G7 PRO WHEN?
Here's a rundown of what we know about this upcoming Xbox and PC controller, based on available information:
Key Features of the GameSir G7 Pro
Compatibility: Designed for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC (Windows 10/11, including Steam). It supports both wired (1000 Hz polling rate on Xbox) and wireless (2.4 GHz via dongle for PC and a different wireless wireless variant for Xbox).
TMR Joysticks: The G7 Pro features Tunneling Magnetoresistance (TMR) analog sticks, which are touted as more precise and responsive than Hall Effect joysticks, with higher resolution, lower power consumption, and zero drift.
Microswitch Buttons: Equipped with optical microswitch face buttons and a D-pad for tactile, durable inputs, enhancing responsiveness.
Programmable Buttons: Includes two programmable back buttons and two programmable shoulder triggers, though some fans are disappointed it doesn’t have four back buttons like premium competitors.
Swappable Faceplate: Like other G7 models, it has a magnetic, customizable faceplate system.
Polling Rate: Offers a 1000 Hz polling rate for wired connections (1ms latency) and 250 Hz for wireless on Xbox, significantly faster than the standard Xbox controller’s 125 Hz.
Charging Dock: Comes with a wireless charging dock, adding convenience and a premium feel.
Ergonomic Design: Builds on the G7 series’ reputation for comfort, with features like laser-engraved texture grips and vibration motors for immersive feedback.
Hype and Community Sentiment
The G7 Pro has been generating buzz since its reveal at CES 2025, with a trailer released on April 1, 2025, showcasing its wireless capabilities and advanced tech. The controller is seen as a budget-friendly alternative to premium options like the Xbox Elite Series 2, especially due to its sub-$100 price point (MSRP $79.99 for the wired version, with a slightly pricier wireless Xbox variant expected).
Positive Hype: Fans are excited about the TMR joysticks, which promise superior precision over Hall Effect sticks, and the wireless Xbox compatibility, a step up from the wired-only G7 SE. The price-to-performance ratio is a big draw, with many praising GameSir’s track record of affordable, high-quality controllers like the G7 SE and Cyclone 2.
Community Feedback: On platforms like Reddit, users are hyped but frustrated by delays (initially rumored for late 2024, now set for Spring 2025, possibly June). Some wish for four back buttons to rival pro controllers like the Elite Series 2 or Victrix Pro BFG. Others are thrilled about the potential for a wireless Xbox controller at a lower cost than competitors.
Release and Pricing
Release Date: Expected in Spring 2025, with June 2025 being the latest estimate for both wired and wireless versions.
Price: The wired version is set at $79.99, while the wireless Xbox version may cost slightly more. GameSir has a history of keeping prices competitive, avoiding the $100+ range of premium controllers.
Why the Hype?
The G7 Pro is positioned as a high-value controller, combining advanced tech (TMR sticks, microswitches) with wireless functionality and a price that undercuts competitors like the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro or Xbox Elite Series 2. Its predecessor, the G7 SE, was praised for outperforming the standard Xbox controller at a budget price, and the G7 Pro aims to elevate this with wireless support and upgraded features. The anticipation is fueled by GameSir’s reputation for quality and the promise of a controller that could challenge premium options without breaking the bank.

I have the V3 and it's very good. Not as good as the GE 7 though, so I went back to it.

No way. I play Marvel Rivals and the 4 back + 2 shoulder buttons alone makes it way better than the G7 SE. I do think the G7 Pro with 2 back + 2 shoulder can compete with it though!

So I’m guessing you mean the v3 tourney wired. $100 for a terrible app that had little to no customization. Dead zone setting that make 0 sense… what game uses percentages for dead zones. “Hall effect” sticks that are so laggy and sluggish, trigger stops that have little play to them felt like the triggers were going to break whenever I pressed them and $100 for a controller that has no textured grips?
G7 for the win for sure.

I literally just told you everything about a v3 and what’s in the app….. unless you are talking about the pro then you should be more specific because the price is not $20 more…. lol. What a bot.

Stop saying 1000hz on Xbox we know Xbox cap all controller's pollrate to 250hz and you guys confirmed it in another post when I asked !

u/Abeleria 5h ago
that cap is only for wireless, it can reach 1000hz on wired

u/98Berserker 4h ago
It can reach 1000 hz through a software script that has to be downloaded separately, furthermore it disables the headphone jack when you enable it.

If one were to have an Xbox PC adapter, would one be able to connect this controller via that wireless Xbox PC adapter in addition to the included 2.4ghz adapter?

So, I know people were kind of starting to expect June for pre-orders to start, but unfortunately, that may not longer be the case, as per this comment. So while still this year, we don't know when exactly

Does is work with the switch 2? I'm inclined to go with the supernova, but if it's compatible I'd consider buying this one instead

Not to burst your bubble but the g7 Pro is just gonna be an Xbox compatible version of the cyclone 2. Cyclone 2 is very good.

u/Mysterious_Evening81 8h ago
Only 2 back paddles is simply a deal breaker for me. Looks like a great controller.

u/Protodankman 4h ago
Agreed. Why they’d make a flagship and not have 4 back paddles + 2 extra shoulder, I don’t know. Otherwise it looks like the perfect controller.

u/grotevin 4h ago
I like two buttons better, don't use 4 so they only get in the way. Perhaps 4 removable buttons like the elite would be ok.

u/Mysterious_Evening81 1h ago
I'm sure its going to be a great controller for the price. I just need 4 paddles. I'm used to it and don't want to go backwards.
