G7 Wired Controller for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Windows 10/11 - PC Gaming Gamepad with 3.5mm Audio Jack (2 Swappable Faceplates)

Bought this to replace an old microsoft Xbox controller whose USB connection had been damaged. This is much sturdier than the microsoft one. High quality, no issues, feels great in the hands. It's been abused a lot in the household and still goes strong. Totally worth its price!

Okay, so I was pretty surprised by this one. I've had an Astro C40 controller since 2019 and that unfortunately died last month (It was a great controller!) so I went and purchased an Xbox Elite Series 2 controller. I returned that in less than 12 hours. The paddles felt uncomfortable to use, and the face buttons were not responsive (1 out of 5 times they just don't engage due to the design of the mainboard inside the controller). This one though? Oh wow. Silky smooth thumbsticks, responsive triggers (would have liked trigger stops, but hey), face buttons that are mechanical... It's a great piece of kit for like 1/3 the price of the Xbox Elite Series 2. Just... buy this one.

So I’ve had this controller for probably more than a month now. Little backstory I play on Xbox series s, and for the past 3 years I had used a regular Xbox series x black controller, I never had a single issue with it until recently it started playing up and i pretty much couldn’t use my Xbox. At this current time and in my country this controller was the same price as a new Xbox series controller. I knew that Xbox series controllers have the reliability, but I had done a lot of research on the G7 and wanted to try something new. I must say the first time holding the controller it felt very premium compared to the regular Xbox series ones. It feels very smooth, the studded grip on the back is actually rubber which feels much nicer compared to plastic on my old one. I will admit it does take getting used to if you usually use regular Xbox controllers, the shape is a bit different, one thing I didn’t like at first was the placement of the “menu” and “map” buttons and how they were much flatter than what I was used to but it’s easy to adjust to it. The face buttons are tactile and have an audible click sound to them, which you can’t help but smile when you hear it, obviously when you’re wearing headphones you can’t hear it, and at first because of the tactile buttons, whilst wearing headphones I actually found it hard to tell if I was actually pressing the face buttons or not because they felt so light. Suffering from success I suppose. Some people complained that they wish they had made the face buttons a different colour i.e. have the letters be black or grey or just have them blanked out, but that really didn’t bother me, plus you aren’t looking at the controller whilst you play anyways. One of the main selling points of this controller is that it’s more of a professional controller with added features at the same price point as a regular Xbox controller, one of the biggest features being the back paddles, well they are buttons not paddles. I was sceptical before buying, but the back buttons are in a very comfortable position and are so easy to remap, that’s another good thing about this controller is you don’t need any software to remap the back buttons though there is a software available should you want to fine tune your controller, though if you’re a casual every now and again gamer like me that won’t be necessary. The actual thumb sticks themselves are from the PS4/5, so if you want to use kontrol freeks it’s best to get the ones made for PS5 as they fit perfectly. I’m pretty sure the Nintendo switch ones fit aswell. Also I’m the box it comes with another faceplate in white, it’s very easy to swap the faceplate as it’s just magnetic and comes off. I’ve got a bit of a “stormtrooper” esc design, I have the white faceplate on with white kontrol freeks making it like black and white which looks pretty good. Another thing is the d pad has other functions, if you hold down the “M” button, which is the added feature button, and press the d pad buttons it can do things like increase or decrease the volume and also increase/decrease party chat to game volume ratio. Although to be honest I have never used this feature. I will note that when I first plugged in my headphones even on max it was quite quiet so I realised I had to turn it up on the controller d pad. Here’s one of the biggest negative things I’ve find and maybe it’s just mine but basically the controller has like “space rings” I don’t know what the actual name is but if you move the thumb sticks around it feels very smooth, but sadly it stopped working on the left stick on the forward part of it after about a week, I’m guessing that’s because in most games the left stick is pushed forward majority of the time, so now that part broke and it feels really grindy and bad and even makes a squeaky sound when I click the left stick as it is pushed forward. I considered returning it to get a new one but I couldn’t be bothered with the hassle as it’s a minor thing. It doesn’t really affect gameplay but I was just disappointed with how quickly that stopped working. All in all I think this is a great controller. If I could go back in time and either buy a regular controller or this one I would probably choose this one

An excellent pro controller at a budget price. Well made with mechanical buttons. The extra buttons underneath are easy to program and comfortable to use. You CANNOT adjust stick sensitivity through the app, though, if that's what you're looking for; it only lets you modify the deadzones. It doesn't have hall effect sticks, but if you do end up getting any kind of drift it is cheap to buy another. I bought two just to have a spare!

