World's FASTEST Xbox Controller is the FIRST With Anti-Stick Drift Thumbsticks! GameSir G7 SE Review

GameSir G7 SE (Amazon UK): amzn.eu/d/3y0AHu2
This is a big one! This controller is a world first for Xbox in more than one way, being the first to 1000hz (1ms Response Time) and the first with Anti-Stick Drift thumbsticks. At only $40-45 (sometimes even cheaper) it really does make you step back and consider the controllers these companies have been capable of! Now that GameSir has pulled the trigger for Xbox, I think many others will follow in time. With luck, they'll drop a PlayStation controller at some point too! Thank you guys so much for checking out this video, I worked very hard on it and heavily thank GameSir for sending the G7 SE over pre-release. I hope you guys enjoyed this one, and I'll see you all in the one!

UPDATE: The V6.28 update for the software featuring the 1000hz polling rate has arrived for Xbox & PC! You can choose between 250, 500, and 1000hz but both 500 & 1000hz disable the headphone jack for some reason. My guess is that it's some sort of power issue, but I could be wrong. Anyways, enjoy the update! It was mega late and I'm super upset about that regardless. Stop releasing unfinished products :)

I had to come back to your video after playing with the gamesir g7 se to thank you for the tip about setting the triggers yourself. Because when I originally went through I use the hair triggers thinking that was going to be virtual trigger stops basically. Like you said, the way that they actually work are borderline psychotic. After I set them up the way that you showed, everything feels great now. Back when I was using the "hair triggers" everything was shit I actually thought I was getting worse at the game.

[@maritimesteak8540]

the regular tension on the series 2 sticks seems to wear out pretty fast but using the tension adjustment prolongs my use of the controller to over 2 years on average before they go bad on me i like my series 2

The series 2, was the best controller ever bought, I've had a lot of pro controllers scuf prestige by far the worst. I'd never buy another scuf. Over priced trash, they feel like a cheap £25 controller. My elite series 2 got stick drift after 6 month.😢😢

[@FaunoLab]

Thanks for doing the resistance test. The reason Xbox controllers are my favorites over third party ones is that the analog resistance is fairly low. My Series X one started to drift so I'm trying the G7 SE now. The membrane buttons are actually a positive for me, since I disliked Razer's buttons on a Wolverine and returned it.

[@ggjohn8260]

I actually prefer the the membrane ABXY and dpad over the clicky switches. The clicky ones feel great but just require too much force for me to press when I'm playing games that need them a lot. I would love to see you add how much force it takes to actuate the face buttons in the future with that new force gauge you got.

[@Volker_A4]

Don't know if this is a per unit issue, but I've noticed my T4 has way more play/wobble in the face buttons than the original G7. Wondering if you noticed that with any of their controllers? To be specific: If I press the edge of a face button on the G7 it goes straight down. But on the T4, the button tilts. It's particularly noticeable if you hit the right side of B. It's pretty annoying, but it could just be a defect idk.

[@vCuda]

Yo, good eye. The shell doesn't fit the buttons properly, I can't believe I didn't notice that. I knew the buttons felt different, but the internal design is so similar I thought it may just be me. It's REALLY noticeable when you look at it from the front of the controller. Idk how long it'll end up delaying the video, but I'm gonna add this into my T4K review before it goes up today lol.

You mentioned the possibility of them going with membrane to keep the price the same. They probably cheaped out on the face buttons and d-pad to offset the cost of Xbox licensing. They didn't have to pay for Microsoft licensing for the T4 Kaelid.

[@jellyfish1433]

Looks like I may finally be switching away from my $24 PowerA controller haha it fell off my desk without me realizing it and developed a tiny bit of stick drift from the stick being pushed in one direction over the span of a couple days. Been wanting a controller like that for ages now so it’ll be nice not having to worry about stick drift anymore

[@ShikayHawken]

I wonder how it's gonna be for long term use. My friends has an older model gamesir and both controller died in similar manner. Outside of stick drift, the thumbstick rubber is vaporized, some buttons got douvle clicking, and some other problems which made me scared to get Gamesir controller last week and decided to go with Horipad FPS for Switch. So, I do hope you made a long term review for this and T4 Kaleid cause it could be my next go to whenever my current one died in the future.

