    Great Controller for the price
    As the title states. The features included in this controller are the highlights and at this price it is unbeatable (competitor/premium prices are about 2.5x the price).
    The software app whether on Xbox or PC are easy to navigate, use, and adjust settings. Using the back button paddles take some time getting used to in terms of finger placement and actuation (I was previously using a Dualshock 4 with back button attachment) but once adjusted, they are excellent.
    The only downsides hence the 4/5 star rating are:
    – Least problematic for me: this controller does not use OEM Xbox thumbsticks which meant I could not use my XboxONE KontrolFreeks. Luckily I have PlayStation KontrolFreeks which fit perfectly.
    – The “Hair Trigger” feature is set in the software app and only changes the point of actuation (i.e., it DOES NOT make the trigger feel like a button/mouse click); isn’t too big of a deal but you need to adjust the settings to avoid stuttering in game
    – The headphone jack seems to not work along with headset microphones. When using on Xbox, plugging it in makes everything sound static and robotic (even when talking to friends on Discord, they said I sounded unclear and robotic). When you use the mute mic button on the controller, everything sounds normal but obviously can’t use the mics

    O controle excelente. Entretanto, os botes a,x,b,y so pintados o que deve apagar com o tempo e eles possuem um clique estranho bem diferente dos controles oficiais o que pode causar estranhamento.

    Genial
    El mando es genial, yo que he judago toda mi vida con mandos de play (este es mi primer mando “xbox”) se adapta perfecto a la mano es super comodo.
    Los botones traseros se siente muy comodos y con una respuesta muy buena en el juego, y para configurarlos existe una combinacion de botones, muy facil y rapida sin necesidad del software.
    En definitiva un producto muy bien construido con un funcionamiento exquisito, mis dieces, muy bien calidad precio.

    Build quality is great. Cable is braided. Has served me well so far across a bunch of games and I like just about every aspect of this thing. Triggers are smooth, sticks are grippy, bumpers are solid, and the mechanical face buttons are great too. The back buttons are in an intuitive spot, and there is nice texturing in the areas you usually want it. I even like the d-pad, which I find kinda mushy on a lot of controllers. To me it feels like it’s a bit smaller than a standard Xbox controller but I’ve gotten used to it. I just bought the SE edition (for when the sticks inevitably go on this one) which has Hall effect sticks as well as the hall triggers this controller has. The G7 is a very solid controller, especially for the price. Only things I can say are that it may be a bit small for some people, and the software can be unintuitive. For the money, this or the SE version should be your pick imo. Better than the similarly priced Turtle Beach Recon I previously owned.

    ico defeito que com fio, mas de 3 metros. Os botes, os gatilhos e a “pegada” conseguem ser melhores do que o original que veio com Xbox Series X, que durou pouco mais de um ano, que MUITO inferior ao controle do Xbox One, pois tive os dois e pude comparar.

    L'unico vero sostituto all'originale
    Ad oggi l’unico controller non microsoft xbox ad avere in dotazione la vibrazione anche ai grilletti ad una fascia di prezzo identica a quella dell’originale.
    In pi sono presenti i tasti programmabili dietro l’impugnatura (che sono 2 e non 4 rispetto ad altri non microsoft), cosa che non presente sul controller originale.
    L’unica pecca il fatto che sia solo wired, ovvero solamente via cavo.
    Tolta questa carenza, il controller definitivo su PC o come controller per un secondo giocatore su console.

    Edit: attualmente non funziona su Linux, probabilmente un problema Driver del Kernel, si attendono aggiornamenti da parte di xpad.

    Quando se trata de qualidade do material e o quo confortvel pegar e manuse-lo, esse controle apresenta uma qualidade notvel. Porm h um ponto negativo, a vibrao dos gatilhos bem diferente do que a do controle que vem junto ao xbox series s. Pode-se dizer que a vibrao dos gatilhos do gamesir g7 uma vibrao com uma frequncia maior, mas no mais fraco.

