what probably happened making this so horrible when I simply tried to do what the little instruction book said, by doing the M button +L4, waiting for the light to blink, then hitting the button I wanted mapped. This may have defaulted to a different kind of setting, since within the program, you can map to mouse, keyboard, numeric keypad, controller, or macro. I wonder if some macro setting was what was screwing me up. But that means this loses one of my main requirements – easy to swap buttons on the fly. But what it DOES introduce is some pretty amazing possibilities for macros and multiple things happening with that single button press. I stuck with my standard mapping, doing it via the app this time, then went back into Destiny 2 to test if it was functional as expected. And now everything was fine. Vibration is outstanding on this. My complaint here is the two missing buttons on the bottom. I’m so used to four mappable buttons down there this is really throwing off my gaming. But the controller itself is excellent. Feels just fine in the hands, the shape fits perfectly the curve of the fingers when you hold it. Buttons are really nice, a solid feel to the press. No mushy questionable presses. And again, I really like the rumble motor here. The charging base – this is very frustrating as far as getting the controller to charge. It can be a bit of a pain to get it to sit just right. Sometimes no matter how much I try it’s almost impossible to actually get it CHARGING when it’s on this dock, as if the dock is just slightly misshaped or something. I played around with the motion control, but that’s not something that would ever benefit me I think. Maybe if I could tie endless movement to it, but it seems to only work for the left stick for short bits then resets back to zero and I’m unable to find a way round it. And when binding it to the right stick for aiming, the right stick was rendered nearly useless since it was now a very slow input. There are plenty of adjustment options in there though, but since I’ve never dealt with this, I’m unfamiliar. And at the moment there is nothing on their support pages at all about the G7 Pro 8k. But since I won’t be using this option, none of this will impact me. Stick responsiveness is excellent. I had no issues with drift or lag while running wireless. Once I got past the initial programming issues before I downloaded the app, everything just worked as expected. Sides and bottom have a good texture, but I wish the top side where it is held was a bit less slick plastic and more of something with some friction. And back to the app – endless options for customization beyond what I’d ever need since I don’t game professionally, even to the point of setting different curves for the various actions and how you want them to exactly happen. This is a gamer’s dream giving them total control over basically every aspect of things. The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is that the bottom really should’ve had two more buttons for the fingertips. I’m used to ones under the middle finger and under the ring fingers, and having only two down there really loses opportunities for me. Yes, they have to more up inside of the triggers on the front end, but so does my Razer and I don’t ever use them, they’re just not as convenient. But great finish, great feel, great responsiveness, and amazing motors for the vibrations.
