G7 Pro 8K PC

The G7 Pro 8K feels amazing to them, though the controller is a bit too small for their hands.

Uses the G7 Pro 8K as their main controller for modern games, keeping a separate pad for retro and platformers.

Finds the G7 Pro 8K's d-pad so bad that platformers are almost unplayable, so they switch to another controller for those games.

After using the G7 Pro for a while and then the 8K version, they find the G7 Pro 8K clearly better and worth the small extra cost for PC gaming.

Set up identically to their regular G7 Pro, the G7 Pro 8K's sticks felt slower and odd around center, almost like a small built-in deadzone, noticeable in CoD.

After a week, the G7 Pro 8K's D-pad feels better than the revised G7 Pro's and they haven't noticed issues, though it still isn't for D-pad-heavy players.

“The dpad is bad, but the g7 pro 8k kinda feel better than the g7 pro revision dpad, idk what it is. Been using it for a week and couldnt even tell there were any issues.”

Owns the G7 Pro 8K and an 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless and recommends the G7 for its excellent TMR sticks, running it at 1 kHz.

Finds the Aimlabs G7 Pro 8K pretty good overall, but still usually reaches for their Vader 5 Pro.

“I have the aim labs G7 and it’s pretty good overall but I still usually default to the Vader pro 5.”

Moved from an 8BitDo Ultimate to the G7 Pro 8K and recommends both; the G7 is more comfortable and has mechanical rather than membrane buttons.

“8bitdo Ultimate Wireless was my previous controller and now I have the G7 Pro 8K. I definitely recommend both. Main differences are the shape (G7P more comfortable) and the buttons”

Loves the tactile microswitches on their G7 Pro 8K, so much that an Xbox controller's membrane buttons now feel bad.

“I love the tactility and feedback from microswitches on my Gamesir G7 Pro 8K. I tried to use an Xbox controller again recently and I hated the membrane feel.”

First impressions of the G7 Pro 8K on arrival: the D-pad is poor, the charging dock rattles inside and the sticks are as loose as their Cyclone 2's. Likes the rest of it but plans to compare it with a Vader 5 Pro.

“Anyways the dpads garbage, charging dock has a strange rattling sound inside, and sticks are just as loose as the Cyclone 2 even tho I've read multiple times that it wasn't :(”

Owns the Steam Controller and the G7 Pro 8K, and returned a Vader 5 Pro over loose tension rings. Recommends the G7 Pro 8K over the regular G7 because it gets native Steam Input for its extra buttons.

“After using SC and G7 Pro 8k, I'd say unless you have some specific requirement for those trackpads or 4back paddles, then go with the G7 8K, not the regular G7.”

With 19×10 cm hands, much prefers the smaller shape of the G7 Pro 8K to the Vader 5 Pro. Praises GameSir's customer service and sees the choice between the two as mostly about shape and button layout.

“My hand size is 19x10cm, and I much prefer the smaller shape of the G7 Pro 8K. It would be best if you have the chance to try them before buying.”

Regrets buying the G7 Pro 8K and now uses a Vader 5 Pro, which suits their hand better, lets them lower stick tension for tracking in Apex and has a better D-pad. Plans to sell the G7.

“Im using VP5 pro now buy g7 pro 8k and regret for me vp5 pro got better shape for hand I like low tension ring for fps games like apex better track people”

Owns the G7 Pro 8K and a Leadjoy Xeno Plus and prefers the GameSir for its build quality and ergonomics, though the Leadjoy's app is better for heavy customising.

Owns the G7 Pro 8K and loves everything about it except the missing trigger vibration and, above all, its small, narrow size.

“I already own the G7 8k, I love everything about it except the lack of trigger vibration (not a big deal) and but especially the small/narrow size of the the G7”

This player finds the G7 Pro 8K PC fantastic, with a D-pad that finally feels good.

“I finally got my G7 Pro 8k PC version and it's been fantastic. D pad feels good now and everything else is great.”

