The gamesir g7 was already my number 1 budget xbox controller and now that you can overclock it and directly from the app it's even better. Kudos to gamesir

i like the recent follow up videos you drop for the controllers, keep up the good work kevin!

My daughter has been using the G7 SE for two months and it works great. I bought after watching your video. She has always had problem with stick drift on most Xbox controllers but not now. Thanks for the great detailed reviews.

After watching this and reading comments, my g7 will be here today sometime when i wake up. Thanks for the review, i appreciate the time spent to help us all out.

G7 SE owner, didnt like it at first because all my inputs wouldn’t register on my fps games. After a few updates it’s now my go to controller for my pc, now with 1000hz even better. I recommend!

If you’re still taking requests, I would love to hear you comment on the stick tension of future controllers whether that be measuring with a device or just a simple comment of being less/more than it’s stock system I just feel that it’s often overlooked and I love your content

As a competitive rocket league player I switched to the g7 se and I absolutely love it. Actually just perfect for me

can't believe i'm actually enjoying controller review videos

Picked one up and put the Gambit down. Only Con I’ve got is the lack of 4 back paddles. Everything else is on the tits. Hoping the “experimental” overclock will engage the headset port for audio. Thanks for your dedicated work

Thank you, iam the guy with damaged left thumb who has been replacing his controller every 3 to 4 months because they develope stick stick/drift. Purchased my SE the day after your first review, started using it maybe about a month later. Happy to share iam still using it today and performing as good as the first day. To me this an amazing controller and has been used for maybe around 60 hours a week(destiny 2 player) at least. Happy, happy gamer... "👍"...

Bro TY so much couldn’t figure out how to get past 500hz but this fixed it for me! Sitting at 1075hz with 107% stability, this man is the goat.

I bought this and the Kaleid via The Controller Captain's reviews. I am not disappointed. The G7 works great, and does live up to the reviews. Thank you for the follow-up reviews, and your attention to detail.

I bought a T4 Kaleid thanks to your review. Best joystick I ever owned (I have Dualsense, DS4 and a Switch pro controller) Thank you for your hard work.

Best controller channel. I'm so glad I found you.

Many thanks for this update and overclock guide. Much appreciated.

I've had a G7 SE (post update) and can comfortably say i really like this controller. Its lightweight and very comfortable. I dont however use the back buttons as I am stubborn to try and learn how NOT to leverage the controller in the area where those buttons sit (i accidentally press them all the time when unlocked im just not a fan) that being said I can confidently say this controller, thanks to the cable length, has fallen on the ground a couple times. One I had fell directly on the thumbs tick and killed the controller. Another one had a severed wire on the RT and killed the trigger. Essentially these things are cheap controllers but I think the hall effect module is especially light in its loafers and can break very easily. I dont know if thats poor design or cheaping out on parts, or if its just the nature of hall effect vs physical contact type touch points. My only qualms are the d-pad is spongey. Not a fan I wish it was an Xbox dish shape. And the 4-buttons aren't terrible but we all know we want microswitches. Last thing is the Xbox button. Idk if its the membrane but if I press it to quickly adjust volume on music, or ill jump into nexus quickly, or close certain applications, it will long press. Sending me to the ""What do you want to do?" Xbox power screen. Almost as if its sticking. This isn't a use thing. This is just the nature of the membrane I think. Id like a more positive press on the Xbox button cause it feels vague and unconvincing. Im pretty much guessing what the button requires for input

The overclock box is not available on the Nexus App on the Xbox. Any fixes to this with only a Mac?

Mine seems to be hard stuck on 500 hz unfortunately. I can select 1000hz but input test shows 500hz. Could be because im on windows 10. I've tried several methods of installing the script and still no luck.

I got the SE. liking it so far. Just updated the polling to 1k. Thanks.

The g7 Se is my favorite controller that I own right now and I have had a ton of controllers over the years. The only thing I don't like about this controller is the back buttons tend to squeak after a bit. The first one I sent back for return was squeaking so loud I could hear it while I had my headset on but the second one, while it does squeak I can't hear it with the headset on so at least that is okay. I am glad I got this controller though I was torn on this one or the t4 kaleid but decided to get the SE cause its more like a normal controller with membrane buttons. I use the controller on 250hz for now, I did test the 500hz out which it was great. I went back to 250 though cause I didn't know if they were going to remove the option to OC it again. But it seems like its finally here to stay so I will probably switch to 1000hz at some point since I am a little sweaty gamer.

I have a Gamesir G7 all black, love it.

