The BEST Budget Xbox Pro Controller Under $50! GameSir G7 Honest Review

[@machado5765]

I have a GameSir T4W for over 2 years and 2k hours of heavy use without showing a single problem. Zero stick Drift. So yes GameSir controllers, regarding its durability, are amazing. I had an original Microsoft Xbox One controller and the bumpers went off in less than a year. #G7

[@dysennn]

do the loose ABXY buttons not bother you? that’s the main thing that’s giving me second thoughts. that and the lack of trigger stops

[@25MB]

I also have T4W, but for 4 years. The only problems I got is the A button feels like it sticks, maybe disassembling and cleaning would help, dunno. 2nd issue is I get a stick drift, but it goes away after I blow some air into it. And then it reappears the next day, so I gotta do it at the start of each play session :D.

[@black3ghost75]

Does the TW4 work for Xbox or just pc?

[@machado5765]

​@@black3ghost75can't say. Don't have a Xbox to test.

[@machado5765]

​@@25MByes open it up and clean it please. 4 years no clean 🤢?

[@Pr0fila]

Man I wish ps5 had as many controller options as xbox

[@stocktonfiero5379]

i dont care about clicky buttons and fancy optimized enhanced poll rate 500000 hz with rgb swappable plate. all i care about is no stick drift. and im sure 80% of controller players want the same thing

[@KiNGPiN42DBM]

Yeah bruh you are right about the no stick drift... But that's all you're right about... I won't hold it against you that you'd rather buy 10 pairs of Payless Shoes a year than just buying the pair of Air Forces you'd rather have... You end up spending more on shitty Payless Shoes than you do on the Expensive Nikes each year... That's a metaphor that represents your less than educated or experienced OPINION (Which isn't actually the facts at all...) relating to controllers... See the reason why I can't fault you 100% on that trashcan opinion you have... Is because I know 100% guaranteed, that if you ever had a good version of any of those things you "Don't Care About," you'd be singing a different tune. I promise you. Because back when it was 2016 I used to say the same thing. Then I remembered my nuts dropped and I'd been a man quite some time so far and I needed to get a controller like a man should obviously own... So I spent the money... And God damn bruh... It wasn't easy. My first actual pro controller was an Elite Series 2 and my second pro controller was Razer Wolverine Ultimate... I owned them both at the same time... I've always said since then... If they made an elite series 2 like exactly like it aside from the membrane bullshit buttons and add Razers Clicky switches to all the buttons you can press aside from the triggers... That is a controller combo that if it had Hall effect sticks, wouldn't ever be beaten... So far I've had ever single pro controller worth its salt, on the market. There are a ton of fire controllers out there without hall sensors. That's now a deal breaker to me... But I've had all that "Fancy" stuff you think you don't care about... You definitely care about it, you just honestly don't know it yet and will argue with anyone about it til You're still playing with a PowerA Spectra wondering why you're still waiting those HALL sticks in the new version so you only have to pay 20 bucks more and and you'll have a PowerA Spectra with hall sticks and I guarantee PowerA will fucking botch the job yet again... So you'll be Spending $70 for the same trash as always with hall sticks... Still buying hall sticks from garbage companies will most likely end up in the garbage... LMFAO. $70 dollars for a controller with Hall Sticks that's going to be worth it and give you some nice addons... There's mostly trash that's $40 that you will literally regret haha it there are $70 'trollers with hall sticks that don't match the controller I am sending you to buy yourself. And then there's all the big $ pro controllers that have hall sticks and I won't ever pay $200-$300 again for a controller unless it's the Elite 2 with Razer switches, and hall sticks. My budget is always going to be the exact amount this one controller at $70, far out does the rest. If you have a PC or switch or anything besides Xbox, you can use it out the box... But on Xbox you have to buy a dongle that converts this controllers dongle so Xbox can be played on as well... The extra special dongle is like $24 btw... So ow you're at $94 so what that means is just build a PC... If you're on PC... Then you're not as SPED as I said earlier. But do yourself a favor and buy an 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller. I got mine 2 days after it dropped for purchase... I've used it every single day all day long ever since... It has a nice charging dock that it fits on flawlessly... It's USB c... And it comes with a 2.4gHz dongle that you plug into the bottom of your charging dock and then it's always protected, from your chubby lady friends who like to bump into anything with a USB hanging out of it LMFAO. Get the black one tho... The white one with look nasty on the backs of the hand grips... Even if you wash your hands a lot cuz OCD or sumn... I promise you man. Pound for pound it's by far... Light years ahead of the other hall sticks controllers at the same price. It's the best constantly accurate performing NO stick drift controller I've ever had and honestly, I think it's prolly the best hall sticks controller out right now. The materials could feel better and be of better quality, but then it wouldn't be affordable anymore and that's kinda the the point... So stop assuming you don't want shit you don't even have a fucking clue about... Cuz it sounds estupido... I could be wrong but I feel like you are smart enuff to get it.

