Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a professional level controller and it expects a professional level of knowledge to setup properly. A few things to note: The analog sticks might seem like they have drift at first, because they aren't calibrated right out of the box. You'll need to use the Gamesir software to calibrate them. When using the controller in 1000hz mode on PC, you will see the controller disconnect and reconnect whenever you open or close the Gamesir app. This is normal. For normal game play in 1000hz mode, it will be detected as an Xbox 360 controller, for complicated but normal reasons. While the Gamesir app is open it will be seen as an Xbox One controller. The dongle and the controller both need to be updated, separately. The controller must connect with a cable to update. The auto on/off feature with the dock is fantastic. Disable Steam Input on all games you need to use 1000hz on. Steam Input will limit you to 500hz! In case it isn't clear, you cannot use 1000 hz on Xbox mode. Xbox is locked to 250hz on all controllers. Also, Xbox wireless still requires the dongle to be plugged in. Not technically "native" in my opinion but it's fine. Battery life is a non issue if you use the included dock as intended. And finally, the very useful included charging dock also has a chamber in the bottom where you can plug the dongle in, then plug a cable from the dock to your PC/console! This prevents wear on the dongle and instead will wear out the replaceable cable any time you need to unplug your controller. Highly recommend for competitive controller FPS players that aren't ready for an 8k controller yet.

I i own 2 gamesir controllers. One for my pc and one for my xbox. They are both great. Customizable paddles that can be locked in place when you arent using them and extra trigger buttons. The triggers can be changes to a mouseclick, reducing travel distance needed for shooting games. TMR sticks, and the triggers are hall effect. You can customize the controller with new plates too. There is a pc and xbox app where you can make different profiles for different games and remap your buttons. The controllers are more comfortable than original xbox controllers as well. The sound when you press buttons is a quiet click as opposed to the orignak xbox controllers loud click. I highly recommend this controller to anyone looking to replace their original controller that ended up with stick drift or just looking to upgrade. I do wish there were more color options.

Where do I even start? The GameSir G7 Pro Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Edition is an absolute masterpiece — inside and out. The blue and gold design with the Wuchang silhouette and Dragon Scale-inspired texture looks incredible, and you can actually feel the detail on the layered resin grip. This isn’t just a pretty face, though. The TMR sticks are silky smooth, the Hall Effect triggers feel precise and satisfying, and the 1000Hz polling rate on PC means near-zero input lag. The four extra macro buttons and trigger locks are a bonus for competitive play. Toss in the charging dock, a braided USB-C cable, and a month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and the value is unreal. If you want a controller that performs like a beast and looks like a collector’s item, this is the one. 10/10, no contest.

Design and added functionality are great. Very comfortable wireless functionality at about half the price of the other “pro” controllers.

Controller movements are responsive. Quality material and feel. A

I like the responsive of the buttons and sticks. It’s a good weight and has the he same battery life of a regular Xbox controller

Over built for the price & is comparable to the G7 pro Zenless one for lower cost

The D-pad doesn’t seem quite fitted for the hole and makes a scraping and creaking noise. The left trigger sometimes inputs on it own and is annoying.

This controller is the best wireless controller I’ve used for my Xbox. It functions exactly like officially licensed Microsoft controllers because it is! The benefit is that it works exactly like you would expect (it does need the dongle). This controller also has additional bells and whistles that I haven’t seen before, making it the reason it’s my primary controller. The main benefit I have from this is controller are the back buttons like this. I’ve been using them for racing games to accelerate and brake. It’s also great that I can lock these for games where I don’t want to use them. Meaning, once locked, if I inadvertently hit those buttons, they won’t impact my game. This controller is sharp looking. I am not into that specific game, but I know the feathers are a big part of the game. I also really like the swappable face plates and even the D-Pads. I took the feathers off and it has a clean see-through to the inner workings. It’s definitely a nice clean look. This controller also has a dock that looks great. I have been charging the controller on a table next to my chair, so it’s easy to turn on and start playing from a full charge. I’m just really pleased with all of the features of this controller and expect many people will feel the same, especially if you still use the regular controller that came with the system.

