It's not very good. It hurts my hands (a little smaller), like bad.

hey man between t4 kaleid and G7 SE which one shoukd i buy? for pc only, and appart from that, if i should decide between those 2 and the 8BitSo, which one would you recommend? @@vCuda
All Gamesir has to do is make a 4 back button, clicky trigger, hall effect controller with their level of quality, and they immediately put a dent into the pro controller/custom controller market. That breaks the 'meta', and I think they will actually do it at some point.
Make one like that for $70 and one wireless with same refresh rate at $100 and it is the insta goat. Trigger stops would be cool too. I actually love the back button locks on my g7se for rocket leage
This, it's like they've all made a secret pact to not make the perfect controller, because once one of them does it all of them will have to follow suit.
It is SO hard to find good info about these types of controller. You have more info than the product pages in a lot of cases. Thank you so much for doing these types of videos!
Yeah ever since cudas video on the g7 se I was lovin it but I had moved and forgot my controller at a friends house so now I either buy a new one or just wait like a year til I move back (I’m 100% just gon buy a new one)
@@neat2014well I’ve have had mine for a lil more than a month and I’ve been playing fortnite everyday it’s def better than the regular Xbox controller and still working like brand new 🤷🏾♂️
My razor wolverine TE is starting to wear down (thumb sticks are peeling off and left bumper starting to work less and sometimes the x button near my left trigger gets stuck) after 4 years 😢. Too bad they discontinued. I was planning on buying the g7se because the paddles look like they’re in a similar position. Would you say the switch was easy and comfortable?
@@slashfan1019 yes. It's as small as the wolverine. I have big hands since I'm 6'5". The X button started to get stuck as well on my controller. That's why I went with the gamesir g7 SE. I love it.
game sir is highly recomended due to his last review on them i picked one up. after about 7 months my right tigger stopped working and they worked with me and sent a brand new controller since the warenty was not up. Amazing.
If you're playing on Windows 10, the Gamesir G7 SE can only go up to 500hz/2ms. To use 1000hz/1ms, you need Windows 11. I'm not sure about any other OS or the regular G7. I still highly recommend the G7 or G7 SE, depending on your preference. I'm using the SE on Windows 10, and I love it. Thanks for making these vids vCuda.
@olytorres4499 I'm not sure. 500hz/2ms works fine on console, but iirc it disables the mic functionality on the controller until you set it back to 250hz (at least on console). I haven't tested the mic on pc, and I haven't tested the 1000hz/1ms mode on any of the consoles.
After 3 xbone controllers failed on me, I made the leap to an elite series 2. Stick drift day one out of the box. I was pissed. Naively, I exchanged it instead of returning it, however, the spirit of Phil Spencer must've been watching over me since the replacement has been going strong for over a year now, which is an eternity in the elite controller world from what I've gathered. But, I'm walking on eggshells, just waiting for the day it dies. When it does, that G7 SE def has my eye. I always look forward to the vids, dude!
Elite 2 would be perfect if they hadn’t cheaped out on components. I went through two in about a year and on both the bumpers started failing: first one after about eight months and the second one after only ten weeks of semi-daily use. I have a Vader 3 pro arriving today, sorry Microsoft, you really dropped the ball with Elite 2
I had 2 Gamesir G7 SE's and both got the bad grinding on the left thumbstick at the top where it meets the anti-friction ring. I decided recently to try another one and this new one does not have the grind at all so maybe they fixed that but I can say that it is an awesome controller. Highly recommend.
Speaking as someone who only plays fighting games; the octagonal gates on the Gambit, and Pro BFG also from Victrix, are THE selling point for a fighting game pad. No one else is offering them for PC, Xbox, or PS controllers. Additional buttons, trigger stops, low latency, etc. are pretty much common place and while those are all fantastic features of a 'pro' controller, absolutely nothing beats the confidence you get during a combo than being able to securely slam the analog stick into one of those 8 beautiful corners. If you prefer a leverless or traditional arcade stick for fighting games, or you're playing anything other than a fighting game or classic arcade title, then you won't find them useful.
5:42 I have that controller it’s pretty good but has a lot of stick drift now and I’ve only had it for 3-4 months so I gotta buy a new one already I’ll be buying the Game sir g7 now because I’ve been hearing a lot about it and a controller with no stick drift for 40 dollars sounds good to me
Yessssir glad to see you uploaded bro 👊🏾 hope you feeling a little better and remember WE ARE HERE FOR YOU ! Great video and keep talking to us, see you soon ! 👊🏾❤
8:36 I actually have this controller still. But after a bit over a year almost a year and a half i can report two recent breackages. The first was the right thumb stick breaking off... this was fixed with a toothpick (no im serious) widdled down to the perfect size and then shoved into the hold where the joystick broke...Still works really well. But the second breakage was the left bumper. Idk what happened but now it rattles and isnt staying properly attached to the controller anymore. Still works kinda
Yes that controller is really well but the company spent most of their attention on the inside of the controller and how fast it is instead they should have spent more attention on the durability for it
It's always gunna be a good day when I wake up and see that you've got a new video out. I don't ever even need a new controller lol, I just enjoy your content.
