GameSir G7 SE Wired Controller for Xbox Series X S Xbox One Windows 10 11 Plug and Play

For whatever reason my original XBox One started having issues with maintaining connection with wireless controllers (what can you expect, it's about 12 years old). Until I can figure out that issue I still need a controller which I can rely on to function so a wired one was my only option and this one looked good. It functioned perfectly right out of the box, despite it being an old console and having years of dust in the USB port that needed cleaning out. I haven't done much intense gaming with it yet but it seems like it has pretty good responsiveness and it feels good in the hands. Never had a controller with back paddles before... Neat feature is there are locking switches for each of them so if you want the feel of a solid back of the controller just lock them and they will not toggle, they're fixed. Honestly, when you're using it with them locked it's hard to even notice that they are there I might update once I've had some more games under my belt with it but so far it seems like this controller is a good value and worth the good ratings Read more

What sets the Gamesir G7 SE apart is that it does pretty much everything well. Here is a list of features that I feel set this controller apart from other contenders: 1. It has smooth hall effect sticks and a nice D-Pad that isn’t too stiff or clicky 2. The buttons are comfortable to press and responsive 3. It comes with a color-matched, 9.8-foot braided USB cable. The cable also has an attached Velcro strip for wrapping up the cable, which is a classy, thoughtful touch. 4. The buttons on the back can be locked to prevent accidental inputs. 5. It also has swappable faceplates that you can buy separately if you can find them for sale. I bought a red face plate to put on my white G7 SE, and it looks great. 6. It works flawlessly on Series X and PC with no issues. Most importantly, it excels at its most important mission, gaming. I’m picky when it comes to controllers and I can’t find anything to criticize. This time, I purchased the orange version, which looks fantastic. I’ve tried many 3rd party controllers, and usually there are one or two things about them that irk me. In contrast, the Gamesir gets all the little details right. Happy gaming! Read more

WOW. solid heavy responsive feels realllly high quality....might be better than the originals. i got White, its gorgeous; plug n play just tested around 40 various genre/year PC games on windows 11 all respond perfect. Games that would not work with my PS DS4 work perfect with this (no spinning) The USB cable alone should cost $15 this thing could tow a truck :) i would buy more and recommend them strongly. Buy It.

I play on PC, and have used the OEM standard Xbox wireless controllers exclusively for years. This G7 SE although wired is noticeably better. The Hall Effect sticks and triggers feel great and precise. The USB-C connection on the controller is brilliantly recessed which protects against damaging the port if cable gets snagged or yanked. With Gamesir’s Nexus app you can easily update the firmware, set polling rate to 250hz 500hz or 1000hz, set hair trigger mode, map buttons and more. Excellent value, premium feeling/performing controller. Wired connection is a non issue as I sit at my desk while gaming. Read more

Purchased this controller because I already own a hall effect keyboard and was intrigued to learn this controller has hall effect sticks. I own an Elite 2 and absolutely despise the thing (has been nothing but a plethora of problems). I've always defaulted to standard MS Xbox controllers but sick of replacing the controller or sticks once stick drift gets so bad. I figured I'd give an alternative to analog a try. So far this controller has been impressive, especially at it's price point. After some tweaking in Nexus, the sticks feel better than any controller I've ever owned. It's lightweight and feels study enough to last, though standard MS controllers still feel like a better build overall. The sticks are responsive, very low input delay and micro adjustments are effortless. I love the fact I can customize my response curve and dead zone settings outside a particular game and that the sticks feel "true to touch" to my input. My only complaints: Some of the buttons are somewhat below par on responsiveness. Sometimes I find myself having to press a button more than once for it to register. I also don't like the layout position of the menu/view buttons. It took some re-adjusting because of their placement, but again, it can take a couple presses for a response which can be annoying if you are playing games that require to view a map or menu quickly. Overall, I'd recommend this controller for those on a budget and who would like more responsiveness, customization and accuracy from their sticks as opposed to what MS has to offer. Read more

So far so good. Have been using a cheaper similar controller on amazon almost identical to this one however the paddles on the bottom are a tad bigger so I find myself hitting them when I dont want to. Will take some getting used to but overall decent controller so far UPDATE 3/27/26 Left stick no longer clicks down after extensive use. No drift yet and still works when pressed but no longer clicks down. Read more

Really great controller. Performs similar to higher end ones without breaking the bank. The software is good to so you can set it all up. Read more
