The BEST Budget Xbox Pro Controller Under $50! GameSir G7 Honest Review

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

[stocktonfiero]

i dont care about clicky buttons and fancy optimized enhanced poll rate hz with rgb swappable plate. all i care about is no stick drift. and im sure 80% of controller players want the same thing

Man I wish ps5 had as many controller options as xbox

[Hagop]

You post the videos at ungodly hours too (at least this one.)

[supersonicheros]

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

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!

[TheEtoneKapone]

I just bought one literally right now because your literally the only controller reviewer Id trust lol

[littlez]

VCuda you my favorite person to come to what is reliable or not and I learned a lot from you

Once again up at 4:30 am and vcuda never fails to drop a banger

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.

[arcticknighti]

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

[notjord]

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

I really appreciate the detail of this review, especially the part where you talked about the negative reviews.

[SlyNegress]

Can't wait to see that custom controller project! Like I literally can't wait, drop it now 🤬😂

[sageandlavender]

Love that Don Frye reference 🔥😂 shout out all the MMA watcher/gamers out there I know there's a lot of us 👹👹

#G7
I think this is the most consistent uploads you’ve done in a long time 😅

[voltzergeist]

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

[eclipse-ttun]

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.

[phlooke]

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)

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.
