Late by nearly a year, but I figure if I'm covering the new G7 the original deserves a full video as well! The G7 was a startling wakeup call that the companies making the devices we use spend far less making them than we think. This part of the GameSir series has some useful information about longevity, as well as the possibilities of future budget, and high end pro controllers. I hope you guys enjoy!

I have a GameSir T4W for over 2 years and 2k hours of heavy use without showing a single problem. Zero stick Drift. So yes GameSir controllers, regarding its durability, are amazing. I had an original Microsoft Xbox One controller and the bumpers went off in less than a year. #G7
do the loose ABXY buttons not bother you? that’s the main thing that’s giving me second thoughts. that and the lack of trigger stops
I also have T4W, but for 4 years. The only problems I got is the A button feels like it sticks, maybe disassembling and cleaning would help, dunno. 2nd issue is I get a stick drift, but it goes away after I blow some air into it. And then it reappears the next day, so I gotta do it at the start of each play session :D.
Does the TW4 work for Xbox or just pc?
@@black3ghost75can't say. Don't have a Xbox to test.
@@25MByes open it up and clean it please. 4 years no clean 🤢?
Man I wish ps5 had as many controller options as xbox
i dont care about clicky buttons and fancy optimized enhanced poll rate 500000 hz with rgb swappable plate. all i care about is no stick drift. and im sure 80% of controller players want the same thing
Yeah bruh you are right about the no stick drift... But that's all you're right about...
I won't hold it against you that you'd rather buy 10 pairs of Payless Shoes a year than just buying the pair of Air Forces you'd rather have...
You end up spending more on shitty Payless Shoes than you do on the Expensive Nikes each year...
That's a metaphor that represents your less than educated or experienced OPINION (Which isn't actually the facts at all...) relating to controllers...
See the reason why I can't fault you 100% on that trashcan opinion you have... Is because I know 100% guaranteed, that if you ever had a good version of any of those things you "Don't Care About," you'd be singing a different tune.
I promise you. Because back when it was 2016 I used to say the same thing.
Then I remembered my nuts dropped and I'd been a man quite some time so far and I needed to get a controller like a man should obviously own...
So I spent the money... And God damn bruh... It wasn't easy.
My first actual pro controller was an Elite Series 2 and my second pro controller was Razer Wolverine Ultimate... I owned them both at the same time...
I've always said since then... If they made an elite series 2 like exactly like it aside from the membrane bullshit buttons and add Razers Clicky switches to all the buttons you can press aside from the triggers...
That is a controller combo that if it had Hall effect sticks, wouldn't ever be beaten...
So far I've had ever single pro controller worth its salt, on the market.
There are a ton of fire controllers out there without hall sensors.
That's now a deal breaker to me... But I've had all that "Fancy" stuff you think you don't care about...
You definitely care about it, you just honestly don't know it yet and will argue with anyone about it til You're still playing with a PowerA Spectra wondering why you're still waiting those HALL sticks in the new version so you only have to pay 20 bucks more and and you'll have a PowerA Spectra with hall sticks and I guarantee PowerA will fucking botch the job yet again... So you'll be Spending $70 for the same trash as always with hall sticks... Still buying hall sticks from garbage companies will most likely end up in the garbage... LMFAO.
$70 dollars for a controller with Hall Sticks that's going to be worth it and give you some nice addons... There's mostly trash that's $40 that you will literally regret haha it there are $70 'trollers with hall sticks that don't match the controller I am sending you to buy yourself.
And then there's all the big $ pro controllers that have hall sticks and I won't ever pay $200-$300 again for a controller unless it's the Elite 2 with Razer switches, and hall sticks.
My budget is always going to be the exact amount this one controller at $70, far out does the rest.
If you have a PC or switch or anything besides Xbox, you can use it out the box... But on Xbox you have to buy a dongle that converts this controllers dongle so Xbox can be played on as well... The extra special dongle is like $24 btw...
So ow you're at $94 so what that means is just build a PC... If you're on PC... Then you're not as SPED as I said earlier.
But do yourself a favor and buy an 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller.
I got mine 2 days after it dropped for purchase... I've used it every single day all day long ever since... It has a nice charging dock that it fits on flawlessly... It's USB c... And it comes with a 2.4gHz dongle that you plug into the bottom of your charging dock and then it's always protected, from your chubby lady friends who like to bump into anything with a USB hanging out of it LMFAO.