This is my first product from GameSir and I am not disappointed. I have had many PRO controllers from different brands and they all worked alright but none of them compare to this controller. For starters, the cosmetics are awesome. I absolutely love the design. The colors and accents are great. My favorite part is the feathers, on the grips, are textured. It gives it a better experience for me. The magnetic face and swappable D-pad are great and very easy to use. The lockable tear paddles and triggers are also a nice touch. This controller has a nice weight to it and feels really good when gaming. The buttons and joysticks are super responsive. I really like that these are designed to eliminate stick drift. The charging base/stand is a cool feature and works well. I also like the high quality braided and colored to match USB cable. There are a couple things I wish this controller did have or was capable of as follows: I wish it came with a case to store the pieces and controller, like most competitors include. For the standard D-pad button, I wish it had some kind of piece to fill the gaps. And, finally, I wish it had the ability to connect to my Xbox Series X like a normal controller, without the dongle. Overall, this is an excellent controller and easily gets give stars.

TLDR: If you like standard/smaller Xbox style controllers, the GameSir G7 Pro is probably the #1 controller out there now and you should buy it. If you like larger controllers, you might want to look elsewhere. I've owned a ton of controllers since the days of Atari with the single stick and button. I remember when dual sticks on the Playstation controller made their debut. Let's not forget Duke, the massive original Xbox controller. So other than saying I'm old, I'm also saying that I've seen the best and worst in a controller over the decades. Controllers have gotten more comfortable and user friendly over the years, but they have also become more complicated and fragile as well. This is my first GameSir controller, though I have heard great things about them over the last few years, and I can say that GameSir, and the G7 Pro deserve to be at the pinnacle of any gamer's list for great controllers. Is the G7 perfect? For me, no. For most people, probably yes. Over the last few years, several companies have made innovations and mistakes that have made me compile a 'wish list' for the perfect controller (at least for me). The G7 Pro checks off more of those items than any single controller has to date, but unfortunately the one it doesn't is probably the most important, and that would be size. I've come to the understanding that a slightly larger than normal Xbox style controller is both the most comfortable for me for long time play, but also gives me the best results when gaming, meaning I don't hit the wrong button or something. So while I do not plan to continue using the G7 Pro, if you like the standard size Xbox controller, the GameSir G7 Pro should be your NUMBER ONE choice to check out. For the price, you get a stellar controller that is well made, responsive, and customizable. Simply Phenomenal. So you might wonder what items DOES it check off of my list? Well here are the main ones. 1. Responsive Buttons: No mush here. Nice and clicky but not TOO clicky. My other controller has nice clicky buttons but boy do they get annoying after a while. The G7 Pro has just enough dampening to soften the sound but not the feel. 2. Stick Feel: Beautifully tuned and smooth sticks. Here though, the G7 Pro is a bit louder than my other controller that also has drift-resistant sticks. I think it has to do with the face plate. 3. USB Cable Connector Guard: A favorite controller from a few controllers ago felt awesome in my hand, but was USB-C only. That would be OK if it was hardwired in with some good bend/strain protection. As it was they wanted you to be able to swap out cable lengths. What ended up happening though it that the plug on the controller got messed up and it couldn't be used any longer. If it had the system that GameSir put in for the G7, it would have worked beautifully. Oh, and it's removable, so if you use it wirelessly, it doesn't get in the way. 4. Rear Button Lock: My first controller with real buttons/paddles was the Elite and I liked that the paddles were removable because I almost never use them. Byond that, the Elite fell apart and died after only a year. With the G7 Pro, you have a nice switch to lock the grip pad buttons so they don't accidentally get triggered. On my current controller, I'm always accidentally hitting one or more of the buttons integrated into the grips and I hate it. If I were going to use ANY extra buttons, it would be ones up by the bumpers, and I love that that is where GameSir put the second set. 5. Good Software: While it may not be the most pretty or flash customization software platform on the Xbox/PC, it probably has the best customization options and functionality out there. Seriously, get the app for your Xbox and/or PC and use it. All kinds of nice tweaks you can make. And while this isn't a point on my list, because I don't REALLY care what my controller looks like; I have to say that GameSir, in general, and the G7 Pro - Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Edition is pretty snazzy. My wife's Executive Assistant who is a huge gamer, is going to LOVE this when I give it to her next week.