    O nico ponto negativo o fato de ser a cabo. Em contrapartida o joystick muito bom em games de luta em comparao com o joystick da Microsoft, mais leve, e possu atalhos teis de volume do headset e do game, alis, o udio fica levemente mais alto e digo que at mais gostoso com esse joystick. Ainda no testei as teclas extras, porm outro ponto positivo. Outro ponto positivo o valor em comparao ao joystick da Microsoft, daria quase para comprar 2 enquanto compraria 1 deste outro.

O design dos botes traseiros deixam ele com uma pegada perfeita pra qualquer tipo de jogo, usando eles ou no. A facilidade pra configurar os botes surpreendente. O tempo de resposta nos RT e LT quando corretamente configurados faz toda a diferena num jogo de FPS.
    Definitivamente o melhor controle que tenho, com certeza recomendo a compra.

    Well built and responsive controlle
    At 49, this is a well made and durable controller. I have used it on pc / windows only and found that it’s comfy to hold and very responsive. It’s not noisy and doesnt felt cheap. The only downside I can see people having is the wired aspect but if that doesn’t bother you then it’s great.

    Comprem sem pensar 2x. MUITO melhor do que os originais da Microsoft. Direcionais analgicos extremamente precisos e SUAVES. Botes 100% mecnicos, no existe a chance de vc apertar e falhar. Gatilhos traseiros (lb, rb, lt e rt) tambm mecnicos e muito macios. A parte traseira com grip emborrachado boa demais, no precisa ficar ajustando a pegada de tempos em tempos. Os 2 botes traseiro mapeveis ajudam DEMAIS em qualquer jogo e no atrapalham a pegada no controle. O ajuste de volume/balano do fone de ouvido muito rpido com o atalho na parte frontal, assim como o boto MUTE, vc “muta e desmuta” com apenas um clique. Sensacional, prtico demais.
    No vou nem falar da construo, acabamento, qualidade… at covardia com os outros controles. Ah, e ele ainda mais leve que o original da MS.

    Pra completar, estava previsto de eu receber entre os dias 24 e 31 de janeiro. Recebi dia 7!

    No fiquem com medo ou dvida, COMPREM pq alm de muito melhor, ainda mais barato!

    Very nice!
    First off I don’t actually have an Xbox, so I intended to use this on my pc. And so far it works perfectly. It’s very responsive and the a top quality build. The changeable faceplates is a nice touch, but I probably won’t change to the white one(just prefer the sleek black look). I haven’t played much with the customisation software, but it seems pretty easy to get along with. I would have liked a wireless controller personally by this wired one still works just as well as my wireless ps4 controller(if not better than). It feels very well made and I’m really impressed with the amount of grip from the rubberised grips, and the cable is within a neatly braided outer that looks smart and feels robus

    Quality product from GameSir!
    Unlike a lot of other wired controller brands GameSir actually makes quality products. This wired controller has solid connection to my xbox series S and PC. It has all the features I need to game properly on my console. The buttons do not feel cheap on this controller, it is well designed. The wire is a good length and the faceplates are a good addition with the product. Overall, I am happy with GameSir’s products.

    Solid PC Xbox Style Controlle
    I am at heart a console gamer, but do play a fair few PC games these days. Traditionally you would play with keyboard and mouse, but it does seem these days that a LOT of PC games are better played with a pad, so it’s nice to have one to hand.

    This obviously is based on an Xbox controller (design and look) and although wired is not something I want when playing console, for PC it’s perfect as I always sit close to the screen / machine.

    Solid controller - works great with win 10 and 11.
    Really solid little controller. Works great on pc — windows 11 in my case — connected to a surface pro 8 fine with an adapter. Doesn’t work on win 7 as described or on things like a steam deck with or without an adapter. I got this solely to use with windows 10/11 pcs so have yet to check if it would work on xbox one.

    Worth nothing that despite this being a wired controller, the connecting cable is actually detachable. This is idea if you need to replace it in the future. There’s no onboard battery, so everything is done through the cable. It is basically plug and play as in once plugged in it will follow the basic xbox controller layout. If you want to adjust this, you can download the additional custom software and that will allow you to remap keys to whatever you wish.

