GameSir G7 HE Wired XBOX Controller,Hall Effect Sticks

Works well and is comfortable to hold. There's no stick drift whatsoever and there's an app that connects to your controller so you can recalibrate your sticks if ever needed or remap buttons/adjust sensitivity etc. The cable length is very good and you often forget it's not a wireless controller. The money saved by buying the wired version is worth it in my opinion.

Really reliable piece of hardware, I've been using this instead of my xbox controller for a few months now and not even a hint of stick drift in sight. I prefer the grip to the xbox controller too. It is wired but the cable is really long and quite durable. Totally worth what I paid for it

Until hunting for a new controller I had no idea that hall effect sensors were a thing. I was looking to replace yet another victim of stick-drift. I must have lost ten controllers to this since the Xbox 360 came out. I was also looking for a controller with the additional assignable buttons undernetah the controller as they make great gear shifters in racing games. My Turtle Beach React-R was great until stick-drift happened (after 12 months). I'd never heard of GameSir and was skeptical, so I took a look at some YT videos before ordering... ... I quickly put the order in as the only "fault" people were stating was that this controller is wired. I actually prefer a wired controller as I play in one place anyway. Batteries are a pain in the arse to me, and an additional expense, even if just charging power. The controller feels great. It didn't feel smaller to me, as some say. The G7 HE is the only one of GameSir's controllers that I consider suited to a grown-up (i.e. Black finish, no silly colours). I didn't like the G7 SE's white and green look. The HE also has a rubberised finish which feels nice all night. As for it's hall effect thumbsticks and triggers - they feel sublime after my last controller. In driving games my throttle and braking has become considerably more precise. The triggers only reach 100% AT 100% trigger, unlike any other controller I'd used. This is something I was able to quickly set up in the simple and free Xbox App. You can completely eliminate any deadzone in there on triggers and sticks. Set it how you like it. You can select "hair trigger" if shooting's your thing. Shooting in GTA just became easier with this controller too. I use free aim and whilst partially depressing the trigger, you will aim the gun without firing (R'n'G), allowing you to run about whilst aiming. Taking the trigger all the way will then fire. On my last controller I was constantly either letting off shots or dropping the gun as I couldn't accurately hold the trigger in "the zone". Finally, something that nobody ever reports on, but I find an essential quality - Sound. Nothing special, nothing nasty. It's just fine and as you'd expect. I have one controller in my cupboard that was barely used because whilst it worked just fine, when talking with others in party chat, my voice came through to others like an old 1950's reording. Tinny and cheap sounding. I'm glad to report that nobody noticed any sound issues in party chat, I sound just fine. I did notice though that using this controller, mic-monitoring was turned on by default, allowing me to partially hear my own voice in the party chat. I hate this, while some choose it. I had to turn off mic-monitoring in the party options. On the whole, this has to be the best controller I've ever used. Including a Razer, which I loved at the time but even that got stick-drift. [EDIT] Since reviewing this, I finally got fed up over the mic-monitoring issue (having to turn it off each time), so I serached for a solution. I only found others with the same issue but no answer, so I decided to try GameSir's customer service. They responded to my email within 24 hrs and included an apology for the 'late' reply with a suggestion to upgrade to the latest driver (v2.4.0). Mine was on v2.3.3 and the app said that this was up to date. Luckily, the customer service response also included manual upgrade instructions, a video and the v2.4.0 firmware update - I was able to do this on PC and it has fixed my issue. In summary, this is an excellent controller. Now with the latest firmware my only issue has been fixed and I had a first class experience with their customer service support. At this price, it's an absolute no-brainer unless you really have an issue with it being a wired controller.