I'm almost 2 years in using my Gambit with all 4 backbuttons. Essentially replacing the facebuttons for me in all shooters. I agree the top buttons placements are a bit awkward, but they still feel great for detachable buttons tbf. LB/RB breaking too easily is really my only gripe.
Love your videos. Glad to see you back at it. The pre gain on certain channels is too high for audio. So usually i can crank my phone and do somethings else with fine audio. This one is scratchy? Its not really bad but it punches and has noise.
You're missing the best budget Xbox/PC controller. Which is called the "Snakebyte GAMEPAD PRO X" that has both Hall-effect Triggers and thumb sticks along with hair trigger stops and two remappable back buttons all for just $80!!!
Flydigit Apex 4 has solved the gradual loss of centering due to the spring loosening with its "flat bar return to center" mechanism. And it has hall sensors too. So, I believe it's the first pad to have solved the stick drift on the sensor and the mechanical level!
i've been hitting my head against the metaphorical wall of reseachin pro-controlers for PC, so this review & the next one are coming in clutch for me ¡thanks 🙏🏽
Broke my elite series controller , dropped it off at gamestop , got the power a enhanced for $22 bucks as a cheapo replacement. The back buttons are what sold me . I mapped one to jump and the other to slide for COD movement . I actually like the back button placement. I dont think ill have stick drift issues as i wont wear down the joysticks from pressing l3 and r3 . Once my elite series arrives im giving it to my kids to play roblox on pc since they like paddle jumping . They scratched that itch of wanting to try back buttons , the fusion looks dope but throw an extra 90 to it and you got an elite series . You're the best cuda !!
I've been using my gambit for a year till the lb broke I emailed them and they responded pretty fast it took awhile to come but once I sent all the info they were pretty good so maybe they heard you! So thanks for that! Always love the vids and appreciate your input! Once my gambit goes I'm going with the new bfg for Xbox that one looks amazing! Can't wait to see your thoughts on it! Also I saw your going through some stuff and just wanted to say stay I know it hard but there's people out there who got your back!😊
Man, you come up with some of the funniest things. No one else does humor like you 🤣. Thanks for these videos. As you probably noticed, I really enjoy them. 👏👏
6:10 I've had the Gamesir G7 SE for about 6 months and it has faults in the bumpers. After all this time it's bumpers is the only fault i've had with it. Before that it was great, but i'd recommend getting a controller with more longevity
I would recommend staying away from Power A controllers as much as possible. 2 of my buddies including me got stick drift out the box, my bumpers became unresponsive within a few months despite never dropping it once and zero physical damage to the bumper or the contact.
Love the vid man. I'm still rocking an old spectra and it gets me by I'm thinking about jumping over to gamesir but I'm waiting to see if they combine all the features for a more premium controller 🤞 hopefully this year
I have the G7 SE. For the first few months of owning it I really enjoyed it! I installed a pair of Kontrol Freek thumb grips on my controller (Playstation version of the thumb grips not the xbox version) and it worked for everything I wanted it to work with! That was until a week ago (got the controller in november 2023) when the A button stopped responding. Because this issue was most likely just a dirty contact on the board and it was super easy to get down to the thumb stick modules for cleaning I figured that I could do the same with the A button. Unfortunately, as soon as I removed the screws from the layer where the faceplate snaps into place, the controller just exploded. Do not get this controller! Hall effect sticks do not guarantee that something else won't fail over the same time frame as a regular controller!
@@garrettstrutz7421 my point here is that it lasted about the same amount of time as a regular xbox wireless controller while also costing about the same when they are on sale and is not repairable by the end user therefore it was not worth it for me
thanks for making this. hope you're doing well man. I feel like controllers these days are so close to being great but always have some fundamental flaw. I wish we could get a controller with good ergonomics, two buttons up top by the bumpers/triggers, and two on the back, 1 ms response times, and hall effect sticks. I'm still rocking my 3 year old razer wolverine te (v1) and the sticks are balding. Razer is very close, if they could get hall effect sticks and 1 ms response time I feel like they'd have the market in a chokehold.
Thanks! Was just looking for a budget controller. Albeit got my Brook Wingman XB2, and testing my old trusty dualshock PS4 on my Xbox Series S. Buttons on the DS is much better, but after your review, i need to look into Gamesir 😊
Great video I also recommend game sir I just randomly bought the kaleid controller with rgb and for $50 you get alot of bang for buck great controller do yourself a favor buy one you won't be disappointed
I actually really like the powerA fusion pro 3, good customer support imo (had one replaced quickly), good case, can use the faceplates from previous models, I mainly like the back buttons more then any other controller I've tried.
Another dope video bro, But can you let us know about the Gamenetics controllers? Looks really good and it comes with 4 clicking back buttons and triggers. It would be a dope video cuz no one has talked about it in here
Awesome video. The xbox one controllers would always fail on me in about 1 year. But, the xbox series x controllers have been perfect. I haven’t had one break yet & I game online alot.
