- GameSir G7 SE Wired Controller for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One & Windows 10/11, Plug and Play Gaming Gamepad with Hall Effect Joysticks/Hall Trigger, 3.5mm Audio Jack (White)

I have had this controller for several years and I will say I have had no issues at all. No stick drift because of the Hall-effect magnets. Triggers work well and are sensitive. The App and customization are pretty good. Great polling rate/reaction time. Feels good in the hand, decent grip and weight. Very long cord. Slightly smaller and lighter than a basic controller. I use it for my Xbox and my PC sometimes. It is in great condition after years of use, no buttons feeling worn or anything. Looking at buying a newer model for more features. This has been an amazing controller. Can never go back to a regular controller!

I can't say enough about how great this controller has been to me, even regardless of its price point. The analog sticks and triggers have very smooth linear activation, the hall effect components are worthy of the hype in my opinion. There is no friction in the movement of the analog controls, and the "spring" resistance feels just right for me. The ABXY and d-pad buttons are dome switches, which is just what the Microsoft Xbox controller feels like. The other buttons including the rear buttons are micro switches. If you're not sure what that is, they're somewhat like a mouse click but take a bit more force to activate than a mouse (too little resistance in the switch would be bad, and these feel good.) The tops of the sticks are not concave like the Xbox controller, which has a different feel, but not one that bothers me or impacts performance personally. The analog triggers have a more aggressive anti-slip texture to them than the Xbox controller. The size and overall feel of the controller otherwise feels just like the Xbox controller to me. The weight of the controller feels perfectly acceptable, its definitely lighter than the wireless Xbox controller with batteries in it, but also not as light as an empty one. I have no complaints, it doesn't feel cheap. The cable that comes with this is really high quality. It's covered in braided material but not overly rigid. The molded heads on both ends are very thick and strong, and the USB-C end that fits into the controller is very secure - I don't really have any concerns about it wiggling around or breaking the connector by dropping it on the cord or something. The controller has lots of features that standard Xbox controllers don't. I found that game support for the bottom buttons is not really as good as I thought it would be - some games just don't register the input. Everything else works as expected. There's an added "M" key that works like a function key, unlocking some on-the-fly adjustments. If you install the GameSir Nexus app in windows you can set up to three profiles that are saved directly to the controller (not the PC). You can use the M key and the ABXY's to switch between the controller's defaults, and your three stored profiles. If you're using the headset jack on the controller, there's a handy mic mute button next to the 3.5mm jack, and you can use the M-key in combination with the d-pad to control the overall volume of your headset, and the voice to game volume ratio (to an extent). The profiles let you change things like button mappings, deadzones, and vibration. So far, it would seem you can only re-map buttons that are internal to the controller - there's no way to assign keyboard shortcuts to the buttons for instance. The one thing I found this useful for is to re-map the stick button clicks to the rear buttons, which I find useful because trying to trigger the stick switch while aiming/steering/looking/whatever usually causes me a non-zero amount of grief. Using the Nexus app for windows you can also test your inputs, view the analog stick values and real-time movement, calibrate the analog controls, and update the firmware. They recently published a firmware update (v6.28) that allows you to increase the polling rate from the default 250 to 500 and 1000hz (effectively 4ms, 2ms, and 1ms control response), like you can with the Razer accessories I have. Unfortunately the 500 and 1000hz polling settings still come with a "work in progress" warning and cause some issues. You cannot, for instance, use the headset jack with the higher polling rates. Also when I turn the polling rate up, it starts to generate some odd input "spasms". My right stick randomly whips a 180, and sometimes my left and right triggers activate for no apparent reason. Everything goes back to normal with the default polling rate though. Eventually they'll fix this, I'm sure. It's not a deal breaker for me in any event, as I really can't tell the difference between 4ms and 1ms. The front top plate is magnetically affixed and stays securely in place. Other than the obvious cosmetic implications, cleaning is the only practical reason I can think to have a removable top plate. There seems to be anti-friction rings around the analog sticks, maybe if those wore out one day it could be a meaningful replacement, but I predict that replacement face plates would be long out of stock before I would need to replace those.

