GameSir G7 HE review - Great wired Xbox style controller

[@nihilistblues]

This is a fire video, you are very underrated

[@BytesNBits]

Appreciate that

[@nihilistblues]

@ please make a video like this on the g7 pro when it releases

[@dalwindersingh2322]

Nice explanation of hall effect sensors

[@BytesNBits]

Glad you liked it!

[@sumonedum]

For real I wasn't expecting the electrical engineering lesson, but I feel smarter now

[@Venomenn]

Best controler I ve ever held in my hands! The mechanical buttons are amazing, and once you tried it , it not easy to go back. Super worth the money !

[@BytesNBits]

Thanks for sharing.

[@Lloyd.B.]

You can lock the back button on the SE version - why on earth would they remove that?.. He is the latest version I think...

[@BytesNBits]

I wasn't aware of that. Not sure why they'd remove features.

[@ronm6585]

Thanks Bytes N Bits.

[@BytesNBits]

Hope you found it useful

[@Ballyy33]

is there much difference between this and the SE or is just the switch difference?

[@BytesNBits]

I'm not sure if there's any internal differences but that looks like the only difference on the sales blurb.

[@Lloyd.B.]

There are no locks for the back buttons on the newer HE version.

[@tiogabi]

How long is the cable?

[@BytesNBits]

3m

[@shirleyfu4081]

I'm hesitating whether to buy G7HE or Manba One V2🤔

[@BytesNBits]

I guess it's really a personal choice.

[@g4z-kb7ct]

That X on top is very curious... I wonder if they licensed that logo as it's a registered Microsoft trademark. This is why all the chinese knock-offs don't have the X logo on top....

[@BytesNBits]

I'm not sure.

[@hyspecs7906]

Yep, it is licensed by Microsoft. What Microsoft don't allow is wireless controller making, because their technology is secret.

[@g4z-kb7ct]

@@hyspecs7906 Yeah it's using a custom microcontroller that the Chinese haven't reversed (...YET hehe!). The xbox360 knock-offs all say they are for PC only and don't work with an actual xbox360. Although I have not checked it myself as I own 3 original controllers so I don't need to buy a chinese copy.

[@TheShenanigans85]

​@@hyspecs7906it's no secret when Nintendo has the same frequency as Xbox sooooo about that

[@bladeshred01]

Yes this is officially licensed product by Microsoft. it's on the box and you also see the green on the bottom of the box. you can only do that through licensing from Microsoft

[@g4z-kb7ct]

3:00 The main buttons are always done with conductive rubber pads onto a flat circuit board because using microswitches will be a REALLY bad experience as they will fail very quickly. Microswitches have a rated life of a few hundred thousand presses to a few million presses. It would be very easy to use up the life of those switches in a year with frequent use. Because they are not using conductive pads for the main buttons this is a giant engineering FAIL.... back to the old drawing board for revision 2 ;-)

[@BytesNBits]

I take your point. I have to admit I prefer the feel of the switches. It's a bit more like the arcade button feel.

[@g4z-kb7ct]

@@BytesNBits Arcade switches are totally different. Plus they are cheap, large and can be swapped out in a couple of minutes using push spade connectors. If that controller is using common microswitches then they could be changed. I would like to see inside that thing before dropping any dollars on buying one. Even the official xbox360 controller did not escape that issue. The L1 and L2 shoulder buttons use cheap clicky microswitches and they fail after some time. I got an old one from a friend and swapped out the L1 & L2 buttons and it's working ok now but they will fail again in a few years.

[@tommikoistinen2321]

Gamesir have said their micro switches has a lifespan of 3 million presses.

[@g4z-kb7ct]

There is a YT vid about hall-effect analog joysticks about 1 year ago. Some guy designed it and gave away the design for free heh! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXLWo3-ulqaej5I

[@BytesNBits]

Thanks for the info. I'll take a look.

[@alexandern3710]

haha I'm first

[@Itzelders]

And?
