GameSir G7 SE Wired Controller for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One & Windows 10/11, Plug and Play Gaming Gamepad with Hall Effect Joysticks/Hall Trigger, 3.5mm Audio Jack

I recently picked up the GameSir G7 SE Wired Controller for Xbox Series X|S, and I’m genuinely impressed! From the moment I plugged it in, it delivered a smooth and responsive gaming experience. The wired connection means zero input lag, which is a huge plus for competitive play and fast-paced games. The controller feels solid and well-built — it has a comfortable grip that stays good even during long gaming sessions. Button presses are crisp and reliable, and the analog sticks are accurate with minimal drift. I also love the ergonomic shape; it fits nicely in my hands and doesn’t cause fatigue, even after hours of play. One of the standout features for me is the programmable buttons. Customizing controls was super easy, and it made playing certain games way more intuitive. The build quality feels premium for the price point, and at this cost, it’s a great alternative to the official Xbox controllers without sacrificing performance. Overall, if you’re looking for a high-quality, affordable wired controller for your Xbox Series X|S, the GameSir G7 SE is absolutely worth it. Great performance, great feel, and excellent value — highly recommended!

Outstanding controller. This is probably the best quality for the best price you can find. I highly recommend. I'm not a big fan of the clicky buttons...and this controller doesn't have that. These are membrane buttons, so they are pretty much silent. They are not totally silent, but they don't have the clicky sound and feel like a mouse button. Solid construction and feels great in the hand. Works great. 10 out of 10. Buy it. You won't regret it. Don't mess around with garbage controllers.

The GameSir G7 SE wired controller is an excellent choice for Xbox Series X|S and PC. The Hall Effect analog sticks are the biggest highlight—they feel extremely smooth, precise, and most importantly, no stick drift. This alone makes it stand out from standard controllers. The controller feels solid and well-built, with comfortable grips and responsive buttons. Input latency is very low, which is great for competitive games like shooters or racing titles. Triggers are smooth and consistent, and the D-pad is accurate. Setup is plug-and-play, and the companion software allows for easy customization of buttons and settings. Overall, this controller offers premium features at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended for competitive and casual gamers alike.

Been using for months now, every button works perfectly. It's so surreal to type that. Most controllers I've had have always had at least one small problem. A button doesn't register, a bad shoulder button, rubber texture peeling, star/menu button doesn't work. You name it. Luckily, my Xbox regular controllers never broke nor had a problem. But it did give out after 4 and a half years. Now the elite? 7 replacements. SEVEN. I take care of my controllers, and I was astonished by how bad the elites were. If you can find one that actually works and buy a warranty, yes, it is the best controller out there. If you can find one. Or you can just buy this controller. It's cheaper, full-on plastic, yet it does the job far better than any version of elite. The only drawback is that it's not wireless, nor does it have tension grips. But I couldn't care less about wireless. But here's why I didn't rate it five stars. The cable that comes with it is cheap. And I mean cheap. You will constantly disconnect by the slightest movement. To my horror, I was inserting it wrong, because the input was labeled the SAME on each side when you insert it on the controller. What the hell kind of design is that?? I was losing my mind trying to find why the cable was so bad, until I went online to reddit and saw the forums crapping on the cables too. The fix? A six-dollar 3-pack sold by Aliun here on Amazon. Did it fix my problem? Yes. Was it absolutely ridiculous that I had to buy another cable? Yep. Anyhoo, just buy this controller if you want a competitive FPS controller that actually works and holds its own against an elite, look no further. I use a regular xbox series s/x controller for every game, but for FPS, this is the controller you want. Say goodbye to stick drft and happy gaming.