The GameSir G7 Pro wireless controller is a great gaming controller coming in at a really good price. This controller is a great replacement for the standard Xbox controller at a similar price while bringing way more features. Pros - Neat Design - Great Battery Life - Hall Effect Cons - Software is simply ok The build quality of this controller is great. Its plastic in construction like all controllers, but its not a cheap feeling plastic. Its thick and feels pretty durable so those that are a little more aggressive with their gameplay should be fine. The buttons have a nice solid movement to them, indicating pretty good switches. No sticking and slow travel. The joysticks have hall effect and seemed to return to zero smoothly. I didn't experience any stick drift with them at all. The D pad has a nice click feel to it when used and feels sturdy enough. When it comes to gameplay, the controller is going to be familiar to anyone thats used an Xbox controller before. Its comfortable, not bulky and is responsive in wired or wireless mode. For those that simply play, you won't notice much of a difference, but for those that are in to flick shooting and competitive play the hall effect will come in handy. I personally don't play competitively with a controller, I'm a mouse and keyboard person but I can appreciate its use. Overall, I really love this controller. I use it primarily for action rpg games on my PC and its familiar enough to outright replace my Xbox controller, while I can appreciate the long battery life, not having to swap batteries, and the cool design and stand.

I’ve been using the GameSir G7 Pro for a couple days now, both on my PC and my Xbox. I have gone through several controllers over the last few years, some of them elite, as well as the standard Xbox controllers. It is tough to find the right combination of comfort and quality without breaking the bank. The G7 Pro comes as close as I’ve found yet. It feels solid. Decent weight and textured grips that stay comfortable even when my hands get sweaty. It has the Xbox style layout I’m used to, and the magnetic faceplate is a fun extra for changing the look. But the sticks are the best part. The TMR sensors give smooth, precise tracking with zero drift. Aiming in shooters feels reliable and natural. The ABXY buttons are clicky and fast thanks to optical switches. Triggers use Hall Effect tech and can be set to short throw, which helps in quick games. I really like the four extra buttons—back paddles and shoulder ones. It took a bit to get used to reaching them, but now I map crouch or reload there and it keeps my thumbs on the sticks better. Wireless is responsive with good battery for normal sessions. The D-pad is just average, a bit mushy for fighting games. Overall, it works well for what I throw at it. Solid performance in shooters and action stuff, fighting games are fun enough, and the extras make it feel like a real upgrade. Not perfect, but for the price it’s a strong choice over basic controllers. I’d buy it again.

Third party controller like this one from Gamesir have a legitimate claim as saying they are better than the standard controller from the console makers. Long gone are the days where you hand someone a 3rd party controller and they give a disgusted look. This is one great liking controller, the texture on the grips and the buttons feel fantastic, everything feels premium and well put together. It’s a beautiful looking controller all the designs elements match extremely well. The performance on the controller is also legitimately great, buttons actuate quickly and have a satisfying click. The sticks feel great and very precise. The top extra buttons are in great placement and small enough they don’t get in the way but big enough easy to find quickly. But my absolute favorite thing is the lock for the back buttons. If you have a game you use the back buttons you unlock them and they are there in great position and easy to use and when your playing a game you don’t need them, put that lock on them and it feels like there is no buttons on the back. This is one of my favorite controllers ever highly highly recommend this to anyone needing a controller for there Xbox or pc

THIS… IS the Gamesir G7 Pro, A Pc/Xbox wireless controller with just about every feature you could ask for and more packed into an xbox controller and wrapped in the Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Skin. From its removable face plate to its Hall Effect controls and plethora of buttons… lets see how the Gamesir G7 Pro stacks up to the competition. Taking the G7 Pro out of the box for the first time, the Wuchang skin is absolutely beautiful and complimented by the controllers fantastic construction. Not only that, but every extra that comes with the G7 Pro from the smart base to the dongle and cables are also in a matching skin/color. This is one of, if not the best looking controllers I have ever seen. Moving on to its construction, it has a durable rubber backing for control as well as ribbed rear buttons, for you! All the actuations and buttons have smooth, crisp motions. To note, the XYAB buttons have a noticeable click feeling and sound when pressed, which is pleasant but not overpowering. Something cool about the G7 Pro is that the face plates, d-pad and joysticks are all magnetically held on, meaning that they are super easy to pull off and replace tool free if you want something new or it breaks down the road. You can also elect to remove the face plate and have a transparent blue controller should you wish. Now this controller is a Hall Effect Controller , meaning that the joystick and rear controls use a magnet to better aid in your movement and precise actuation. This is noticeable when throttling in racing games and in shooters where you want to map out or lock out your rear bumpers/triggers. This controller does have slidable lockouts so you can adjust/stop the actuation of your triggers as well as R4/L4 buttons. You can also customize the controller on PC with advanced options through the Gamesir Nexus App. With all these features, battery life doesn’t take a hit. Battery life is fantastic to match the controller, though, I rarely ever needed to test it due to the included smart charging station. The smart station also has a spot for the 2.4ghz dongle which supports 1k polling, To wrap this up, the Gamesir G7 Pro is honestly what I expected the Elite controller to be, except somehow it is half the cost AND includes a smart base?! From top to bottom the G7 Pro has quickly established itself amongst the top of the pack for controllers, handedly beating anything Xbox puts out themselves. From gaming to utility to ease of use, the Gamesir G7 Pro is the new king of the hill in gaming controllers. Until next time :)

