ZERO DRIFT, Much BETTER Than Xbox Series Controllers | GameSir G7 HE & SE

[@mattdavis9601]

There's no reason why a person couldn't buy one of these and use it with an Android phone or tablet over OTG, right? I remember years ago RotorRiot, a company that made drone stuff, had a special controller for Android that was basically a wired Xbox style controller with no battery, a phone mount, and a short length of cable to connect the two. I ended up going Bluetooth with my conventional controller; but, I'll admit to really appreciating the plug and play nature of my wired X2 Pro telescopic controller. EDIT: I don't wish to be included in the giveaway. I recently won a Gulikit KK3 Pro which I'm very happy with. As a result I simply don't need another controller. Hopefully these will go to people who are coping with cheapo controllers or a brand name unit that's now on its last legs. Thanks again for everything you do on this channel, Klef.

[@GameTechTalk]

That is very kind of you Matt, extremely commendable. It's one of those products that I'm less the target for, being that I don't play on my Series X that often but the quality is absolutely undeniable. This made me understand where the Nova Lite comes from a bit better.

[@bunthearchive2404]

Gamesir has a gamepad for phones, tablets etc...

[@mattdavis9601]

@@bunthearchive2404 - I'm aware. In fact I own several. The video we're all commenting under is a giveaway video. I was asking because I wanted to know if I could actually use this controller were I to win it. I don't own an Xbox or PC at the moment and if I can't use it then I don't want to take it away from someone who could. In the bad old days, wired Xbox controllers often didn't work with Android. Other wired controllers, yes. But not Xbox controllers. Even first party controllers would only work over a wire if you paired it wirelessly first. It was weird. I'm not sure if these behave the same way or if that was fixed sometime after the One gave way to the Series Xboxes.

[@broham1576]

To be honest these controllers are really good, (debatable for the price) but they are solid for what a controller should be, like other controllers around the price rage dont have software at all. GameSir really does need to be commended for what they do in the controller space.

[@GameTechTalk]

I tried liking 50 times but the number kept going up and down. YES, YESSSS!! There are a few ones that also do phenomenal work but I gotta say, considering just how many directions that GameSir shoot at, they hardly ever miss so far. Be it Xbox controllers, PC controllers, Switch controllers, telescopic controllers. They really are making this market move at a faster pace, they have so much influence with the quality they put out.

[@Terran343]

Since i found this company, i loved their products, and this one is excellent, i use controllers for my phone and sometimes for games

[@GameTechTalk]

You and I both, it started rough with the original X2, no lie. They have come up so much since. They started cheap but they used their profits to increase the quality, very respectable.

[@KiwiDragn]

Very impressive controllers! I've heard a lot about GameSir but have never seen their software in action, it's a nice middle ground of simple and feature packed. Hopefully they can figure out a way to get the 1k polling and the headphone jack working together at some point for the people who use wired headsets in their wired controller on pc.

[@GameTechTalk]

I remember reading seeing a post that I kind of glanced over of someone saying there was apparently a way? But that is something I have not researched beyond that. I always saw it as a "cap" in bandwidth so to leave the 1000hz functional, the audio encoding bitrate was removed. With that said, I'm unsure if that has anything to do at all, just guess work on my part.

@@GameTechTalkit’s most likely v hard for gamesir to get a licensed wireless controller thru xbox because it would be offered at a price point that is so competitive to xbox that they just would never even think to let them make the controller. they have wired options cheaper than a base xbox controller with way more features.

[@Irving_alexis011]

Of all the controller you have reviewed which one have you fell in love with and is your preferred controller to play in PC?

[@GameTechTalk]

Ohh that is a tough question but the honest most answer is one I can’t currently give out because I have an embargo! 😉 With that said, as someone that reviews them, you’d be surprised just how much these companies constantly one-up each other. It’s disconcerting how consistently they manage to slightly improve over one another, almost as if they were all in agreement that it’s each other’s turn to do better than the previous.

How is the stick tension in the G7SE vs PS5 stock controller? Subjectively PS5 felt a lot stiffer to me, but the stick forces should only be 55g vs 59g. Is the HE even stiffer than the PS5, at 70g? EDIT: Oh okay, the PS5 controller I tried was modded.

