GameSir G7 SE Wired Controller Review (GameSir G7 SE Review)

[@spademan3]

Didn’t realize I’d see a childhood friend doing a review for a controller I just bought lol

[@UNBOXTECHIE]

No shot! I can't tell from your profile who you are? Reach out to me on TikTok @VegasKid700 if you don't want to say here! That's wilddddddd!

[@Glockuto2]

For anyone considering this controller over a PowerA, definitely go for this controller. I've had 6 different PowerA controllers over the past two years and they are extremely prone to mechanical and software issues(a common issue for me was pressing one button and having it actuate a completely separate input as well). This controller so far blows any PowerA controller or other controller within it's price range out of the water.

[@GySgt_USMC_Ret.]

After my second PowerA failed, I bought the SE. Been using it a few weeks now. So far, it works very well.

[@ahadzovinstinct40]

I'm curious, why is the PowerA failed?

[@Splatzhimself]

​@ahadzovinstinct40 I bought a power a for my pc and it got unplayable stick drift on day 27 don't reccomend power a

[@GySgt_USMC_Ret.]

@ahadzovinstinct40 Left stick drift. G7 SE still working very well.

When I updated my controller it just started blinking

[@gates69]

Try this. It stopped mine from blinking after I updated it. 1. Hold the View + Menu + Xbox buttons until the USB-C cable is inserted into the PC's USB port. The indicator will slowly blink white. 2. Ensure that LT & RT and the left & right joysticks are not touched. Then Press the A button. The indicator will go out. 3. Press LT & RT to their maximum travel. Rotate the joysticks at their maximum angles for 3 times. Press the A button. The indicator becomes solid white to indicate the calibration is over. 4. After the calibration is over, it's required to unplug and re-plug the controller before us

[@sharpballer7751]

How do you update a controller

[@jordannelson2897]

Same for me. Did you find out how to fix it?

[@vrezzii.o]

What does the little hole do behind the back sticker?

[@bimi4057]

Great controller for a cheap price. Cable is long but gets easily tangled so be careful. Having to never deal with stick drift is awesome. The two back buttons are very nice. I wish they made a wireless option because I'd buy one.

[@Pixels487]

2 question, 1: can it be wireless? 2 how long is the cord

[@yisus__mt09]

It ain’t wireless and i think cord is 2 or 3m long

[@supersmurf1612]

You do get a wireless one but it's hard to find and I think it's called the G4 not G7.

[@UNBOXTECHIE]

It's a decently long cord! And no it's not wireless. I'm not sure the company GameSir offers a wireless controller for xbox.

[@supersmurf1612]

@@UNBOXTECHIE it's the GameSir Nova that's wireless.

How's the vibration compare to X box series X original controller? 🤔

[@Vlad_Shoji]

I've got one for my Xbox series X,and all I have to say is that when I grab the original gamepad after this gamesir,it feels like a downgrade,Gamesir did very good job,very nice gamepad,feels smooth and solid

[@ToastyTM]

the only thing i care about is input delay and how fast the sticks start to feel like shit. i absolutely hate the default xbox controller because of how noticeable the input delay is from ps and the stick felt like gravel after a week but the shape was soooo good.

[@rudyramos4816]

I got one for 31$ i hope it works good since i wantwd to try something different ive always used regular remotes so this seems like a good option

[@robertkvasnika5852]

Hopefully the quality is better than my Gamesir T3s that lasted only 3 weeks after which the left trigger stopped working, just be careful with this brand.

[@Grandmaster-Kush]

My 8bitdo pro 2 lasted 4 months before the shoulder button caved in, in comparison my launch day DS3 for the PS3 Slim lasted to this day which is what 13 years, and my DS4 lasted since launch day too 8-9 years, never touching 8bitdo and I hoped Gamesir had better QA

[@robertkvasnika5852]

@@Grandmaster-Kush I just bought the Easysmx x10 which is similar to the Gamesir G7SE, it has Hall Effect sticks and triggers and it's programmable (I assigned my L3 and R3 buttons to the M1 and M2 buttons under the controller very easily). So far very precise and smooth, I just hope it will last but for now I like it. I bought it on offer for 43 euros on Amz.

How you can clean it after 6 months triggers started to be too sensitive

[@Nigeriaman-dsss]

I was skeptical about this controller since power a looks quite similar and breaks really fast but upon further inspection it seems higher quality (I would hope so since it cost 20 more than the power a controllers)

[@Psmgamer]

Mine arrives Tuesday in the mail.

[@moimoi1372]

[@martyfromnebraska1045]

My fifth standard Xbox controller developed stick drift in 2 or so years since I got the Series S. Sick of it. Mine arrives Wednesday. Hope it doesn't have any major problems. I only play single player games so I'm not looking to get super sweaty or anything. I'm just beyond tired of paying $60 to replace the controller. Haven't had this problem with any other console.

[@Psmgamer]

@martyfromnebraska1045 I bought my nephew the Series S controller last December and in six months got stick drift. I never paid more than $60 as I always get the controller on sale for $40.

[@SpiceGamingWow]

@@fateerah851 if you have small to medium hands then it should be comfortable,it about the same as a regular.

That's too bad! I have pretty average sized hands. You might check out the Kaleid or Kaleid Flux by GameSir I own both of them in addition to this G7 SE and they are VERY similar, but the Kaleid is slightly larger I noticed. Not a ton, but a little bit! If you hit that related link in the description, it should come up!

[@robertkvasnika5852]

If you just look for a robust, reliable and everlasting controller without all the extras like Hall effect and so forth, just a good basic controller for the PC, the logitech F310 is indestructible, we have 3 in the family and after thousands of hours each they are still working like the very first day. Probably not a good option for hardcore gamers who need to customize everything but perfect for a family with kids that needs something that last forever and works fine, for that the f310 is bulletproof.

[@saquial]

I liked it at first, but my controller has had a constant issue where the right trigger activates by itself. Nothing we’ve done has fixed it, so personally I wouldn’t recommend it.

One thing I don't like about this controller is the fact that you can't do directional controls on your left and right thumbs ticks. It's oh so close to being perfect if they just included that and two more paddles on the backside. Outside of that the controller feels absolutely amazing
