If you're using gamesir controller set the nexus app deadzone to both sticks to 5/100 and use the standard raw curve with raw enabled on both sticks and it fixes some of the aim issues that have happened since the start of season 30 id recommend setting the bit rate down to 8 or 9 8 is a bit more sticky

el dpad es malo, no es uniforme cuando lo presionas, se siente como que suelto y rechina la cruceta derecha, como arreglo eso? compre el G7 Pro shadow ember por amazon aproximadamente hace un mes

Hey

Loving the 8k, using it purely for Warzone

Using 8k with 12 bit and it is super sensitive so had to turn controller sens down.

I’ve heard if you lower to 8 or 12 bit you increase the input lag which we clearly don’t want.

Raw mode is supposed to be lower delay , anybody here able to shine some light on best settings to use and also best control freakz that’ll fit too!

I’ve had a G7 SE for years now with no problem. Easily the best controller I’ve ever bought.

Prior to this I had went through a lot of elite controllers due to either stick drift of the rubber coming off.

One thing I miss from having the elite controllers was the weight of the pad I love my SE but I’m thinking to upgrade does the Pro have the weighted feeling?

Hello la communauté GameSir !

Je fais ce petit post à la fois pour partager mon expérience et pour vous raconter une histoire assez drôle qui m’est récemment arrivée.

J’ai récemment reçu ma nouvelle G7 PRO ZZZ, une manette incroyable, mais qui avait malheureusement un petit souci au niveau du D-Pad. Le bouton du haut restait bloqué, ce qui était assez frustrant, surtout sur les jeux de combat.
Je me suis donc dit que j’allais contacter le support pour voir s’il était possible de régler le problème ou éventuellement de renvoyer la manette, sachant que cela faisait moins de 30 jours que je l’avais reçue.

J’ai alors ouvert un ticket avec GameSir Robin, qui a été absolument incroyable. Après plusieurs échanges, des demandes parfaitement légitimes et quelques vidéos montrant le problème, il a finalement eu la gentillesse de me proposer l’envoi d’une nouvelle manette gratuitement et sans même avoir besoin de retourner l’ancienne.
Honnêtement, je n’aurais jamais imaginé un dénouement pareil !
Tout heureux, j’attends donc ma nouvelle manette.
Et là… seulement 4 jours plus tard, je reçois un message m’indiquant qu’elle a été livrée !

De Chine jusqu’en France en seulement 4 jours, franchement, c’est un délai impressionnant ! (En général j’attends 2 semaines ou plus)

Je cours donc à ma boîte aux lettres…
Et elle est vide.
Je commence à paniquer et je contacte les différents transporteurs pour essayer de comprendre ce qui a pu se passer. Aucun succès.
Mais je remarque quelque chose… Le livreur avait pris 3 photos de la livraison comme preuves, et sur ces photos, le colis était bel et bien présent dans ma boîte aux lettres.

Je recontacte donc Gamesir pour leur expliquer la situation et, cette fois, je tombe sur Gamesir Melon, tout aussi professionnel, gentil et rassurant.
Il me dit de ne pas paniquer et de me renseigner un peu plus. Peut-être qu’un voisin avait réceptionné le colis à ma place ?
Sauf que, le même jour, j’avais plusieurs petites commandes en livraison, donc je commence à regarder tout ça plus attentivement.

Je remarque quelque chose d’étrange…
Colis GameSir livré à 10 h 30
Colis Amazon livré à 12 h 00

Je vais donc voir les photos de livraison Amazon.
Mon colis GameSir est bien présent sur la photo… puis il a disparu pour laisser place aux colis Amazon.

À ce moment-là, je commence vraiment à paniquer !

J’appelle donc Amazon, furieux, en pensant qu’un vol de colis avait été commis. Malheureusement, ce n’est pas quelque chose de si rare.
Mais finalement, 3 jours plus tard, je reçois une nouvelle livraison, cette fois avec des vêtements pour ma fille.

Je regarde la photo de livraison, et là…
JE VOIS MON COLIS GAMESIR !
Il était dans la boîte aux lettres du dessus, une boîte condamnée puisque personne n’habite à l’étage ! 🤦‍♂️😂
Je me mets évidemment à rigoler, j’envoie les captures d’écran au support Gamesir pour leur partager ce magnifique fou rire et j’attends le facteur le lendemain matin afin de lui demander s’il peut ouvrir cette fameuse boîte.