Great controller. Those non-driftable sticks, back paddles (that can be locked if desired), and easy software to program buttons and create specific profiles is everything I need from a controller, for an incredible price! The non-drifting sticks are an absolute must. I've never had stick drift besides my first Nintendo Switch joycons (multiple), and the PS5 controller, which started drifting for me incredibly quickly and quickly became unusable. I thought that was absolutely unacceptable. This controller makes sure that never happens, and is an incredibly reliable and responsive controller. If I were to upgrade to something a bit more expensive, it would most likely be a newer/more personalized model of this controller, tbh. Coming from someone who hasn't used an Xbox controller since the Xbox 360 days, but this one is comfortable and does everything you want it to.

I absolutely would, and have, reccomended this controller to anyone who is in the market for something cheap but also with good performance and quality. As someone who has played with both high end and low end controllers, I can say that this is my go-to controller for day to day playing. What it lacks in built in assistance from the xbox system (custom setups, sensitivity, etc.), it easily makes up for in other features such as magnetic-based joysticks which have completely eliminated stick drift. Pros: -Extremely low price for the quality. For being on the cheaper end of controllers, the feedback and performance is extremely smooth and responsive. Over the past year and a half of using this roughly every day, I've had little to no long or short term issues on this end. -Removable front makes customizing, painting, and cleaning easy -Comes with a very long and hardy cord for wired gaming -Back buttons, level control for the triggers, and built in mute button give the taste of higher tier controllers such as the more expensive official Xbox elite controllers. Cons -B button lost sensitivity in a couple months, though that may be a personal issue over an actual issue with the controller -After roughly a 5 months the top part of the wire that connects to the controller frayed completely, showing the inner wires. Though this is a cheap fix with electrical tape, or a cheap replacement that is assisted by the fact that the wire is removable. -This is a wired only controller. I personally prefer wired controllers over controllers that require charging or battery replacements, though this is important to point out for those who do not prefer wired only controllers. Though other non-wired versions of this controller do exist!

Been rather content with my purchase, overall, but there are a few things I think could be improved. I've noticed the audio socket doesn't seem to have the highest durability/ reliability. At first I only noticed a slight issue with my microphone not always working properly (apparently need to really snug up the plug sometimes), and more recently when I looked inside the socket itself it appears that there's a piece of metal that looks loose, as if a piece of a plug "contact" within the controller itself has come loose. I've been as gentle as possible with this controller, as I have limited funds. I've tried to keep my headset plugged in as much as possible to prevent any wear and tear from removing the plug and pushing it back into the socket.. So I can only imagine it's a quality control issue, much like some button sensitivity I've already noticed. I play Rocket League on a semi regular basis, and most of my previous controllers have held up quite nicely overall. This one started having some issues with overly sensitive button activation on the left joystick when I'm simply playing the game (most noticeable in Rumble mode of Rocket League since it activates the special abilities when I do NOT want to activate the ability), which has happened with another controller before, but it never happened this quickly. I'll most likely need to do some maintenance cleaning around the buttons, but I'm hesitant since I'm not experienced with it and I'm worried about causing further damage. I'd rather not have more things go wrong with the controller. Overall the controller works just fine and all the other buttons are behaving normally so far. I DO wish the controller was designed with 4 directional buttons in place of 1 solid D pad, but it is what it is. Star Trek Online, it's very easy to hit the D pad in one completely different direction, but the tilt of the D pad also changes my ship's power level settings. It's not a major concern most of the time, but it can be a nuisance occasionally at the wrong time in a battle. I imagine it may become a nuisance in other games, but I don't often need the D pad in most games that I play. Still happy to give 4 stars overall, as 3 just seems too low. The quality of product for the price paid is pretty decent with this controller. If I'd paid twice as much for the same product, I may have been a bit more annoyed.

