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

GameSir G7 SE Wired Controller is the object under review here. I was flicking through TikTok in a panic (as you do) when an advert came up for this controller, which reminded me that I had promised myself I'd get a new wired controller for my PC, having been putting up with the wireless XBox version for a year or so. I came to that one from the old (and very much missed) XBox 360 version. Sadly, that one is difficult to find these days. This is by way of letting you know that I have many decades of experience with controllers. Not that you should listen to me in preference to all the other splendid reviewers here. This is just my thruppence worth. So, after watching a chap called Linus (the tech tip guy) compare a whole bunch of controllers, this one (the GameSir G7 SE) was I think the most recommended wired controller. Other influencers on YouTube seemed to think it was pretty good too, so that helped me make my mind up. The influencers were not specific about the colour, but one reviewer did say the thing was only available in white. No, no, no. At least here in the UK I had a wide choice, settling on the lovely baby blue one (just to avoid confusion with the original XBox One device, which was black). I was pleased to see that the controller came with a cable which was also a similar shade of blue, albeit slightly lighter in tone. Probably something to do with the braided texture rather than any failure of Pantone blending in either the design or the manufacturing phase. The cable is a good length too (someone mentioned ten feet, but I didn't measure it), allowing me to snake it under my monitor and behind the computer table into a nice USB port on the back of my PC. In my hands the GameSir G7 SE seemed rather smaller than the XBox One controller, a fact confirmed by a close comparison. The textured undersides of both are different too, with the XBox controller having a rather more refined texture that feels better to me. The GameSir G7 SE is lighter even than the empty XBox One controller - a positive boon if you are sensitive to weight in that way. I'm not, but I might be after a marathon session of No Man's Sky. The analogue sticks feel good, not better than the XBox One device, but perfectly serviceable, and of course they have some kind of magic going on that makes the GameSir G7 SE operate without contact points, so that should mean a long life - at least for those parts. All the buttons and triggers are nice, but the menu buttons are in an entirely different place, meaning that in my gameplay tests I was hitting blank plastic for the first few minutes. Not a problem. Even my old brain will adapt eventually. There are two "extra" buttons, or paddles on the UNDERSIDE the GameSir G7 SE, which both have little switches to lock them. I cannot imagine ever using them, but they are there and they don't really affect the feel of the thing. GameSir is very keen for us to download their app, which connects to the GameSir G7 SE controller and allows you to create profiles. I have no use for that. I can barely manage the games I play as it is without getting confused by managing profiles! But some of you may love this idea. It looks as though the front fascia of the GameSir G7 SE can be removed. I don't know why anyone would want to, and I haven't tried it myself. Well, that's not true. I did give it a tug (there's a small and very inviting indent on the front which cries out to be fiddled with) but I gave up for fear of breaking it. But again, some of you might have better luck. I did think for a moment that the dead zones of both sticks were a little extreme, but I did a quick comparison with the old XBox One controller and it was exactly the same! Neat! All in all, a nice wee controller in a variety of colours with a few extra buttons and a long wire of a matching shade.

Great Controller, at least there's no longer any drift like the original Xbox Series X controller that came with it ended up getting (kicker, it was only seven days old when I got it as I got it with the console! 😑).. Only issue is, I wish this came in other colours like Deep Pink, Neon Pink Yellow, Toxic Green, Red and so on!. Will be buying two more soon for both my wife and daughter.. n_n ..

Best controller ever I've never had stick drift and its so customizable. my only problem with it is that it doesnt come in other colors like black or green because the white can get stained easily with sweaty hands

Great controller. Build quality is nice, buttons and Hall effect sticks and triggers are wonderful and feels far better than a standard Xbox controller. The software is also really good for customising. There is one thing holding it back from a full 5 stars and that’s the usb-c input on the controller. Do be aware, if you plan on getting your own cable then pay close attention and do some research as I have tried 3 very well made and highly rated cables and none worked and took me a while to figure out that the cable that comes with the controller firstly, has a very narrow usb-c casing which you can easily find but anything longer than 10ft / 3m won’t work due to the controller having Hall effect sticks it’s just the max length for it to work correctly and that’s not the manufacturers fault it’s just how it is so keep this in mind if you want something longer. If they solve that, it would be a full 5 stars as even the trigger and handle rumble feels a tad better than the original controller and it has made a massive difference to my enjoyment and level in some games. *small update (11/07/2025) - the D pad has become a little unresponsive, at times not registering an input and I don’t use the D pad very much apart from in menus mainly so it’s a little disappointing but the controller is still very much worth it. Hopefully I just have a bad sample.

Cela fait bientôt un an que j’utilise cette manette GameSir G7 SE et elle est toujours nickel. Aucun stick drift, les joysticks répondent parfaitement comme au premier jour. La prise en main est très agréable, on sent tout de suite que la manette est bien pensée. Les matériaux sont solides, rien ne fait cheap, elle inspire confiance et durabilité. Je l’utilise exclusivement sur PC et je n’ai rencontré aucun problème de compatibilité ou de reconnaissance : elle est branchée, elle fonctionne. Franchement, pour un prix inférieur à une manette officielle, le rapport qualité/prix est excellent. Une très belle surprise que je recommande sans hésiter.

Controller davvero eccellente! La qualità costruttiva è ottima e si percepisce subito appena lo si tiene in mano: solido, ben assemblato e molto ergonomico, perfetto anche per lunghe sessioni di gioco. I joystick con effetto Hall sono un grande punto di forza: precisi, fluidi e senza problemi di drifting, migliorano notevolmente l’esperienza rispetto ai controller tradizionali. Anche i pulsanti e i grilletti rispondono in modo rapido e accurato. Il collegamento plug and play è immediato su PC, senza bisogno di configurazioni complicate. Molto comoda anche la presenza del jack audio da 3,5 mm per collegare le cuffie direttamente al controller. Consigliatissimo a chi cerca un controller affidabile, preciso e con prestazioni di alto livello!

Kag har inte fått stick drift denna kontrollen är någonting annat. Rekommenderar kontrollen helt köp den

Muazzam bir gamepad. Gamepad gerçek anlamda yüzde sıfıra yakın bir circularity rate sunuyor (%0.1). Tetik tuşları inanılmaz hızlı, 1000hz hızda çalışan bir gamepad ve zaten gamepad kablolu olduğu için hiçbir kayıp olmadan çalışabiliyor. Orijinal Microsoft gamepadi ile kıyaslayacak olursak donanım olarak kesinlikle bu gamepad çok çok daha iyi. Ancak, materyal kalitesi Xbox gamepadi ile yarışamaz. Xbox gamepadinde ABXY tuşlarının baskısı zamanla silinmemesi için üstleri kaplı, daha iyi bir plastik kalitesi ve daha iyi bir dokusu var yani kolun tek eksisi bu bence lakin sunduğu donanım karşısında bu eksileri görmezden geliyorum çünkü her iki kola sahip olsam da özellikle Ninja Gaiden gibi tamamen reflekse dayalı oyunlarda rahat bir 10 kat fark oluyor. Analog çubukları ve kol genel olarak beyaz renkte olduğu için uzun süre oyun oynadıktan sonra çabuk kirleniyor gözle görülür şekilde. Gamepadlerinizi kolonya ile silmeyin yüzde 90-99 saflıktaki İPA ile ve pamuk ile silin aksi takdirde tetiklerde ve ABXY tuşlarında yapışkanlık hissi başlar.
