Hall effect sensors should be the norm for newly released controllers, much more reliable, better accuracy and prevents e-waste.

Definitely gonna have to try this. It's infuriating how all the other controllers are designed to quickly wear out so you have to buy more.

Love this. Racing pedals switched away from Hall sensors years ago!

I've been using Hyperkin's new Xenon 360 controller since its release and have not experienced any stick drift. I absolutely love this controller, almost an exact replica of the old school 360 controller.

Thank you very much I've been looking for a video like this so I can use the back buttons

Went into my archives and found my 1st ps 1 and 1st ps 2 controllers,, still work as new no stick deift, no drifting or weird deadzones.. 😉 They don't make em like thwy used too..

Till PS3 and XBOX 360 times I never had issue with stick drift. Sticks get broken replaced everything else but never a stick drift. PS4 and Xbox One era started this crazy stick drift phenomena.

Built in deadzones are the reason the thumbsticks performed so well. You gotta put the thumbsticks in raw mode on the software to get the actual accurate results

Every Console controller should’ve already been using Hall effect sticks without question as these are billion dollar corporations knowingly using defective sticks and they’ve been doing it for years and what’s sad is the Sega Dreamcast already had these Hall effect sensors almost 30 years ago when everything was made to last

Ordered one of these yesterday for my birthday. Can’t wait to get my hands on it! I’m currently using a stock Xbox Series controller from Microsoft and it’s my fourth controller I believe. I’ve had issues with stick drift and my current controller likes to disconnect because the usb c cable is not very secure and has a lot of play. I was going to get an elite series 2 core controller but discovered this, so excited to get it 😊

I had this controller for a good min not issues other getting used to the sticks.

My MS controllers always end up with a bumper or trigger failing. How are the bumpers and triggers on the Gamesir?

loved it so far , cant comment on the dirability yet . I love how the cable fit in in the hole so the plastic protect the plug , my last controler fall on the ground and the cable plug break inside the controler . I assume its not gona happen with this one .

Hey great video. The G7se has built in deadzones which needs to be disabled through the nexus software. Once disabled and the raw mode enabled,the sticks will show resting position like the standard,also the error rate will be around 10% instead of .5%. In my review I found them to work best in raw mode and a lot of commenters agreed. I personally never had stick drift in 20years(so so lucky) I did, however,have had issues with bumpers and buttons.

Ive been looking at this controller constantly for almost 2 weeks, finally decided to buy one today with Kontrolfreek FPS Galaxy white Thumbsticks. Thank you for this video and imma sub to you man. Keep making these fanatics video

Only controller i use now, over the elite controller and regular controler, best controler ive ever owned

Controllers with hall effect joysticks should be the standard for the next generation of consoles. Instead of adding all the haptic feedback features on the dualsense (they're cool, but they aren't priority number 1), Sony should've put hall effect joysticks in them

Hello, I saw your video about the Xbox Elite 2 and GameSir G7 SE controllers. During the Circularity Test, there's a significant difference between the controllers. Is this noticeable when playing FPS games, or not that much? I'm unsure whether to buy a controller with better sticks or with more customization. Thank you in advance for your response.

How about the bumpers/triggers? are they good for games that uses them much such as Elden Ring?

Have you tried the Dualsense Edge?

Bought this yesterday and it arrived yesterday. I play on pc and have been using DS4s with the sony back button and decided to give this a try because the DS4 is still $60-65 haven’t tried it yet but from the reviews Ive watched, the latency is good, the stick drift can happen but takes a while and hardly noticeable. And the smaller feel in my hand and the longer handles feel better for my smaller hands and the buttons sit right where my middle fingers rest. Problem is im used to my paddles or buttons being used by my ring finger so it’ll be frustrating re-learning that. But im going to be plugging it in here in a couple hours and getting it set up. I’ve heard of people having problems with it disconnecting and reconnecting during games but that seemed to be a small handful of people. If this thing feels good it will be the best controller made for its price.