    At the time of writing the controller costs 45 which given xbox one controllers are about this price, is probably about right. The fact it can be used on pc is also excellent — although the same can be said of the ps4 and ps4 controllers that also work with pcs when using the correct driver.

    Overall it’s a solid controller, feels nice to use and had good clicky buttons that feel quality. The faceplates are an excellent feature and are attached with magnets making them easy to remove and replace. A nice customisation feature as well as useful if you need to clean underneath.

    Very pleased with the product.

    My son loves this controller he has been using it on his pc and since it arrived it has become his favourite. Its well made and feels great quality to.

    All the buttons respond well and he has had no issues when playing games with it.

    Overall I am very happy with this.

    Great quality using on PC
    My son is using this controller on his PC. Having tried different controllers in the past he assures me this is the best one and most responsive. Easy to set up on PC just plug and play. I didn’t expect my son to like it as its wired and he’s used to wireless on game console but he thinks its just a great controller and he’s probably using PC more now he’s got a controller he’s happy with. Feels nice and sturdy and seems well built. Overall if your after a controller for game console or PC i would definitely recommend this one.

    Gamesir and fully XBox licensed...all the best things!
    Not really someone who has used game-pads extensively more opting for keyboard and mouse but its always good to have that option, even downloaded rocket league and quake to give it a real go. The GameSir G7 is an extremely well made, quality controller if you don’t mind a wired form-factor but he supplied 3m braided USB cable should help out with that and with a 3.5mm throughput for your headphones is totally comparable to the OG controllers less the wireless functionality.
    The buttons and joysticks are really quiet, aren’t mushy at all and are very responsive.
    The software compliments the controller very well allowing for profiles and button customization’s to be easily made and is very intuitive.
    2 face plates are available in the box, one black, one white which if I read the description correctly are paint-friendly (I assume this means a textured surface) allowing you to personalize and add you own design with the correct paint type of course.
    I think for the money, this controller should serve any XBox/PC gamer well…mine will come out now and again when I am in the mood but all in all…a very impressive gaming accessory from GameSir.
    Fully recommended!

    Fantastic for PC
    I’m using this on a Windows 11 PC and it’s fantastic. I don’t have a current XBox but I do have some experience with the previous versions so I know what an official controller feels like and I’d say this is every bit as good. It’s comfortable to hold, responds instantly (as far as I can tell as an absolute casual amateur, really serious gamers might disagree!).

    The rumble effects feel good and not at all cheap. I think this is often an area where third party controllers let themselves down so this is great in my opinion.

    I’ll probably never use the paintable face plates but it’s a nice idea for someone who wants to customise their controller.

    Easy To Use and Makes For a Great Backup Device
    I have recently bought myself an Xbox series X but it’s been many years since I last gamed in any respect so I’m having to learn all over again. I ordered this as the Xbox only came with one controller so this will be useful for a second player or as a backup should the battery run low in my wireless controller.
    I would assume that for a serious gamer that this wired controller would have a faster response time that that of the wireless one and maybe thats the main consideration for buying this however I’m pretty rubbish at most games at the moment so I am just using this as my spare.
    This controller is well made and each of the triggers work very well for the control of my Xbox. Also on this unit are two memory buttons which can be programmed as shortcuts or macros for several moves together, such as lean and kneel, however I haven’t tested that side of it so far.
    Overall, this is a well built device and is a worthy contender for whatever your needs may be.
    Recommended.

    Better than the official xbox controllers
    I game on PC but originally i played xbox before switching so a good controller is essential for me and this is an excellent quality one.

    I wasn’t keen on the fact that it is wired but after using this for an afternoon it’s now my preferred controller. It kept up with pace of play without any non responce moments and responded quicker than my wireless controller.

    It is shaped slightly differently from a standard xbox controller but as a result it sits more comfortably in the hand.

    The stick, buttons, and triggers all respond wonderfully and feel like you have more controller than a standard controller. The rumble motors give good feedback without feeling like they’ll shake the thing to bits. This feels like really good quality in the hand so i can see this lasting a long time.

