Gamesir G7se Sticks Calibration - Trigger Settings & COD setings

[@bbgarnettTotallyNotABot]

Anyone use this for Sports games. I just bought this to replace my original Xbox series controller that has major drift issues which just happened to be two days past its warranty end date. (Luckily they were willing to honor the warranty still) Anyways I mainly play NHL so if anyone has experience what would be some good settings to use/try. Thanks,

What does your key assignment look like? Especially the additional keys would be very interesting!

[@nickm8651]

I thought Hall Effect sticks don't get stick drift. Is it because you're using raw mode or is the ring you installed on the stick causing the stick drift? I just received my G7 SE today and will be plugging it in tomorrow to check for firmware updates etc. Hopefully this is a good controller without stick drift issue.

[@thephototechy]

Hey so I’ve put on about 60-70 hours of serious game time on mine, and the recenter spring has lost some tension. The drift I have is only at rest and some in game deadzones get rid of very easily. This kind of drift is. It game breaking as it won’t affect you aiming, like a worn out potentiometer would be unusable. I’m working on a video comparing potentiometer to Hall effect, but I need to put a lot more hours on my Hall effect sticks first.

SCUF Instinct Thumbsticks are the best sticks for this controller .

[@MusicHard]

Hello buddy. I have a problem with this gamepad. When I press the d-pad down, I double-click on the left side of the d-pad. The d-pad to the left works. Can you help me what can be done in this case. You can take it apart and come up with something. In my opinion, there is a very sensitive membrane there It’s worth it. If you know where to buy a replacement, I’ll be glad.

[@thephototechy]

Hey it’s something I’ve experienced as well in COD. Pressing left or right on Dpad sometimes presses the top as well. Someone pointed out an option of dpad diagonal lock in Nexus and it’s supposed to help with this issue. I haven’t tried it properly yet, as currently playing MW3 beta on PS5. I’ll be using the G7se and Snakebyte’s gamepd pro when the beta is live on Xbox, as the new game needs alot of aggressive right stick movement, way more than any other COD. I’d say try the Dpad diagonal lock option first. I’ve opened this controller and seen the membrane for the DPAD, I do wish they had used the conductive metal dome film underneath it, like the standard series controller and even the normal G7, but we have what we have.

[@MusicHard]

Thank you, my friend, for the answer! I will try to put something under the crosspiece in the form of a rubber ring or other material that would push the crosspiece away. If you also think of something, record a video on this problem! Thanks for your Video!@@thephototechy

I just got this and am having trouble with the left trigger. When I press it it doesn’t have the full range that the right trigger has.

Deadzones are all set to 0 atm, I tried the deadzones/trigger range you recommended and had the same results

[@marvisstcyr248]

I did the calibration right but it won’t let me play on my pc with it

[@thephototechy]

Hey I had an issue with another controller not working on PC for testing, I had to uninstall it from the device manager and reconnect for it to work. I only play on console and use PC just to test, so I don't know all the methods of fixing connection issues.

[@mattymarbs9]

How often should we calibrate? Just when we feel like there’s an issue or should we just do it every once in a while to ensure it’s preforming properly? Or maybe after every update?

[@thephototechy]

Hey so initially I had to do some regular calibrations, but with firmware updates and the spring finally getting to the most loosest position, now I don’t seem to need one in the last month or so. I made a video on how to chose a new centre point for the sticks doing the manual calibration, that’s probably the best reason to recalibrate or if you use linear trigger press and find them acting up then yes recalibrate. Other than that HE sticks aren’t losing any resolution and going out of calibration for me, I’ll be making a video discussing the Ksilver JH16 modules and their characteristics in detail soon.

[@imaSoldier187]

When you calibrate should you use stock mode or does it matter if you calibrate it with raw mode on? I was always curious about this its been a long time since I got an update and prompted to update I don't remember if it resets the settings or not before you calibrate.

[@Coukinou34]

Hey sorry for my poor English I just want to be sure I understood correctly, my aim feel weird since I bought the g7 se, so should i put normal stick not using raw mode and performing calibration even if it’s a brand new controller to get the snappiest effect I had on a normal controller or just put normal stick and using raw mode ? Also I’m on 6.26 version should I update to 6.30 I already have 1000hz option with 6.26 version. Thanks a lot for your video

[@thephototechy]

@@Coukinou34 hey bro, so raw mode will make it a bit more responsive feeling. So if you do find it sluggish then definitely try raw mode. Using raw mode might also need you to increase minimum deadzones, as it can also increase the amount of register at rest position. If your controller is not showing signs of stick register getting stuck even when sticks are centred, then keeping at 6.26 should be fine, if you have the 1000hz enabled. Calibrating is a good idea even if the controller is new, just to be sure the centre points are adjusted correctly and max values reaching when they are supposed to. I’d also recommend doing the calibration after some use, so once the spring lost tension, you might find you need to adjust that centre point again.