One thing I’ve noticed with these cheaper controllers is an issue with audio quality output through the mic. How does it hold up in that regard? Does your voice sound as clear to other players compared to the default Xbox controller?

the longevity for a normal joystick is like a year (at the max), i cant easily replace the left joystick censors with censors from my old 360 controllers, which is just sad. plus a new stock controller is like $80, $50 for a potentially non-drift controller is a steal

will you let us know stick drift of this controller in 6 to 12 months time?

I bought a Series X controller thinking that was going to last longer and here I'm less than a year with a hell of a drift... I might get this controller.

Just ordered this controller i can't wait to aim assist kids in Apex legends

great video. BTW do you happen to know what is the largest xbox x controller? i have a little trouble with my hands and find the larger controllers like for example the nintendo switch pro controller fits me better. Bigger and slightly angled outword would be great.

I like my GameSir G7 SE however I'm a bit miffed that even though they've included a swappable magnetic facia, there's only one available online for £20. 🤔

I am comparing it to the original Microsoft controller and the 8bitdo controller. I am pleasantly surprised by the build quality. All the buttons click very well, and there is no creaking even with a strong grip on the controller. The volume control works very well. Now, the most important aspect, the thumbsticks. They are very precise with zero dead zones and no drifting. There is a suitable material around the thumbsticks, and they move very smoothly at maximum tilt, unlike other controllers. Whether it's prone to malfunctions, only time will tell.

I wonder if the sensors can be swapped into another controller? I would love to swap these into my Elite Series 2 controller.

I bet G7pro model gonna come with clicky button,hall stick,more rear button, wireless.

Only problem i have with this g7 controller are the back buttons i wish they were raised alittle higher they are almost flush with the controller i has to go back to my old power a fusion pro2

Hey great vid! How was your family getaway? 😁

great video! thank you!

I have the G7 SE. What a huge difference it has in the way the sticks feel. Way smoother than my Xbox controllers.

This controller is an absolute sleeper unit, gone through 3 stock Xbox controller and one battle beaver and they all had some issue either with the sticks or bumpers, granted this is lighter in the hand then a stock Xbox controller the sticks are a dream, the overall feel and comfortability and the price point with back buttons are unbeatable then anything else on the market.

Do you know when its gonna be wireless or any wireless compatible one thx

I have another controller from this brand which uses hall effect sticks. They are just amazing

I'm trying to use this on PUBG and no matter what settings/calibrations I try, the left thumbstick just will not activate a full run action. Very frustrating.

just ordered as my second series x controller started drifting really bad

Does KontrolFreeks fit on this controller? Thanks

i have this , in currently looking for a stick drift fix

Could I just buy this and plug it straight into my Xbox or do I have to plug it into my pc and adjust it?

This video and many like it are completely misleading. The reason the gamesir has such great numbers with that tester is that by default the gamesir has a 5 point dead zone and the circularity is set through software adjustments. To actually test the gamesir correctly, you have to change the stick inputs to “raw” and remove the dead zone adjustments in the gamesir software. if you do that it’s still a great controller and often better than stock Xbox but not by the numbers shown in this video. I still think this is the best controller you can get for a reasonable price ( and has Hall effect sticks!). it’s a great controller I’m not knocking it. I just don’t like being misled.

That Israel spf shirt fire

I just picked mine up for 30 dollars 🎉

Are you able to switch the thumb sticks for Xbox ones

very informative.. does anyone know which car game he is playing

I never had drift in a controller until i got the nintendo switch and now the new xbox. I wonder what changed in the sticks?

I’m on my 2nd Xbox x controller. I want a hard wired controller. The MS cable connection is trash and horrible fitted. I’m considering this. A plug in cable at the controller itself is a negative.

Just bought this controller because my Scuf decided to crap out. The sticks on this $45 controller feel better than any other controller I’ve ever used. I don’t need four back buttons/paddles - even when I have them I only use two. This controller definitely punches above its weight, and I’ll definitely be holding on to this for a while until I’m ready to buy another SCUF controller.

So how is everyone doing with this one? I’ve looked at a few reviews and some people are saying they still get stick drift very fast, or even out of the box?

Wwhy does every hall effect controller put the start/back buttons so high up?!

Is the G7 SE Controller a Wired or a Wireless? Will it work without the wire with a Xbox Series?