    They do include swappable face plates which is a brilliant idea and they are listed as paint friendly. The matterial looks slightly rough so it should allow your choice of spray paint or plastic paint to stick easily. I haven’t got round to painting it yet but i am mulling something fluorescent.

    They have included configuration software for the controller which works really well. I’ve had issues with button mapping before so this really made me happy to see. I’ve been playing valhalla and hitman and had no issues with the button mapping but it’s good to know it’s an option.

    They’ve really put a lot of effort into design and development of this controller. You will not be disappointed.

    Excellent quality, good value. Highly recommended. Thank you for reading my review. I hope you found it useful.

    Good quality premium feeling third party controller.
    I was impressed by this third party Xbox controller which is a cut above most other non Microsoft controllers out there. It even has a few features over and above the branded handsets, such as a headphone jack, for added value. It’s a wired model, so doesn’t have wireless capability, but it does come with a good quality (and very long) braided cable. The two swappable face plates in white and black are a nice touch. Although clearly designed for Xbox, it works just fine on my gaming laptop. It’s responsive with little to no latency when playing games. Overall, the price is a bit higher than most third party controllers, but it looks and feels good. I am definitely pleased with the quality.

    Good wired controlle
    This controller, which is compatible with my Xbox, is lightweight, very comfortable to hold, and easy to use. I particularly like that you can customise the behaviour of almost every key and that you can change the face plate colour from black to white.

    The USB cable is a good length and when playing, the fact that it’s a wired controller doesn’t detract from performance in any way. I have actually found it to be faster to react to my gaming than my wireless controller.

    So far I’m impressed with controller’s performance, quality and durability and think it’s great value. It’s a nice added bonus that you receive a one month free game pass with this purchase too!

    Not much to be negative about for the price poi
    With these sorts of controllers, they are inevitably cheaper than the official ones, but the quality is never quite the same. So it’s that balance of where it lies in between the two.

    This controller is a fair bit cheaper, and the quality isn’t as good, but it’s not a million miles off. It feels a little bit hollower, but some people may prefer that as it makes it feel lighter.

    It’s comfortable to hold, and rests on the palms of my hands just as an official controller would do when using it.

    The button layout is the same and they all feel decent quality. Over time they may not last as long, but that’s to be seen. The response time between pressing a button and the command reaching the console and being actioned in-game is a nano second, so there’s no difference there.

    Overall, as a cheaper alternative, there’s not that much wrong with this.

    Ideal replaceme
    I got this controller as mine had broke, I have always not been so sure on wired controllers however I really like this one, the wire is long enough to not even know it is wired. Feels like I am just holding a wireless controller. It feels very durable in my hand and good quality. Well made with a good finish.

    This controller is a massive step up from the normal xbox controller. It is way move advanced feels so much more reactive than an older controller. It has a good weight to it and is very responsive. All the buttons are really smooth and feel nice, the sticks are good and responsive feel very good quality. You can apparently also remap buttons? I won’t be doing this but if this is something you do then you can with this controller.

    It also comes with changeable faceplates which I think is a nice little touch, they are just magnetic but strong enough not to interrupt game play. Great little controller for the money really happy with it.

    Excellent wired controlle
    On a par with the official controller, and possibly even exceeds it in terms of quality and build. A pleasing weight, long USB C lead and extremely tactile response with no latency. This represents really great value for money. The audio jack is a nice addition so you can control volume on the go. Nice swappable facias too. All in all – perfect.

    Big brand performance on a budget. The G7 is seriously impressive..
    As someone that streams regularly and games competitively, I wasn’t expecting this budget-friendly G7 controller from Gamesir to pull up any trees and perform at anywhere near the level of my premium controllers. I’m happy to concede that my early assumptions on the G7 weren’t justified as this thing is very good for a budget controller and has genuinely impressed me during some vigorous testing.