Get the black one tho... The white one with look nasty on the backs of the hand grips... Even if you wash your hands a lot cuz OCD or sumn...
I promise you man. Pound for pound it's by far... Light years ahead of the other hall sticks controllers at the same price.
It's the best constantly accurate performing NO stick drift controller I've ever had and honestly, I think it's prolly the best hall sticks controller out right now.
The materials could feel better and be of better quality, but then it wouldn't be affordable anymore and that's kinda the the point...
So stop assuming you don't want shit you don't even have a fucking clue about...
Cuz it sounds estupido...
I could be wrong but I feel like you are smart enuff to get it.
@keenansullivan5908 Wth is wrong with your weird ass mf? You're definitely a grown man if you really have clicky buttons on your xbox controller. Go outside a little

Bro I've been watching your vids for about a year now... I just have to say I am always entertained and I usually learn something! Keep doing what your doing man! Thank you!
I really appreciate the detail of this review, especially the part where you talked about the negative reviews.
You post the videos at ungodly hours too (at least this one.)
I think he’s getting better because the T4 vid dropped at like 4am so yea he been on demon time recently 😂
yo i respect you and all your videos. your reviews are raw and straight up vital info to the consumers.
this controller is now my only used pc controller.
VCuda you my favorite person to come to what is reliable or not and I learned a lot from you
Glad I'm able to help man!
Honestly, love this series. Great work and thanks for being so straight forward and informative! #G7
All three videos on these controllers have been amazing so far. Investing more into this trilogy than the first 3 POTC movies tbh, keep up the amazing content man! #G7
You are destined for greatness. Keep up the good work on RUclips
Bro I fr love your videos and you give the most in depth reviews for us keep it up man you are by far the best source for info on controllers 💯
Got the gamesir g7se just today. Its easy to get used to this controller and it feels great sofar. Happy I bought this controller. Really great value for money
Wonderful video like usual cuda! Thanks for the content!!!!
Great review. Really like the placement of those extra buttons. #G7
I bought the t4 kaleid after watching your video bro. Thank you so much for these videos. I would have never discovered these controllers #G7
Once again up at 4:30 am and vcuda never fails to drop a banger
Another great review bro, definitely eagerly waiting for the hall effect vs potentiometer video. #G7
Love your humour in your videos… plus they are informative. Keep up the great work 👍 #G7
Appreciate the honesty with all these controller reviews. #G7
Thanks for the review, I was glad to hear about the triggers! #G7
Man's out here with the only reviews we can trust, AND a giveaway? KING #G7
Great video, I'm going to get the G7 SE.
#G7 love the honesty with all your reviews man. One of the main people i come to view when I want to know about a products!
Love the channel! Your videos are 🔥! Because of your reviews I ordered a G7 SE and i just cannot wait to try it out! Keep up the great content man!
Is it excellent? Did you encounter any problems?
From Flint? Hello From Saginaw. Love your videos!
GameSir has been around for a decade, they celebrated their tenth back in April I believe, and while I don't know their entire product history I do know they've had some interesting products over the years. One notable one is the G5, which is a mobile controller (possibly Android-only) that basically combines the touchpad feature of the Steam Controller (which it does not predate) and the ABXY drag feature of the Flydigi Apex 2 (which was limited to only BXY drag and is predated by the G5) into a touchpad touch and drag that I'm not sure Steam Input and controller configurator allows on the Steam Controller itself. The G7 seems to be their first non-mobile controller, one through six are some variety of mobile controller either from a phone clip to being a phone clamp (Joycon but on a clamp) or the typical smaller and more portable controller to the curveball that was the G5 with it's specific feature set; among their other main products being thumb gloves or physical buttons for touchscreens, with the only other product I know of being a macropad and mouse set for consoles. I'm hoping their future controllers keep on pushing for a low-cost 'pro' controller, and I hope they eventually revisit the G5's concept now that touchpads are becoming more common within the peripheral space on handhelds, plus that IFYOO/DarkWalker half trackpad peripheral, or do something similar to it by putting a slider under buttons like the Apex 2 had done; even if an expanded feature set isn't directly usable on consoles, I do appreciate extra features on PC, plus arguably the idea of a slider under the ABXY cluster does what back buttons provide, giving stick control simultaneously with button control.
