    Literally zero stick drift and no input lag. I have been using this controller for 2 years playing rainbow six siege and battlefield and I still have no problems with the sticks or buttons. 10/10 will buy again.

    This is a top notch controller for me. I’ve been using it to play various games on PC. The back buttons are responsive and have the ability to be locked to be static and disabled. The software allows for button remapping, deadzone adjustments, polling rates and more.

    Purchased two of these controllers as gifts and both broke within six weeks. Since it was outside of Best Buys return window, I had to go to the manufacturer for repair/replacement. Since it wasnt purchased directly from the manufacturer, they refused to do anything, even though they have a one year manufacturer warranty.

    A Blessing

    According to Reddit, this solves all the problems the Elite 2/Core and even standard Xbox controllers suffer from. Specifically the stick-drift issue. This has the new Hall-effect joystick technology that Microsoft for some reason still hasn't adopted. It has two back buttons instead of 4 back paddles that the Elite controller has but meh. IMHO hal-effect joysticks are the major game-changer. If you want ALL the bells & whistles get the TurtleBeach Stealth Ultra High-Performance controller but for the price, if you're a regular gamer like myself, get this G7. If you're a pc gamer, get the Vader 3 Pro (Amazon) for $50 on Prime Day/Black Friday. According to Amazon, this Gamesir G7 SE is a best-seller and has a high-rating 4.5/5 stars on Amazon. A newer version has just came-out on Amazon called the Gamesir G7 HE, which i've just ordered and available in a sexy black color with mouse-click sounding buttons, pre-loaded with latest software/firmware, and colored buttons just like the regular Microsoft controller. I hope BestBuy gets the newer version soon, if they do, ill buy it from them. The size is allegedly the same as stock, too. It's app is downloadable from the Microsoft store so you can update it's software to match performance that of the newer version.

    The best controller you can buy

    Impossible to get stick drift. Has back paddles, trigger stops, 1000hz polling rate. Insane value and super reliable. Def worth buying if you want an upgrade for less cost than other pro controllers. It’s fully sponsored and certified to work with Xbox / PC as well.