Excellent controller! My new favorite controller with my Xbox Series X. Read on as I compare this controller to others I've had and also how to successfully extend the cord length. Playing FPS games, I've gone through 3 official Microsoft Xbox controllers. Each developing stick drift after less than 6 months. I didn't really like the official controllers and I started using PowerA Spectra Infinity wired controllers. I liked the PowerA controllers better as I could set a shorter distance on depressing the two rear trigger buttons and also the inclusion of the custom programmable buttons on the back of the controller. However, I went through a few of these controllers too as they also developed stick drift after a number of months. The PowerA controllers have an app so I could try and calibrate the worn out sticks. This was only a temporary fix as it would decrease responsiveness of the sticks and they would eventually drift further. I've now bought this GameSir G7 SE Wired Controller. It is GREAT! Right out of the box the sticks have no drift. Excellent responsiveness and control. It has the two programmable back buttons and through the GameSir Nexus app, on my Xbox, I was able to set the rear triggers to be hair triggers. Everything is good, EXCEPT I needed more cable length. With my old PowerA controllers I was using a 9.8 feet USB 3.0 extension cable with no problem. That same cable extension would NOT work with my new GameSir G7 SE plugged into it. This led to experimentation. I had a 3.3 feet USB 2.0 extension cable and it worked fine plugging it into the Series X and then plugging the GameSir G7 SE's cable into that USB extension. However connecting two 3.3 feet USB 2.0 extension cables together and then the GameSir G7 SE cable did NOT work. I had a single 6.5 feet USB 2.0 extension cable that I tried. Also did NOT work. Here comes the interesting part: ADDING A NON-POWERED USB HUB Adding a non-powered USB hub allowed me to use longer extension cables with this controller. So my current setup is: Xbox Series X > non-powered USB hub > 6.5 feet USB 2.0 extension cable > GameSir G7 SE Controller cable > Controller. I was also able to get the longer 9.8 feet USB 3.0 extension cable to work, but it needed to be in the following order: Xbox Series X > 9.8 feet USB 3.0 cable extension > non-powered USB hub > GameSir G7 SE Controller cable > Controller. All seems to work well with the extension cables, including with a wired headset being plugged into the GameSir G7 SE controller. USB extension cables I've tested: Amazon Basics USB-A 2.0 Extension Cable, 3.3 feet = Works without needing a USB hub. 2x Amazon Basics USB-A 2.0 Extension Cables connected together, (3.3 feet each, 6.6 feet connected together) = Works, but needs a USB hub before or after the extension cables. Amazon Basics USB-A 2.0 Extension Cable, 6.5 feet = Works, but needs a USB hub before or after the extension cable. Amazon Basics USB-A 3.0 Extension Cable, 9.8 feet = Works, but needs a USB hub AFTER the extension cable. (Xbox > Extension Cable > USB Hub > GameSir G7 SE cable > controller) USB Hubs tested and working: Anker 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub, Ultra-Slim Data USB Hub with 2 ft Extended Cable, Model: AK-A7516012 (A7516) Insignia USB 2.0 4-Port Hub, Model: NS-PCH5420 An old "Xtreme Tech" USB 2.0 Hub from Five Below My guess is other non-powered USB hubs may work too. If this controller keeps working as well as it does now, and lasts longer than 6 months, I'm going to be very pleased!

