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!

I have been playing both FPS and RPG PC games with the gamepad and it’s a very solid experience each time that surpasses the performance of typical console controllers. While the color scheme may not be for everyone, it actually looks better in real life. This is not my first Gamesir controller so I know what to expect from the gamepad. Everything is as I expected. Design and Built Quality The controller looks and feels solid. Although I haven't dropped it yet, it seems sturdy enough to withstand accidental falls. The black and gold color scheme is quite eye catching, especially with the signature of Xiao Hai the world champion of fighting games on the right side of the gamepad. The whole appearance is actually a set of changeable plates. The color scheme creates the impression that this gamepad is worthed so much more, the kind of sponsored esport player would use in a competition. When the plates aren't attached, the controller appears as a transparent yellow. It has a balanced weigh - neither too light nor too heavy. There’s anti-slippery rubber surface on the bottom of the gamepad and it makes gripping the gamepad feels natural and stable. All the buttons have the right amount of response and clicks. Button placements follow typical XBOX controller with some extra configurable buttons (L4 and R4). The trigger buttons are configurable for both racing/ shooting and fighting games. In terms of connectivity, the gamepad supports both Bluetooth and wireless dongle/ RF connection. I use the dongle exclusively and it feels responsive. There’s a headset jack, which works really well connecting my headset. I would have preferred if it included a built-in microphone, but it does not. Performance Now there’s a lot of jargons and techs involved but basically this is an anti-drift and highly responsive controller. In my testing, I love the performance. I experience no stick drift, and expect such to be the case for at least the duration of 2-year warranty. The gamepad is as responsive as I expected. Gaming feels natural and smooth. Buttons and triggers press are very responsive. The whole gaming experience with the gamepad is just great. Conclusion This is a solid choice for PC gaming with gamepad. It improves the XBOX controller's design, offering enhanced features and functionality for PC gaming. It's sturdy and works well for RPG and FPS games. Pros: XBOX buttons placements with more customizations and extra buttons Anti drift and high responsive inputs Bluetooth and wireless dongle Headphone jack works well for both audio in and out Cons: No built-in microphone

I am excited to have the GameSir G7 Pro 8k Wireless Controller for PC, Mag-Res TMR Sticks, Hall Effect Triggers, 8000Hz Polling Rate, Tri-Mode Connect as I am frequently playing games on my PC. I love the look of the black and gold for the faceplate and the charging dock. The faceplate is easily removed if you desire to swap it out, but I rather like it the way it is. The feel of this controller is quite nice - the grip is rubberized on the back side providing a secure grip and the controller itself feels well-balanced in my hands. And when the vibration starts in the grips... don't even get me started! To charge this, you can plug the included USB cord into the charging dock and set the controller on it. There is a brief light that will appear at the bottom of the dock to let you know the connection was successful. You are also able to charge it directly via the USB cord plugged directly into the top of the controller. This G7 Pro also provides connectivity for your audio via the 3.5mm port at the bottom of the controller or wirelessly. This controller utilizes the GameSir Connect app. for customization. With this, you are able to switch the action of each and every button, if you would like. To map the 4 programmable buttons (mini R5 & L5, and the 2 back paddles R4 & L4) you can record a macro with up to 32 steps! Also, the 2 back paddles can be locked (which is what I do) with just a switch. I found that I was hitting those paddles unintentionally and that would cause unintended results. There are 3 possible ways to connect this controller to your PC - you can use it wired with the included USB-C to USB-A braided cord, you can go wireless with 2.4Ghz and the included dongle or use bluetooth. Personally, I have found 2.4Ghz is my preferred connection for more control and less drops. Both wired and 2.4G wireless, you can achieve an 8K polling rate, if you have a PC that will support that, which I do not have. I am just fine with 1K polling which is more than sufficient for me. The supplied wireless dongle conveniently stores in the bottom of the charging dock when not in use. They have also included 2 extra gold color options for the D-pad which is easily popped off after removing the faceplate for switching it out. Those 2 extra D-pads will also fit in the bottom of the charging dock for storing which is awesome because I was thinking they would surely get lost. Overall, I am having a lot of fun with the GameSir G7 Pro 8k Wireless Controller for PC, Mag-Res TMR Sticks, Hall Effect Triggers, 8000Hz Polling Rate, Tri-Mode Connect. It is great to look at, feels great in my hands and performs well. At my level of play, this controller provides all the settings I would want. I have tried out a lot of controllers for use with my PC and some are too big for my hands, or too heavy to hold for extended periods or just uncomfortable to use, or even too complicated, but this one is perfect for me. I would HIGHLY recommend this controller.