[@vCuda]

When i last looked into it, the normal G7s reliability seemed pretty average. It doesn't receive any more negative feedback than any other pro controller at its price. The T4 and G7 SE need a bit more time for us to see how things play out. The main issues the G7 had were trigger issues, and USB/Motherboard failure

Love the controller, got drift when I turned deadzone completely off but this controller is the best by far for any budget controller. Feels amazing and aiming feels great on every fps game I have. Don't need any other controller

[@Chris_FMS_Redfield]

That's not stick drift, that's the stick not physically returning to 0,0. Stick drift is when the potentiometer malfunctions because a spec of dust got into it. Often it causes to stick to drift and max out on whatever coordinate the potentiometer controls.

[@bw536]

@weegeeboy18 no, it's drift. I made sure stick was back to where it should be and still drifted to the left. In the app I moved right arrow to raw, left arrow to zero so there was no deadzone and as soon as I put deadzone to zero in the video game, it automatically started drifting

[@beavykins897]

@@bw536 yes but that isn’t stick drift… the issue here is that because there is no deadzone and the sensor is so accurate it is very unlikely the spring on the stick will allow for it to go back to exactly the centre spot so it will keep moving. I grant you it’s the same outcome but actual drift is caused by the potentiometer becoming worn which results in the wrong voltage. Both technologies would still only be as good as the centring mechanism but potentiometers by nature are much more prone to failure due to wear. And most Hall effect controllers allow you to recalibrate the centre spot if needs be.

[@Chris_FMS_Redfield]

@@bw536 Did the controller detect movement despite the stick not moving or did it just set off center? Every stick is slightly loose and doesn't center perfectly. That's what deadzone settings are for.

[@T4SelNiNO]

@@Vizr. I thought the same to be fair. You can drill a 2-3mm hole on the side of the trigger and fix in a small screw to stop the trigger bottoming out.

[@Vizr.]

@@T4SelNiNO works. But that start messing up the plastic. I like to melt the same type of plastic around a screw place at the button of the triggers pressure point and then create a flat suface of hot glue (maybe 1mm thick) and a peace of scotch tape on top. As some sort of dampernur. Sound like too much. But it usually takes me no more than 10min to do on stock controllers. With the ability of switching trigger sensitivity I won't have to mess with the trigger Hall sensor either. But let's see. If I can use the G7 SE more than 3 days before it pisses me off. I'm so used to stock xb1 1708 that I couldn't use the new ones. Let alone all other third party that seem to fall apart on there own.

I'm excited to use this controller. I'm not a type of person that's into all the other things...lol I just want to play. Maybe that's why I truly suck at COD. Oh well. Maybe I'll learn more about all those features heavy gamers need. Tbh, I really don't care that it's corded. It's fine with me.

Yeah the the buttons feel cheaper but I'm definitely not going to complain about that for the amazing price of this controller.

Very nice review! I just ordered one, my latest model xbox one's left stick is practically broken from pressing it in about a million times and has massive up and down stick drift, it's been almost 2 years though. That's what playing Apex Legends for hundreds of hours will do I guess lol. Sucks because the rest of the controller is still 100% fine... I'll keep it as a backup controller or use it for my raspberry pi. This G7 SE looks clean, has the best hope for no stick drift sounds like, and I'm quite used to the squishy buttons and plastic grip, so no biggie there. Can't beat the price, and sounds like it's better than the default xbox controller, so I'm excited to use it and play Apex without having the curser slide up and down like ice-skating while I'm trying to loot, armor-swap, or remain still lol.

[@luckymoe1713]

how is the controller on apex ? any update?