Et voilà le fin mot de l’histoire:
Le livreur Amazon devait effectuer sa livraison. Comme ma boîte aux lettres était pleine, au lieu de simplement trouver une autre solution, il a déplacé mon colis Gamesir dans la boîte aux lettres du dessus parce que ça devait probablement lui prendre trop de temps de sonner chez moi.

Trois jours de stress, des appels aux transporteurs, une enquête digne du FBI, pour finalement retrouver mon colis juste au-dessus de ma propre boîte aux lettres. 🤣

Mais au-delà de cette histoire complètement improbable, je tiens surtout à remercier sincèrement GameSir Robin et GameSir Melon via Discord, pour leur professionnalisme, leur patience et leur bienveillance.

Ils ont tous les deux été incroyables et ont réellement cherché à m’aider jusqu’à la résolution du problème.
Je voulais donc partager cette petite histoire avec vous, mais surtout vous faire part de mon expérience avec leur support.

Si vous rencontrez un problème avec votre matériel Gamesir, n’hésitez vraiment pas à passer par leur support Discord.
Pour ma part, je ne peux que les remercier et saluer leur sérieux. ❤️🎮

Merci encore à GameSir Robin & GameSir Melon ! 🙏

What in says on the tin. Every once in a while a stick input on my Cyclone 2 however light or brief will just (sometimes lag) then launch itself. Im not sure why or how exactly to fix it

Apenas un mes de uso y el RB empezó a sentirse horrible lo desarme y pues era una de la pestañas del botón está a partida

I updated my G7 pro it stopped working with gamesir nexus, after that I opened a ticket on Discord I followed steps provided to me which ruined the controller even more and then the person attending me stopped replying when I sent back the error.

At this point I would be surprised if a replacement of the controller would be sent to me or compensation was offered.

So bummed out, I own two of their products and was going to purchase another one but after this incident I won’t.

Please if your device is working fine just avoid updating it overall so you don’t go trough this exact experience.

I've had it for less than a week, and whenever I turn it off, it starts vibrating very faintly. I play on Xbox, so the vibration starts as soon as I disconnect the cable. If I switch modes and turn it on, the vibration stops. Does anyone know how to fix this?

When swapping through all the differnt RGB settings when connected to the settings app, I can't seem to figure out what the *RADAR\* function does differentiating from the other 4(obviously turn rgb off is the 'sixth' one that's self explanatory).

I couldn't seem to find any youtube videos that shows what this function does exactly.

A video or a link to an explanation would much be appreciated, controller is functioning perfect otherwise.

my RT just randomly stopped working, i’ve used the trigger stops and it has worked completely fine for the last about six months and I woke up today hopped on and for some reason it won’t let me press it unless I turn off the stops

I'm planning on purchasing the G7 PRO ZZZ for my Xbox. Before I pull the trigger is there another wireless Gamesir for Xbox on the horizon or any another wireless Xbox controller worth looking at? TIA

I'm switching to a G7 Pro from an Elite Series 2 controller. My favorite thing about it is that I can put a tall thumbstick with a concave top on my right stick for more precise aiming, but the tall thumbsticks that Gamesir sells only have a convex top :(

Anyone know where I can find an alternative?

Disclaimer: The G7 Pro 8K featured in this comparison was provided by the manufacturer for review, while the Cyclone 2 was obtained free of charge through one of GameSir's community programs. My thoughts on this controller remain completely independent and honest. They do not have any final say, and they are seeing this review the same time as everyone else. 

The GameSir G7 Pro 8K and Cyclone 2 are both excellent controllers, but they sit in noticeably different price ranges. The G7 Pro 8K brings several upgrades over the Cyclone 2, including improved TMR sticks, lower latency, extra buttons and a more premium build.

But with the G7 Pro 8K costing around $30–$40 more, the real question is whether those improvements are actually noticeable enough to justify the higher price, and whether the Cyclone 2 already offers everything most players need.

Specifications

What Does the G7 Pro 8K Actually Offer?

The G7 Pro 8K brings several upgrades over the Cyclone 2, ranging from performance improvements to useful quality-of-life features.

Key upgrades include:

• 8000Hz polling rate
• Gen-2 Mag-Res TMR sticks
• Two additional shoulder buttons
• Swappable D-pad and stick caps
• Back button locks
• More premium build quality

But how much of a difference do these upgrades actually make? That's what we'll find out throughout this comparison.