Big upgrade from the official Xbox controller. This is my fourth controller for pc gaming, I've owned a few official Xbox controllers and another licensed one so have quite a bit of experience using Xbox gamepads. After using the Gamesir G7 HE for roughly 5 hours, I can safely say this is a major upgrade from the official Xbox controller. I've had to repair my old Xbox controller 3 times due to stick drift and the bumper button breaking, so I wanted to find something more robust. The best thing about the G7 is it uses hall effect joysticks and triggers as opposed to the inferior potentiometers in the official Xbox controllers. Since the hall effect joysticks and triggers use magnets instead of more moving parts, they're a lot less likely to fail and develop faults like drift. They also feel a lot more responsive. The spring and return on the joysticks is firmer and faster which results in a much better gaming experience. I tested it with F1 24 and rocket league and it worked really well for both. The build quality feels a bit nicer than the standard official Xbox controller. The silicone grips are nice and the buttons are nice and clicky. They are advertised as being mechanical rather than membrane and they certainly feel better. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is the firmware/software. I had trouble manually calibrating the controller, I had to look on YouTube for extra help with the instructions. I also can't assign the back buttons manually. I will try with the nexus software but have seen other have had issues recently with it. This is often a problem with third party controllers as Microsoft has all the proprietary software and firmware which is an advantage. Another downside is it is only wired, but for me this isn't an issue as I play wired anyway as I'm on PC and also don't want to faff about with batteries. Over all I'm really happy with my purchase, hopefully I'll be able to assign the back buttons using the software, I'd 100% recommend this over the official controllers which break quite easily. Just be aware you may have to mess about with software and getting it calibrated properly.

What a bargain. A superb buy for anyone looking for an xbox wired controller, well balanced, mouse click buttons and the app lets u customize everything. Would highly recommend to anyone.

This controller is absolutely amazing and such good value for money. No stick drift at all and feels really comfortable in the hands, looks nice too. Out performs the official Xbox controller in every way.

Extremely impressed with this controller - at a similar price to the official Xbox controllers it is superior in practically every way. The Hall effect sticks and triggers are superb, the mechanical face buttons are incredibly satisfying to click, the build quality is noticeably better than the official controllers, the rubber grips are a nice touch, the included USB-C cable is braided, a generous length, and has a Velcro cable tie attached to it. The wired connection is also incredibly low-latency - easily one of the most responsive controllers I’ve ever used. It even has additional QOL features such as built-in audio controls, and rear-mounted mappable L4 & R4 paddles (although they can only act as a secondary input for the standard Xbox buttons - you can’t map these paddles as individual inputs unfortunately - though this is a limitation of Xinput rather than a design issue). This controller demonstrates a level of quality that even the £100+ Xbox “Pro” controllers from Microsoft hardly come close to - and for less than half the price. And to top it off, you get a month of Xbox Gamepass ultimate included for free - awesome. The only thing I would say is that it unfortunately has no wireless capability, although this is due to Microsoft’s licensing policy rather than Gamesir themselves - so can’t really fault their product for Microsoft’s nonsense. I’ve never used a Gamesir product before, but I’m thoroughly impressed with this one and it deserves all the praise I’ve seen online - Microsoft could learn a thing or two from these guys. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for something a step above the official controllers… without even having to pay extra.

The actual pad itself is great, no issues there, what is the main issue is the wire. I have had this pad for months now and for the past 2 months i have noticed the wire is really poor, i will be sat here playing a game then i might adjust how im seated or move the pad slightly as im holding it and it will disconnect. I cant tell you how many times i have been playing fifa with my friend, and as were on the attack my pad dc's and lose the ball, so if your looking to get this, get a different wire, currently im looking for a different one myself now and thought id let everyone else know too, the pad is great but the wire is awful. Edit: Okay so now, just 20 mins after writing the review, now my pad just wont work... Was formerly a 3 star review, now 1 star. Terrible product cause the wire messes it all up. A shame as the controller felt good,but they cheaped out on the wire and made it designed to be faulty. Do not purchase!!!