[@gi_nattak]

@@luckymoe1713 it’s still working fine, put in over 200 hours or so of Apex abusing the hell out of it. The sticks are maybe slightly looser than when it was brand new, but there’s no stick drift at all still as advertised. All buttons working and the back button locks too. And while the promised upgrade to increase input speed even more hasn’t happened yet, they (gamesir devs) did do one upgrade which is nice. My only gripe after using it thus far after some months is the d-pad…it kinda sucks ngl, I really miss the latest Xbox controller d-pad - I keep selecting the wrong item to use when playing apex…gotta be very precise with it. Also I wish the start and select buttons were moved down just a tad. Minor nitpicks overall, it’s a great controller for sure. I just really miss the faceted round d-pad of the Xbox one controller.

Do not know how I'm just finding this channel. What is life? Easy sub, easy dub.

[@HahaHaha-gq8ft]

I've owned 2 gamesir g7se . Let me tell you that I've also thrown a lot of controllers . Out of all controllers, I've thrown this one, it has survived hard wood floors . Im can say im impressed . Now, the performance isnt bad for the price either.

[@perm1730]

How TF do you not have 100k subs yet

6 months into my elite 2 I got my right bumper screwed over, playing 45-1hour on average a day… gonna get this

[@Psmgamer]

Ordered one since my nephew got stick drift on his Series S Blue Shock controller that I got him last year for Christmas.

[@itz_x_salvation395]

Hell yes give me a playstation controller. I just bought one of these going to give it a try, thanks man.

[@SomeRandomGuyPlaying]

I would love this if they had the Xbox slot for a chat pad. Chat pads are so good in games that let you use keyboard shortcuts

[@InnocentWvxy]

This is insanely CRAZY BRO WHAT

[@oumac]

we want a all in one ! clicky button, hall stick, and trigger stop

[@kermitwiththenikes3884]

Something I haven’t heard anyone talk about with the elite 2 is the thumb sticks unscrew I’ve had that happen to me twice now

[@Forgoten214]

Man i just went 1000hz polling rate on Xbox already. I hope the update comes out soon for the 1000hz polling rate for the series X.

[@MaiiqyGaming]

I added my own trigger stops and it's been brilliant.

[@1copyright]

how did you manage to do that?

[@HiTechHead]

I'm not even a controller chaser. But I enjoy your content

[@alessandrovisco1859]

Hello perfect review as always! Why don't you test the sticks accuracy on gamepad tester? It's very important😮

[@GlockTonyy]

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 cut better cuz they are perfectly smooth on both sticks

[@thefreshtowel9815]

I love gamesir I have the old t4 as my go to ps3 controller with an adapter and their x2 pro mobile controller is top tier as well

[@WedgemanBrad]

I appreciate the basement yard reference 😅

[@-n-6969]

Thanks to gamesir!! i hope they create a better build quality g7 se soon..

[@meurumtrain4747]

This controller is awesome I’m in love

[@viperdemonz-jenkins]

love that sweet thriller jacket.

[@southpark159753]

Remember when Halo 3 was super sensitive and you had to get the No-Slow mod for the sticks?

[@DTOWNRW16]

once my scuf wears out... oh boy this looks tempting

[@xLumac]

Cuda bumpin that Yeat🔥

[@acruzp]

Had they made it with 4 buttons, I would order one right now. Literally.

[@bu2280]

Im only stuck using an elite controller because of how versatile it is for me. I can use it hard wired on my pc and can also take full use of it with bluetooth on my phone for mobile gaming.

[@DatBoiSaint]

Sunk cost fallacy

[@one-noob8283]

I appreciate that your videos have Spanish translation

[@yoshi555king]

I’m glad I found your channel bro. You give proper information about the controllers and I learn a new thing with every video. Greetings from the Netherlands

[@slambaminacan2445]

The subtle nod to Simpson's H&R is a reason alone that I will never unsubscribe from this man ❤ #4buttongang

[@jaylynsposito5103]

U look like this kid I know.... 👀 Super awesome videos bud💕 u kinda funny 🤭

[@bahgoesthesheep]

Hey cuda, I have just seen there was a firmware update for the nexus app. But I can not see any difference, would you think this is 1000hz support? I can not find anything on the official website. Also I'm on the Xbox series x. Maybe it doesn't support it on Xbox hence no option? Cheers bud