    The G7 controller provides high speed and ultra-low input latency for an effortless gaming experience. With a polling rate of 265 Hz, it is a low input latency below 0.004s that enables every move to be more seamless. Using the fully customizable GameSir Nexus software allows controller profiles to be created by mapping buttons, tweaking the D-pad diagonal, adjusting stick and trigger zones, configuring the vibration level, and more. With up to 3 profiles able to be created, it is ideal for those wanting to have a unique experience for each game and allows a quick switch to Hair Trigger mode which is perfect for FPS and action games. As you can see in my video, the Nexus software is available to download in the Xbox store on console and PC and is relatively straightforward to navigate and set up.

    The G7 is crammed full of impressive features that I would expect to find in controllers at a much higher price point. With GameSir precision-tuned Hall Effect analogue triggers, the G7 delivers consistent smoothness and precision, reacting to even the slightest adjustment thanks to the pioneering Hall Effect technology, whether you need precise linear control or lightning responsiveness, the G7 performs incredibly well. Four rumble motors also create an immersive feeling when playing as 2 motors in the grips provide a strong and subtle vibration whereas the 2 motors behind the triggers provide vibration feedback to the fingertips to reflect every element of gameplay from impacts, engine revving, or driving over surfaces, etc.

    Algorithm-optimized joysticks, with 0 Fluctuation, 0 Deviation, and 0 Circularity error, deliver 360 seamless pinpoint control that makes for a refined, smooth experience that is reassuring in-game. You can even easily set 0 Deadzone and switch between Default and the exclusive “Raw” mode via the GameSir Nexus software which as you can see in my video is available to download in the Xbox store on console and PC. I primarily play on my PC and occasionally on my Series X, and I have found it to be equally responsive and just as straightforward to calibrate on either platform. Another thing I have found to be useful is the dedicated quick capture button which instantly captures game clips on the go.

    Surprisingly, the tactile yet cushioned face buttons have a 5-layer structure where microswitches deliver faster actuation with a minimized actuation distance of just 0.6 mm, around 40% less than the normal membrane controller, whilst feeling surprisingly cushioned yet crisp. The controller feels great in the hands and I would say it feels a little smaller than standard OEM controllers which for me gives a reassuring control and feel in-game.

    Designed for pro-level gaming, the G7 comes with two additional back buttons that allow on-the-fly mapping of in-game valuable actions even if in the middle of a game. This can be programmed and used instantly without software (Mappable Buttons: A/B/X/Y/LB/RB/LT/RT/L3/R3/D-pad/Menu/Xbox/View Button). The textured grips on each bumper and trigger are also non-slip to keep fingers gripped even on rapid actions as well as ensure comfort for long gaming sessions.

    Compatible with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows 10/11, the GameSir G7 provides a quality gaming experience with less latency and no low battery anxiety. Gamers can plug in their favourite headset to the built-in 3.5 mm audio jack and quickly control volume without the need for software as well as easily mute the microphone with a short press on the mic mute button. It’s all very satisfying for a “budget” controller!

    Not only a great gaming experience, but the G7 controller also looks great and comes with two swappable paint-friendly faceplates that can be customized to give you a unique controller without having to take it apart. The customization is easy and allows gamers to express themselves through not only the game and the features but also the style.

    In summary, if you’re simply looking to upgrade your existing OEM controllers or looking for improved adjustability and responsiveness, the G7 is greater than the sum of its parts and provides features and performance I would expect to pay more for. Obviously, it’s not going to have that premium build feel, but It’s a great little controller that can compete and often come out on top so it’s most definitely something I’m happy to recommend.

    Thanks for taking the time to read my review, I hope you found it helpful.

    As responsive as a branded controlle
    It comes with a really long connection lead. You can change the black front to white if you wish and it’s easy to change. I used the controller on a game that requires accuracy and it performed well. It has non slip handles and is comfortable to hold.

    Light and of very good quality
    With this controller you can create controller profiles by mapping buttons, adjusting sticks & triggers zone, configuring vibration level, etc., it comes with 2 additional back buttons so you can map your in-game valuable actions on the fly, even in the middle of the game. Program and use instantly, no need for software.
    Overall, this controller was perfect for my needs, responsive buttons, easy to use, seems good quality,,,,Highly recommended.