Fiyati 3600 lira iken aldim bunu karsilastirma yapmaniz icin ozellikle belirtiyorum. Bu fiyatta en iyi kumanda olduguna yuzde yuz garanti veririm. Metal switch tuslara bayildim. Bunlardan uzun suredir kurtulmak icin bekliyordum, bircok bu fiyattaki kumanda kablosuz ama plastik tuslara sahip. PS3 Official kumandalar ve uzun zamandir budget kumandalarla ugrastigimdan oturu,plastik tuslardan nefret etmeye baslamistim. Cogu zaman o geri bildirim hissi olmadigindan cok zorluk cekiyordum. Piller PS3 kumandasinda gomuludur. Icini acip yenilersiniz, sahibi degilim ama PS4-PS5 icin de oyle ve tam tersine onlarda bu pil degisimi daha da zorlasmis ornek olarak. Xbox icin arka kapaktan halledilir ama gene pil sarj et veya yeni pil al bana hizli kabak tadi vermeye basladigindan artik full kablolu benim icin ikinci onemli ozelliklerden biri. Tahminimce yeni kumanda satalim diye millete bu tip kablolu kumandalar azalacak, sadece ondan yedek olsun diye bile bu kumandayi almanizi tavsiye edebilirim diyim. Kablosu buarada takilip cikartabilir oldugundan tahminimce daha uzun bir kablo almak isterseniz onuda yapabilirsiniz diye dusunuyorum. Bildiginiz normal USB-C den USB-A ye kablo, bir sey degil yani. Ben buarada GameSir Tegenaria Lite sahibiyim. Onunda kumanda kasasi cok kaliteli bir hisse sahip bununda. Aradaki en buyuk var tuslarin hissi. Ikisindede rumble var. Ikiside kablolu, ama onun kablo baglantisi ana kasaya o kadar sert ve dayanikli gozukmuyor, ama fiyati da ona goreydi, 1600 lira civarinda. Tavsiyem plastik tuslardan uzaklasip bunu bir kere denemenizdir. Bence kesinlikle hosunuza gidecektir.

O controle é sensacional, o aperto dos botões é muito suave e confortável, e os analógicos são muito mais precisos e sensíveis, talvez até demais kkk, jogo muito EA FC e demorei a me adaptar com o controle da GameSir, pois sempre fui muito acostumado ao original da Microsoft. Não uso o controle a muito tempo então não posso falar do drift. Mas se você está tão preocupado assim com o Drift, adote como boas práticas sempre guardar o controle após o uso, protegendo os analógicos com os protetores que vem na caixa, proteja-os também da poeira e umidade e não force muito o analógico se ele já está no limite(faço muito isso quando dou uma tiltado). Para que não está acostumado a jogar com cabo, tenha em mente que o controle só funciona com ele, mas o cabo não atrapalha tanto e é bem longo, desconheço um SETUP que tenha uma distância maior do que o cabo entre o controle e o monitor/console/PC, e o encaixe do fio no controle é uma cavidade com encaixe muito firme, evitando qualquer tipo de mau contato. Enfim, vi muitas pessoas falando que não voltariam ao controle convencional da Microsoft, e não entendia como o controle poderia ser tão diferente. A experiência própria é a única forma de entender realmente, e também não voltarei mais a comprar o controle da Microsoft.

Despues de años usando gamepads como el oficial de xbox, victrix pro, power A y últimamente el Gulikit kk3 Max puedo decir que este mando esta en otro nivel. La sensación al usarlo durante varios minutos es espectacular y conforme van pasando las horas más comodo me parece. Juego competitivo de simracing y he podido configurar la vibración y el recorrido ideal de los gatillos y las palancas gracias al software de Gamesir. Empezando por el tacto de los botones y los triggers. Los botones son clicky pero a la vez resultan suaves a la pulsación y los gatillos son muy comodos y no generan ninguna molesta incluso con largas sesiones de juegos en los que se abusa de los gatillos. La goma que lleva ademas de servir para mejorar el agarre aumenta la sensación de comodidad y le aporta una gran diferencia con respecto al Gamesir G7 SE. Para mi es una ventaja que la conexión sea por cable ya que consigue un poling rate de 1000hz. Ha sido un descubrimiento e indagué bastante antes de comprarlo pero he de decir que por el precio que tiene y viendo la competencia que existe actualmente, bajo mi punto de vista no tiene rival.

