Gamesir G7 SE or G7 HE | Which Is Better?

[@Cal316326]

Got the SE for free with MS reward points to replace my series S controller cant power on suddenly. Love it over the Series S controller. Just got the ironman version of the HE and tbh I prefer the SE. Or I just need time to get used to the tactile feel and rubber grips that I never experienced before this

[@ArlyOfficial]

@@Cal316326 Yeah the HE took me a while to get used to, and I did prefer the SE at first. But the HE does feel better after you have used it for a week or two, the rubber grip on the back is definitely my favourite

[@Dreadeyeknight]

Interesting How many reward points did you need to get the SE?

[@robertwarf3316]

@dreadeyeknight I assume they got it on Amazon after exchanging their rewards points for an Amazon gift card. If you're not familiar you can easily get a few hundred points every day. More if you play on pc and console regularly

[@PunyThief]

@Cal316326 i also want to know how many ms points it costed plus how u got it?

[@xjoalx]

Same issue with the RT here. Feels "weird" with racing games. Great video!

[@ArlyOfficial]

@@xjoalx I’m hoping a software update does come along to fix this. Have you tried a manual calibration? I wouldn’t use this controller for racing games anyway, there are other controllers and wheels I would choose. I would say this controller is just ideal for FPS games

[@xjoalx]

@@ArlyOfficial yes, but did not change. But overall I'm happy with controller, no issues with other types of games.

I have the SE and I literally love this thing I used to buy elite series 2 controllers literally everything 3-6 months because of the stupid stick drift this is literally WAYY better I’ve been using it for over a year maybe 2 or so and it’s a beast for FPS or any game in that matter at first I disliked it soo hard because it felt totally different but 4 days later I couldn’t put it down I got it pimped out with side grips and control freaks and custom faceplate

[@cowhead0201]

Im on to my 2nd elite 2 of the year and am about to give up with them. Been seeing loads of reviews for alternatives and the HE gets rave reviews. A question. Is it hard to adapt to the input feel of the Hall effect sticks?

[@ItzNickzy]

@@cowhead0201 not at all. its gonna take time to adjust to any change but if anything i'd say it feels a lot better. they are great controllers. ive used 4 elites for competitve play in cod. the gamesirs feel great. definitely give it a shot

So the control freaks definitely make the g7 se better?

@@Dreadeyeknight its personal preference, so they def could. i'd give em a try :)

[@ThaOrthodoX]

Recently got an SE to replace my 7 month old Series X controller that was already plagued with stick drift 🙄 I love it but the 1000 hz polling doesn't seem to work. 500hz is the sweet spot for a 2ms response time. I also can't seem to use any USB cable other than the one that's shipped with the controller

[@ArlyOfficial]

@@ThaOrthodoX the 1000Hz doesn’t work on Xbox consoles, only PC. The supplied USB C cable is designed for the controller to avoid bending and breaking the connector

I like the switches in the face buttons on the HE, but the switches in the dpad require way too much force and lead to fatigue quickly.

I have the HE and the RT won't calibrate , so i can't end the calibration . in god of war in the select menu were you need LT /RT to navigate , i press once it regiter multible inputs half of the time, my motherboard tries to power off some usbs sometimes i believe so the controller becomes unrecognized sometimes , i solved this be removing the power saving option on the USB. other then that it's very good i like using it , very responsive .

@@ArlyOfficial thx, it seems very common because i saw you find the problem on two controllers in the video.

[@Chocoflxnn]

So make sure when you put the he it says g7 he and not se I also think this makes it wonky lol he should’ve had its own software tbh but the controller feels a lot better than the se tbh I like that the tension is a little tighter than the se

[@MonderMatrix]

@@Chocoflxnn for me i didn't try the G7 SE but those mechanical bottons and the small dead zone on the sticks (i made them smaller on the software) they are really sweet . and i ordered the Vader 4 pro from AliBaba for 57,69 Euro, it should arrive in two weeks or i get scammed. the prices on AliBaba are dynamic and unpredictible so price you might get is not fixed.

[@Chocoflxnn]

Alright has anyone notice if you hold down the left trigger to aim does it get stuck in ads? Both my he and se are doing it but it only does it when the left trigger is held down for a while or press the button hard sometimes but once u touch another button or the analogs it goes back to normal just notice this last night

[@goingviral8917]

I have the G7 SE already But thinking of getting the G7 HE or the new PowerA Fusion Pro 4 wired as it has Hall Effect sticks now But G7 HE is £40 ish PowerA Fusion Pro 4 is £70 Wanted something slightly different but is double the price worth it? I had the Fusion Pro 2 before but as all PowerA it got stick drift but was a great controller Thank you and subbed

[@ArlyOfficial]

@@goingviral8917 My absolute favourite of them all is the G7SE, however I wish it had the rubber grip on the back like the HE (probably will look at trying to install one myself later). The Fusion pro 4 having the hall effect sticks should mean they last longer, but they still don't feel as good to use as the gamesir ones. The HE is great also, but unless you really want the tactile switches in the face buttons and d pad, I would just stick with the G7 SE

[@djsky2k8]

The HE is bugged, the 1000hz polling rate doesn't work and I have the same issue where right trigger cannot be calibrated

[@ArlyOfficial]

@@djsky2k8 yeah a lot of HE models seem to be like this. The SE does sound like it’s working a lot better so maybe return to swap it out for an SE instead?

Im thinking of getting the HE as im onto my 2nd Elite 2 of the year as they just get stick drift so quickly, and to where you have to have above 10 on the COD Deadzone setting. Do these hold up against the input delay of the elites 2's?

[@ArlyOfficial]

@@cowhead0201 the G7 HE will be the solution to all your problems. If stick drift develops then you just recalibrate it and it will be dead centre again. I’ve had mine for 3 months nearly now, and I’ve never had to calibrate it and I run 0 deadzones. The sticks are super accurate. Also the controllers are twice as fast as the elite series 2 on Xbox, and on PC you can over clock to 1000Hz to make it 8x faster

Does the ABXY buttons on the HE hold their input if you press another button? I read one thing that may be irrelevant, now I'm unsure if I should get the HE or not. Like if I hold A to jump/mantle, but press Y between the jump and mantle, will it still mantle or do you have to press A again?

[@ArlyOfficial]

@@jeffb6276 it works exactly the same as an original Xbox controller and the G7 SE. So holding any button while tapping another will still register, it will hold the input. Hope this helps!

@jeffb6276 a hundred dollar & pertinent question, why it didn't come in my mind? Even though same scenario applies in mechanical (switches)keyboard so here consequences are exactly same, in controller case as well, so if HE does work same as mechanical keyboard then it does make sense otherwise its trash.
