This controller is much better than oryginal one.Better comfort,better analog sticks,better d-pad,much better face buttons,two back buttons,better triggers,main volume and chat mix volume control,mic mute button,vibration motors in triggers…Only downside is wire.

In my opinion this thing blows away the regular Xbox controller and most other..the a,b,x,y buttons feel like mouse clicks. There's not that loose feeling of the buttons when pressed. The software lets you choose if you want the four area of rumbles enabled, or at what percentage. Buttons can be remapped or disabled (great for those that panic hit R3 ). Back buttons can be remapped on the fly. Software enables 3 profiles to be saved. Can't speak on the sticks since I use kontrol Freeks but the sticks have perfect tension (note, only ps5 kontrol freeks will work). I bought two of these at $42 and $36 respectively from Amazon and have zero regrets. I currently own two of these, two Xbox elites, 2 Xbox elite 2, profusion A, 2 turtle beach recons and a victrix gambit..out of all of those, only the victrix gambit to me is better all around.

less coust for mechanical button on xbox g7 gamesir...

[@3191nato]

Do the PS5 Kontrol Freeks that you use on this fit perfectly or are they loose?

[@mocorleone1]

@@3191nato I use the newer kontrol freeks with the 4 prongs and it takes a little effort to put them on, so they don't move at all..the older 3 prong versions don't fall off but you can spin them once installed. I've used my g7 for probably 40 hours and they've never fallen off.

[@mocorleone1]

@@3191nato no, the ps5 kontrol Freeks..the Xbox Kontrol Freeks don't come close to fitting on the g7 controller.

Apologies for the re-upload everyone. I had some unedited bits in my timeline that got rendered and posted that. I've cleaned that up so it's concise.

[@demoflow]

Just get it. It's an awesome controller for that price and 2 back buttons it's actually nice AF . I don't know how long is gonna last but I'm loving mine

[@SparksV]

Great overview. Do the backbuttons get recognized by games, without the Gamesir software enabled?

[@ThePhawx]

Yea you can program them on the controller itself.

[@fwabble]

It DOES astound me anybody would prefer gross membrane over micro switch - but there's always outlying cases such as yourself.

[@themigwel6185]

First time I heard someone liking membrane over mecha tactile buttons.

[@3191nato]

Hey, have you tried Kontrol Freeks with these and if so what fits best?

[@RealziesCuts]

No matter how your video turns out I’m already sold on this controller easily more than worth the money for $45. It will be great when we actually get first party controllers with these face buttons! I can’t believe my elite V2 has went bad now. Lasted exactly a year and now the shoulder bumper buttons are going defective and I’m throwing grenades before I’m ready to let them go on call of duty 🤣🤦‍♂️ Damn Microsoft 🥶

[@TheAceRay]

im literally buying this controller because its an xbox controller with ps5 sticks, the perfect controller is finally here

[@thequestion85]

Idk what sticks they potentiametors they used in the elite series 2 but iv had mine over a yr and play fps game daily and no drift at all . What ever those sticks are should be the industry standard for alps sensors.

[@KapinKrunch]

40 is a good price and I like the back buttons

[@tumblingworm737]

Regular series controllers don't have back paddles. That's what gamers are buying this for. Idk what you on

[@blaizex]

Is it possible to map the Rear-Buttons to key on keyboard?

[@Yoko.Kurama]

The best xbox controller ive used is Razer Wolverine V2

[@prestigephoenix2314]

Anybody have an issue with the 3.5mm jack. Difficult getting headset in. Makes a worrying noise as if it’s breaking

[@jbman9882]

i have the same issue, did yours get fixed?

[@prestigephoenix2314]

@@jbman9882 no. I sent it back and got a replacement. It does the exact same thing so I just kept this one. Don’t know if it’s a fault or just the way it is

[@jbman9882]

@@prestigephoenix2314weird ok thanks

[@leonydus9889]

Domed sticks will always be superior over concave sticks cause they give you the best grip/accuracy and overal control

[@Motornationz]

Once you put the dome sticks on, this thing is PERFECT!

Does anyone know The CuleedTek Wireless Controller works on series s?

[@borabayrak8976]

Is it suitable for playing gamepass games on pc ?

[@belladonnasbat5816]

Yes it works with windows 10/11

[@user-bd7un3im6n]

Does it connect to Cronus zen

[@alessandrodm1978]

Questo pad ha seri problemi: ne ho già testati 2 e negli fps, dopo qualche giorno di utilizzo, la mira si attiva da sola casualmente. Soprattutto quando si muove la levetta analogica destra. Sembra che ci sia un falso contatto. Una delusione totale. Testatelo a fondo e capirete quello che dico.

Do kontrol freaks fit on them

[@playzzwrld5935]

Did you ever find out if they did?

[@fret9516]

@@playzzwrld5935never got the controller and I don’t think they would. Maybe ps5 kontrol freaks would but who knows 🤷‍♂️