    Great controlle
    This remote arrived quickly and well packaged. It is a suitable substitute for the standard Xbox X controller.

    It has a very long cable with USB C connection to the controller from the front which means that it is easy to play from across the room.

    The control itself is high quality and is comfortable to hold. You can easily swap the covers, and these remove easily enough.

    It is everything you would expect from an xbox controller with some additional features as mentioned in other reviews.

    Overall I would recommend.

    Golden Review Award: 12 From Our UsersCalidad, precio y funciones "elite"
    Tras probar muchos mandos de xbox con y sin cable, puedo decir que este mando es un muy buen sustituto del mando elite de xbox, el cual tambien tengo.

    La mayoria de comparaciones las voy a hacer respecto al mando elite ya que creo que es con el que compite, y, aunque la caracteristica destacada de este mando (Gamesir G7) es que se pueden intercambiar las carcasas frontales y se pueden pintar sl gusto, creo que han fabricado un mando que sobresale en muchos aspectos a destacar.

    Los materiales de construccion son muy buenos, incluso diria que se siente mejor que el propio mando que trae la consola ( en este caso comparado con el mando que trae la series x) siendo algo inferior al elite ( en los stick metalicos y las gomas que envuelven el mando que si trae el elite) pero que al costar un tercio del precio es mas que razonable. Es un poco mas ligero que el mando estandard de xbox con el cable quitado. Con el cable se nota mas pesado, da sensacion de calidad, no es plastico chinoso.

    La funcionalidad del mando es perfecta. Los stick no tienen desdzone y son muy precisos ( y se pueden ajustar al gusto desde la app ) y se sienten un poco duros (hay que hacer un poco de fuerza para moverlos) y lo importante es que no tienen holgura sin movimiento como el mando elite.
    Los botones se sienten muy bien al tacto y una cosa en la que supera al mando elite es que los botones ABXY son microswitches, con lo que no tiene toques fantasma, doble toques, ni falla al pulsarlos.
    Esto es un problema que si que tiene el mando elite y que en este Gamesir G7 me ha sorprendido mucho que funcione mejor que en un mando de 180.

    Este mando lleva 2 botones traseros que se pueden programar sin la app, (usando una combinacion de botones) y via app. Se pueden mapear los botones que queramos en esos 2 botones y la posicion de estos es comoda y natural para pulsarlos, cosa que en el mando elite se hace un poco complicado el adaptarse al tener 4 botones traseros (palancas) mucho mas pequeos.

    Los gatillos son con sensor hall, con lo que son muy precisos, y si bien no tienen topes para recortar el recorrido fisicamente, se pueden ajustar via software desde la propia Xbox o PC, haciendo que se puedan usar en modo hair trigger ( disparo instantaneo casi con rozar el boton ) o ajustalo al gusto.

    La vibracion es totalmente adaptable, lleva la vibracion normal y la propia de xbox en los gatillos, y destacar que se pueden programar para que vibren al pulsarlos independientemente del juego, o que vibren a la vez que lo hacen los motores grandes del mando.

    Como aadido, tiene toma Jack 3.5 para auriculares y microfono y se puede ajustar el volumen y balance audio-chat desde el boton central de abajo y usando la cruceta, aadido que se agradece si se usa auriculares via cable.

    Respecto a la conexion con la consola se hace via cable usb. Trae un cable de 3 metros forrado de paracord de buena calidad, los conectores son de buena calidad tambien y el usb C que conecta con el mando encaja en un hueco para que no se salga ni se desconecte mientras juegas. La latencia es practicamente 0 al ser cableado.