[@Stuartgraham123]

are you still going to do full review of thrustmaster controller?

[@thephototechy]

Hey yes definitely doing that very soon. I've had many issues with the controller and all seems to be software related. I did manage to get a good amount of game time with the correct response of the sticks. I didn't want to make a bad review as all the other reviews seems to be very positive, but I'll be explaining in detail whats happned to me and potenially what to look out for.

[@flickhrs3875]

Hello is there a way to make the sticks feel like a normal xbox controller because it seems very different for me

[@coltweest]

Honestly I don’t think so, the benefits of a Hall effect analog stick is to minimize drift but sometimes it feels a little stiff. Maybe I need to re calibrate lol

[@BA3YDADDY]

Do you have any information about when we will see the 1000 polling rate update for the G7 SE ?

[@thephototechy]

Hey so this wasn’t added with the 6.25 version and I haven’t seen anything about a time frame for this feature. Honestly a lot of people are waiting for this and probably purchased this one due to that promise, when we get it only Gamesir knows.

Hey please try the manual calibration method I’ve shown in this video. When you do the calibration make sure gamesir nexus is not running. There is an option of calibration through the software but doing it that way made my triggers not work, I should’ve mentioned that in the video 🤦🏾‍♂️. After the manual calibration test the controller on gamepd tester and nexus software. It might take a couple of tries to solve it.

[@thephototechy]

I think the Hall effects controller will definitely catch up to normal sticks. I have a lot of hope specially now that we have more modules coming out. I do the G7se was in the T4C pro body,I personally don’t like the removable face plate, moves too much for me. I’m playing MW3 beta right now bro and sensitivity had to be brought down to 12-12 for me 😂,it feels so different and they have added additional multipliers for response curve, I can’t seem to get the setting right 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@souleraser5924]

Right stick and left stick range should be at 0?

[@mrspicolli]

0? That isn’t encouraging stick drift? Because the claims on the sticks is there won’t be any stick drift. Yet in the Nexus app, it says if you set it below default sensitivity, you might get stick drift. and you just encouraged going to the lowest settings, so what am I missing here?

[@thephototechy]

Hey so a 10% deadzone will make the controller feel very sluggish, it did to me at least, to the point where I thought it was missing inputs a lot for aiming. Keeping it at 0 introduces drift, but that’s only at rest position and doesn’t interfere with aiming, as when you move the stick that drift has no impact on it. So if you don’t like the drift at rest, I’ve suggested using in game deadzone settings instead of the nexus deadzone. Don’t forget some games might have a minimum deadzone engaged which can’t be turned off, so keeping nexus deadzone at 10% and in game applying let’s say a 5%, you’ll end up with a 15% deadzone. The suggestions are meant for the people finding the controller sluggish or very different to use. If you are happy with the standard performance from the controller, then definitely don’t need to do anything. I know myself find it very strange playing on HE sticks currently as they’re a bit different to normal sticks.

[@thephototechy]

Hey if the manual method is not working correctly, then try the gamesir nexus app. In the app there is a test section which has beaker shape icon, once you enter the test screen you can enable manual calibration from there. There’ll be onscreen prompts showing calibration process. I did have issue of my stick not reaching the full corner after doing it through the software, and personally I prefer the manual method, it if your led is blinking and pressing A doesn’t allow it into calibration mode then try the app.

[@rwboutdoors8867]

Not sure if you’ve answered this but I use precision rings on my right thumb stick and on this controller the sticks seem to be shorter and it’s a bit tight using the precision ring. Do you remove the anti-friction ring to make a bit more space for your precision ring?

[@thephototechy]

Hey I was doing that before the 6.25 update, it’s something I showed in my aiming update video. After the 6.25 update the active area is a bit smaller so I don’t feel the need to remove the anti friction ring. If you do want to remove it then try doing the calibration without the precision ring as well. There are so many possibilities with this controller with the manual calibration options.

