I feel this controller overall is amazing. The price is worth it. Almost feel like it’s too cheap for how great it is. I previous had multiple Xbox elite series controller and they were horrible. I was very skeptical about going with a brand other than Xbox. The click on the buttons feel amazing and responsive. It is on the lighter side but doesn’t not bother me. The only complaint I have is the buttons on the bottom of the controller. I tend to press them on accident. I use this controller nightly about 4 hrs at a time. If you are looking for a great controller I definitely recommend this one.

You cat beat it with its price. The sticks and buttons feel great. The amazing things about this product you can remap any button to any button which you usually can’t. It works perfect with Arc Raiders and any game it doesn’t allow you to remap the buttons

I'm kind of a controller snob & I'm also one of those sick ppl that games on pc with controller. I own many many controllers (seriously I have a wall full and a problem)
The Xbox Elite 2 has been my go to for years for everything I play thats not a fighting game (pads and sticks for those). I've been through 3 of em. I bought this G7 pro because my friend swears by gamesir and because it was on sale for $60....I always saw gamesir and thought "mobile controller maker"..Boy how times have changed! This controller is phenomenal! Ultra responsive all around! Sticks, buttons, triggers and bumpers all feel great. I thought I would miss having all 4 paddles on back but NOPE! This setup is way better to me. The 2 extra buttons up by the bumpers and 2 paddle buttons. And they are all super easy to map on the fly. This is seriously "$200+ pro controller" performance for a fraction of the price. If you are in need of a controller, I highly recommend giving this a shot. I'm a Gamesir believer now.

Got this bad boy on sale and I am really enjoying the controller so far.
The controller itself feels well built and is pretty comfortable to hold. My hands are probably on the larger side and some controllers are made pretty small these days. This unit fits in my hands nicely and is comfortable to hold for gaming sessions of three hours or more. Connection is great both with the USB dongle and bluetooth. Haven't tried wired yet but having that option is nice if needed. The placement of the extra buttons on the back is ideal imo and they are effortless to push without having to reach anywhere. The software for this controller has lots of great settings such as setting your own button layouts. The only complaint I have about this controller is that you can't create your own macros with multiple inputs for the same button unlike some other controllers I've owned. However I consider that a minor issue and hasn't really been too inconvenient. If you're on the fence about this controller I wouldn't hesitate. It really is a nice piece of equipment

Great controller overall, buttons and sticks feel good, clicky, and responsive. I also like the red/black color and the dock it comes with for charging.
The only issue I have is the D-Pad, sometimes when I hit left, it registers an up input and can mess things up when I go through menus and things where the D-Pad is useful. I ordered small O-rings and put them on the circles under the D-Pad to help. That fix has helped avoid the accidental up input now, but I shouldn't have had to do it on a brand new controller.

This is my new favorite game controller and for good reason. Not only does it feel comfortable and premium, but the hall effect joysticks protect against stick drift (and gamesir includes them on ALL models), and the triggers feel built to last, especially compared to controllers like the elite 2 which seem to mess up within a year. Well worth the price. My only gripe is it sits super loosely on the charger. Would be nice if it snapped in magnetically or something as it's not always clear if I've put it back to charge properly. Other than that, the controller itself has been a joy to use.
This is by far the best controller I’ve ever used!

I don’t have much bad to say about this controller. It feels good in my hands and functions well. What more could you need.
Pros: The buttons feel responsive and clicky, which is preferable to me over the mushy feel of most controller buttons. I love the rubber grip on the controller, as my hands tend to get sweaty and this helps with that. You can pair with any other bluetooth device(ios excluded), and the software for customizable controls and features is endless). Also the charging dock for PC is fantastic and seamless connectivity when you take it off the dock.
Cons: the bumpers feel a bit on the cheaper side, and the dpad is not great. Thats it. Lol

everything works great, Smooth and even has its own app to customize the controller even more. Even better the controller has tmr sticks which means no stick drift.

I’ve bounced around the “pro” controller market for a few years now, having had the Wolverine V3 Pro, Nacon Revolution 5, Xbox Elite, and many others. This one scratches just the right spot. Not super expensive, and just a great quality for PC. I haven’t tried this controller on Xbox, but I’ve ran wired on PC and achieved 1000hz polling rate on gamepad tester.
My only complaint is the d pad. It works well, however, the feel isn’t great. It’s definitely the cheapest component of the controller. This is a small complaint.
Overall, the reviews speak for themselves on the G7 Pro. Excellent product.

Very amazing controller worth every penny. I like that it is comfortable and not heavy and that everything feels precise with every movement I make. Only con is that I wish it had back lit buttons or some kind of rgb lighting that would be cool.

Amazing controller for PC gaming! The grips are perfect for sweaty hands, the response time is super fast, and the PC app offers plenty of customization. It works wired, wireless with the USB connector, or Bluetooth, and the sticks feel smooth and comfortable with no drift at all.
I would recommend this to a friend

Works well and software on pc (Gamesir Nexus) is straightforward. Would recommend for the price, custom controllers get crazy but this one checked every option I would add. To buttons but the trigger was a learning curve but they are easy to adapt to and useful.

What a great controller and unbeatable price. The TMR sticks and mouse click triggers are outstanding. If out performs alot of the higher price controllers that I own. My only complaint is the Dpad but I barely use it. So it is not a deal breaker for me. Great job Gamesir on this one!

It’s a surprisingly premium feelings controller for the money to a point I really don’t know why you would bother with those $150+ ones. It has a nice weight to it and the sticks and buttons all feel very tactile and responsive. My only real nitpick is the dpad, while perfectly functional, just has this slightly hollow feeling plastic that just feels a bit cheap to the touch but to be fair that could just be me being picky. Overall an excellent choice if you want a solid controller for your PC or Xbox if that’s still your thing. Not to mention the software on PC is very robust and lets you dial in pretty much whatever settings you want to match your preferences.

I’ve had the controller for about a week now and there have been no issues connecting or with the buttons registering. The extra paddles are a little bit weird getting used after using the elite series 2 but they definitely feel more comfortable pressing them.

Literally the best controller money can buy for Xbox. Amazing price for pro controller that will LAST. Especially for FPS games, One negative is the dpad. If you play fighting games or games that require you use the dpad for precise inputs I would do the O-ring mod which is putting small rubber rings in the dpad. you can order on amazon. Also first time using a controller with 2 extra BUMPER buttons and its literally been so useful. Also only ps5 kontrol freeks fit on this, the xbox ones are too small!