Obviously, the main draw for those specifically picking up the Wuchang: Fallen Feathers edition of the G7 Pro is the gorgeous controller shell and charger design and eye-catching colorways; and the unique, stylized face buttons that are definitely an interesting departure from the same old fonts.. But even if you’re not a fan per se, when you have it in your hands, there is no denying that this is DEFINITELY a beautifully themed controller. In addition to the painted designs and alternating blue and gold of the silhouettes, dragon scales, and other embellishments, the magnetic faceplates of the grips themselves feature subtle texturing achieved through the application of layers of painted resin. In addition to the great looks, the dragon scales add some tactile bite in your hand that feels secure, not overbearing. But aside from looks, there isn’t anything else in particular that makes THIS G7 Pro different from any of the other normal or collaboration controllers. So, the real question is whether the G7 Pro is the RIGHT controller for you. Honestly, there is only one real point of–”contention” is maybe too strong a word; let’s just say “note”--that I have with the controller as a whole, and depending on your preferences, that issue may not even bother you. Starting with feel, fit and finish, the G7 Pro FEELS very solid and secure in your hands and is basically the same size and shape as an Elite 2 or SCUF Xbox controller–that is to say, the ergonomics are excellent. In addition to the subtly textured dragon scale grip plates, the back of the grips themselves are rubberized and textured to help reduce the likelihood of sending the controller flying during a particularly demanding gaming session. The TMR joysticks (negating the possibility of stick-drift down the road) feel snappy and responsive; movement doesn’t require a heavy throw, but there is plenty enough resistance to avoid any kind of sloppy “cheap controller” feeling. Stick caps can be swapped out once you remove the magnetic faceplate, but sadly, Gamesir didn’t include any extra caps or a few of different sizes in the box. At the top, a small collar can be slid up or down over the USB-C port, as well as be fully removed. This collar provides absolutely rock solid cable retention and strain relief because it fits right up against the shell of the included USB-A to USB-C cable–which also features some handsome braided cladding in the same blue and gold colorway as the rest of the controller. The controller comes with a secure, form-fitting charging dock that is also adorned with the Wuchang colors and traditional Chinese characters. But Gamesir did something with their dock I wish more manufacturers would consider. Instead of simple dongle storage in the base, the USB-C port at the back of the dock is wired into the USB dongle storage slot, so, rather than plug your dongle directly into your console or PC which may be far across the room, you can charge your controller a ways away but still have the dongle closer to you for steadier, speedier, or more reliable connections. Obviously, then, you can go wired through the controller’s top USB-C port, or wireless using the dongle, but the controller is also BT enabled so you can pair and use it with almost anything. In that respect alone, the G7 Pro is an outstanding value given the additional functionality and customization that is possible. Getting to the controls themselves, most of what is here is replicated on any other Xbox One-style controller. You have the 3.5 combo audio jack at the bottom flanked by two small buttons, one for pairing, the other muting the mic. Flipping the controller over, there’s a three-way operational switch (wired, 2.4Ghz wireless, and BT), and two back buttons. I was a little surprised at that design choice because most controllers with back buttons I have seen bring two per side to the fight. Here, you only get one per side at the back. But in a nice touch, there are switches on the back that BLOCK the rear bumpers from moving at all so you don’t have to keep track of backplate inserts or have buttons that click without any action assigned. There are also two trigger stops, but it’s all or nothing–either quick-fire/button-like presses, or analog trigger movement all the way down. Speaking of the triggers, the G7 Pro features trigger rumble motors which can be set separately from the main rumble motors if you want or sync’d together with the main body so they’ll all rumble at once. You can also adjust the nature of the “hair trigger” mode separately from those physical trigger stops mentioned above so that the trigger activates when your finger moves just a little off the trigger itself and is already set to register a new trigger press/pull, as opposed to waiting until the trigger returns all the way to zero. The L/R bumpers are nicely rounded and I felt no harsh edges or catches that might cause discomfort during long periods of use. Both the triggers and the bumpers are finely textured to help keep sweaty fingers from slipping off. But Gamesir ups the ante a bit by giving you two more small bumper buttons positioned just below the trailing edges of the main bumpers. These smaller bumpers are also short-throw buttons and can be assigned pretty much any other key function you want. It feels weird…like really weird…at first, especially as I am so used to the Elite’s dual back paddles and the two-way back paddles on the SCUF controllers. I’m not sure how long it will take before I get used to them. I have relatively large hands and more than once I hit the trigger trying to reach one of the extra shoulder buttons. But, it’s a unique setup and I can definitely see the The front features an interchangeable D-pad slot with complete circular, circle/4-way combo, and straight 4-way D-pad toppers. The face buttons are the same as any other Xbox controller: ABXY, menu, options, share, and Xbox button, but there’s also an extra “M” button at the bottom. The M button allows you to move between stored profiles, use the D-pad to adjust game/chat volume mix, and change/adjust controller button assignment without having to download the Gamesir Nexus companion app. You can do all that in the app as well; plus, the app gives you far more granular, competitive e-sports/OCD-level control over deadzones, polling rate, separate or linked settings for the strength of each of the four rumble motors, stick and trigger sensitivity and response curves, and any firmware updates that might be necessary (mine required one out of the box). Once you start spelunking into the Nexus app, you will also find some advanced options for things like rapid/continuous fire toggle, keyboard and mouse action emulation settings, and gyro/motion controls. It’s actually impressive how much customization Gamesir allows you to dial into your liking on a very reasonably priced “pro-level” controller. The only issue I’m still having with the controller is overall the feel of the buttons themselves. Gamesir uses tiny microswitches (think mouse-like clicking feel and sound) for the D-pad, the face buttons, the extra shoulder buttons, and the trigger-stop buttons. The result is a pronounced tactile and audible CLICK for each press of the controls. It’s not quite as loud as working at a mechanical keyboard with clicky switches, but the audible difference is definitely notable. But more than that, the feeling is just so different from all the other Xbox controllers I’ve used over the years that it presently just “feels wrong” when I use it. You may not be sensitive to, or even care about, something like that, but depending on how long you’ve been gaming and how accustomed you are to traditional button and D-pad tactile experience, the difference in the hand is rather startling…at least it was for me. Coupled with the extra shoulder buttons, I can tell it will take me quite a while to get used to this controller unless I make it my exclusive go-to for quite some time. Does any of that mean this controller isn’t a winner? Not at all–some of those factors may even tip the scales in the G7 Pro’s favor depending on your own preferences. It was simply a stark and explicit enough change from what you may be used to that I figured it was worth mentioning, especially as the quite reasonable price point may well put this controller within reach way ahead of other brand’s supposedly “premium” offerings that don’t have NEAR the kind of options and customization you get here. All said, the Gamesir G7 Pro really does serve up a fabulous value–it’s solidly built with cutting edge TMR sticks and Hall Effect triggers under the hood, some serious pro-grade features and customization options, and this one is a looker to boot. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED!