It’s a pity the controller doesn’t have the option of playing wireless but it’s still a good controller

Can I click r3?

we are back to 90s no warless

This controller is affected by the new license policy?

Any idea why they do not do this in wireless ?

Does it work on Xbox one?

I've been through 3 OEM Xbox controllers due too stick drift in 1 year. Just picked this up and we will see ....

Do the sticks accept kontrol freek xbox x/s or ps5/4?

Will kontrolfeaks fit on it?

How Long Is The Cord

rn this controller goes for 999 in my currency whereas the standard/stock xbox series controller goes for 1499. Which i think is just crazy and i love it

Can you update us after four months?

Cant wait to use these on rocket league

😊😊

Is it better than the normal xbox controller?

Should have been macro back buttons. That was the deal breaker for me. Maybe in the future we will get macros and trigger stops with Halleffect joysticks

Does it come in black? The pull rate on a PS5 controller is 8000hz. Making aiming in shooters really responsive and highly precise. This controller is the only Xbox controller that has a 1000hz pull rate. All other Xbox controllers have a pool rate of 500hz. I'm very curious about this controller. Any chance you can make a video about controller pull rates?

does this controller uspport kontrolfreeks?

I wish they release a different color.

I got one and it has stick drift😢 out of the box

Will this still work when Microsoft cracks down on aftermarket controllers

Mine came in the day before Christmas, plugged them in and defective out of the box. What the fuck

But it's not more expensive. I mean, it might be "double" the price, but we're talking few bucks or half of few bucks per pair of sticks. That's "saving" cents instead prolonging service life for year or two. Ridiculous. Hall sensors used are those like sot89 package or smtn, they cost 10 bucks per ribbon (100pcs), and you use tiny magnets. The only trick is to position everything right and to calibrate, the same problem as with pots. But you solve it once and start production. It's more likely they just prefer selling controllers more often. Though, gamers are part of the problem here - you can buy those modules from China for 2-3$ a pair, you just need to open the controller, remove and solder the new ones, but we're lazy. And these modules are different, some are for this, some for that controller, but almost every third-party gamepad will be compatible with some of them. Sometimes you'll have to bend some wires and that's the biggest problem you can face. But, we don't do it, we just buy another because we wanna try another controller anyway. While there're sheep, there will be wool.

i love how the sticks go 100% back to center instantly, no play.... The stick do not move around at all, tightly locked in. Out of the box playing COD, besides the cord, the back button and start are a few centimeters higher, center Xbox button does not feel as smooth as regular xbox, that was the only things I had to get used to, which is honestly non issues for me. Just wanted to be honest. A,B,X,Y, sticks, and triggers feel better than a regular Xbox controller. Shell does not feel like a Xbox controller, it has a texture on the back, not a bad thing, just different from normal. Its lighter w/o my battery pack. If I shake a regular xbox controller the buttons and sticks jiggle, the game sir does not, no noise at all, feel like everything was built to precision, quality is on another level vs xbox there. If this was wireless I would suggest Xbox make it their normal controller that comes with the system.

Most of my analog stick drift not from not just the potentiometer part is faulty but the rest of the analog component, the middle spring, the plastic leg holding the potentiometer crack, etc, esp if u play first person shooter daily using the push button to run alot. Hall effects wont magically makes the stick last longer, just reduce potentiometer part being seasoned, but the rest of the body are still plastic that is prone to damage from heavy daily use. Till the day someone compare day to day use of these hall effect analog in real daily use for same hours vs old alps sticks, i wont buy into the hype of it.

This product state's it's has an "ANTI" ability, which is like saying something is water Resistant. Which mean's it's not WATER PROOF. Anti drift isn't anything close to "NO DRIFT".

It's great until you realize the 7mm sticks instead of 9mm throw off all accuracy

1 week of use on the G7 se, no drift, still feels out of the box.. I bought a regular Xbox controller and had noticeable drift in 2 weeks last month.

u have to review it after 6 months to 1 year and see if this is still gd

Just give me the sticks themselves I'll put them in my controllers instead of selling whole controllers.