You all need to install series x sticks with your g7, it makes a difference.

GameSir has been promoting the G7 SE as being capable of 1000Hz without warning that was not a finalized feature for months now, which is not cool. If you want your G7 triggers dead then, by all means, overclock it. As for me, because I had 2 GameSir pads to break on me already (G7 SE and T4 Kaleid), after setting to 1000Hz. The problem was the same: Triggers gone. Keep in mind, the triggers can break right after the setting or in the days soon after; it's not always instantaneous and can occur in one of the triggers only. So, BEWARE. Fortunatelly, GameSir's warranty is stellar and they replaced the G7 SE and refunded the T4. I am sure it were the high return rates that forced GameSir to acknowledge the issue. Not touching 1000Hz until it leaves the BETA stage -- they don't pay me to Beta test their pads so, there's that too.

I was getting constant double button presses on Xbox while using G7 with 1000hz. I reduced it to 500hz and the problem mostly disappeared, only occasional double press now. I hope that they can solve this issue later with software update.

good vid, got one today as my oem xsx controller decided to go sayonarra, lets see how long this puupy lasts. if i can get atleast 1 year out of it then im happy.

Thank you sir, I will subscribe 250hz vs 1000hz like night and day

Saw a video about Gamesir removing 1000hz feature on Xbox request but leaving it on for PC. Can you confirm please? Said to come with a recent update.

Thanks for covering the G7 SE Kev! Great content!

Got the gamesir SE and regular. 500hz and 1000hz feels nice. I play on Xbox and they feel fast. Looking forward to how they test when they’re actually connected to the Xbox

Hi, Can you do a deep dive into the difference in input lag for USB3 vs USB c and maybe with a dongle from a KKMax 3 on usb-c as I feel differnce

this and the 8bit do are the best bang for your buck controller with paddles, the button for the paddles are extremly ergonomic and feels simingless when you press them.

I have had my G7 se since Oct and now with the 1000hrtz overclock + using it in raw mode, boyyy...is there a difference now in my preferred driving game, PC1. Quick input, with smoothness and precision. 😮 Out of the controllers I have, my rankings: 1) G7 se 2) T4 Kalied 3) Wolverine Chroma v2 4) Nacon revolution X 5) Gulikit King Kong Pro2 6) Elite Series 2

@gamerheaven i bought two of these controllers. let me tell you this the 1000MHZ overclock gets you nothing but issues stay on a max of 500 the triggers dont fully zero on 1000 nor do the sticks and games get mis clicks allot stay on 500 and this controller is amazing 2ms speed at 1000 u get 0.5ms but what's the use

i'm using 8bitdo UB (250hz with 2.4ghz dongle) and Gamesir T4K (wired 1000hz) and i dont feel the diffirence, the most reason for controller delay is fps ( refesh rate ) at 60fps u gonna feel your right stick delay much more than 120fps.

This polling rate is beneficial if your on a 1ms or slightly slower monitor but a standard Roku or tvs in the industry have 16 to 32ms latency anyways so you’ll kinda see a difference, but… it’s best on pc with a fast monitor. My solo kills in fortnight improved dramatically

Since the update its my new fav controller for xbox and pc

i have a gamesir G7 se and i love it never had problems with it

Been wanting one of these G7s. Now I want one even more. As an audio engineer Apple convert, the only PC in the house is a Win10pro i7-3770/16gb ram/GTX 750ti 2gb/1tb Crucial SSD tho. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ House consoles: Xbox Series s w/ stock controller hooked up to a 24" Pixio 144Hz 1080p E-sports IPS monitor SSD upgraded PS4 Pro w/ PSVR & all it's controller dibbly-do-dads (Move/racing wheel/HOTAS/Aim) Xbox One S w/ stockly control floppity doos Xbox 360 E w/ depressingly last leg glue factory horse condition derpitty floppies Two xExecuterx mod chipped original Xboxes w/... "needs repair" signs on both. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ So what I'm gathering? 500Hz is as far as I could overclock with a Win10 poopy toppy desky pooter? I also play e-drums and guitar using plugins, and on that side of the universe? 3ms is the dealbreaker mark IMO. That said? The input lag of 500Hz? Should be a dramatic improvement tho? Anyhoo... Freakin' love the channel dude! Also, thank you for your military service doggins! Cheers!

Heads up scuf instinct sticks also fit on the g7 se

That 1000hz script actually worked on my gambit also, it’s showing 1000hz and getting less than a 1ms delay in xinput. I own the OG G7 and the T4 Kaleid they’re decent controllers i just don’t care for the loose stick tension compared to the gambit which has tighter stick.