[@thephototechy]

Hey so I was told by someone that Xbox max supports 250hz only. I believe when Gamesir release the 1000hz option it'll only be in the PC nexus software. But I could be wrong and it might actually appear on Xbox as well. I know dualsense edge is 1000hz as standard according to my Xinput tests, which makes me believe PS5 is supporting higher than 250hz. it's a fair assumtion to think Microsoft might be working to match that and the delay for 1000hz is not Gamesir but Microsoft taking their time.

How does the tension on the sticks on these compare to xbox series? I really like how light the tension is on the xbox so that is my preference.

Hey I find the Ksilver modules to have lighter tension than the normal alps in Xbox controllers. It did take me a bit to adjust to, specially when you are using Kontrolfreeks, I guess the extra weight of them makes a bit of a difference. Definitely one of the lightest tension sticks I’ve used.

[@UltimateRessie13]

what is the benefit of raw mode? I get 0.5% circularity on non raw and 10ish% on raw?

[@thephototechy]

Hey the raw mode mimics the normal stick’s behaviour, so if there is no restriction on the sticks, they’ll make a square which is around 21% error rate. On the normal sticks most times the physical thumbstick gate is the outer deadzone and it makes the shape similar to the raw mode. If you are ok with the circular outer deadzone and don’t feel the aim a bit sluggish, then definitely use that. Raw is an amazing option for people finding it difficult on the circular outer deadzone, and they can have that familiar aim feeling.

[@Cancholat966]

Iv been having a problem where im turning faster right then left idk how to fix it and i dont have a computer.

[@thephototechy]

Hey you can test the controller on Xbox using the edge browser and going to hardware tester website. Make sure the controller is reaching maximum values of 1.00000 in both direction with equal amount of physical stick travel. If the number are off or not consistent, then definitely do the manual calibration like I’ve shown in the video. You can also use gamesir nexus software to check stick response and maximum input register in the thumbstick tab. What you are describing sounds like the sticks are calibrated incorrectly, hopefully the manual calibration should fix this. If for some reason the manual calibration doesn’t fix the issue and you can clearly see maximum values in one direction and not the other, then you’ll need to reach out to gamesir.

Hey bro I just got the controller finally but for some reason on cod it feels really slow and sluggish and doesn’t really respond well even when I’m on 0 deadzone in game and app. Do u have any idea what it could be?

[@thephototechy]

Hey have you tried the raw mode yet? I couldn’t get used to the normal circular outer deadzone mode, it felt too slow. Check that you are on version 6.25 and update if necessary. Check the result in game pad tester and you should be reaching the max values a bit before the physical thumbstick gate.

[@ridwanaja7950]

can T4 cyclone pro be calibrated in the same way?

[@thephototechy]

Hey I think it should be the same process, but I can’t confirm as no one else has shown this yet. I’d say try and get the manual for the T4 cyclone, that should have the info.

[@KadovDroft]

Do the sticks feel accurate? Also does raw mode feel good on cod?

[@Hayberry]

If you calibrate the controller correctly the raw mode is a game changer and feels very responsive and nice, but make sure to calibrate it right because it feels weird if you don’t.

[@Happygiraffe_1]

Is it possible to map the back button to something in cod? I looked and i saw nothing

[@Saealo]

I have tried to calibrate on PC many times, but every time I unplug the controller, it forces me to do it again, and it hasn’t appeared on Nexus for a while. When I try to check after I calibrate, all the axis read -1 on gamepad tester, but axis 9, which reads 1.28571. Is there anything you can recommend

[@thephototechy]

Hey I’m sure you must have tried all the steps correctly, in that case you can try and uninstall the controller from the device manager. When the controller is connected the device manager should shown Xbox 360 controller in the list, uninstalling it from there and reconnecting will force the system to install new driver and recognise the controller again. Also if you have done a manual overclock that could be an issue as well. For me it happened where no button presses in apps were detected, so I had to uninstall through device manager and reconnecting it worked. If everything fail then definitely reach out to gamesir, m hoping it won’t come to that.

Does the manual calibration work on the Xbox series? X

[@thephototechy]

Hey yes it does. There is also a way to do it through nexus software as well, but I’ve had issues with it where my triggers stopped working. The method I’ve shown here fixed the issues for me.

[@axthxny]

hey question i just got my controller in 10 mins ago and buttons are activating randomly without me doing anything any help?

Hey have you checked the nexus software if there is an update available? That behaviour is very strange. If no update available then a manual calibration might fix it.