I have gone through a few controllers in the last year. 1 standard Xbox controller, 1 cheap controller and 1 Xbox elite controller. All had issues so this was my next purchase. So far after a month I think, it's going well. The clicking of the buttons reminds me of a mechanical keyboard so they feel so much more satisfying to press than a regular controller. Additional buttons at the back aren't their own button but instead you can remap a regular button to the back. I had hoped it would be treated as additional so I could add extra functions but that's fine. A good controller and would definitely recommend and re buy if I needed a second

Controller is completely useless. It keeps disconnecting and reconnecting during games at random. I plugged the included USB-C cable into another Xbox One controller I own to determine if its a defective cable but the cable works perfectly. The controller is defective. Unfortunately because I threw the packaging away due to myself expecting a brand new controller to *work*, (ludicrous expectation, I know /s) I cannot return it. Incredible waste of £55.

I am so glad I bought this. I play COD on PC through Steam. It was super easy to map the back buttons using the app they said to download through Microsoft store in the instructions. It came with a gift card to Xbox game pass, which I won’t be using lol The quality of the buttons feels amazing. The controller is a little bit smaller than the original Xbox Series controller, so it’s taking me a little time to get used to it, but overall I’m really happy. I also bought the 3 year insurance, so I’ll be good for a while. I recommend buying insurance, this controller is perfect for PC.

Got this as a replacement controller for my PC Rig, my old one was on its way out and just causing issues so decided to just get a new one and ended up settling on this, both me and my partner use it when gaming, the different covers are nice as I tend to use the black one and we've going to but black cats on the white one so it can be my partners controller cover, its really comfortable in your hands and isnt super heavy, its feedback is good and using it is a breeze, will definitely have to get another eventually

Dopo 10 fiorni di utilizzo costante su Apex Legends devo promuovere a pieni voti questo prodotto. All'inizio ero scettico, poi da.sibito mi sono accorto che il pad era qualcosa di interessante, non solo a livello di resa in game ma anche per la sua app molto intuitiva e senza tanti fronzoli.Che dire si xbox x si co.porta esattamente come un pad da 180€ forse anche meglio, su Pc l'opzione dei 1000hz è fantastica, prodotto che spero duri perché è un hioiellino, complimenti alla GAMESIR🤩 aggiornamento: rimandato indietro 2 pad uno per la levetta dx che scattava ( piegandola sinsentiva uno scatto) e laltro per drift dopo solo 2 mesi di gioco.😔

I have used many different controllers since I started to game on them on pc since 2016. I know many in the pc master race don't look kindly on guys who use anything other than a keyboard and mouse. Its convenient. There are limited amount of buttons. So if you forget a prompt you don't need to open the options menu to figure the controls. I have used Scruff, Razer, and Nacon controllers. Actually several of them. This one feels good for the price. Firstly very low error rate. Even though this isn't a hall effect joystick. It's a simple potentiometer. But it is done well. It almost has the feeling of using a hall effect joystick. The software is simple. A trigger stop would have been nice. It can be switched on via a software. It's okay in performance. Coming to the switches. Why I went for this controller. After doing a lot of research I found out that this had mechanical face buttons. The clicks feel really good. It's intuitive using the d pad when playing a fighting game. Now let's address the elephant in the room. Yep as advertised. It does over 1000 hz. It feels snappy. It does. Nothing feels as good as to be able to line up a perfect headshot in your fav game. Now you can do that using a controller. It feels amazing moving up from 125 or 250 hz controllers. Even on an Xbox you can enjoy a 1000hz. Just one bummer. You can't use the headphone jack at that polling rate. All in all a win for Gamesir. I an loving it. Nice braided cord. Extra white faceplate. Feels good in the hand with its grippy feel. Why I said, a steal for the price. Sure you can buy a controller for on the cheap with a 1000hz. This just though...feels good. I mean the XYAB buttons feel as good as the Razer wolverine. Hell...those are expensive. This is one third the price. The software is a bit barebone but hey I am not complaining. All in all a winner...last but not the least. This doesn't give me sweaty palms and it has dual rumble motors which are quiet powerful.