Overclockable? Hall effect joysticks? 40 bucks? I'll try it. If this thing feels better than my 300 dollar custom Hypr controller I'm gonna...

Hi how do u get this to work if u don’t have a pc to download the script but u have an Xbox?

I have both G7 and G7E, love them both but would like to see a slightly more premium material version released. The sticks sorta creak at times.

I would watch a Stallion’s podcast for his opinions

Hello! I want to buy a new controller for For Honor and fps shooter games like Rainbow Six but i dont know which is the better. The Victrix gambit or the Gamesir G7 Se? Helpful video btw 😄

I tested the kk3 max with this GPDL arduino device. Wireless is poo poo yes it has 1000hz polling rate but delay is 33ms 😢 . Wired its 3ms , bluetooth was 32ms . Great little device

I love my GameSir G7SE now i just want Hall Effect sticks and the ability to run 1000Hz on my Duelsense Edge!

I have had the G7 for about 4 months now on Xbox and I thought it improved everything on the controller

I personally prefer the Turtle Beach Recon maybe because its bigger.

I've had this controller since launch. I've an issue with the left stick. There's a big groove on the north side of the stick from rubbing against the friction rings

the Gamesir T4K doesnt have that warning

I've had this for PC for a a couple months. It has given me the option to change the polling rate since I first plugged it in. I just can't get the rumbles to work. They work when I change a profile on the fly, but not in-game or even in the software to test them.

Can you do updates and change settings from the xbox app? Asking because to my understanding they don't have a MacOS app (which is all I have)

I own both the g7 and g7 se and hopefully when gamesir drop the kaleid for xbox i can complete the trilogy and my oh my what a "van damme" triple threat it will be. I too am a fan of the big bro g7 over little bro g7 se. Great controllers that punch up! Thanks for all the great content controller captain. 🤜🤛

I wish the center buttons were in the center!

what program are you using for testing polling rate?

so it is not possible to get 1000hz on win 10?

anyone feel like the joysticks are just a tad off? i feel like there may be a bit more tension or friction? i am coming from a power A fusion, which i liked, but they break down quick and feel cheap. Only reason i liked it was because there was less imput out of the box. it just felt more snappy. The G7 even on 1000 hz feels a bit less snappy and im trying to figure it out. not sure if the sticks are tighter bound and i just have to get used to it? overall, the buttons all feel amazing and even the size feels better in hand. any help on the sticks would be appreciated. thanks!

i just received my g7 se today and installed the software per your overclocking tutorial to check the pull rate and both the 500hz setting and the 1000hz setting in the nexus app are putting me at a 500hz pull rate according to the Xinput application. any idea why i might not be getting the full 1000?

What is one of the best wireless Xbox type controllers that has the lowest input lag? I do like the G7 SE but I find the back buttons too easy to actuate accidentally and would really like to have a fast wireless Xbox controller.

Is the Nexus app PC only? As on the website it links you to the Microsoft store saying “download for PC/Xbox” and when I click it, it’s a blank page. Confused

11:00 I think overclocking for controller it effect the way you talk 1 milisecond for few sentences 😂 But I like the details you provide👍

Hey, I have a question. Does the Flydigi Vader 3 Pro and Scuf Envision have software for macros and if so, which would you recommend? I have hard stuck between the two.

So is it me or this update doesnt work for Xbox console it only works on pc because i do not get the 500hz or 1000hz icon on the gamsir app on my xbox dashboard.

I just saw on Facebook marketplace that someone has an Alienware listed. Not sure if that’s you or not, thought I should give you a heads up. But At 7:59 I swapped the buttons and sticks from the Lunar Shift to my Robotic white.

I wish xbox Elite series 2 could get over clocked 😭😭😭 and had less input delay cuz Elite 2 has more input delay on new gen consoles

God I want gamesir to come out with a deluxe controller soon

when i calibrate and press down the right trigger three times it doesn’t do anything like it doesn’t work

Is the 1000hz OC also available to the normal G7 (not the G7 SE) in this version? Im currently torn between the normal G7 & G7 SE. Is the G7 SE the only one with the hall-effect joysticks out of the two?

I know this video is quite old now, but if you don't have a PC how do you change the polling rate? Was gifted this controller and I want to take it at least to 500hz.

Weird.. I’m on windows 10 and have 1000hz enabled. My results show under 1ms on xinput BUT my average ranges from 1.8 ms to 3.8 ms and polling rate ranges from 100-500. So am I actually getting under 1ms? Or is it just glitched?

