GameSir Kaleid - Xbox Controller Review

[@blackopstrev]

Better then the g7 se in my op. So good! Got mine today, and comes with gamepass

[@SebastianDylag]

It's indeed very good 😄 and game pass included with the purchase 👌

[@Xual]

What’s the difference

[@craigrichards8486]

Is there much difference

[@johnkennedy3782]

Does mic work at 1000 hz

[@johnwang7033]

I'm very happy with this controller, it's great in every way, it would be nice if it had a wireless version. It still has drawbacks, though. For me, the K1's view button is harder to press than the original Xbox controller because when you press the view button, you get stuck on the left analog stick. The original Xbox controller doesn't have this problem. Although you can handle it by customizing the L4 and R4 keys. But I don't think that's the complete approach.

[@Idkkotzy]

Do you need a PC to configure the controller? Or can a laptop work? It would be very helpful if you could answer this question.

[@johnwang7033]

Buttons and lighting effects can be set directly on the controller. But if you want to set it further, you must use their app.

[@r.s.4553]

Why did they didn't do trigger stop, it would be one of the best controllers.

[@rickaustin3077]

I was used to them on my elite 2 and went to gamesir g8 SE after a few days using it you really don't need trigger stops

[@itsprod.472]

They got digital ones aka you can do it on the software and they work just as fast

[@rickaustin3077]

@@itsprod.472 would still be better with actual trigger stops as with air triggers yes they activate instantly but you still tent to press them down fully which takes a few milliseconds longer 🤣🤣🤣

[@Oshawa87]

Idk can you do them with hall triggers tho maybe its space issue or something i dont think i know of one controller with hall triggers that has trigger stops, but you can basically set them to hair triggers atleast

[@Grandmaster-Kush]

So it's 1:1 T4K but with hybrid membrane buttons and 20 euro more expensive, I guess for Xbox owners it's a very good choice as you can clock it at 500 and 1000hz via PC, the D-PAD is a bit different compared to T4K too in a positive way it seems, the moment if is as cheap as the T4K I predict this will be the #1 bang for buck unless we see a higher end model with trigger stops or 4 back buttons.

[@rickaustin3077]

T4 is actually better it has a gyro to which this doesn't as far as I know

[@rickaustin3077]

By the way I just created a new temu account and got new user coupon so got it for £29.99

[@Grandmaster-Kush]

@@rickaustin3077 Yeah I use the T4K on Zelda: BOTW emulated on PC and the gyro works perfectly to aim and move stuff with

Unfortunately the 1000hz for this controller isn’t supported on xbox, but the 500hz still works as intended

[@johnkennedy3782]

@@trviiswhat do you mean it’s not intended ? I thought only the mic doesn’t work .. if I can’t get 1000 I’ll just buy the se

[@theemmanuelshow2858]

The buttons on this controller are orgasmic, I wish they did it for the triggers too than it would be the best controller ever

[@joseabundes9030]

How fragile is it? The g7 se malfunction after 1 drop, didn't work anymore 😢

[@matiassoares5953]

Bruh.

[@rickaustin3077]

I've dropped my g7 SE loads of times really hard drops on to hard floor and it doesn't even. Have a mark on it and works flawless had it like 6 months using it for hours a day playing warzone

[@joseabundes9030]

Well, I would like to see a review. Of how much abuse the controller can take.

[@04Y]

I dropped mine like 10 times and nothing happened

[@shrey1517]

man really did like that nice very nice braided cable

[@SebastianDylag]

Indeed 😉

[@michaelcrimp8193]

I bought this for Xbox. Arrived yesterday and at the moment I can’t get the sticks to feel right at all. I play Battlefield 1 and as soon as I started I had stick drift so fiddled with deadzones. Might need some tips on stick setup. I found the opposite to you that the aim felt weird and not accurate at all. What settings did you use????. For last night I had to go back to using my Victrix Gambit.

[@biggusdongus]

I'm pretty sure you just need to calibrate the sticks, search on youtube how to calibrate the gamesir kalei xbox controller or the g7 cuz i think they have the same way of calibrating.

[@michaelcrimp8193]

@@biggusdongus I have sorted it now. Epic controller

[@xav10]

​@@michaelcrimp8193how did u do it?

[@michaelcrimp8193]

@@xav10 do mean get the controller working for myself??? If so I set the sticks to the circle shape. And I set the deazones to 2 so that when I flick them in the app to test they always flick back to zero. Also I set both triggers to 1-1 rather than 1-100. Some of this might depend on what game you’re playing. For me I play Battlefield 1.

