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

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.

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!

Current gamepads from Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo use legacy tech with potentiometers that wear down and always result in stick drift. I had 2 xbox controllers (2020 model) that broke in this exact way just past the warranty, despite being visually and functionally flawless until you see the input in-game. I take care of my toys, so this is 100% a design flaw. One they absolutely know about. Looked for alternatives and came upon this one, specifically due to use of the 'hall effect' design which completely sidesteps the potentiometer issue. Apparently, it has a significantly longer lifespan compared to legacy tech so you'll be far more likely to worry about other things going wrong before stick drift makes an appearance if at all. I wasn't expecting much, just a cheap replacement that doesn't have the drift problem. Turns out, this brand and model is pretty high-quality. Definitely not what you think of when considering 3rd party hardware from China. I think the stereotype of cheap and low-quality goods from that portion of the world is outdated and no longer true. At least, nowhere near as inclusive as it used to be. It's got a good weight to it along with responsive buttons and great stick tension. The packaging also exhibits care in shipping out their products. They included foam bumpers specifically for the sticks themselves which was nice to see. My only complaint is the usb-c port. It's recessed, so unless you use specific usb-c wires not all of them fit. This is either an oversight or deliberate so you have to buy their cables. Whatever the reason, it's a bad call. But overall, I'm very satisfied. Good quality, great price with tiers of features/models if you need more or less. Assuming it functions as expected for the long term I'll be looking to them for future purchases.

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.

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.

Best controller I’ve had. It survived Several falls and never gained any stick thrift, make sure to use the game, sir. Nexus app to get the most functionality out of the controller, especially the smaller dead zones. They’re manually programmable. Had this controller for 2 1/2 years. Unfortunately, I was running and fell out of my backpack. It Landed straight on It’s left trigger and broke the trigger. But this many years of life with no stick drift is insane. Especially compared to the Xbox standard controllers.

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.