    La App que se puede instalar tanto en windows como en xbox esta bien, es clara y sencilla de entender. En pc va perfecta y en Xbox no se me adapta bien al tamao de la tele pero no influye en el funcionamiento de la misma. Con la app se puede configurar todo lo descrito anteriormente (sticks, gatillos, botones traseros, vibracion, etc…)

    Como punto negativo podria decir que no es inalambrico. Entendible ya que microsoft es muy cerrado para facilitar la licencia de su conexion inalambrica a algo que no sean auriculares (y ni eso funciona bien, por experiencia propia con unos marca Razer), no hay en el mercado mandos que no traigan si propio pincho RF que le aade latencia.

    Conclusion pero por las caracteristicas que tiene y el precio lo veo mas que razonable.

    Est a la altura ( e incluso me atrevo a decir que es mejor ) que los mandos de Razer (wolverine) o los de la marca powerA.

    Si la marca sacase un modelo igual al G7 pero inalambrico creo que seria un mando redondo.

    Estoy en proceso de que la artista de mi familia pinte la carcasa frontal y actualizar con mas fotos cuando la tenga.

    I’d say it’s better than an official one I go
    Very well packaged and wrapped.
    Controller feels great quality
    It’s wired and it works perfectly.

    Better than an official wireless one, apart from it’s not wireless

    Five stars for this

    Great Little Thing
    This arrived well presented, in a box and well packaged. It is not heavy, feels sturdy and flexible, as needed. Everything works as it should and one young man will be very excited with all these accessories arriving for his Xbox.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersSome nice features over the standard Xbox controlle
    The GameSir G7 is a great alternative and improvement on the standard Xbox X controller. While its wired it does come with a very long cable with USB C connection to the controller from the front, it means no battery charge issues. The build quality is very good, it actually feels more comfortable to hold and just as easy to grip, as seen from the comparison photo the GameSir controller has a more rounded shape. The controller has a lot of upgrades over the standard Xbox X controller. The main highlighted one is of course the swappable covers, and its great these remove easily, no special tool or screwdriver to lever it off, a small indent in the top and it pulls away from the magnets. I have yet to paint a design, but this is a nice feature.

    So if face plate design is not for you what else can you get from the controller? For starters its quicker than the standard controller with a polling rate of 265hz compared with the 125hz of the xbox x one, it also has a much lower latency of 0.004s – these figures from GameSir. I expect this to be more of a benefit for serious gamers who need theta slight edge. To add to this the face buttons, have microswitches, they click like a gaming keyboard and the travel distance is short – they are very responsive and great to use.

    Other features I like include the ability to adjust the headset volume and mute from the controller – no more reaching for the inline connector on the headset. The mappable back buttons will also help in games by speeding up a process and I like these can be programmed without going into any software. A hair trigger mode is also available. On top of all this you can then adjust the set up the controller how you like in the software.

    You certainly get more for the money than the standard controller, it’s too early to tell how robust and long lasting the controller is as it’s had little use so far, I will update the review if I find any issues, but so far it feels very solid and well-built and nice to use. One big annoyance is the instructions are very basic and don’t cover everything, I had to look on the GameSir site to work out how to set up hair trigger mode. More in-depth instructions covering all the features the controller is meant to have would help.

    A good all round wired controlle
    I have to admit, I really like this controller. Whilst it might not have the freedom that a wireless controller has, as long as you’re sitting close enough to use it with your Xbox or pc, it’s a really nice controller to use.

    This has a good weight to it. Wired controllers can often be quite light due to no batteries, etc, however that’s not the case here. It feels quite sturdy and this contributes to the overall positive feel about it.

    The controller is nicely responsive. The buttons feel quite tactile and as good as an OEM controller. Likewise, the sticks are possibly better than the stock ones. The inner edges of the circles on the faceplate work well and make it comfortable to rotate the sticks.

    This has additional buttons underneath and, although I’ve not tested it yet, you can remap buttons.

    The faceplate swapping is a nice touch. I actually prefer the white one, although the black is equally as nicely finished. You can draw or paint on them, although personally I’d leave them clean and blank.

    There’s a decent braided cable included, but you can easily use any cable that suits your needs.

    Overall, I’m impressed and really like this controller. You even have a month of gamepass included, so it’s win win. I can’t definitely give this a big recommendation.