[@jenielpabiano6058]

nice review sir

[@SebastianDylag]

Thank You!

[@VSnitro]

Do you know how to manually calibrate this Xbox Kaleid controller?

[@bilalalali2472]

Peace be upon you, my dear brother. Regarding this remote control, does it connect via Bluetooth or only via a wire?

[@SebastianDylag]

Unfortunately only via the wire 🥲

[@laethather_818]

Did it support android ? ​@@SebastianDylag

[@ddfcoold]

can you change the sticks like on g7 SE and HE?

[@Hawk-zb8zf]

for the thumbsticks are they xbox thumbticks or playstation thumbsticks meaning for control freaks can you fit xbox control freaks or will you need to buy PlayStation?

It doesn't matter with these. You can just swap out the thumbcaps. And recalibrate. Use what ever you want.

[@mahmoudmuhammad9826]

It’s amazing

[@PassBluntBoss]

Can you turn lights off for night sessions thinking of getting for my bro in law he has really bad sticks on his other controller dont know if i should get g7se with removable faceplate he would love to customize it 😂 on the other hand the new kaleid has everything you need pretty much 🤷‍♂️ idk which i would get for him they are both so good in their own ways

[@skial9602]

It is true that the controller has almost no delay?

[@SebastianDylag]

From what I can tell it seems that way (on Xbox it works great, on PC - would have to test it out a bit more) 🤔

[@craigrichards8486]

How does this compare to the g7 se as this is cheaper in the uk than that

[@SebastianDylag]

Not sure as I didn't use the G7 se unfortunately

[@craigrichards8486]

@@SebastianDylag their pricing makes it confusing very little differences think I'll get the kaleid today. My Xbox controller went weird when I plugged it into my tv started charging channels over rapidly and then I plugged into Xbox and it randomly had really bad stick drift to the point I can't even use the menu , was fine the night before

[@tiaojunior111]

No meu kaleid os dois botões RT LT não funciona na calibragem somente os analógico acho que pode ser algum bug

Can't test it out at the moment, as I'm away from home. Once I'm back I will check that out 😄

[@tnmdepzaikhoaito]

It's actually worse than G7 SE since no 1000hz polling rate mode supported yet ... I mean the whole gimmick with gamesir's wired controller line is that super low input delay, this one clocks in at 170hz, which is worse than G7 SE on its STOCK CLOCK omg. I took measurements on my i9 PC.

[@Eskoxo]

as far as wireless they could easily make it for pc as thats not locked down

[@ozzyyoyo9385]

Why does it keep disconnecting when playing siege it’s pissing me off

[@StuckTrippin]

Mine doesn't turn on when i turn on the xbox. I have to unplug it and plug it back in.

[@bapevape613]

Bro I’m having the same problem

[@LBUK.]

Default polling rate?

[@SebastianDylag]

Can't tell, as I'm away from home at the moment, will check when I'm back 😄

[@kylegibson5933]

Pretty sure the default polling rate is 250hz, has an overclock option in the client itself and can change the controller to 500Hz and 1000hz, have to do it on PC, can change it to whatever Hz you want and it'll save onto the controller itself and can transfer over to Xbox, won't be able to use wired headphones when in 1000hz mode.

[@RevivedGamerHD]

@@kylegibson5933 from what ive seen thats only the case for the g7 and se, and for this controller it isnt over clockable rn but idk i could be wrong

Does anybody elses not turn on when they turn on the xbox?

[@lowkeyju3902]

Fr?

[@StuckTrippin]

@@lowkeyju3902 yeah I've had quite a bit of complaints with this controller. If you want them, il post below. Controller doesn't remember party audio settings. You'll have to readjust your mic monitoring, party/game balance, and volume every time. After you shut off your console, you have about 10 seconds to unplug it before it will just turn your console back on. 50/50 chance this happens. Ran into an issue I've just fixed today, where the controller would shut down mid game if I had headohones plugged in, and the triggers were being pressed. Try playing a shooter with your guys when the controller nukes itself every 15 seconds. I had to download a zip file from the official website on a computer, and give the controller a firmware update to stop that. Customer support speaks little english so good luck if you have any problems.

[@anonymnobodycares2877]

the customer service is terrible if you get a problem you forgot to mention that
