Just goes to show exactly how far ahead of its time the Dreamcast was and it keeps getting proven over and over again as time passes. Absolutely insane!
I have had this controller since its release, it only comes in the one colour and the lead is plenty long enough. The sticks do take some getting used too due to how precise they are but once muscle memory kicks in, the difference is night and day with this controller. Money well spent for sure, within the app you can set dead zones and re map any button. Worth mentioning that the L1 and R1 triggers are also ‘Hall effect’ so very accurate with input with the ability to turn on a mode with slightest input registers as %100 press, handy for FPS. At this price you all need to at least have this as a back up controller, although this has now turned into my main for games like COD.
I’m glad you said halls sensors have been around forever. Gets on my nerves ppl said it’s “new tech” when at the very least I’ve been using halls gimbals for drone racing 7 years ago LOL
This might actually be an insane option for competitive FPS titles with controller support. Checks a lot of boxes and is a compelling price point, especially for hall effect sticks. I might grab one of these for Halo or Call of Duty to see how it feels.
*Both of my PS5 controllers have stick drift, i literally just ordered a custom white Xbox controller you can see it in my community tab. Of course i see this right afterwards*
There is a large benefit to having No drift, and that is that you can tighten your dead zone in your steam controller settings. That means you can have much sooner response with the slightest stick input. Baseline dead zones are well on the safe side, meaning you have to move the stick quite a bit before you see any movement in the game
Sucks that microsoft doesn't let third-party companies release wireless controllers unless it's wired. I hate having the usb cord hanging out during gameplay since it gets in the way.
Isn't the 8bitdo sn30 pro for Xbox wireless? You could also use a Brook wingman xb adapter to use almost any controller on Xbox. Personally I dig wired controllers. No more batteries to change, and lower input lag though I know it is negligible. I like the PlayStation style controller of the 8bitdo pro 2 wired controller, and it's my daily driver controller.
I didn't know that. That's a huge restriction, they've got a monopoly on the wireless.. Just have to keep buying over and over OEM to have that feature, might be best to manually swap the sticks with hall effect if possible. Series controller is the best I've ever used. It would be perfect if they added that, stock.
Why is a wire an issue? Theres no gyro or motion controls. Walking in front of the tv is usually a no go anyways an extra cable does nothing. If distance is an issue USB extension cables are plentiful and veratile. The only downside I see for cables is its long distance cross room pains so maybe it makes kvm multi tv one xbox setups worse? But even then you could wire usb extenders through a wall and not worry about signal degredation.
I have owned an Xbox one controller since 2013 and have never had stick drift with any of them. But this sounds like a great option to mitigate the drifting problem.
I have been telling everyone that listens that this and the G7(prefer the G7) are THE BEST wired controllers.... If xbox would allow any 3rd party to use their wireless tech, these would be hard to beat...and not only because the price Gamesir Thrustmaster (if they make a V3 with better back buttons and better ergonomics) 8bitdo pro 2 controller, but with offset sticks Victrix is pretty good too
Both my controllers that I got with my Series S now have stick drift. They only lasted a year. Ordered this from Amazon. Looking forward to trying it out after hearing all the reviews.
Yeah definitely, I'd say the switch is by far the worst, followed by the Xbox elite series 2 then Playstation then any other Xbox controller for how often I've had issues with stick drift
Two things. Please share with third-party controller makers that there is the audience that wants a wireless Xbox like controller for the PS five that comes with rumble. it doesn’t extra paddles, but there needs to be a full controller option for the PS five with off stick the razor doesn’t have rumble which sucks for its cost. The second thing is an idea for a video I would be interested in watching from you is how you personally use the various controllers that you have. Have done a lot of and shared how you use that specific controller however, I would like to see how you use the controllers that you have. Which controllers do you how often do you use the additional buttons on controllers? How do you decide to use keyboard over a controller etc. I always see reviews of controllers, but not specifically how gamers actually use them in their daily lives most of us just have one or two controllers may be a pro and a base or maybe just various bass type controllers, so it’ll be interesting to see someone who has a wide variety of controllers decides to use them. I know you only use three including maybe a fight stick I think that will still be interesting how you go about picking a controller for the games your playing that day.
Don't believe it, as everything is made to break, otherwise they can't make BIG $$$. Unlike the old stuff pre 80s or even 70s when stuff was made to last.
Hall effect is the only way to go. The accuracy and durability of the sticks is very important. The G7 SE absolutely delivers in this area. While lighter and cheaper feeling than the standard Xbox controller. The Hall effect sticks, organamics, and rear buttons are great. Not having to worry about batteries or recharging and faster input are the benefits of the wired style. I would definitely recommend this controller.