Love your reviews bro your a legend
Always appreciate your insight. Best source for xbox controllers hands down.
I just got a T4K thanks to your review of it.
#G7
The G7 is a beast my only beef is the triggers they got sticky after a while but what a solid controller for the price . Love the clicky buttons and the back buttons as well 🔥🔥🙏
5:08 I appreciate so much the d-pad description, all reviewers just say they like it (even shitty ones that I tested myself) and dont even describe if its mushy or clicky.
Its my top priority for tetris and I'm yet to find a Switch controller with a clicky dpad.
For now I have to settle for 8bitdo adapter
Have you used the 8bitdou switch style controller? I use it for any 2d games and the dpad is definitely clickier than my nes controllers.
I've been using the G7 for a very long time, and probably because I take really great care of my controllers, I have not experienced anything wrong with it. No drift, no hall effect issues, button issues, etc. It's been working amazingly well! Learning about the G7 SE, is something alright, but I'll probably stick to the one I have. #G7
even with powerA rollers they can last with light care. idk how some ppl get unlucky with theirs lol
@@itsprod.472probably idiots like me. I had a fusion pro break after 7 months it had drift prior but then the trigger physically broke.
@@itsprod.472I’m on my 2nd powera controller and have had the same issue with both. The joysticks tend to get loose after a while
Im on my first g7, tbh i havent take care of it very well because i drop it a ton of times, and surprisingly nothing has happened!
I just went into the Xbox Series X accessories>controller settings for any controller...then set double pressing the share button to open the Gamesir app.
Which is about as close to quick swapping profiles as I could find. (Works quite well and only takes a second or 2 max to switch to another profile and back to your game)
Always enjoy the content, helped me a lot with my last controller purchase. #G7
thank yo so much for the videos ive got the t4k on your recommendations. #g7 also my fave gun in apex
I got myself a PowerA controller after watching one of your vids, It still works perfectly for more than a year and a half now. My original Xbox controller got the worst stick drift within the first month. Gamesir really showing up man and it's not like they're giving back, we've just been rawdogged by microsoft and sony this whole time so when Gamesir steps up, it's like our lord and savior hath arrived. #G7
Keep up the good work Heath.
This guy is so cool and his videos are super fun to watch💯
Just found your channel and already love your reviews. #G7
I just bought one literally right now because your literally the only controller reviewer Id trust lol
I hope you enjoy the controller man! And I appreciate the support man
Do keep in mind, there are informative, honest reviewers out there you just have to seek them out. They aren't exactly common, but they aren't non-existent!
Love the vids you are one of the only controller reviewing RUclipsrs that i can watch #G7
If you feel any rubbing on the g7 SE Its rubbing because the left side anti friction ring (the blue ring around the sticks) isn’t machined quite perfectly so it isn’t perfectly smooth so it feels “bumpy” the right side feels very smooth tho, found this out after some critical thinking and grabbing the black faceplate off the g7 and putting it on the g7 se. No more rubbing, the black friction rings that come on the g7 are manufactured better cuz they are perfectly smooth on both sticks
Nice looking controller. Just wish it had paddles.
Great review, liked how you went into detail about the reviews and the main reason for the negative ones.
I still have my 1st gen Xbox elite controller. But keeping my eyes out for a decent replacement when it goes to the farm.
It has 2 paddles. That you can lock
I'm looking for something like àn elite controller paddle, as opposed to buttons
Great review mane im thinking about getting one of these #G7 keep up the good work.
#G7 vs. stock controller... a no brainer. I didn't know about this controller before this video and now I definitely want me some #G7 clicky button goodness.
I would like to see a comparison between the gamesir controllers and options from other brands, love the vids.#G7
Thanks for the honest and straight forward review as always. #G7
videos are always great. i have been searching for a pro like controller that was not bank breaking and had all these features. i had the elite s2 it was a great controller but it met its fate with stick drift and I was not paying for that again. i just got recently the razor wolverine v2 chroma on sale for way lower than what they are originally. It has been pretty solid but i dislike the fact they mask stick drift by auto having a deadzone built in already. i was leaning towards thrustmaster for the fact it is modular but i feel they are starting to get bad reviews. working in a manufacturing industry i can see why quality is getting worse as the "lean" initiative (which is never actually applied correctly) is sourcing parts that are cheaper. seems like gamesir is the way to go to not break the bank and have a competitive/reliable controller. #G7
I’ve had the Xbox elite, power a, victus gambit, turtle beach, and a couple others. GameSir G7 is the best I’ve had so far. Very quick response time. Best software. I’ve had 0 problems so far and it’s been 6-7 months. I put in tall sticks from scuff, and they fit perfect. All this and I got a free month of game pass for ordering it too haha.