I've spent hundreds, if not a thousand or so, of dollars on controllers over the years in my search for the perfect one. I thought I found it with the original Xbox Elite controller, which I sold off when the white version was released. For a year, that controller was my weapon of choice until the left joystick started to drift. I had it shipped off, hoping it could be fixed, but it was even worse when it was returned. Since then, I have had the worst luck with Elite controllers that either had drift right out of the box or buttons that needed to be pressed dead-center in order to work. Eventually, I gave up on the Elite controller and put gamepads from various other companies to the test. I bought a PowerA controller and several Razers. Buying extended warranties became a habit -- I normally don't purchase them, but controllers have limited 90-day to one-year warranties that don't cover enough of a controller's lifespan. Part of the problem is that modern-day controllers use potentiometers to determine how far or fast you move your joystick. Over time, the friction from components sliding over and under each other wears out until the tension holding your joystick at the zero-point becomes imbalanced. That causes stick drift -- your joystick is pushed or pulled away from the center. Hall effect sensors, which use magnets to detect the position of joysticks and triggers, will never drift -- in theory. Because the parts don't rub against each other, Hall effect sensors last a lot longer than your average gamepad that will eventually succumb to drift. I've used the GameSir G7 SE Wired Controller for a few weeks now, and it's been a great controller at a lower price-point than Microsoft's own standard controller. The controller has a build quality that feels similar to the standard controller with a sturdy plastic shell that doesn't feel cheap. The triggers were a little too sensitive out of the box, but after tuning them with the app and getting used to how much further they seem to stick out -- they're a little more pronounced, like upside down claws -- I haven't had any issues with them. The buttons feel fine without any mushiness or dead spots, and the sticks actually seem to be more accurate even with small nudges because you're not fighting the friction of the potentiometer. There are some features to the controller, like the buttons in the back, an app that lets you change a few settings, and some on-the-fly key presses you can do to change configurations that lift the value of the controller at its current price. I wish there were physical trigger locks, though the app allows for hair-trigger presses. I would advise that you immediately download and use the app before you game in order to calibrate the controller and set it up to your liking.

With all the positive reviews I was pretty excited to give this a chance. I was looking for something nice with more of budget friendly price. This controller seemed perfect. When first held it seems about the same size as your average xbox controller but significantly lighter since of course there is no battery pack. The analog sticks seems to be slightly smaller than the standard xbox so that felt pretty off to use. Not really my favorite part of the controller but I do have extra grip analog covers that I add on so it makes it bigger and ends up working well for me. The buttons are more tough to push so that is not something I liked but the triggers and bumpers felt nice and smooth. No issues there, in fact I really enjoy the feel of them. There are added buttons on the back that can be locked if you don't want to use them, so if you accidentally press them it won't click. That is such a nice touch. The D-pad feels about the same as your regular xbox controller so no complaints there either. The vibration can be a bit excessive as opposed to your standard xbox controller but if you download the gamesir app you can reconfigure this. So really, no complaints there. My biggest issue and which sucks because it is a big component of the controller and that is the headphone jack. I plugged in my Stinger 2 by HyperX headset and immediately it sounded like it couldn't register the headset. A bunch of static plays out, especially when I'm touching my volume wheel which can get loud. I have to find the right spot for the static to subside. When I do find the right spot the game sounds bad. It doesn't matter what settings I try to use it's almost as if the headset itself is bad. Now I know the headset is on the cheaper side but it never sounded this bad on a standard xbox controller. I am also incapable of actually speaking through the headset. Does not work for xbox party or game chat. For game chat it is actually worse. I tried playing overwatch and for some odd reason the audio that plays out isn't even my voice but the actual in game noise. I don't even know why that happens but there is no fix around that for me. I decided to test it with my old headset (older but more expensive) and the audio sounded so much better. I never would have guessed my headset isn't compatible with a controller but I guess that's the case, which sucks. But even though the old headset sounds better I still have to move it around so that I can hear the audio from both ears instead of one. It's pretty annoying. So while no static, the audio to both ear cups is inconsistent. As with both headsets, it does not work for game chat or xbox party. I can hear but I can't speak. If I plan to play with friends I have to use my old xbox controller. I've come to the conclusion that perhaps I recieved a broken or malfunctioning controller or more specifically, the headphone jack. My first time ever buying a gamesir and honestly I don't know if I will again. I might have gotten unlucky to get a faulty one or maybe there is an app setting I have to do for it to work but I haven't figured it out. I play on xbox so plug and play is really all I'm looking for. Great controller, feels well, plays well, and does not feel cheap but pro. But I got unlucky with a faulty one I guess. So be weary it can happen to you.

