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

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

This controller doesn’t get any stick like my previous controllers,I had for 6 years and everything about the controller has clicky button, you can customize the controller to your liking. And come with 1 month of gamepass!

I liked the controller; it may not be wireless, but it's a good option and has very responsive controls. For its price, I recommend it because it's a PRO controller, it has very good buttons, and it has more buttons than a normal controller.

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.

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.

BEST CONTROLLER EVER

I’ve been through so many "pro" controllers that start drifting after a month, but the GameSir G7 Pro is on a different level. The biggest game-changer for me has been the TMR thumbsticks. If you’re tired of Hall Effect feeling a little "floaty" or standard sticks wearing out, these are the answer. I haven’t had to replace or adjust them once, and the precision is wild—my shots actually connect exactly where I’m looking.
The mouse-click buttons are another huge win. There’s zero mushy feeling here; the actuation is instant, which makes a massive difference for quick actions and twitchy CQC fights. Plus, the 8K polling rate is no joke. On PC, the response time is basically non-existent. It feels like the game is reacting to what I want to do before I even finish pressing the button.
If you’re competitive and want a controller that won't give out on you during a grind, just get this. It’s easily the best value for the money right now.
Pros:
• TMR Sticks: No drift, super durable, and extremely accurate.
• 8K Polling: The lowest latency I’ve ever felt on a pad.
• Mechanical Clicks: Crisp, fast, and satisfying for shooters.
• Build Quality: Feels premium in the hand without the $200 price tag.
Cons:
• Wired only for the 8K performance, but the cable is high quality.

Amazing controller

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.

I was looking for a controller to replace my Xbox elite series 2 controller. This controller meets all the requirements at a fraction of the price. Although the Xbox elite series 2 controller still feels heavier and more premium this is still a very solid controller. The grips feel amazing. The buttons are clicky yet responsive, and the triggers feel good and perform well. There are no connectivity issues which I also experienced on PC. I hope they figure out and fix that issue. That’s the only reason I deducted a star. Everything else about the controller is really nice.

A very premium controller. The buttons are very tactile. The triggers have both a hair-trigger mode and the standard trigger mode. the pedal buttons on the back can be locked individually. D-pad can be changed to another style. Faceplate is removable if you want to see the inner workings. Rumble motors on both grips and triggers. Charging dock works well for storing the controller when not in use. Has a very long usb cable.

The 3rd trigger/bumper buttons are amazing in BFE6. Ended up locking the bottom buttons since I kept accidentally pressing them. Havent found a game that they are useful. Added generic kontrol freeks to the joysticks to make them slightly taller. Also few games have problems recognizing some of the buttons are being pressed on this controller, Normally docking and undocking the controller will fix that(when its the controller/gamesir software and not the game). Also the dpad kinda sucks. Its really clicky but it still works.

Best pro controller with insane value

Coming from the standard console controllers (switch pro, Xbox, dualsense), this is the best controller that I have used. Ergonomically it is very similar to a switch pro controller, and I really like the clicky face buttons. Ive been able to turn dead zones down to 1 for every game I’ve played and the trigger locks are insane for shooters.
I had trouble manually upgrading to the latest firmware back in February, and despite being out of bestbuy’s return period, gamesir helped me on their discord and mailed me a new one (which has no problem upgrading to 2.31)
This is a great value controller with all pro controller features and an easy recommend to anyone.

Hands down one of the best controllers i have had. I'm an gamer and let me tell you i have had 2 Xbox elite series 2 controllers and even a custom one from Moddedzone so three total. I would buy this over those in a heartbeat. Lower price but still preforms like a pro! Can not beat it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Only down side is they need more customizable faceplates and hand grips but that's cosmetics.

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.

Works really well, I like that it connects to all my devices. I’m not sure why it doesn’t run wirelessly, but it’s not an issue with how long the charger is. Sticks feel super smooth, and if you like buttons that don’t sink into the controller, you’ll like this one

My favorite controller in years. Feels good quality and the customization with the hardware and software has made this controller really fun to use. Top buttons are a game changer. Feels like a premium controller for a great price. Just wish the d-pad felt better.