I've been using the G7 for a very long time, and probably because I take really great care of my controllers, I have not experienced anything wrong with it. No drift, no hall effect issues, button issues, etc. It's been working amazingly well! Learning about the G7 SE, is something alright, but I'll probably stick to the one I have. #G7

[@marcoflorianefinger6937]

I really appreciate the detail of this review, especially the part where you talked about the negative reviews.

[@arcticknighti]

I have a T4 and it is a solid controller. The RGB and the hall effect sticks are just fannytastic. However the G7 is, I think, a perfect alternative to a standard Xbox controller. It's cheaper, extra buttons, clicky ABXY. No brainer. #G7

[@n64slayer]

Once again up at 4:30 am and vcuda never fails to drop a banger

[@GlockTonyy]

If you feel any rubbing on the g7 SE Its rubbing because the left side anti friction ring (the blue ring around the sticks) isn’t machined quite perfectly so it isn’t perfectly smooth so it feels “bumpy” the right side feels very smooth tho, found this out after some critical thinking and grabbing the black faceplate off the g7 and putting it on the g7 se. No more rubbing, the black friction rings that come on the g7 are manufactured better cuz they are perfectly smooth on both sticks

[@allsin03]

yo i respect you and all your videos. your reviews are raw and straight up vital info to the consumers. this controller is now my only used pc controller.

[@Brrgy]

I’ve had the Xbox elite, power a, victus gambit, turtle beach, and a couple others. GameSir G7 is the best I’ve had so far. Very quick response time. Best software. I’ve had 0 problems so far and it’s been 6-7 months. I put in tall sticks from scuff, and they fit perfect. All this and I got a free month of game pass for ordering it too haha.

[@phlooke]

You mean you just ordered the newest Scuff Xbox controller 4 pack of different height/concave/convex thumb sticks and just put them on the G7? I'd love to try this, but want to make sure I don't order the wrong thumb sticks.

[@notjord317]

Short tip for people who want to use Xbox control freeks, open up an old/ broken Xbox controller and take out its stick, remove the faceplate on the g7 and remove the stick you want to add a control freek on. Put in the original Xbox stick and it will fit perfectly. Add back the magnetic faceplate and boom now you can use Xbox control freeks #G7

[@voltzergeist]

I just went into the Xbox Series X accessories>controller settings for any controller...then set double pressing the share button to open the Gamesir app. Which is about as close to quick swapping profiles as I could find. (Works quite well and only takes a second or 2 max to switch to another profile and back to your game)

[@sa1t447]

My elite series 1’s stick drift is starting to get unbearable along with the now mushy paddles. I’m hoping the #G7 will last a little longer.

[@eclipse-tt1un]

I got myself a PowerA controller after watching one of your vids, It still works perfectly for more than a year and a half now. My original Xbox controller got the worst stick drift within the first month. Gamesir really showing up man and it's not like they're giving back, we've just been rawdogged by microsoft and sony this whole time so when Gamesir steps up, it's like our lord and savior hath arrived. #G7 Keep up the good work Heath.

[@rascal5241]

As a PC gamer, the #G7 and G7 SE look great, but with the T4K costing relatively the same, I feel like the T4K is the best choice in the PC only realm, but that’s just mo. Will be getting one of them for sure

[@Cmon3play]

T4k had better value than these two

[@B1INK]

Nice looking controller. Just wish it had paddles. Great review, liked how you went into detail about the reviews and the main reason for the negative ones. I still have my 1st gen Xbox elite controller. But keeping my eyes out for a decent replacement when it goes to the farm.