@@CSAClipz hey I know what you mean it’s annoying as it aimed and go for me, when I clean the stick shaft and change the ring it goes away, but then appears other times.

[@1233-c1q]

I bought this controller and i have two problems, one the Right Trigger is way to sensitive in cod and the other problem is that i hear my voice when i talk in my microphone, any suggestions?

[@thephototechy]

Hey check the triggers in nexus app, they should have a linear response when hair trigger isn’t enabled. If you notice the response jumping a lot and not linear then do a manual calibration. One thing I’ll say is my triggers got lose after some use, but the settings I’ve shown in this video still work for me. The audio issue sounds a bit strange, coz if mic monitoring is disabled you shouldn’t hear your own mic. Have you tried the headset on a different controller? It could be crosstalk in the headset cable maybe, try different volume levels and see if the issue disappears at some and appears at other levels. If the headset works fine on other controllers then it could be the controller that’s at fault.

Hey I don’t think it makes much of a difference, I mentioned it to be on the safe side if it affects the calibration. I’ve done it many times with them on, but I did have an issue once or twice where the stick was not reaching the max input in one corner.

If I want to use raw mode coming from normal mode. Do I need to recalibrate my sticks again?

[@thephototechy]

Hey no, the recalibration is an amazing tool to adjust the centre point of the sticks, or if you swap out the plastic caps for an Xbox one. If the sticks can reach 100% values in a linear response and there are no gaps or sudden jumps then you don’t need to recalibrate.

[@romioesr]

Why you have stick drift ?? I thought hall effect doesn't have any. Drift

[@thephototechy]

Hey the spring lose tension with use and that’s true for every controller. The ones that show no drift and perfect centre has built in deadzones. This kind of drift doesn’t affect game performance at all, as this won’t affect your inputs. Gamesir nexus has the option to apply minimum deadzones if you wish, but for me the best performance is without them. Also the 3-5% register I have at rest is after at least 50 hours of gaming and I do believe it’ll stay at this number, hope this helps.

[@Alex859G]

Question. I’ve been using the gamesir controller after changing settings and didn’t know about the calibration need and my joysticks worked but felt off for some reason. I originally assumed Hall effect joysticks just “felt” different. Could it be the lack of calibration!?

[@Lewbom]

Why dont you calibrate it and see?

Hi! Do you test the calibration on your XBox or PC? And what’s the URL for the Gamepad tester you use? Thanks!

On mw3

[@thephototechy]

Hey so MW3 seems to need a lot of movement of the right stick, I’ve been using different controllers and haven’t tried the G7se yet. I’d say disable the minimum deadzones in nexus app and use in game deadzones if needed.

Hey its a wired only controller and that is very worrying that its not turning on. Have you tried a different controller in the same port? also try the Gamesir cable with a different controller just to rue out the cable not being the culprit. If all fails then bro you'll need a replacement from Gamesir.

Hey, what is currently your favourite hall effect controller from all you have tested?

[@thephototechy]

Hey for me personally the snakebyte gamepad pro is the best. That’s because the ergonomics and trigger stops, but no Dpad bind for back buttons and no option to disable them will be an issue for some. The triggers though hands down feel so good to me. I’m currently playing the MW3 beta on PS5 but when that drops on Xbox, I’ll be using the snakebyte gamepd pro and gamesir G7se on Xbox, as MW3 has a bit more options for response curve adjustments.

[@IPeTeXI]

​@@thephototechy thank you for that fast response. i saw your video on the snakebyte and the other ones and it is so hard to decide between all these. for the currently released controllers i have a feeling that the snakebyte would suit the best to me. but the new ps5 nacon controller seems also really promising.

[@thephototechy]

Oh yes that one is looking very good indeed, but I think that one is also using Ksilver modules and not the newly announced Favorunion ones. Still its the first hall efect controller with 4 back buttons and trigger stops. I'mtrying my best to review it, hopefully I can save up in time to get it.@@IPeTeXI

[@IPeTeXI]

Just a heads-up for those interested: I purchased the Snakebyte Gamepad Pro X around five months ago. Unfortunately, despite minimal usage, the charging port has become quite loose, resulting in frequent disconnections. Today, I decided to order the GameSir G7 SE in hopes of better durability, although I made the decision before your video on non-linear aim response came online. Nonetheless, I'm hopeful it will serve me well. Fingers crossed!