So I have the T4K (Another One!) that I overclocked on pc for the 1000 hz. If I take it over to the Steam Deck then the polling rate is no longer unlocked and back to the 250 hz? Also, really like it, but the A button regularly sends two inputs for 1 press. That's a bummer.

Just a easy question but I'm curious on what kontrol freaks fit on the G7?

ok wrong video for this but every time i hook up my ps4 controller it connects to my pc but it wont turn on. please help

just ordered it im waiting on it

See there you go again. Made me fall even more ❤

Hey man! I have the GameSir G7 SE and I use it on Xbox. I overclocked to 1000Hz on PC and ran the software and it's working perfectly there. But when I plug it into my Xbox I get the error: " Please use the PC to switch the report rate to 250Hz". The controller still works with this error, but I don't actually know if I'm getting 1000Hz. I only use it to play MLB the Show - and it's just very tough for me to tell if there's a difference between when it was set to 250Hz vs 1000Hz. Any suggestions for testing it on the Xbox?

I still don’t el geez why you don’t use gamepadla, not the polling tester, but the xinput one. This way you could submit to the database.

Thanks for all the help as always. Followed the video step by step and although my g7's polling rate has improved, I'm only getting a polling rate of 750-800 Hz and an input delay of 1.25 ms. I ordered a new one to see if this is a hardware issue. In case I am wrong. Any advice on how to fix this and hit 1000 Hz?

I had to use the script to get 1000hz. Before that it would max out at 500hz if i tested it in the 1000hz mode. 250hz and 500hz modes gave 250hz and 500hz respectively in GamepadLA but as i said, the 1000hz maxed out at 500 before i used the script.

Do u have Thunderobot G50S? It was latest upgrade version G50. That controller very cheap but have many functions. (almost every goodies). except trigger stopping.

G7 SE (Xbox) I love my wired mic. Tried multiple wireless and keep going back to my wired mic. Do i have any options or work arounds to get the 1000 to work but still able to use my wired headset? Thank you.

how do I turn it on it’s plugged in to my console

Please make a review for EasySMX X10......

Did they fix the pc app? Because, I was stuck on older firmware with the tk4, with the app stating I was up to date even though the app was out of date itself 😢

*GameSir G7 and GameSir G7 SE are all made in HONG KONG because it is on the website. HK stands for HONG KONG.*

The 1000hz is real. Theres only 2 things i hate about this controller, the dpad is extremely hard to hit diagonals with rendering it trash for tekken 8, and for me profile 1 will not reset my trigger senstivity. I cant slide it with the mouse, i cant slide it on the xbox app, reset does nothing. A whole profile i cant use and have thus labeled 'f*cked'

Does anyone know how high the input lag is in the default settings on the Xbox? And especially in comparison to the Victrix Gambit?

oh men, i was hoping to see a comparasion between 1000hz app vs 1000hz script in the g7se

I got this controller from the outstanding review just over a week ago. I have a problem on console using wireless headset and using 1000hz the headset becomes very distorted and sounds are ear deafening any ideas I tried 1000 and god damn it’s a beast so smooth 500 is good but 1000 makes the difference

Do you know if they plan on ever opening up the 1000 hertz to windows 10? If I update it to 1000 hertz on an Xbox will it carry over to a windows 10 pc?

I bought this g7 special one, and what I want to know if we can add 2 extras paddles on the back 😢

Great video😊

can i do report rate on a mac i been trying everything and i won't let me do it? any help thanks

If anyone could help. I play Dayz and I got this controller to lean with my character and every time I switch LB & RB to the back peddles and it doesn’t work. Plus my triggers wouldn’t work. So I’m just in confusion. Pls help trying to have fun:)

I have the regular G7. I downloaded nexus 3.26 on my xbox but im not seeing the option to switch to 1000hz?

What is the best PS5 controller with off set sticks with the Ergonomics and comfortability of a Xbox controller with and without back buttons

Gave my g7 away got g7se broke in a week using kaleid now on pc feels better

Good video. Received my controller yesterday. Just had to try one & see if it's that good. Have only run Elite controllers since my first Series S/X console. But yeah, it's really good. Bit hard to get used to pure plastic to hold & a useless d-pad. But game-wise. Top notch! Does anyone know which thumb stick grips fit this controller?

Can someone please help me with fortnite build mode binds? I've been playing since the games release and cannot get out of the habit of using B button to switch mode and edit.