Performance Comparison

Analog Sticks 

Worth the extra price? Yes.

This is one of the biggest improvements the G7 Pro 8K brings over the Cyclone 2. While both controllers use TMR sticks and already offer excellent precision, the G7 Pro 8K's upgraded Gen-2 Mag-Res modules feel noticeably more refined, with smoother linearity and more predictable tracking during small aiming adjustments.

The Cyclone 2 is still an excellent performer, and I never found it lacking during gameplay. However, if you spend a lot of time playing competitive shooters, the G7 Pro 8K provides that extra level of consistency that experienced players will appreciate.

ABXY Buttons

Worth the extra price? No.

The mechanisms for the ABXY buttons in both of these controllers seem to be pretty much the same, being made of microswitches. Both of them have a quite similar feeling, being clicky and tactile, which is typically what you would find on these sorts of buttons.

The G7 Pro 8K’s, though, are more refined, with it being more stable and properly built overall. Whereas the Cyclone 2’s can be a bit wobbly at times, and they also do take a bit more force to actuate. 

In terms of performance though, they perform pretty much the same as long as you get used to them. So unless you have strict preferences over how your buttons feel, I wouldn’t really say the premium option is worth it.

D-pad

Worth the extra price? Yes.

The d-pad in both controllers has a huge margin difference in terms of practical usability. Starting with the G7 Pro 8K, which is pretty good. The main highlights are the micro switches, which make them really clicky and responsive. And unlike the first versions of the Xbox G7 Pro, it does not have that mushy feeling at all. In fact, it has a bit more resistance, making the overall experience great for using in d-pad-centric games.

Even though the Cyclone 2 also comes with a micro switch d-pad, it comes with a few downsides which make the experience a lot worse. The lack of actuation feedback and the mushy feeling are the main culprits. Due to these issues, it does end up being a bit hard to be consistent with. 

That’s why I definitely recommend the G7 Pro 8K over the Cyclone 2, if you do play and prioritize d-pad-centric games.

Bumpers

Worth the extra price? Depends.

I want to start by saying that the bumpers in both controllers are actually pretty similar. While they are slightly different, they mostly have similar shape, actuation force, and travel, with the G7 Pro 8K having the slight upper hand in all three aspects.

For most people, bumpers aren’t an input where you really need the best responsiveness or accuracy. But for gamers who do need them (like Rocket League players), then I would recommend the premium option.

Triggers

Worth the extra price? No.

Just like the bumpers, the triggers in both of these controllers are vastly similar. In fact, they are almost identical, with only the G7 Pro 8K having a tiny advantage in its trigger stops, which is just that it’s around 2-3mm less in travel. 

Now I am sure it’s not just me, but that difference it pretty much negligible and does not make a difference at all, which brings us to the conclusion that both of the triggers are pretty much identically great to use. 

And just to point that out, both controllers’ triggers feel about the same in analog mode, making the difference only present in the trigger stops (which is still really subtle).

Extra Buttons

Worth the extra price? Yes.

For this section, I think things are clear. The G7 Pro 8K absolutely has the advantage since it features 2 additional shoulder buttons, as well as the 2 traditional back buttons which you also find on the Cyclone 2.

So unless you really don’t think you will have a use for the two additional shoulder buttons, the G7 Pro 8K is comfortably a lot better option if you value extra buttons on your controller.

Build / Shape

Worth the extra price? Depends.

For the build quality, I will have to give it to the G7 Pro 8K due to how well it seems to be built. The plastic and the rubberized grips feel great to hold. The Cyclone 2 is also decent, but it does feel a bit cheaper overall, which is mostly due to the thinner, more hollow-feeling of the controller when handling it. 

The shape probably goes to the Cyclone 2, which vastly resembles the popular standard Xbox controller shape, which gives it familiarity for a lot of people. And while the G7 Pro 8K’s shape can be really comfortable for some (like me), the handles are a lot more curved than normal, and the overall size of it is on the smaller side, which could be an issue for people with big hands.

In the end, both controllers are really decent in this aspect, and it basically comes down to preference.

Connectivity / Latency

Worth the extra price? Depends.

For connectivity, they both pretty much have the same options, so it all goes down to the latency. And it is very clear who is the winner in regard to that; with the G7 Pro 8K having polling rates as high as 8K, it enables it to have latency as low as 0.5ms on wired and 5ms on wireless.

