Tech Up! Gamesir G7 Wired Controller Review

The first noticeable difference straight out of the box is the additional white face plate. Not only to give a distinct difference from the norm by itself, but with the material, paint friendly. In what is certainly an intentional call, the more creative of consumer can now really make their controller their own and customise to their hearts content (no creative ability here so its staying white for the foreseeable). 

After painting up your controller and making it truly unique (having a plain white faceplate is just as unique right? Nobody just leaves it white), it's time to plug it into the PC and really get to the meat on the bones. Gamesir has its own app on the Microsoft store in order to adjust any details to your hearts content. Using this Nexus software profiles can be created to suit playing needs and fiddle with any detail you fancy. All the expected adjustments are present with trigger sensitivity, vibration level and button mapping etc. Not being one for latency etc, focusing on the performance of each part of the pad isn't something that is focused on although for the technical amongst you, all those options are there and appreciated. 

8/10

Great - Silver Award

 The greatest compliment the Gamesir G7 can receive is that in its use, it feels just as good, if not better than a standard Microsoft controller. Focusing the product to create a superior pad compatible with less gaming options was certainly the right call and if Gamesir puts this focus into other system products rather than appealing to the masses, they could really be onto everything. Wired still feels like a bit of a backstep and it's a shame there is no internal battery, but if it's a high-quality wired controller you can not only tinker with internally, but create a unique piece of art on the outside too, look no further.