I've been waiting for a controller like this for years and its finally here! I got mine a month ago right when it released and ive had zero stick drift so far with at least an hour every day of using it.
Not into wired controllers as I sometimes play around kids and dogs. This is very cool tho! I've been having good luck with my latest controller tho. It's been drift free for several months now. Got a pink one from best buy.
I actually just ordered this as a back up for ny xbox elite series 2 controller since my first series 2 controller died after 2 months of use, gonna put this controller in my room for that xbox and use my wlite controller in the living room & if the elite craps out ill switch to using the g7. The only big feature this foesnt have that the elite series 2 has that i wish it had was adjustable thumb stick tension. I love using the max setting on the elite series 2 and i just feel like the thumb sticks are gonna feel loose on this controller
Wish they allowed an option to swap sticks like with the Xbox controller configuration options in the Gamesir Nexus app. It’s odd they have a lot of options but don’t have that one in particular.
I bought this 1 month ago and i'm ultra flabbergasted. It's ultra accurate. The only one thing is that i dont know how to switch prifile from The controller. (i play on pc) 🎉❤🎉 i love this controller. Before this i had the élite Series 2 and the sticks fuck themselves in 1 year idk why😅.
I'd rather just get any wireless controller with a warranty than this. And honestly the only Microsoft controller i've had stick drift problems with is the elite series 2, even my 360 controller still works. The thing that needs this most is the switch because damn do those controllers break easily
I've had about 5 gamesir controllers over the years and they've all developed different kinds of problems after just a few months of use, I'm not sure I'd buy this one. I mean one developed stick drift after 2 days One kept shutting off randomly while having a full battery, one's dpad stopped working after 2 months, and the last 2's bumpers started either sticking or not working at all. And I'm not someone who breaks stuff when they get angry, I've never thrown the controllers or smashed them. Usually played racing games with them. But hey your experience may and will vary and I've probably been really unlucky, I'm very unlucky in most aspects of my life so that might just be it and maybe gamesir is perfectly reliable and I got literally the only defective ones in the world 5 times in a row I may just be really unlucky
Call me crazy or doubt me, but I have never had a controller drift in my life except back in the early 2000s with the PlayStation 2 after years and years of use. A severe and obvious case. Maybe I’m just lucky? Maybe it’s just not gotten severe enough for me to notice?
Indeed, you might be one of the very few lucky ones that haven't experienced it but that doesn't mean it's not there. For some of us, it's a problem I've only had for this generation of consoles. I'm a casual gamer so I hardly 'abuse' my controllers like competitive gamers do and it's still an issue!
@@christophergardiner7372 I do I just don’t use the joy cons 😅😅 I have never even removed them from the system. I just bought a pro controller the same day😅
@@Marcheziora I’m sure😢😢😢 I’m not doubting the problems existence at all. Perhaps I play less intensive games? I certainly don’t play FPS games which may or may not maintain the life of my sticks who knows?
You’re not crazy or alone. Aside from my Switch joycon controllers, I’ve never had a controller drive. Despite competitively racing and shooting for almost 20 years, I’ve never dealt with it outside of with my joycons.
Should have been hall effect gens ago, Dreamcast had it. Saturn had it. I bought a Retro Fighters controller for Original Xbox / Switch / PC that will be my daily driver.
Don’t assume that just because it has Hall effect sensors sticks, that it won’t drift. Wood from beatemups complained that his Hall effect sticks drifted for him on another console.
I love that controller man I also don't mind a ps5 controller that has this in mind but I haven't come across any problems with my original ps5 controller.. But don't mind a mod one
I just bought it. But it has very very minimal stick drift out of the box. I guess that’s normal ? I have to say my elite 2 controller had like 12 deadzone settings on mw3 and this one I can keep it on 3 deadzone without drifting
I tried using the Back buttons on the controller, but my hands would shift downwards overtime, to the point where my palms are at the edge of the grips Im guessing either my hands are too big, or the controller’s smaller than the regular Xbox One controller
Still baffles my mind on how I can pick up an original xbox controller that has been played hundreds of hours and has no drift but a new xbox controller wont last a month.
@@subjectbigyElite 2 drifts also anyways. I’ve got 5 in various colors and they all drift. Just a limitation of the type of sticks they use, hence the point of this video.
