GameSir 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)

This controller perfectly met my desires and needs. I had the Turtle Beach Ultra Stealth and for the price I was honestly disappointed. I bought this controller instead that same day I repacked the Ultra Stealth to return it. The tactile feedback on the XYAB and D-Pad for the Ultra Stealth felt mushy and I found myself pressing the buttons harder than necessary. With this controller the buttons have a much more pleasant clicky feeling that is still soft to the touch. The Left and Right bumpers are easier and smoother to oress than a Standard controller as well. The the two extra programmable buttons are perfectly placed and I feel as if two is just enough for me. However some players may have a need for four or more. I would say that this controller is a little smaller and slimmer than a standard controller but I feel this with a good thing for the majority of players as I myself have very big hands and this has not been a issue of comfort for me. The only potential con I can see some people having is the controller being wired but for me I prefer wired as I get the peace of mind of knowing there is no input latency what so ever. 5 out of 5 stars for me. Well done.

Would highly recommend

Loved the controller for 7 months. Hair triggers are great, microswitch buttons feel great, software is easy to use. About two weeks ago the controller began to disconnect intermittently. It is now unusable. When compared to the Elite S2, it’s a better value. I’ve found they usually last 12 months for 3x the cost if not more. Enjoyed it until the connection issue, still searching for a reliable controller that has extra features.

I am absolutely blown away at how great this G7 controller is for my Series X. I initially sought this out because I have big hands (for reference, the fingers in XL gloves are about half an inch too short for me) and the stock Xbox Series controller was actually painful for me to use. I could see in photos that the G7 had a different shape, more vertical on the sides with longer grips, and other reviewers had said they felt it was much more comfortable, so I gave it a shot. I can confirm the G7 is a different shape, and for me, MUCH more comfortable to use. That’s terrific, but it turns out I actually love EVERYTHING about this controller more than the stock one. Here’s what I love about this thing: 1. The shape – The stock controller is narrow at the top and has a V shape with sharply angled sides. This causes my fingers to lay over the top and around the back of the controller where they interlace with each other. This makes the shoulder buttons very hard to press down on, and I have to actually curl my fingers back and hold them in an arched position to press the shoulder buttons. The grips are also too short and so my pinky and ring fingers kind of slide off the controller and cup the bottom of the grip. The sharp angle of the sides also caused my wrists to bend at an unnatural angle, and I have to keep my elbows out to the side to accommodate, which isn’t a natural position when I’m sitting down. It had reached a point I didn’t even want to touch the stock controller because it was making my wrists and hands ache. The G7 fixes all of that. You can see in photos that the outer edges run more vertically down into the grips. This makes a HUGE difference, so my wrists aren’t angled so sharply. I think it’s wider at the top as well, and my index fingers rest quite naturally on the shoulder buttons. The grips are also slightly longer and easier for my pinky fingers to wrap around. The differences are subtle, if you just glance at photos they almost look like the same controller, but the differences are enormous when I actually hold the controllers in my hands. The G7 is an absolute life-saver for me. 2. The buttons – This really surprised me. I’d read the buttons were different, but I really just wanted the G7 for the shape and figured I’d roll with the buttons however they were. Turns out the buttons feel amazing to me, maybe my favorite of any controller I’ve ever had. I kind of hate how loud and clicky the face buttons are on the stock controller, and I find they are so hard to press down that it actually starts to hurt the middle joint of my thumb over time. The G7 buttons are much easier to press down on but still have the nice clicky accuracy of the stock controller. They are also perfectly responsive and register inputs exactly as I expect them to. These are clickier than the PS4 controller, but not nearly as loud and clicky as the stock Series controller, and to me they feel exactly right. Same with the D-pad, which is surprisingly my favorite part of this controller. Any chance I get, whether it’s in game menus or playing a side-scrolling beat ‘em up, I will happily use the D-pad just because it feels amazing to press down on. Perfect amount of precision and clickiness but with a slight softness to it that I love. Similar to the face buttons, the D-pad also feels very precise and responds exactly how I expect it to. 3. The texture and overall feel – The back of the controller is textured with a firm rubbery feel, and it is noticeable as soon as I pick it up. Huge difference from the hard plastic of the stock controller. Again, I had no interest or preference in this when I bought it, but it has became one of the many things I love about the G7. It just feels so secure and comfortable in my hands, and along with some wonderfully textured analog sticks and the super responsive buttons, I feel like I have complete control over what I’m doing in-game at all times. This thing is a joy to pick up and hold. 4. Other stuff – There are mappable buttons on the back of the grips, one on each side. I actually didn’t like these at first and found myself awkwardly pressing down on them accidentally while playing. They weren’t mapped to anything yet so it didn’t affect the game, but it still felt weird in my hands. But two things happened: 1. my hands and fingers adjusted to the buttons being there and I never press them accidentally now, and 2. I chose to map L3 and R3 to them and have found that to be a huge improvement in comfort and just satisfaction with the gameplay experience over pressing down on the sticks, which I’ve never loved on any controller. Playing a first person shooter where L3 and R3 are used for run and melee feels so awesome and satisfying with those back buttons now. Also, I am a huge fan of the cord. My specific gaming setup does not involve pets or kids etc and so a cord doesn’t bother me, and I actually prefer it over the batteries so I’m not always getting a notification that the batteries or battery pack is low. This thing is just always ready to go. The cord is a nice woven one as well, and like everything else on this controller, feels very high quality. Plus, this controller pays for itself just from the cost of batteries or rechargeable battery packs. The swappable face plates also sit snugly and securely, to the point I would never even know they were there. Lastly, the controller came with a code for a month of free Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which is a $15 value. That wouldn’t matter at all if I didn’t like the controller, but considering how much I love the G7 itself, the code is like a cherry on top. Okay, I know this has been a long review, but a couple final thoughts: Before buying the G7, the PS4 controller was my favorite to date. The Series S|X stock controller was my least favorite controller of any recent console generation (much worse to me than the 360 controller, which I liked and used for many years with no issues), and it had actually begun to ruin my experience with my Series X and made me want to not play any more. Mercifully, the G7 has completely transformed my experience with my Series X. Not only is it a huge step up from the stock controller for me, but after spending some time on my PS4 recently, I can say the G7 is definitely my favorite controller ever. I get excited just to use it. I will literally be at work sometimes thinking about how much I love the texture and buttons on this thing. Everything about the G7 is so well thought out and the craftsmanship is remarkably high. This is all subjective, of course, you may not like the feel of the buttons or the texture etc. and the cord might be a hassle for you. And a lot of people love the stock controller as-is. But at the very least, if you have large hands like me I would 100% recommend giving this a shot, as the shape of it has been an absolute life-saver for me. I have had this for almost three months now playing several times a week, and it has been perfect. If anything goes wrong with it I will update this review, but considering how incredibly well made every part of the G7 feels, I expect to get many years of use out of it.