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.

I used the G7 pro to play 1v1 combat games and some racing games and the controller is a step up in every respect when compared to stock controllers. The G7 includes TMR stick along with trigger stops and some remappable buttons, it even includes a 6 axis gyroscope and rumble motors. This is huge as a lot of pro controllers tend to do away with certain functions such as rumble motors , and although some people feel they are gimmicky I think they add something to the game play which can’t replicated. All of the micro buttons on the G7 work perfectly, the only real complaint I have on the buttons is that the bumper buttons are the traditional buttons instead of micro. The micro click is satisfying and they feel like they will last for 100’s of gaming hours. The G7 software is excellent, you can adjust to your hearts content and all of the changes can be made quickly and easily. I have noticed other gaming controller software is usually buggy however this was not the case with G7. Everything was at my fingertips and the software was responsive and easy to use. Overall the controller is a excellent step up in gaming , the adjustments help you fine tune your game play. There is little to no lag when gaming and the software for adjustments is one of the best on the market. The included charging pad is a excellent so your not always having to plug it in to charge even though the color may not be for everyone. Pros: Cons: -Micro buttons -A bit small for bigger hands -Software -bumpers buttons are not micro -Rumble motors -charging pad -Battery life

Love this controller! I have the gamesir g7 pro that came out last year and it’s very similar. I can’t feel the difference in the pulling rate but it operates the same just different software. I love all the customizations and the gold color is really nice. My fav controller so far

Ignore the first review. The sticks are different than the regular G7 Pro. They're tighter and slightly more precise. When you factor in the price, the quality, and the low latency this controller provides, it's an excellent choice.

I was blown away by this controller. I don't game competitively, just casually. And this controller feels amazing and is so responsive i never realized what I was missing out on.

The controller works great. It did not come with the promo holographic card and have not been able to use the 8k option. I do love the mouse click buttons

This is an amazing controller, and one that really hits the right points in terms of feel and accuracy/responsiveness. First thing I noticed right away is how responsive the controls all are, including the D pad which actually works well. There are a number of controllers I have tried over the years and I've yet to try one like this one. The gyro definitely adds a level of precision to aiming and other movements that other controllers just can't. So far I have found very little about this controller that I don't like. With the software, you can completely customize this control to your needs and really get a customized experience that really is essential to be competitive in many game titles. It comes with extra d-pads and a charging station which makes it super easy to keep this controller charged up and ready to go for your next gaming session. The included collector card is pretty cool and a nice touch but the real reason to get this controller is the customizability it offers and how responsive and tight the controls on this controller are. I'd absolutely recommend trying this one out, I so far have loved using it and can't find anything I don't like about it.

What an awesome controller. I got this for my PC actually but my son uses it on the xbox as well. I have been playing Hades II on PC for this review. Setup was as simple as pluging in the USB adaptor to my PC. This gave me basic functions and I was off playing my game! There are several programable buttons(2 rear, 2 shoulder. I like this over the 4 rear! Buttons on this are smooothhhhh. It can only explain it as soft press. Almost cushioned. You do get optional D-pad inserts. I kept the default. I love the charging cradle. Looks nice on my desk and give me a "home" for my controller. And I dont ahve to trace/find a cable to charge it when i'm done playing. Especially since my gaming sessions are quick 15min intervals! Controls are nice and responsive. I haven't noticed any lag. Its builts sturdy and textures feel great. Lots of little optiosn to setup to your designed playing style. Overall, Best PC controller I've used (including elite2) Looking forward to using this for the forseeable future. New favorite!