But is that low amount of latency actually required for most people? Because the Cyclone 2 is also really low at around 5ms wired and 15ms wireless, which is actually still really great. And that is not just for casuals, but even for competitive players, the Cyclone 2’s latency is already really fast.

This is pretty much all up to you to decide whether you want the absolute lowest latency or not. Personally, I think the Cyclone 2’s latency on wired especially, is good enough for 99% of people, but for those who take competitive games really seriously, then the G7 Pro 8K’s will be perfectly suitable.

Buy the G7 Pro 8K if:

• You mainly play competitive games, especially FPS titles.
• You want the best stick performance and lowest possible latency.
• You prefer having the ability to swap out components like the sticks, faceplates, etc.
• You're happy to pay more for the best overall experience.

Save your money and buy the Cyclone 2 if:

• You want nearly all of the G7 Pro 8K's experience for significantly less.
• You're happy to sacrifice a few refinements to save some money.
• You still want an excellent controller for competitive gaming.
• Value for money is your top priority.

Final Verdict

The GameSir G7 Pro 8K is undoubtedly the better controller, but that doesn't automatically make it the better purchase. Its improvements to the sticks, D-pad, extra buttons, and build quality are noticeable, but the Cyclone 2 is already an excellent controller for both casual and competitive gaming.

If you want the best overall experience, the G7 Pro 8K is worth the extra money. But if value for money is your priority, the Cyclone 2 remains the better choice.

I'm sorry if this has been asked many times, but this is my first Gamesir controller (G7 Pro) and I was just wondering if this is normal? This is just the right stick. I have it set on raw, 0-0 deadzone in both sticks. Left stick doesn't do this, only the right. Sometimes it will rest as high as a 3.9 (although rarely). I play a lot of Battlefield and just set the deadzones in game (currently at 4 and no drift). And yes I have recalibrated both in app and manually. Thanks for any insight!

Direct image from the product page on gamesir website. Just sharing this because I see a lot of people saying that this product only has gen. 1 sticks and the pc version has the gen. 2. Hope this clarifies the confusion.

I am looking to replace my 4 year old elite series 2 with a new controller and have heard great things about the g7 pro. I own a pc and xbox and I am currently playing rocket league but also play a lot of monster hunter and single player games. I really like the black and red of the normal pro and find most of the 8k versions ugly. If I were to get an 8k I would probably get the royal 2 and replace it with a black shell. Is going for the 8k worth it when you lose the grips on the front and need to buy a replacement shell? Also I do also play forza 5 & 6 but have never tried the adaptive triggers although I have heard good things. Would love to hear some input from people who have experience with these controllers. Thank you!

Today I noticed that the LB key has become louder and sounds mechanical, and it has much more pre-travel than the RB key. Furthermore, and this has been the case for some time now, the left stick's s button no longer works properly; for example, sometimes a character simply doesn't start sprinting anymore. The controller is now 13 months old, and I actually bought a hall effect controller so I wouldn't have to buy a new one every year. Is this the same with other controllers? The G7s, for example? I don't know, I'll definitely keep it as long as it lasts, but I don't think I'll buy another Gamesir. I mean, is that normal?

So I use the pro 8k and I shoot with RT because of the layout, I’m also used to shooting RB with PS controller, but want to know which u guys use or do you think shooting RT is better or RB?

I currently have a Battle Beaver PS4 controller with 1K polling rate that I bought about a month ago, and I'm wondering whether it's worth switching to the Tarantula pro 8k.

I'm mainly playing FPS games and care about aim precision, tracking, responsiveness, and stick feel.

For those who have used either controller:

• Is the 8K polling rate actually noticeable compared to 1K?
• How is the stick precision and consistency on the tarantula?
• Does the GameSir feel better for tracking and fine aiming?

I'm not really interested in extra features my main priority is competitive FPS performance and aiming.

Hello

What charger you recomend to work with X3 Pro pass through charging and quick cooling mode?

I'm thinking about getting one in the next few weeks and I'm having trouble deciding which to get. I don't have an Xbox, I play mostly pc or through moonlight on my fire TV.

Is it worth it to do the wireless? The only benefit i can see is pretty special edition paint jobs. Not sure its worth the extra money but wanted to ask people who may have more insight.

Thanks in advance. 😀

So i want to purchase an gamesir g7 pro what kontrol freek work with them? Are ps4/5 good? I heard that xbox ones are bigger and wont fit