Owning both, this player much prefers the GameSir G7 Pro 8K over the new Steam Controller.

“I have the 8k and the SteamController 2 and generally much prefer the 8k.”

A G7 Pro 8K owner finds its back paddles stiff, making jump and crouch spam difficult.

“I have G7 pro 8k and I feel its difficult to spam jump crouch on g7 as back paddles are stiffer.”

A new G7 Pro 8K owner is really happy with it, though they wish it had adaptive triggers.

“I just purchased a Gamesir G7 Pro 8k and I'm really happy with it”

A buyer of the G7 Pro 8K Nioh edition found the printed design very poor quality.

“I bought this edition on AliExpress through a reseller, and the print quality is very poor, it looks like 360p resolution.”

A user is returning the G7 Pro 8K after two units wouldn't exceed 1000Hz wired.

“Returning the g7 pro 8k because I have tried two and neither will go higher than 1000hz wired.”

After about 50 hours, a user finds the G7 Pro 8K Aimlabs edition's D-pad much better than the original G7 Pro's.

“The aimlabs controller addressed the issue and after 50ish hours of use its definitely better.”

A user loved the G7 Pro 8K but returned it because it felt too small.

“if you were pc only I would say get the 8k hands down best & fastest controller on here.”

Replacing a KK3 with the G7 Pro 8K for online play, an owner is really happy and finds it really well built.

“I had a kk3 and I replaced it with a gamesir g7 pro and I’m really happy.”

A user loves the GameSir G7 Pro 8K and its dongle wireless for about $100.

“I have the tarantula 8k (ps4 controller feel) and the g7 pro 8k (Xbox controller feel) and love them.”

A user had to replace their GameSir G7 Pro 8K that only ran 1000 Hz wired and says G7 Pro quality control varies unit to unit.

“I had to replace my G7 Pro 8k Aimlabs cause it only did 1000hz wired but on the dongle it worked on 8000hz”

A user's GameSir G7 Pro 8K had a crooked button from the start, though it functions fine.

“Same exact thing on my champions edition G7 Pro 8k. Noticed it immediately. Functions fine”

A shooter player can't recommend the GameSir G7 Pro 8K enough: very low stick latency, four extra buttons and deep software customisation, making a DualSense Edge feel crippled by comparison.

“Can't reccomend the Gamesir G7 Pro 8K enough for shooters.”

A player didn't like the GameSir G7 Pro 8K because its sticks were too loose and no app setting could fix it.

“I did not like the Gamesir g7 pro 8k. Sticks were too loose for me and no settings in the Gamesir app could fix it”

An owner calls the GameSir G7 Pro 8K a great controller but notes it has no trigger vibration.

“Just to clarify for anyone that may read this, the G7 Pro 8K doesn’t have trigger vibration. I say this because I own it haha. Great controller though!”

The G7 Pro 8K caused them pain in long gaming sessions.

“The G7 pro 8k caused me some pain too, triggered by long gaming sessions”

Bought both the G7 Pro 8K and Vader 5 Pro; their hands cramped after a while on the G7 Pro 8K.

“I bought both the G7 Pro 8k and the Vader 5 Pro, and I found the Vader a lot more comfortable. My hands were cramping after a while on the G7.”

Finds the G7 Pro 8K a great controller with amazing shoulder buttons, but small for their hands with mediocre back buttons.

“G7 pro 8k:great controller kinda small for my hands and back buttons are meh but shoulder buttons are amazing”

Moved from two Razer 8K controllers to the G7 Pro 8K; build quality is lower but it costs a third as much, and they adapted to having only two back buttons.

“The quality is less then the razer but I can buy 3 gamesirs for the price of the razer 8k pro.”

A PC player sensitive to stick linearity names the G7 Pro 8K one of their favourite controllers.

“I've used a range of controllers but my favorites have been the G7 Pro 8K and a normal overclocked Dualsense with JS13 Pros.”