I’m incredibly impressed with this “budget” controller! It has weight and feel equal to a name brand controller and even has “clicky” buttons and good, positive analog triggers. I experience zero stick drift out of the box, which I was concerned about being a lower priced controller. The swappable face plates are genius and work exactly as advertised. I’ve found I really love the white! For the PC, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by this excellent value - so far 100% compatibility and snappy, predictable performance. Nice product!

Bought the GameSir G7 Wired Controller and used it for the Xbox Series X and was so excited to use it. Pulled it out of the box and it looked and felt amazing, unfortunately I quickly realized that the controller Jack for the headset was broken unless it was on mute. Once muted things sounded perfectly fine. The issue occurred while on unmute. Which for me isn’t going to work as I tent to talk to friends while playing online and have my sound come directly through the headset rather then the tv. When unmuted the games sounded echoey, fuzzy and low, no one could hear me speaking and I couldn’t hear them. I quickly returned it and asked for a replacement as I want to use the control properly. I will update my review once the new control is received and used. Returned my second controller for a full refund due to it also being faulty. I mean I know you get what you pay but for this seems to be a bit of a joke, I really enjoyed using it until it broke not even two weeks after replacing the first one. The Left side of the controller stopped working properly. Left trigger had a mind of its own and would do stuff by itself. The analog stick when pressed in to sprint would squeak and start zooming in while I was mid run, completely stopping my movement.

Has superior build quality and way more features than the oem xbox controller for a better price. Very comfortable. The usb c cable is very durable and fits very snug. Swappable faceplates is a nice touch. Small features like the built in mic mute button are really nice improvements. Some people might not like that it is wired, but i enjoy not having to fuss with charging or replacing batteries and the cable is quite long. Honestly wish I would've bought one of these ages ago.

I wiped out the left thumb switch after less than 30 day. It now binds, sticks, and clunks. Amazon replacement on the way. Over-all I liked the controller. Extremely similar to a Microsoft issued. I like the concept. The buttons are responsive, and the Hall Effect joysticks feel smooth. Until they break anyway. We will give the replacement one a chance. I actually have another GameSir. I'll try it next. By the way, I'm playing Horizons West. Very intensive sticking. Good game (as long as I'm reviewing stuff) A few days later: I received a new replacement but I'm having the same left thumb switch breakdown. I'll admit, i have a pretty heavy thumb. That button makes you run faster. My brain says faster, faster. It doesn't make you go faster if you push harder :-) Wow, loving Horizons West. Try it. You will want to run faster too! Anyway, I reordered but a GameSIR G7 SE this time! I thought this stick was an SE in Black. It appears the SE is only available in white. The SE is newer.

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.😔

very good

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!

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.

Only downside is the d-pad for fighting games. Build quality and mechanical buttons are top notch.