@@subjectbigydon't listen to him it will probably be fine for a long time. The elite series 2 has the biggest problem with drift but I've had a project Scorpio controller since 2013 and haven't had issues but my elite 2 started drifting within 6 months
Impossibly lucky or don’t know how to check for it. If you play an FPS like Apex or CoD and turn your deadzone to 0 or off you’ll basically guaranteed get stick drift. Most games just have them set high by default but you lose a lot of control having such high deadzones. All 5 of my Elite 2(2 black, 1 white, 1 blue, 1 design lab) and my various normal Xbox one/ series controllers over the years drift under these conditions right out of the box. My GameSir T4 hasn’t yet after 2 months of hard use.
@@BassExpert666 yep, it’s commonly called “Anti Deadzone”. Google common anti deadzone/deadzone default settings for most games and it’ll point ya in the right direction. Some of the biggest offenders like Halo, Borderlands and Control have as much as 20-25% Anti Deadzone. Meaning the stick doesn’t do anything until you move the stick ~1/5 through it’s full range in a direction. That’s enough to hide even the worst drift.
Isn't the dual sense edge just a copy of the elite series 2 though? Like you can't actually change the thumbstick mechanism you just change the head like the elite controllers
My old Xbox 360 controllers never drifted. Then again, I only used them for about 2 or 3 years before switching to Xbox One/X/S controllers. Funny thing is, in my experience, it's the OFFICIAL controllers that drift. None of the 3rd party licenced controllers that I have, which includes the 360 controllers have developed drift. Weird. 🤔
Second I see wired....deals off. Xbox needs to allow these other companies to use their wireless standard. The average gamer does not want to use wired controllers in 2023. 99% of us aren't playing at EVO tournaments,we want clean wire free setups.
@@stevie-b not necessarily, 2.4ghz technology is just as fast if not faster than wired and 5ghz is faster than wired, most modern wireless mice are faster than their wired counterparts, the input delay on a standard xbox series controller while wired os exactly the same as when it's in wireless
@@SkyYukiGuy several studies back up my claim, there are even some of them on TH-cam. I think randomfrankp or someone similar to him made a video actually testing latency and a bunch of other stuff and found that a lot of wireless Logitech and razer mice were faster than most wired mice
I'll say this about every third-party Xbox controller: they're all useless without wireless. Microsoft is really stupid for locking that down, especially with the Hyperkin retro controllers.
😂 stick drift helps aim assist kick in.... I purposely run 0 dead zones on my elite V2 to get stick drift and let me tell you there are times on cod where I feel like I'm hacking with aim bot.... and apex legends well let's just say it's that strong if a player runs past my screen it rips towards them..
Meh the size of this controller is a huge downside. If you have bigger hands then you won’t have a good time using this controller. It’s based off a series s/x model and not the 1708 which is bigger
This is NOT a drift free controller. ThePhotoTechy has done reviews on it and his is drifting already. Other people I have read in comments have also had drifting issues.
Just goes to show exactly how far ahead of its time the Dreamcast was and it keeps getting proven over and over again as time passes. Absolutely insane!
Still had a terrible controller

THEY COULD HAVE (& WERE CAPABLE) of DOING THIS A LONG TIME AGO...,
BUT INSTEAD KEPT RAPING US 4 💰$ ON REPLACEMENT CONTROLLERS OVER THE YEARS.
It's not the first. Maybe first wired with hall sensors, but not the first.
mines got stick drift out of the box
What????
@@kaydawgy1999 yup
Not necessarily, I bought mine recently and I put my dead zones to 0 in apex legends and it had drift towards the left.
Sad to informe you but ps3 somo models used that still got drift
It too. My Xbox one x controller 3 months to start drifting. 😡
I'll say this about every third-party Xbox controller: they're all useless without wireless. Microsoft is really stupid for locking that down, especially with the Hyperkin retro controllers.
Should had been wireless, like what the hell..
😂 stick drift helps aim assist kick in.... I purposely run 0 dead zones on my elite V2 to get stick drift and let me tell you there are times on cod where I feel like I'm hacking with aim bot.... and apex legends well let's just say it's that strong if a player runs past my screen it rips towards them..
Ahhhh man, its wired?! Pass
Meh the size of this controller is a huge downside. If you have bigger hands then you won’t have a good time using this controller. It’s based off a series s/x model and not the 1708 which is bigger
Looks great but an obvious copy of 8bitdo's current controllers
Cmon Microsoft thats worse compared to what pS5 controller is offering 😅
Literally had the same controller and joycons since day one never had a problem. Joycon drift is cap!
This is NOT a drift free controller. ThePhotoTechy has done reviews on it and his is drifting already. Other people I have read in comments have also had drifting issues.
wired controller in 2023? what a shame