First off, the design on this controller is absolutely beautiful, even though I'm honestly not familiar with Wuchang. I especially love the fact that the feather design on the front of the grips isn't just printed on, but is actually textured. You can actually feel the ridges of the feathers, but at the same time the ridges are smooth and comfortable. The backside of the grips have the usual rubbery texture and the trigger/shoulder buttons are all nicely textured as well. Every part of this controller is comfortable to hold and play with for extended gaming sessions, with one exception, the thumbsticks. After a while my thumbs start feeling a little raw from the texture, but it's the same type of texture/feeling I get from the Xbox controllers too and what I know most controllers have, so it may be just me. It would be nice if maybe they offered a customizable option like they do for the d-pad. Although this controller is made for Xbox, it does also work with PCs and Android with 3 different connection options. There's wirelessly with the color-matching usb dongle, wired with the also color-matching usb-c to usb-a cable (which also doubles as a charging cable for the controller base or to the controller itself), and via bluetooth. I mainly game between both my Xbox Series X and a gaming PC laptop. With the multiple connection options, it makes it so easy to switch between systems. For my Xbox, I have the usb dongle plugged in and go wireless. For my PC laptop, I play with it wired. This way I never have to worry about the dongle, all I have to do is set the switch on the back of the controller and it's connected immediately. Functionally it works smoothly and is very responsive. I haven't noticed any type of lag on either Xbox or PC in any of the games I've been playing. The A/B/X/Y buttons do feel a bit springy which is a bit odd at first, but you get used to it and it doesn't affect how responsive they are. Even the placement of the extra buttons still feels natural and if you find yourself accidentally pressing the extra lower backside buttons, there's a switch next to each that can lock them. The triggers also have their own switch, which changes them from the standard variable trigger (which is necessary for racing games like Forza), to an instant trigger which can be helpful for FPS type games or where a variable input isn't needed. Mapping out the extra buttons, or even re-mapping the regular buttons, is extremely easy with the Gamesir Nexus app. Personally, I map the lower backside buttons to the left and right thumbstick clicks, and the extra inner shoulder buttons, I actually mapped them to the corresponding triggers, except with the continuous trigger option turned on. That is an awesome feature that I love. It lets me use the triggers as normal, and when I want a continuous trigger, I just hit that inner shoulder button once! The app itself is easily found in the Xbox Microsoft store and has a very intuitive interface. Something else I've gotta give props to Gamesir for is the fact that they gave you a way to map the buttons manually on the controller itself without the app. While the app does offer extra features like working with deadzones and such, it's great that they at least give you a way to use the controller to it's fullest without forcing you to download the app (although you will want to get it download the firmware on both the dongle and controller). Finally there's the battery life, which so far has been great. Of course switching to using it wired on my PC does help keep it charged. The charging base it comes with is beautifully designed to match the controller and flows nicely into the controller when attached. It's a perfect stand to sit next to your Xbox or on your desk. The one flaw it has though, is that if you slightly bump the controller, it can move just enough to the side that it loses contact with the charging pins. Overall, this is an excellent 3rd party controller that matches the quality and exceeds the 1st party controller with all the extra features it comes with. This has now officially taken the place of my number 1 controller that I use, which makes my daughter happy as she now gets to use one of my better Xbox controllers instead of the very old Xbox One I made her use.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Controller – Premium Feel Without the Premium Price I’ve used a lot of Xbox controllers over the years, and the GameSir wireless controller has quickly become my favorite. The build quality feels premium right out of the box, the grips are comfortable during long gaming sessions, and every button has a satisfying, responsive click. The biggest standout is the Hall Effect/TMR stick technology, which provides incredibly smooth and accurate movement while helping prevent stick drift—a huge improvement over traditional controllers. The wireless connection has been rock solid with no noticeable input lag, and the battery life has been excellent. I also love the programmable buttons and customization options, which make it easy to tailor the controller to different games. Whether I’m playing fast-paced shooters, racing games, or RPGs, the controller feels precise and reliable. If you’re looking for a high-performance Xbox controller that competes with much more expensive options, the GameSir is an easy recommendation. It delivers premium features, excellent comfort, and outstanding value for the price. I’d absolutely buy it again.

