The basic question that every up-to-date gamepad must answer: why wouldn’t I just utilize the Xbox controller? Gamesir has many convincing retorts with the up-to-date “Pro” offer. First of all, it is budget-friendly according to the pro -controller Pro standards for just 80 USD and only slightly more costly than the Xbox vanilla offer. It seems in his hand close to the weapon, he has three D-Pad configurations, removable facial plates, four additional buttons, Rumble and TMR analog sticks. To be candid, the G7 Pro is the best proof I have seen that PC players have no good reason to buy an Xbox controller in 2025, while proving that the Pro function is no longer the exclusive province of luxury $ 200 USD.
Honest enough if you haven’t heard of TMR before, because currently Zeitgeist technology in analog sticks is the effect of Hall. For the first time in the 90s of the SEGA controllers, the Hall effect was rewritten because of the renowned drift resistance, and they can be found in budget controllers I Pro (though not from such as Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo).
TMR – or magneto -rolling tuning – previously appeared on Gamesir Pads, and also begin to appear in controllers such as ASUS and 8bitdo. The GIST is that poles using TMR technology are more precise with smaller dead zones and have a lower power draw, which is why they theoretically allow a slight battery life. And, just like sticks with hall effects, they lack the constant friction of sticks based on a potentiometer, which means that they should never drift.
For most people, the difference between TMR and Hall Effect sticks will be irrelevant, but in the case of ultra-enthusias and ultra-pedantic competitive players, the more advanced technology is pleasant.
Gameir G7 Pro Specifications
Elsewhere, the G7 PRO trigger buttons can boast of the Hall-what effect technology is great, because they are always the second thing that can be died on the Xbox controller-and brilliantly clickable touch switches on the face buttons and D-PAD. Clicking seems to annoy some people, but as an ordinary player of precise platforms, for example, one of the things I loved in Ultra Ultra Turtle Beach.
While the G7 Pro has only two rear rowing buttons, in which most other Pro controllers have four, it compensates, adding two bumpers of the claw handle approximately between the standard bumper and the trigger buttons. If you ask me, hitting these buttons is easier than using my cordial finger to switch between two sets of oar buttons at the back, and for example they make sense when squatting or overloading in FPS. What’s more, they share a clickable touch of the face buttons.
In addition to other compulsory PRO functions, such as triggering stops, G7 Pro has more groundbreaking accents. It has the built -in functionality of the gyroscope on the PC (though not on Xbox), which is scarce in the case of an anti -drift controller, thanks to which the G7 Pro is very attractive if a) are terrified of the famed compact period of the DualSense and b life vitality and b) wants a system similar to Xbox with better compilation quality than the switch controller. His face plate and handles can be easily removed by revealing a limpid housing underneath, although this also theoretically means theoretically highly configurable. Removal of the front plate also allows the conversion between the three included D-Pads. I tested a soften red model, but G7 Pro is also white.
The rear oar buttons can be turned off, and when they are turned off, they do not shake or press at all – they turn into a stationary middle finger. Next to the headphone jack, there is a mute button and a switch button between PC, Xbox and Android: PC supports wired and wireless, while Xbox supports only wired. You need to utilize Bluetooth on Android. This mode button also switches between four on -board profile after holding in combination with the face button. What’s more, the G7 Pro is equipped with a charging dock and battery life for about ten hours (I charged it once in two weeks of utilize).
With all these functions, it is worth repeating that this controller is 80 USD. Razer Wolverine V3 Pro Wireless costs $ 200 and although yes, it has two additional buttons at the back, which almost does not justify an additional USD 130 (at least not more). The recent scuf Valor Pro costs 100 USD and is great, but it is connected. I mean: Gamesir G7 Pro is a brilliant Pro controller that costs only $ 20 more than a standard Xbox controller. It really seems to be a breakthrough if you can expect for less than a hundred bucks.
Buy if …
✅ You want a high -quality Pro controller for less than $ 100: This gamepad offers amazing value, to the extent that you don’t really have to compromise when it comes to getting a PRO function cheaply.
Don’t buy if …
❌ You want four rear oar buttons: The G7 Pro selects two rear rowing buttons and two claws’ grip triggers – you can bind four at the back.
❌ You want RGB: While the G7 Pro is a good -looking gamepad, there is no RGB theatricality.
With this in mind, it is worth mentioning G7 Pro things NO To have. Apart from the two rear buttons, the oar is not much to mention that moved to the controller. It is undeniably bulky compared to the competition at 272 grams, although this contributes to its solid feeling in the hand. Unlike other gamepad, Nubs cannot be removed and replaced, at least not effortless or through the project. Oh, and there is no RGB here, not because I personally miss it.
If there is one thing that I don’t really like in G7 Pro, then Nexus software is almost necessary to unlock the best functions of the model. I know that reviewers are often bodied with peripheral software, but I think it is annoying that you need it to switch the controller of the controller from the default 500 Hz to 1000 Hz and that its gyroscope functionalities cannot be enabled until you get access to Nexus. It is possible that you can utilize this software once, set four profiles depending on four different cases of utilize, and then never gain access to it again. It is far from breaking the contract and more irritation.
It is fun to think that this time ten years ago the gamepad with decent quality of third parties was scarce. In the last decade, the arms race in terms of functions and durability, and PC players enjoyed the fruits of this conflict at every stage. G7 PRO seems to be the culmination of this crazy rush: it packs almost every significant pro function of Pro in an 80 $ set that improves many more costly competitors.