恐らく、今までのコントローラーで一番使用した期間が長いと思う 私は自分でもコントローラーの扱いが雑だと感じる程度には荒いが、スティック部分などはヘタる気配すら感じなかった 外装の質感も非常に高く、満足度が高い 背面ボタンも個人的にはかなり押しやすい部類に感じた

Ho acquistato il GameSir G7 SE ormai da un anno e, dopo centinaia di ore su FPS competitivi e giochi d'azione sia su PC che su Xbox, posso fare un bilancio definitivo sulla sua affidabilità nel tempo. (Non ho caricato foto semplicemente perché dopo 12 mesi di utilizzo quotidiano l'estetica non è più in condizioni impeccabili, tra normali segni d'usura ed estetici, ma ci tenevo a recensirlo perché a livello funzionale fa ancora egregiamente il suo lavoro). I punti di forza dopo un anno: Sensori ad effetto Hall perfetti: La vera svolta di questo pad. Gli stick analogici e i grilletti usano i magneti anziché i classici potenziometri: dopo un anno la risposta è precisa al millimetro e il fenomeno del drift non esiste. Software GameSir Nexus fantastico: L'applicazione dedicata è fatta benissimo e permette di personalizzare tutto con estrema facilità. Si possono regolare le zone morte degli stick, calibrare i grilletti, rimappare i tasti e creare profili dedicati in pochissimi clic. Tasti posteriori con blocco fisico: I due pulsanti sul retro sono comodissimi e hanno uno switch meccanico per bloccarli ed evitare pressioni accidentali. Cavo e connettività: Il cavo USB-C in dotazione è robusto e non ha mai dato problemi di falso contatto o disconnessione. Conclusione: Esteticamente mostra i segni di un anno di uso intenso, ma a livello di prestazioni, reattività dei tasti e precisione degli analogici non ha perso un colpo. Se cercate un controller cablato con licenza ufficiale Xbox, anti-drift e con un software davvero completo, a questo prezzo è una garanzia assoluta!

Update (8th March 2025): Now it’s almost gonna be an year since I’ve been using this controller, and it still feels brand new.. Zero regrets!! The LB RB bumpers are still very responsive, and there’s zero stick drift as expected from the Hall effect module. Every other button is working like a charm. The braided USB C cable that came with the controller is still fine. No wear and tear at the corners or anywhere. It’s the best controller I’ve used till date, and no other controller comes close at this price range or even at a slightly higher price tag. Blindly go for this one if you’re looking to buy an Xbox controller. Original Review: I’ve always used Xbox original controllers, and never really bothered using any other controller. I’ve used the regular ones, special editions, and even the elite series controllers. They always had 2 major issues for me. The LB and RB bumpers being almost useless after a couple of months, and of course the stick drift. So I thought I’ll give this controller a shot as it’s only 300-400 /- more than an Xbox controller. I’ve been using this controller for the past 3 days, and I used it to play some FPS, and 3rd person shooters on my Xbox Series X. Coming to the pros: 1. Controller feels light but, it is built very well. There are absolutely so squeaks or cracks. 2. All the buttons feel tactile, and ABXY buttons have the right amount of travel to them, and are very similar to Xbox original controller. The other buttons like the Xbox menu, pause, back, share, mode, and the microphone mute switch (which should be there in every Xbox controller imo) are clicky rather than having the membrane feel to them. I got used to it in an hour of usage. 3. The length of the USB C cable that is provided is good. It’s around 10 feet, and I can comfortably use it from my couch. 4. Now coming to the Hall effect sticks, and triggers themselves (No more stick drift!!! At least for a very long time), they are excellent. I downloaded the GameSir’s nexus app, and calibrated the sticks after updating the controller’s firmware. They are extremely responsive. The triggers travel is very good and smooth. Extremely happy with this. 5. The LB and RB buttons feel amazing too. They definitely look like they’ll last longer than Xbox original controllers, and the D pad is good as well. There’s nothing really bad about this one, and if I have to really nitpick then I guess the USB C end of the cable that goes into the controller is weirdly thin, and this makes finding a replacement cable a bit annoying but, the cable is a braided one so I don’t think it should have any issues. Give this one a chance instead if you’re gonna buy an Xbox controller.

It works well