Went back from the G7 Pro 8K to the standard G7 Pro because the 8K felt inconsistent, even at 8-bit and 1K polling.

“I had the 8K too, but I went back to the standard G7 Pro. I just couldn't get along with the 8K's inconsistency—even when I set it to 8-bit and 1K polling.”

Really likes the G7 Pro 8K and recommends it over the regular G7 Pro for PC players.

“I really like both the ZD UL (black version) and G7 Pro 8K.”

Very happy with their new G7 Pro 8K; software is far better than Razer's.

“just bought a Gamesir G7 Pro 8k recently, I'm very happy with it so far but too early to attest durability. very good software at least, far better than razor”

Owns the G7 Pro 8K and prefers it: maps keyboard and mouse even in XInput, screenshot button, better software, dimmable light.

“I have both, amazing controllers, imo the G7 is better, you can map keyboard and mouse buttons even in xinput mode”

Liked their G7 Pro 8K for a couple of months but it then developed multiple issues; now seeking a warranty replacement.

“I switched from my elite series 2 to a gamesir g7 pro 8k. I liked it a lot for a couple months but the last couple it's been developing multiple issues.”

Moved from an Elite Series 2 to the G7 Pro 8K and calls it the best controller; responsive top buttons that are hard to hit by accident.

“You gotta get a gamesir g7 pro 8k. The top buttons are much better, much more responsive and you won’t accidentally hit them with extra pressure.”

The G7 Pro 8K responds quicker with lower latency and looser sticks for fast movements, but it is less comfortable than the Vader 5 Pro and the d-pad is bad.

“The 8k g7 has quicker response, lower latency, looser sticks for quick movements, not as comfortable and the dpad is butt.”

After returning a Vader, their black G7 Pro 8K worked with Steam and the Xbox launcher with no issues and the GameSir software is easy, though the sticks feel loose next to the Elite 2.

“The G7 Pro 8k worked with Steam and the Xbox launcher without any issues.”

Their G7 Pro 8K Aimlabs edition is so good, the best controller they have had.

“Gamesir I have that one aimlabs and it’s so good. The best controller I’ve had honestly”

The G7 Pro 8K's tech and features feel really good, but it was so small that after a day they went back to a PS4 controller.

“Just got the G7 Pro 8k. The tech and features feel really good... But it's really small.”

Owning the G7 Pro 8K but no other controller to compare, they like its clean all-black look with no needless RGB and the included dock.

“I have the g7 pro 8k but haven't tried any other controller to compare.”

Their regular G7 Pro has sloppy face buttons, but the G7 Pro 8K is flawless, premium and feels great, beating many controllers.

“My normal G7 pro has the issues. My g7 pro 8k is flawless and much better.”

Moving from the Elite Series 2, the G7 Pro 8K is a bit smaller and lighter, they don't miss the four paddles, and it is even more comfortable for them.

“It fitted my hands very nicely and id say its even more comfortable than elite for me.”

The G7 Pro 8K is the best controller they have used, for about $80.

“For me the Gamesir G7Pro 8k is the best controller I’ve ever used”

Owning the G7 Pro 8K, they warn not to buy it for the d-pad, especially for fighting games, but the software has been stable and they like everything around it.

“don't buy it for the dpad”

They love the G7 8K and its raw stick mode feels better, but the shape feels awkward with its grip angle and smaller handles.

“I have the g7 8k as well. I love it but I don’t like the shape.”

Works with the dongle on a Mac mini for GeForce Now: noticeably faster, Forza plays amazingly, and the sticks feel amazing.

“I went ahead and got the G7 Pro 8k. It works with the dongle and it's noticeably faster than the Stadia controller.”

The build feels like a kid's toy next to the Vader 5 Pro.

“The G7 pro build is like kid toy comparing to the vader 5 pro.”

Way better than their Elite controller, with no stick drift.

“The pro 8k is way better than my elite controller.”