very good

この商品を使い始めてもうすぐ2年になります。控えめに言って最高だと思います。 約2年ほぼ毎日ハードな使い方をしていて、目立った傷もなし、誤作動もなし、今まで数々のコントローラーを壊してきた身からすると、最高の商品だと思います。 操作性に関しても、デッドゾーンも少なく、アプリでいろんな設定をいじれるので使いやすいです。 見た目も気に入ってます。

Tras probar muchos mandos de xbox con y sin cable, puedo decir que este mando es un muy buen sustituto del mando elite de xbox, el cual tambien tengo. La mayoria de comparaciones las voy a hacer respecto al mando elite ya que creo que es con el que compite, y, aunque la caracteristica destacada de este mando (Gamesir G7) es que se pueden intercambiar las carcasas frontales y se pueden pintar sl gusto, creo que han fabricado un mando que sobresale en muchos aspectos a destacar. Los materiales de construccion son muy buenos, incluso diria que se siente mejor que el propio mando que trae la consola ( en este caso comparado con el mando que trae la series x) siendo algo inferior al elite ( en los stick metalicos y las gomas que envuelven el mando que si trae el elite) pero que al costar un tercio del precio es mas que razonable. Es un poco mas ligero que el mando estandard de xbox con el cable quitado. Con el cable se nota mas pesado, da sensacion de calidad, no es plastico chinoso. La funcionalidad del mando es perfecta. Los stick no tienen desdzone y son muy precisos ( y se pueden ajustar al gusto desde la app ) y se sienten un poco duros (hay que hacer un poco de fuerza para moverlos) y lo importante es que no tienen holgura sin movimiento como el mando elite. Los botones se sienten muy bien al tacto y una cosa en la que supera al mando elite es que los botones ABXY son microswitches, con lo que no tiene toques fantasma, doble toques, ni falla al pulsarlos. Esto es un problema que si que tiene el mando elite y que en este Gamesir G7 me ha sorprendido mucho que funcione mejor que en un mando de 180€. Este mando lleva 2 botones traseros que se pueden programar sin la app, (usando una combinacion de botones) y via app. Se pueden mapear los botones que queramos en esos 2 botones y la posicion de estos es comoda y natural para pulsarlos, cosa que en el mando elite se hace un poco complicado el adaptarse al tener 4 botones traseros (palancas) mucho mas pequeños. Los gatillos son con sensor hall, con lo que son muy precisos, y si bien no tienen topes para recortar el recorrido fisicamente, se pueden ajustar via software desde la propia Xbox o PC, haciendo que se puedan usar en modo hair trigger ( disparo instantaneo casi con rozar el boton ) o ajustalo al gusto. La vibracion es totalmente adaptable, lleva la vibracion normal y la propia de xbox en los gatillos, y destacar que se pueden programar para que vibren al pulsarlos independientemente del juego, o que vibren a la vez que lo hacen los motores grandes del mando. Como añadido, tiene toma Jack 3.5 para auriculares y microfono y se puede ajustar el volumen y balance audio-chat desde el boton central de abajo y usando la cruceta, añadido que se agradece si se usa auriculares via cable. Respecto a la conexion con la consola se hace via cable usb. Trae un cable de 3 metros forrado de paracord de buena calidad, los conectores son de buena calidad tambien y el usb C que conecta con el mando encaja en un hueco para que no se salga ni se desconecte mientras juegas. La latencia es practicamente 0 al ser cableado. La App que se puede instalar tanto en windows como en xbox esta bien, es clara y sencilla de entender. En pc va perfecta y en Xbox no se me adapta bien al tamaño de la tele pero no influye en el funcionamiento de la misma. Con la app se puede configurar todo lo descrito anteriormente (sticks, gatillos, botones traseros, vibracion, etc...) Como punto negativo podria decir que no es inalambrico. Entendible ya que microsoft es muy cerrado para facilitar la licencia de su conexion inalambrica a algo que no sean auriculares (y ni eso funciona bien, por experiencia propia con unos marca Razer), no hay en el mercado mandos que no traigan si propio pincho RF que le añade latencia. Conclusion pero por las caracteristicas que tiene y el precio lo veo mas que razonable. Está a la altura ( e incluso me atrevo a decir que es mejor ) que los mandos de Razer (wolverine) o los de la marca powerA. Si la marca sacase un modelo igual al G7 pero inalambrico creo que seria un mando redondo. Estoy en proceso de que la artista de mi familia pinte la carcasa frontal y actualizaré con mas fotos cuando la tenga.