You mean you just ordered the newest Scuff Xbox controller 4 pack of different height/concave/convex thumb sticks and just put them on the G7? I'd love to try this, but want to make sure I don't order the wrong thumb sticks.
Your videos are always incredibly informative. Based on your recommendations I think I’m gonna save and buy a g7 se. Thanks. #G7
New to the channel I like the content man ✊🏿🔥
Can't wait to see that custom controller project! Like I literally can't wait, drop it now 🤬😂
I got a few in the works at the moment! One for PS5 and one for Xbox, pinky promise 😂
As always with the in-depth review is so helpful and compare it with another controller so we can analyze which one we like or to find. I like the part where it has GAMERS NEXUS SOFTWARE #G7
I ordered it already because you vaguely recommended them in your last video!!! 😂😂 Make sure this video is out on time man. Thank you. #4buttons #G7
I have a T4 and it is a solid controller. The RGB and the hall effect sticks are just fannytastic. However the G7 is, I think, a perfect alternative to a standard Xbox controller. It's cheaper, extra buttons, clicky ABXY. No brainer. #G7
I really am not interested in controllers that much but your videos are just so entertaining so I watch them anyways
Oh man if this had 4 back buttons it would be game over for other controllers.. The polling rate alone is such a huge boon for such a cheap controller and the other features are at least interesting enough to want to tinker with. That sticky trigger issue can be solved no problem if you got a little DIY blood in you. Ghost input issues and problems with the face buttons like ABXY could possibly be overtightening of the chassis or maybe faceplate? Maybe the button cuts are a little wonky and need sanding or something? Either way I think all of these issues can likely be solved on the user end except the connectivity stuff which is likely just cheap solder joints at the USB (would require a little more experience to fix but still doable) Get me in that #G7 drawing sir
@vcuda are the face buttons hard to press? Also is the g7 getting the 1000hz update?
I've never bought a contotller that wasn't offically made by xbox but your reviews are pushing me to get one.
My current contotller has stick drift on both sticks so its time! #G7
Thank you for making such great Controller videos! #G7
Comedic gold in your videos. I feel like ppl dont catch most of it lol
Love you reviews keep up the great work!! #G7
Keep up the good work 👍 I am definitely going to have to pick up one of these controllers and try #G7
You have really good comedic timing. Also, #G7
Short tip for people who want to use Xbox control freeks, open up an old/ broken Xbox controller and take out its stick, remove the faceplate on the g7 and remove the stick you want to add a control freek on. Put in the original Xbox stick and it will fit perfectly. Add back the magnetic faceplate and boom now you can use Xbox control freeks #G7
#G7 and bro you literally have me dying.. Like one of the sillest YTers out here! Need this channel fr
I recently just bought a PowerA Nano controller I was astonished by how small it really is 😂 and now I've only learned abt the GameSir like a couple weeks ago. #G7
Sick vid, detailed information. U r my go-to review for controllers #G7
W video as usual. My controller just started drifting today and Im starting to look for something more reliable than a base xbox controller. Fingers crossed! #G7
I do wished they incorporated the buttons and d-pad in the SE but maybe in a future controller from them we will have the perfect controller. #G7
I pre-ordered the Gamesir G7 SE as soon as I saw your post about it lol. The gamesir G7 looks really cool. If I got the #G7 I'd give it to my friend who has stick drift and loose sticks on his elite series 2 as I think he'd like it more than having to buy another elite series 2 controller.
Do you plan to make review for Flydigi Vader 3 controller? It's also very interesting one with hall magnetic analog, it's fully customizable on PC (means, back buttons are independent) and it's still relatively cheap one.
