    Wasn’t sure if would like this controller having only used standard controllers, and it took a minute to get used to, but the lack of stick drift makes this controller really great. It’s lightweight and smaller, but comfortable.

    Really comfortable controller for me, personally. First and most important, this is a wired controller. It’s not wireless. I happen to have my Series X hooked up to my 19 inch LED Computer monitor. My room in my apartment isn’t very big. So, my Windows PC is connected to the same monitor as by XBseriesX and NSwitch. Everything is within four feet of each other on my desk. I only sit 3 feet from my LED widescreen. That’s my setup. The controller, as I’ve stated, is really comfortable to hold. However, I think people with really big hands, who find the XB Elite 2 comfortable, will not like the feel of this controller. They might find it too small. The set up was really easy. I just read the instructions and hooked it up. Then connected a pair of “in ear” wired ear buds into the audio jack and started playing Call of Duty. So far, there has been no “Stick drift”. The sticks don’t use mechanical connections to move around. Instead they use Hall Effect joysticks, so there should be now stick drift. I will repeat, that what I like the most is the comfort. Since there is no rechargeable battery, the controller is lighter. This adds to the comfort. The soft ware is easy to use and I programmed the rear buttons to the L3 & R3 function. The software is downloadable from the XBox App Store and is free.

    Good but not great

    To start, I bought this because I needed a controller that was mostly reliable, had back buttons and Hall effect joysticks. This controller offers that. After use of a few months it hasn’t shown almost any signs of wear or tear any where on the controller physically, but there was a major issue with the wired controller wire it came with. After a while the controller started randomly turning off and it became a more regular thing the more I used the controller. I searched up what the issue could be and it said the wire it came with was the issue. I ended up luckily having another usb c controller wire to replace it and it works just fine now with no issues.

    Bought the Gamer G7 SE for use with desktop computers. It works well and the controls are responsive. Using Linux, it is recognized and Steam allows for calibration and adjustment to dead zones. About the only thing I would like to see is the X logo glowing when it is plugged in, but that has no effect on gameplay. It looks nice, is well packaged, and has a good quality cable included.

    Feels extra light like it's cheaply made, but it works fantastically so far! Where it has hall effect triggers and sticks I don't have to worry about getting sick drift either! I've seen others complain about other cords not work but I've not had any issues using other cords so it's probably about the quality of the cords you try to substitute.

    This controller maybe only has 2 paddles or back buttons but the software makes this controller super programmable and even offers stick drift options within the menu and profiles that are easy to switch based on the game you're playing 10/10 value and not breaking the bank.

    This controller has some major pros which everyone knows about: 1. 1000hz polling rate (even on xbox) 2. Good hall-effect sticks A few cons: 1. Only 2 back buttons 2. The sticks actually have quite a bit of drift on 0 deadzone settings 3. No customizable stick sensitivities 4. Mine randomly stopped working after a couple months, and nothing turns it back on

    Cant really beat the quality and feel for a remote thats around this price point. Would recommend on budget. Back paddles seem slightly less responsive then id like.

    It is so much easier to do different moves and things like that with the tabs in the front and tabs underneath the bottom it’s absolutely great! I’m thinking about getting some more! I got the controller probably about five weeks ago and my younger sister wants one too. The price wasn’t bad either and my fingers don’t cramp so that’s always a good thing. Heck I may even get one for my older son who is a constant gamer and his kids