[@Luca28Raffaelli]

I heard that the HE variant is smaller than the SE one. Is this true, and if yes, which one is closer to the original xbox series controller dimensions?

[@GameTechTalk]

If it is, it's by such a small amount that it is indistinguishable for me. I'd say they both feel the same and both are extremely close to the Xbox controller, to the point that I wouldn't know if you put one in my hands with my eyes closed.

[@Luca28Raffaelli]

@GameTechTalk Alright, thank's

[@guccibangs9216]

I have large hands. I just recently started playing 2knba and i feel like my xbox one controller has a bunch of delay when i shoot, is not consistent at all. Which one do you say has better ergonomics for larger hands, this or 8bit do 2c? And which one has less latency on inputs?

[@GameTechTalk]

The 2C has been benchmarked and showcases phenomenal button latency, but we are in the "wow so amazing" territory, which I would say the G7 line also is part of, if ever so slightly not as fast "latency-wise". Personally, I don't think the Ultimate line from 8BitDo has desirable ergonomics, good, not great. As for the G7 line, if you like the ergonomic of Xbox controllers, you'll love that one, it's basically a 1:1.

[@vaganast2909]

Should I get gamesir nova lite or easySMX x10?

Pls recommend the better one ❤

[@GameTechTalk]

I kind of said it in your comment, the Nova Lite is amazing especially when thinking of its value. With that said, the features of the X10 definitely makes it the better controller of the two. If money is no object, I would say the X10 will give you an overall superior experience and more flexibility on how to fully utilize your controller.

[@jesusayalaherrera4304]

Why there are no controllers com0atible with xbox and nor sl Bluetooth (only original xbox, but that is very easy to develop drift)

[@GameTechTalk]

I have a theory on that which basically, it comes down one of three things in my opinion: -Microsoft doesn’t want to risk for proprietary channels to leak and get « stolen » -They legally cannot because some radio waves can be government regulated -Their licensing program never included Bluetooth and they haven’t changed their policies Speculations, but I think I’d fall within one of those three reasons.

They are extremely EXTREMELY similar. But if I had to choose, I'd give a slight edge to the G7 HE and contrary to the Kaleid, changing polling rate is simpler on the G7 HE, whereas with Kaleid, you need to download an extra software for some reason. I'd say the Kaleid looks better (subjective), the G7 HE is better. If you want the best of both worlds, go Iron Man edition, it looks like a car, so beautiful!

Doesn't mean they are bad, or unreliable, just that it's a controller designed to lean back and enjoy some light pace gaming. If you're competitive, if you are after highly responsive, highly reliable, persistent components, between the two, G7 SE / HE is where it's at.

[@g00senek2]

Don't listen to this guy. So far, NOTHING is better than the Elite Series 2 for Xbox. I even just bought the brand new Razer Wolverine V3 Pro that had tons of hype. Guess what? Cheap feeling and terrible. Stick drift out the box with "hall effect" joysticks. Is this controller good for the price? Definitely. But better than the Elite Series 2 is a flat out lie. It's the only controller I can use and I've tried them ALL.

[@PeazUpAtownDown]

The adjustable tension thumbsticks is really good for fps games on the series 2. Once you get a feel for the gamesir g7se or he Hall effect sticks tho, it’s so good for aiming. I’ve had my gamesir g7 se for about 8 months with no stick drift and no problems thus far and I paid 34 usd. For the price nothing beats the gamesir lineup. However, I’ll agree; the feel, the bells and whistles that come with the es2 is really solid.

no polling rate test and dpad test in fighting games 🥲

[@GameTechTalk]

My apology, I usually do these things but I'll be honest, I ended up cutting them because I am revisiting some of the tests I usually make, and how I make them. With that said, the controller can effectively go from 250hz, 500hz and 1000hz (with caveats addressed during the video). Latency appears decent, I'd say slightly above average for the most part, extremely stable and the stick resolution is phenomenal, beyond what I usually see even. As for the d-pad, I like the SE one, I'd say B- but as for the HE one, more like C- for me personally. I'm not a fan of the tactile d-pad GameSir has on some of their controllers, but if you don't intend to play fighting games, both d-pad will do the job for input commands. Thanks to your comment, it's letting me know some people look forward to these things so I'll leave them in and only make changes when I have a fully fledged solution, rather than pre-emptively "rolling them out".