I have had the GameSir G7 Pro Wireless Xbox Controller Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Edition for about a week, and so far it has been fantastic. First off, the color scheme is incredible. The feather design on each handle not only looks amazing, but the raised texture provides additional grip alongside the soft rubber backing. The color-matched charging dock is perfect. No more misplaced controllers because it finally has a functional home. I also love the gold accents on the D-pad and the unique font styling on the A, B, X, and Y buttons. One of the biggest strengths of this controller is its versatility. It can connect to almost anything, including Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows 10/11 PCs, Steam, and Android devices. Connections can be made through a wired connection, the included wireless dongle, or Bluetooth. There is a switch on the back of the controller that makes it easy to swap between connection modes and devices. I tested all three methods, and every connection has been flawless. The standout feature for me is the Hall Effect sticks and triggers. They use magnetic sensors, which not only help eliminate stick drift but also provide incredibly precise inputs. You can fine-tune the trigger sensitivity to create hair-trigger settings for near-instant response times. In fast-paced games like first-person shooters and Rocket League, I noticed a measurable improvement in responsiveness once I dialed in the trigger settings. The anti-drift Hall Effect sticks are simply awesome and make the controller feel incredibly accurate. Another feature I appreciate is the abundance of additional buttons. There is an extra set located between the standard bumpers and triggers, along with additional programmable buttons on the back of the controller. Using the GameSir Nexus app on PC, you can customize these buttons and much more. The Nexus app is highly recommended. It allows you to install firmware updates, remap buttons, create up to four controller profiles, adjust vibration settings, configure automatic power on and off while docked, customize dock LED brightness, change polling rates, and fine-tune gyroscope and motion controls. The amount of customization available is impressive. Inside the box, you get the controller, charging dock, long USB cable, three interchangeable D-pad options, and documentation. The controller also features a magnetic faceplate that can be swapped for different color options from GameSir. The thumbsticks are replaceable as well, although no additional stick options are included in the package. Overall, I am blown away by the performance, features, and value this controller offers. It is one of the best pro controllers I have ever used. In my opinion, it delivers more features than the Xbox Elite controller while costing significantly less. I love everything about this controller. It has quickly become the daily driver for gaming in my house. I highly recommend it to anyone who plays across multiple platforms and wants exceptional accuracy, anti-drift technology, customization, and precision while gaming.