[@sliptlol]

It has 2 paddles. That you can lock

[@miltbottleboy]

I'm looking for something like àn elite controller paddle, as opposed to buttons

[@xaytana]

GameSir has been around for a decade, they celebrated their tenth back in April I believe, and while I don't know their entire product history I do know they've had some interesting products over the years. One notable one is the G5, which is a mobile controller (possibly Android-only) that basically combines the touchpad feature of the Steam Controller (which it does not predate) and the ABXY drag feature of the Flydigi Apex 2 (which was limited to only BXY drag and is predated by the G5) into a touchpad touch and drag that I'm not sure Steam Input and controller configurator allows on the Steam Controller itself. The G7 seems to be their first non-mobile controller, one through six are some variety of mobile controller either from a phone clip to being a phone clamp (Joycon but on a clamp) or the typical smaller and more portable controller to the curveball that was the G5 with it's specific feature set; among their other main products being thumb gloves or physical buttons for touchscreens, with the only other product I know of being a macropad and mouse set for consoles. I'm hoping their future controllers keep on pushing for a low-cost 'pro' controller, and I hope they eventually revisit the G5's concept now that touchpads are becoming more common within the peripheral space on handhelds, plus that IFYOO/DarkWalker half trackpad peripheral, or do something similar to it by putting a slider under buttons like the Apex 2 had done; even if an expanded feature set isn't directly usable on consoles, I do appreciate extra features on PC, plus arguably the idea of a slider under the ABXY cluster does what back buttons provide, giving stick control simultaneously with button control.

[@SSID94]

Only one flaw with this controller from my experience, the handles are very small so for anyone with mid to large hands you won't be able to hold it comfortably. Also it would've been sweet if the back buttons were clicky too I wouldn't mind paying slightly more

[@xxprocxx]

5:08 I appreciate so much the d-pad description, all reviewers just say they like it (even shitty ones that I tested myself) and dont even describe if its mushy or clicky. Its my top priority for tetris and I'm yet to find a Switch controller with a clicky dpad. For now I have to settle for 8bitdo adapter

[@jollyshrimpo]

Have you used the 8bitdou switch style controller? I use it for any 2d games and the dpad is definitely clickier than my nes controllers.

[@bkblindside3884]

Oh man if this had 4 back buttons it would be game over for other controllers.. The polling rate alone is such a huge boon for such a cheap controller and the other features are at least interesting enough to want to tinker with. That sticky trigger issue can be solved no problem if you got a little DIY blood in you. Ghost input issues and problems with the face buttons like ABXY could possibly be overtightening of the chassis or maybe faceplate? Maybe the button cuts are a little wonky and need sanding or something? Either way I think all of these issues can likely be solved on the user end except the connectivity stuff which is likely just cheap solder joints at the USB (would require a little more experience to fix but still doable) Get me in that #G7 drawing sir

[@theboi8973]

[@andrewmoon3409]

the force trigger rumble is just the stock force feedback system on the regular xbox controllers that xbox uses for games like forza and it just lets it work on other games. The ps5 version actually makes it harder to press. That force feed back toggle on this makes it an essential buy for sim racers on PC who don't like using a wheel. The clicky dpad models are a must buy for competitive fighting games. Crazy that you can buy both the 7 and 7se and have controllers to properly handle basically any game for less then an elite 2. I do prefer my elite 2 for single player games though, just feels so much more nice over a long time.

[@NiceGuy187x]

videos are always great. i have been searching for a pro like controller that was not bank breaking and had all these features. i had the elite s2 it was a great controller but it met its fate with stick drift and I was not paying for that again. i just got recently the razor wolverine v2 chroma on sale for way lower than what they are originally. It has been pretty solid but i dislike the fact they mask stick drift by auto having a deadzone built in already. i was leaning towards thrustmaster for the fact it is modular but i feel they are starting to get bad reviews. working in a manufacturing industry i can see why quality is getting worse as the "lean" initiative (which is never actually applied correctly) is sourcing parts that are cheaper. seems like gamesir is the way to go to not break the bank and have a competitive/reliable controller. #G7