Great video man. Good to see you doing what you love. I heard in the comments you have a video coming out for PS controllers, but I was also wondering if you’d be interested in doing a video for universal (PC, Android, Switch) controllers. I’m a pc guy trying to turn my rig into a console-like experience (smart tv, router, moonlight, etc.) but so far I haven’t decided on a controller. Appreciate it, keep up the good work!
These videos are great ! I bet if you were to scale back some of the language you would transcend all markets . It’s not selling out it’s selling up .anyways thanks for the good work and enjoyable content .
I can say I have used Power A to Scuf controllers. All of these controllers have broken in one way or another in less than 6 months( I play a lot of FPS games). The Gamesir after 6 months and 1000s of hours of warzone. All buttons still work and no stick stick drift. If they made pro version of this controller with trigger stops and 4 paddles I would purchase it right away. Thank vCuda for the original recommendation of gamesir.
I was surprised that t4 kaleid from gamesir is not on this list, its the best controller ive ever had and is basically the best parts of the g7 and g7se.

Razer is very close, if they could get hall effect sticks and 1 ms response time I feel like they'd have the market in a chokehold.
Thanks! Was just looking for a budget controller. Albeit got my Brook Wingman XB2, and testing my old trusty dualshock PS4 on my Xbox Series S. Buttons on the DS is much better, but after your review, i need to look into Gamesir 😊
ty for introducing me to the controllers, watching the whole video 🙏
thanks for making this video, it helps a lot
Great video I also recommend game sir I just randomly bought the kaleid controller with rgb and for $50 you get alot of bang for buck great controller do yourself a favor buy one you won't be disappointed
Thabk for the thorough review. I also appreciate your work with Thin Lizzy. ;)
vCuda, thank you so much for this helpful review! Gamesir g7 se purchased on your affiliate link - no brainer there!
I actually really like the powerA fusion pro 3, good customer support imo (had one replaced quickly), good case, can use the faceplates from previous models, I mainly like the back buttons more then any other controller I've tried.
But also got it for like $60 on sale and it does have software.
Another dope video bro, But can you let us know about the Gamenetics controllers? Looks really good and it comes with 4 clicking back buttons and triggers. It would be a dope video cuz no one has talked about it in here
Hello Hemi v Cuda
My wolverine ultimate is still working, I have 8bitdo pro 2 now too.
Great review, appreciate it!
Bought a g7 se and a LLTGEM case for travel could not be happier
Jacket still looks FRESH! Better late than never right!! 👏
@vCuda The go to controller everywhere cheap I own over two hundred Power A Spectra Infinity and one Spectra Advantage-Lumectra
Love ya work mate
Awesome video. The xbox one controllers would always fail on me in about 1 year. But, the xbox series x controllers have been perfect. I haven’t had one break yet & I game online alot.
Great video my man, really helpful and definitely sold on the Gamesir G7!
wait for flydigi vader 4 pro. 80$ for pro controller with all the features and unable to get stickdrift
@@harunoderso that's amazing. I'd like to know what the build quality is. BTW, I'm loving the G7!!!
@@peacebestill439 I bought it and it is amazing, would recommend
Surely one of the most useful videos you've put out. Thanks for the content and keep hanging on dude ♥
Great video man. Good to see you doing what you love. I heard in the comments you have a video coming out for PS controllers, but I was also wondering if you’d be interested in doing a video for universal (PC, Android, Switch) controllers. I’m a pc guy trying to turn my rig into a console-like experience (smart tv, router, moonlight, etc.) but so far I haven’t decided on a controller. Appreciate it, keep up the good work!
Bro, I fucking love the Marty McFly 2015 jacket bro
What a comeback! Thanks Cuda!
When does the high end controller video come out?
No gamesir T4 kaleid??? I’m confused because I thought you said it was like a better version of the g7 and g7 SE…
Sorry I'm 2 hours late to this. I haven't slept yet so I'm gonna come back to this when I wake up. Big ups man.
ok fully watched. solid video
These videos are great ! I bet if you were to scale back some of the language you would transcend all markets . It’s not selling out it’s selling up .anyways thanks for the good work and enjoyable content .
I can say I have used Power A to Scuf controllers. All of these controllers have broken in one way or another in less than 6 months( I play a lot of FPS games). The Gamesir after 6 months and 1000s of hours of warzone. All buttons still work and no stick stick drift. If they made pro version of this controller with trigger stops and 4 paddles I would purchase it right away.
Thank vCuda for the original recommendation of gamesir.
is your gamesir an SE ?
@@DhafinSalman the G7 se
Still using the victrix gambit from launch with 0 issues only downside is I don't get to shop for pro controllers
Everybody talking about the flydigi apex 4... have you heard of it? Great video btw!
Always nice watching your videos bro 😎 keep up the amazing work ✌🏼
amazing video as usual, can you make a detailed video on the FlyDigi Apex 4?
Plan on it!
i agree 100 % i have owned all these controllers and the g 7 se is by far the best one!
How is the gamestr g7 se long term?
Thank you for being the best channel on TH-cam for this content.
I was surprised that t4 kaleid from gamesir is not on this list, its the best controller ive ever had and is basically the best parts of the g7 and g7se.