I am utterly disgusted with the product I received. Made a good day turn into a horrible one. Would rate zero but that is not an option.

Update: August 19th, 2025: Back in June I started experiencing occasional double-click issues with the A button. At the time I didn't know if it was me or the game I was playing. It was a menu specific issue in just one game and I wasn't able to notice the issue in any other game. I worked around the issue in that game until well into July, but this controller went on sale so I ordered another one. I finally got around to testing the new controller on August 10th and the double-click issue could not be reproduced with the new controller so I contacted support. After sending them a video showing the issue they promptly responded asking where to send the replacement controller. I responded on the 12th and on the 13th they let me know they had requested the seller send me the replacement. That replacement controller was delivered on the 18th! Wow, this is probably the best support experience I've ever had! Due to this I'm upgrading my rating to 5 stars. Note: Any product you purchase might fail before it's time. The support you receive when that happens separates the good companies from the bad. This is a good company in my book! ---Original Review Below--- I have been using this controller on my Windows 11 PC to play Steam games for almost two weeks now and so far I'm satisfied. To me it works very well, has the extra paddles that are a lifesaver, and comes at a somewhat reasonable price. Pros: Hall Effect sticks - Basically the parts that are used to determine where the sticks are located use magnets instead of physical contact so they shouldn't wear out as quickly. The reason I ordered this controller is because I wore out my last controller's left stick in just two years. I hope this one lasts longer. Clickity Click Buttons - These buttons use actual switches instead of membranes to give you a tactile feedback similar to a mechanical keyboard. This gives them a solid feel instead of the mushy feeling of a membrane switch. Paddles that can be mapped - The back paddles are the real deal and make me very happy. So many games require you to press either Left Stick (LS) or Right Stick (RS) repeatedly for things like running or zooming in and it makes my hands hurt. The ability to add a mapping to one of these paddles as an alternate is huge! Quick Change Profiles - Should you need a profile for something special in game you can switch between profiles instantly. Are the paddle mappings getting activated when you don't want them to? Just switch to the default profile until you need them, then switch it back as needed. It's pretty seamless. Cons: Size/shape - For some reason the size and shape of this controller feels off. This causes me some issues when switching back and forth between this controller and the OEM. To me this controller feels a bit small and I don't even have large hands, but I did get used to it in time. Button Placement - The Menu and View buttons are too high up on the controller and cause fumbling when trying to locate them in game. On the OEM controller I can reach these buttons without moving my thumbs up from their natural position, but they are above the tips of my thumbs on this controller so I have to reposition to reach them. Once you get used to them and try playing with an OEM controller you have the issues in the other direction. For the next iteration they should consider only moving these buttons up about 1 or 2 millimeters from the OEM at most, but only if required. Otherwise, make it as close to the OEM as possible to avoid this issue. Cable Port - The Cable port is designed such that the USB cable end gets recessed into the front of the controller. While this limits the amount of connector protruding from the front of your controller and helps to prevent breakage, it also limits interchangeability of cables. The cable that came with my Xbox Series X plugged right in, but the one that came with my Xbox Wireless Controller + Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 did not. Don't break that cable, else finding a replacement might prove troubling. Overall, I feel like this is a very good controller so far and I haven't found any reliability or function issues yet. I also downloaded the App to my Xbox Series X and easily configured the controller before attaching it to my PC. I didn't want to install the App on my PC because I already have too many other things installed and it's getting bloated. Even so, the controller functions perfectly without the App installed and that is a huge plus! *Note: The included Game Pass code is only redeemable if you don't already have Game Pass. I do not appreciate this tactic and strongly feel like I am being cheated when I cannot redeem the code included with a product. I mean, I paid the same price for this controller as someone who didn't already have Game Pass. I am not holding GameSir accountable for this though. It's squarely on Microsoft for limiting this code's use.