I've spent hundreds, if not a thousand or so, of dollars on controllers over the years in my search for the perfect one. I thought I found it with the original Xbox Elite controller, which I sold off when the white version was released. For a year, that controller was my weapon of choice until the left joystick started to drift. I had it shipped off, hoping it could be fixed, but it was even worse when it was returned. Since then, I have had the worst luck with Elite controllers that either had drift right out of the box or buttons that needed to be pressed dead-center in order to work. Eventually, I gave up on the Elite controller and put gamepads from various other companies to the test. I bought a PowerA controller and several Razers. Buying extended warranties became a habit -- I normally don't purchase them, but controllers have limited 90-day to one-year warranties that don't cover enough of a controller's lifespan. Part of the problem is that modern-day controllers use potentiometers to determine how far or fast you move your joystick. Over time, the friction from components sliding over and under each other wears out until the tension holding your joystick at the zero-point becomes imbalanced. That causes stick drift -- your joystick is pushed or pulled away from the center. Hall effect sensors, which use magnets to detect the position of joysticks and triggers, will never drift -- in theory. Because the parts don't rub against each other, Hall effect sensors last a lot longer than your average gamepad that will eventually succumb to drift. I've used the GameSir G7 SE Wired Controller for a few weeks now, and it's been a great controller at a lower price-point than Microsoft's own standard controller. The controller has a build quality that feels similar to the standard controller with a sturdy plastic shell that doesn't feel cheap. The triggers were a little too sensitive out of the box, but after tuning them with the app and getting used to how much further they seem to stick out -- they're a little more pronounced, like upside down claws -- I haven't had any issues with them. The buttons feel fine without any mushiness or dead spots, and the sticks actually seem to be more accurate even with small nudges because you're not fighting the friction of the potentiometer. There are some features to the controller, like the buttons in the back, an app that lets you change a few settings, and some on-the-fly key presses you can do to change configurations that lift the value of the controller at its current price. I wish there were physical trigger locks, though the app allows for hair-trigger presses. I would advise that you immediately download and use the app before you game in order to calibrate the controller and set it up to your liking.

I want to start by saying I was in a bmstate of shock when I happened upon this controller, I was playing an fps on Xbox called PUBG and my Xbox wireless controller started malfunctioning buttons were registering that they were being pressed when they weren't and the joysticks were sticking and it just felt terrible. So I went looking online. Stumbled upon the gamesir g7 se and man let me tell you what. This thing is great. The Nexus gamesir app is a little confusing at first but once you get the hang of it the amount of bells and whistles that come with this controller are astounding now some people won't like it because it is a wired controller. It does not support the use of batteries or battery packs but the braided cable that it comes with is really strong and extremely long. You are able to unplug the controller so you can store it easier. The programmable buttons on the back are really well designed and have blocking mechanism so If you don't want to use them they will remain flush against the bottom so it feels just like a regular controller and the Hall effect sticks are what I really was looking for in a new controller because if you have ever owned a console you know that one things stays the same, after a few months of use the old controllers would start to get the dreaded stick drift. With these baby's you can say good bye to that age old problem of peasants haha. I digress... There is an extra button in between the right joystick and the dpad called the M button which you use to map buttons or unmap buttons. But it serves multiple purposes one if you press and hold the M button and the left dpad it will turn the game volume up and the voice chat down and vice versa. Which is really a game changer for today's games. The M button and up on the dpad turns the game volume up and vice versa for the down d pad button. Oh and the dpad is a membrane it's not stiff and crappy like the other doads of yester year. The triggers can be customized by making them hair triggers in your gamesir Nexus app you will discover that you will want some dead zone at the beginning of their travel because boy let me tell you it's embarrassing to shoot your teammate in the back on accident. The face plate of the g7 SE controller is magnetic and removable really easily and I believe it is also safe to be drawn and painted on though I haven't gotten the courage to let my daughter paint it for me. The joysticks can also be put into "raw mode" which gives you more precision for those sniper shots from a medium distance and the controller is light and very comfortable to use for hours on end. I will say there was only one thing I didn't like about the controller when I first got it and that was the fact that they moved the media and start button up near the top of the controller by the Xbox button so it was awkward for me to loot because I loot with my menu open mostly, but after I got my handhold on the controller adjusted and got used to it, I don't even know how I could have been slightly bothered by it. I know I missed some things that are gonna be really cool as well but my teammates are telling at me to ready up so I gotta go. If you play pubg on console. I will see you on the FPP battlegrounds