Im on my 3rd scuf currently, fixed it about 4 times because it kept getting stickdrift. Now the right trigger is broken. I guess it really is time for a new controller. After your videos im considering a gamesir controller. #G7
It's wild the options you can get for less than 50$
#G7 your videos are always entertaining to watch 😂
Time to review the GameSir T4 Cyclone Pro, seems like finally the ultimate wireless controller for pc and switch.
🎉 Great video as always. Keep up the good work man. #G7
the force trigger rumble is just the stock force feedback system on the regular xbox controllers that xbox uses for games like forza and it just lets it work on other games. The ps5 version actually makes it harder to press.
That force feed back toggle on this makes it an essential buy for sim racers on PC who don't like using a wheel.
The clicky dpad models are a must buy for competitive fighting games.
Crazy that you can buy both the 7 and 7se and have controllers to properly handle basically any game for less then an elite 2.
I do prefer my elite 2 for single player games though, just feels so much more nice over a long time.
#G7
I think this is the most consistent uploads you’ve done in a long time 😅
Great video dude, my xbox elite controller 2 has stuck bumpers and all kinds of issues, these cotrollers are so ass lmao. So i would love a #G7 gamesir controller.
Love your videos man!! #G7
Your videos are cool, straight to the point, nice 👍 #G7
I have a question, recently I bought a Thrustmaster e swap s pro and now I got stick drift on them, but I can't find the S2 NXG modules anywhere, so my question is, does the S5 NXG modules" which meant to be for the ESWAP X PRO" work on the Thrustmaster E swap a pro?
My elite series 1’s stick drift is starting to get unbearable along with the now mushy paddles. I’m hoping the #G7 will last a little longer.
Love that Don Frye reference 🔥😂 shout out all the MMA watcher/gamers out there I know there's a lot of us 👹👹
Nice video again, I'm still unsure what I'm going to pay. Between the G7 & SE, and yes there is a warranty of 1 year and half, but as they are based in HK, the return fees is yours BUT as the price is very low for a such great controller... Arrrrrh, tough choice.
And obviously, I particapted to the T4K giveaway so this one also, #G7, because why not, want to try them, if I don't have to pay for, better, but as I'm in EU...
Do you know anything about the Vader 3 Pro? I just got a T4K to play fps but I don’t know if I should have gotten the Vader 3 pro
As a PC gamer, the #G7 and G7 SE look great, but with the T4K costing relatively the same, I feel like the T4K is the best choice in the PC only realm, but that’s just mo. Will be getting one of them for sure
T4k had better value than these two
I own the t4k and yah this is the best controller I’ve owned ever been through most expensive battle beaver and scuf nd I’ll say this is still better due to price to performance nd I’ve owed it for about 6 months daily driver apex 4 hours a day
I wish more controllers had multiple profiles options on the controller itself like the turtle recon controller where you can switch between them on the fly, besides that this controller has hella peaked my interest #G7
Try do a review on Flydigi Vader 3 Pro Wireless Game Controller. That would be great.
Great VIds Bro cant wait for the next one. #G7
Best controller reviewer in the game. Keep doing your thing. #G7
Im currently playing Tekken 8 so i dont mind the sticks. How is the Dpad? Because i love the clicky buttons
“Is this what a GameBoy becomes?” It’s too early bro. Wasn’t ready 😂
On my GameSir G7 SE After doing some testing I find if I set the left thumbstick beyond the max 100% setting to Raw using the software app, I can better make them sharper tight Left & Right corners when I play Ride 4, it's a Cycle Bike game. If I lower it down more I just can't turn lean as far in any racing game at all.
i need that in depth hall effect vs potentiometer video
GameSir G7 SE & the app on Xbox received an update the other day. Is that the polling rate increase?
Do you know if standard xbox thumbsticks would fit on it? I really like having a taller stick but I dont like how wide kontrol freaks are. So im wondering if one of my Power A thumbstick caps would fit on.
by the way i got an elite series 2 controller and the left bumper is not responding as it supose to ,Did you know how to get those plastic little plastic that go inside the the bumpers
#G7 I have a Easysmx NS-2076 switch pro controller but the problem is, I can't use both back buttons at the same time, only one at a time. I am a m&k player and would love to venture into controllers as they are so OP in Warzone. I'm eyeing for these Gamesir controllers as they are great for the price.
Been thinking of getting a new controller, and this one looks perfect. #G7