I’ve generally stuck to 8bitdo for my 3rd party controllers, but I’ve been hearing a lot more about GameSir over the years and this is my first time using one of their controllers. I can definitely see what the hype is about. The G7 Pro is a fantastic Xbox controller that works great and feels great to use. Even as someone who is not specifically a fan of the game it’s themed after, it’s as well designed as any first-part collaboration I’ve seen. It’s only let down by its battery life, but the charging dock at least makes it convenient to keep it topped up. The G7 Pro includes the controller, charging dock, a 2.4GHz USB-A receiver, a removable cable strain relief, 2 swappable D-pads, and a 10ft cable. The charging dock has a spot for the USB receiver and also acts as a passthrough for it. The 10ft cable is braided and color-matched to the controller and feels of very high quality. I’d say the strain relief feels a little unnecessary, but its inclusion doesn’t take anything away from the controller and it’s easy to remove if you don’t want it. The controller is one of the nicest I’ve ever held - the rubberized grips feel great on my skin and the removable faceplate pieces even have a texture to them that matches the feather printing on them, which is a nice touch. The face buttons are microswitches, but they don’t feel too clicky and blend just enough of that classic rubber dome feel to make them feel natural. The thumbsticks have what feels like about the standard Xbox level of tension to them. The D-pad is good, though personally not my favorite - I had a hard time feeling out where I was with the preinstalled circular one and ended up swapping that out for the hybrid one. There are 4 total extra programmable buttons on the G7 Pro, 2 around grips and 2 between the triggers and bumpers. The bottom ones can be disabled completely via the switches on the bottom of the controller, which is great for me as I often accidentally press those extra bottom buttons. The ‘L5’ and ‘R5’ buttons near the triggers are just far enough out of reach to not press accidentally, but still within reach. They also have a much clicker feel compared to the bumpers and triggers to help differentiate them. The overall build quality is excellent, though I did notice that the 3 faceplate pieces do not always sit flush to each other, depending on how they’re placed on the controller, but an extra bit of pressing puts them into place no problem. In terms of features, the G7 Pro has TMR joysticks, adjustable hall effect triggers with vibration, up to 1000Hz polling rate (PC only), gyro (also PC only), remappable controls, and the ability to play over either wired, 2.4GHz, or Bluetooth. This is definitely a ‘check all the boxes’ controller. I’ve been using the G7 Pro on both my Xbox Series X and PC and have mainly been using it in 2.4GHz mode with the receiver stored in the dock and connected to my Xbox. On PC, I have the polling rate set to 500Hz as going to 1000Hz disables trigger vibration. My experience on both platforms has been flawless. Every input acts as I’d expect and I haven’t noticed any latency on either Xbox or PC. The vibration motors feel particularly good on the G7 Pro and having trigger vibration is especially nice now that I’m playing racing games again. The G7 Pro can be configured and updated via the GameSir Nexus app, which is available from the Microsoft Store on both Xbox and PC. My only negative on the G7 Pro is its battery life - I got the low battery warning a lot more quickly than I thought would. At first, I thought it might have been just due to my first time using it, but checking GameSir’s website they do only rate this controller at up to 10 hours of battery life, which is quite low. If you have the charging dock all setup this is somewhat mitigated by the fact that you can just pop it right on the charger after each gaming session, but it’s not something I’ve typically concerned with with most Xbox controllers. So, besides the bad battery life, I can recommend this controller to anybody who’s looking for a higher-end Xbox controller, but doesn’t want to go all the way to the ‘Elite’ tier. There really isn’t a whole lot at that level that you’re not getting with the G7 Pro anyway.