The amount of money I've had to put forth on new controllers over the past 4 years is enough to break my bank. The big 3 companies love the expendable controller model , it is an easy profit for them. Be very careful buying Microsoft controllers from Amazon especially. Nearly all of them had a major issue within a month if I bought it for a few dollars less on a sale or not. It's a crime that they get away with this. I literally bought my last Xbox controller from Microsoft last month & getting this sent today. Edit is my poor spelling. Adios

Planned obsolescence

This bulshit problem only exists from xbox one and PS4 era because all manufacturers went dirt cheap on us whilst UPPING controller pricing.. We all have controllers from the 90s and 2000s that still work.

you say that you dont know for sure if companies only use potentiometers because hall effect sticks are to expensive. Really. Maybe look into what the gamesir t4 kaleid cost. same company, but this controller cost 45 dollars and has hall effect sticks and mechanical face buttons. plus it has a gyroscope (wich xbox controller dont have). now tell me agian if you dont know for sure if tit is just greed. You CAN say that these components are not that expensive, because there are more companies who only sell controllers (and no big consoles). who seem to be able to provide controllers with more features then the standard console controller, for almost have the price. Look at some controllers from flydigi. especially the vader 3 pro. It has hall effect trigger, with a trigger lock that slides in mechanical mouse switches. plus it has mechanical face buttons and hall effect sticks, 4 back buttons, and gyro sensors. for 80- 100 dollars. The flydigi apex also has mechanical switches, 4 back buttons mechanical triggers, and it has an extra wheel (it is also completly remapable on rewasd). The controller cost 90 dollars. Flydigi is a small chinese company, and solely relies on selling controller for the mobile phone and pc market. Especially geare towards gyro players on pc (wich is already a niche market). So if big companies like Sony charge 200+ for a pro controller that only has 2 back buttons and trigger locks (wich are not even that quick compared to flydigi controllers). plus you can only remap the dualsense edge on steam or rewasd if you enable the default profile. This controller does not have hall effect sticks or mechanical face buttons and triggers. And they lock the profiles to the edge controller instead of letting people who own the normal dualsense also make custom profiles (minus the back buttons). The 8 bit do uiltimate bleutooth controller has hall effect sticks and two back buttons. the king kong pro 2 from gulikit also has hall effect sticks and some form of mechanical buttons. for 60 dollars. lpus both have a gyroscope, and maybe even a accelerometer. You can also adjust the profiles on pc. So why are youtubers to afraid of actually calling out these practices as greed. KZfaqrs are way to cautios and afraid of offending Either Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo. KZfaqrs might suggest that they think it is greed, but never fully commit to a real opinion. Maybe just call it out like it is. there is nothing wrong with that. Just stick to your guns people.

Wired only means :( GameSir needs to make a wireless controller.

And Microsoft's response to aftermarket controllers that are better than theirs is to ban the use of any wireless controllers while still supporting wired controllers thinking that people will want to stick with wireless? NO! I've just paid £39.97 for a GameSir G7 SE and then £12.99 for a 5m cable, both from ebay. Microsoft can kiss my ours!

Hall effect joystick controller: Nintendo ✅ Xbox✅ Playstation ❔❔

circularity error has nothing to do with stick accuracy. analog sticks are not built to draw perfect cirles its just sofware giving you that 0.5 percent . stock xbox and ps controllers draw a rounded square because it translates diagonals better in game. set the deadzone to raw and use that instead.

Microsoft needs to be sued for making Xbox controllers the worst out of any controller;Broken bumpers and stick driftv

Over hyped. With no adjustable triggers and face generic buttons it's a hard pass for me

phobs did it first

Wired controller is absolutely useless

4:35 snapping back to 0.00002 means it has a default middle cirdcle deadzone henc eu can see 0.00002 always, it doesnt mean that the stick is 100% acurate smh You should not use that point for a review

The end of stick drift.. ? No, maybe the beginning of a new fad of huge dead-zones in analog sticks..

I don't call it potentiometer, I call it.... idiotometer, it makes Us idiots keep buying crap. The dreamcast solved stick drift 20 years ago.

If you are questioning why companies like Microsoft haven't switched to this technology (like you said, because of creating endless need to purchase controllers) then I cannot conceivably take your review seriously