Excellent controller! My new favorite controller with my Xbox Series X. Read on as I compare this controller to others I've had and also how to successfully extend the cord length. Playing FPS games, I've gone through 3 official Microsoft Xbox controllers. Each developing stick drift after less than 6 months. I didn't really like the official controllers and I started using PowerA Spectra Infinity wired controllers. I liked the PowerA controllers better as I could set a shorter distance on depressing the two rear trigger buttons and also the inclusion of the custom programmable buttons on the back of the controller. However, I went through a few of these controllers too as they also developed stick drift after a number of months. The PowerA controllers have an app so I could try and calibrate the worn out sticks. This was only a temporary fix as it would decrease responsiveness of the sticks and they would eventually drift further. I've now bought this GameSir G7 SE Wired Controller. It is GREAT! Right out of the box the sticks have no drift. Excellent responsiveness and control. It has the two programmable back buttons and through the GameSir Nexus app, on my Xbox, I was able to set the rear triggers to be hair triggers. Everything is good, EXCEPT I needed more cable length. With my old PowerA controllers I was using a 9.8 feet USB 3.0 extension cable with no problem. That same cable extension would NOT work with my new GameSir G7 SE plugged into it. This led to experimentation. I had a 3.3 feet USB 2.0 extension cable and it worked fine plugging it into the Series X and then plugging the GameSir G7 SE's cable into that USB extension. However connecting two 3.3 feet USB 2.0 extension cables together and then the GameSir G7 SE cable did NOT work. I had a single 6.5 feet USB 2.0 extension cable that I tried. Also did NOT work. Here comes the interesting part: ADDING A NON-POWERED USB HUB Adding a non-powered USB hub allowed me to use longer extension cables with this controller. So my current setup is: Xbox Series X > non-powered USB hub > 6.5 feet USB 2.0 extension cable > GameSir G7 SE Controller cable > Controller. I was also able to get the longer 9.8 feet USB 3.0 extension cable to work, but it needed to be in the following order: Xbox Series X > 9.8 feet USB 3.0 cable extension > non-powered USB hub > GameSir G7 SE Controller cable > Controller. All seems to work well with the extension cables, including with a wired headset being plugged into the GameSir G7 SE controller. USB extension cables I've tested: Amazon Basics USB-A 2.0 Extension Cable, 3.3 feet = Works without needing a USB hub. 2x Amazon Basics USB-A 2.0 Extension Cables connected together, (3.3 feet each, 6.6 feet connected together) = Works, but needs a USB hub before or after the extension cables. Amazon Basics USB-A 2.0 Extension Cable, 6.5 feet = Works, but needs a USB hub before or after the extension cable. Amazon Basics USB-A 3.0 Extension Cable, 9.8 feet = Works, but needs a USB hub AFTER the extension cable. (Xbox > Extension Cable > USB Hub > GameSir G7 SE cable > controller) USB Hubs tested and working: Anker 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub, Ultra-Slim Data USB Hub with 2 ft Extended Cable, Model: AK-A7516012 (A7516) Insignia USB 2.0 4-Port Hub, Model: NS-PCH5420 An old "Xtreme Tech" USB 2.0 Hub from Five Below My guess is other non-powered USB hubs may work too. If this controller keeps working as well as it does now, and lasts longer than 6 months, I'm going to be very pleased!

I love this controller the amount of things you get with it for the price is amazing. The paddles work amazingly they are sensitive but once you get use to them, they can help you a lot in certain games plus you can turn them off for other games which is a great thing for me since I play a lot of other games that don't really need them. I love the hair triggers as well it's hard to believe how much of difference it can make in a lot of my games I never turn them off now lol, and the fact the gamesir app is on both Xbox and PC is a huge help since you need to turn features like the hair trigger on I almost avoided the controller since I thought the app was gonna pc only, but I was so happy that I was wrong. The deadzone is also amazing to play with, my movements have been a lot more precise when playing fps games, don't really notice much of a difference when playing on other genres of games though, again you will need the app to enable it. But here's where something went wrong, and this 100% my fault as I was being dumb. So I also have kontrol freeks which help with aiming on fps games they were a tight squeeze but I was able to put them on the controller, this is where I was being dumb. The controller also has a removable plate on it, so I decided to open it and see if there was any dust, but I forgot to take the kontrol freeks off and the joysticks came off with the plate, lucky enough I was able to put them back in but I noticed the right analog stick wasn't working well, it wouldn't input when pressing down on it and the stick was getting stuck on some parts, I was able to fix it but I noticed I started getting stick drift again which wasn't a good thing I checked the app and I had the feature turn on, that when I realized that it was probably because I accidentally pull of the analog stick when I opened it, I didn't make it out to be a big deal as the controller still worked fine just with a little bit of stick drift, so I was OK with it. But a month later the analog stick was doing the same thing where the button inside wouldn't work and the analog stick would get stuck. So sadly it seems I will have to buy another one unless a miracle happens and it works regularly again, I will say this again it was 100% my fault I should've been more careful with it. But anyway overall this is a great controller for the price, it was probably the best purchase I made for my Xbox. Just be careful when using it and be a lot more responsible than me lol.
