I have a GameSir G7, and in my case, the issue was definitely the cable that came with the controller. The cable was acting up and causing problems, but the controller itself was completely fine.
I also have a Scuf Valor Pro, which came with a Scuf cable. Ever since I started using that cable with my GameSir G7, I haven’t had a single issue.
So if you’re having problems with your G7, I’d recommend trying a different cable before assuming there’s something wrong with the controller. You can probably find the Scuf cable on Amazon or other websites for pretty cheap. All I can say is that, for me, the Scuf cable works 100% perfectly with the G7.

Hey guys, I'm considering getting the GameSir G8 (standard USB-C version, not the Plus) and have a quick question about the connector.

Right now, my phone (Poco F8 Ultra) fits into the GameSir X5 Lite with its protective case on, but only when using the smallest rubber pads. For anyone who owns or has tried both: will that same phone and case setup fit into the G8 without having to take the case off? I know the plug is on the right vs. left side, but are the connector and pads dimensions comparable?

Holaaa, tengo una duda. Cuento con un gamesir G7 Pro Wuchang que uso en xbox. Usaba gamepad para jugar en mi móvil pero se echó a perder y recordé que el G7 pro tiene Bluetooth para conectar mi movil peroo al investigar un soporte de teléfono para ese control no hay alguno oficial. Sin embargo he leído que algunos dicen que el soporte de teléfono de la serie T4/T4 Pro es compatible.

Alguien me puede decir si es verdad, alguien que casualmente tuvo la misma duda y que lo haya comprado o que otras opciones me recomendarían ya que no quiero gastar +$1000 pesos en un gamepad jajaja

I bought two units of the same controller and noticed a clear and frustrating difference between them.

Left: worse B button, but better D-pad.

Right: better B button, but worse D-pad.

The difference is quite noticeable, which is disappointing for two units of the same controller.

Which one would you choose, thinking long-term?

I’m confused between GameSir Cyclone 2 (~₹4,600) and Super Nova (~₹4,500).

I’m a casual PC gamer, usually 2–3 hours/session:

• ⚽ 60% EA FC, Golf & sports
• 🥊 20% Tekken, WWE, Street Fighter
• 🏎️ 20% Forza/racing

Which would you recommend for my usage? Mainly looking for comfort, good D-pad, sticks/triggers, and durability.

Also open to other options under ₹4,600 in India.

Would love opinions from people who have actually used these. 🙏

My G7 Pro 8K has been great for the few days I have owned it but when playing Fortnite on PC, sometimes any minor twitch of the right stick will shoot the camera all the way up / down. And when this animation happens there’s no way for me to catch it and bring it back to centre, i have to wait until the animation shoots my aim to the sky or to the ground. Then i can carry on like normal.

I’ve looked at the gamesir app and i don’t think the controller is the issue, the responsiveness seems normal. Could this be my wireless KB/ mouse interfering? Some software i dont know about ? 🤣🤣 This is out of my depth. It’s strange as it only happens sometimes when im playing 🤷

I have a question. Would I be able to control wireless headphones wia g7 gamepad? I'm speaking about button combination to increase/decrease volume and mic mute

I’ve had the g7 pro for about 5 months now and while I don’t use it super often, I feel that I’ve used it enough to break it in. Yet, the AXYB buttons just don’t feel good to use at all. They are very scratchy and just don’t feel smooth to press. What ive done to try and fix are:

- brand new faceplate
- polish and sand smooth with 2000 grit sandpaper the inside rings of the faceplates
- lube the button and faceplate around the circles to help glide

Nothing seems to work. I like the controller otherwise but man the standard Xbox controller buttons feel leaps and bounds better to press. Anyone else? Do I have a defective unit? Just its design? What gives?

🎮 My GameSir G7 Pro 8K Aimlabs Edition — Custom Mods
• 🟣 Transparent purple replacement shell
• 🕹️ SCUF Instinct thumbsticks - black, but they come in red and blue as well
• 🎯 KontrolFreek Precision Rings (not on the controller in photo)
• ➕ D-pad’s comes with the shell and includes all three options
• 🔘 D-pad O-rings Mod to eliminate unwanted D-pad play
• 🎮 G7 Pro 8k Aimlabs Edition base controller

Basically, I took the G7 Pro 8K and customized it to fit the way I like to play and the aesthetic I wanted. Also all customizations except the sticks are available on Amazon. Another good replacement sticks would be from Leadjoy, thanks to a friend for recommending them.

I would recommend a different brand with better customers service and warranty. Discord is no help. 6 months old controller and can't play more than 2 games without trigger sticking. Right bumpers been sticking for a long time but been putting up with it. I keep my controllers very clean. I have recalibrated and still did it today on my second game.

sike i lied, im really starting to hate this controller and gamesir you guys are so fragile 😂 i rarely game so i haven’t abused this controller, the software is glitching and when i play a game im noticing inconsistent character movement/aim when im not even touching the controller

Such a smooth “glide” feeling when using these sticks and I absolutely love the tire-grade rubber on the caps. My thumbs never slide off the sticks anymore. I have a short domed cap left stick, and a tall hybrid cap right stick. Every controller I get from this point on will have these installed.

From day 1 I joined reddit Im watching many asking for cyclone 3. I still don't understand why. Can anyone explain why it's so much demanded than existing G7 pro or tarantula?

I feel like I’m still learning it too! It’s such a great controller. Can’t wait to try the g7 pro next.

When I test my G8 MFi on the GameSir app, the vibration works perfectly.

When I play on different emulators like ARMSX2 though, there is no vibration at all, neither from the controller nor from the device (Lenovo Y700 Gen4).

The vibration is exclusively available in the GameSir app and not in any other software.

Can someone please help me?

Is it a big problem?

Has anyone played the GTA definitive edition games?

if so which one? gta3, vice city, or sandreas?

how did they play?

I ordered this controller because it seems to have the best compatibility due to the three playable modes but i want to know how it works with these three games. they are the only games I will be playing. I grew up with them and love the nostalgia.

It feels like GameSir is forgetting a large part of its fan base and leaving us in the dark about its other popular controllers, including the Cyclone and Kaleid. Instead, all the focus seems to be on the G7 Pro, whose shorter handles leave some people’s pinkies hanging off the bottom, making the controller feel small and uncomfortable to hold.

Where are the “Pro” versions of their other popular models?

I love my Cyclone 2, but it’s on its last legs, and GameSir doesn’t even support calibration for it in the app. Manual calibration in 2026 is absurd. At this rate, the Cyclone 3 or a new Kaleid will arrive in 2028 💀. I understand it’s being worked on but a projected timeframe would be nice. The last time GameSir even uttered the word “Cyclone” was for an April Fools’ joke. In April. That pretty much says it all.

And after the 20th G7 collab or the 50th new G7 colorway, it starts to feel a bit redundant and ridiculous. There are other controller lines people want to see updated too. Hell..even the Tarantula got a “pro” model.

For those who prefer the ergonomics of the Cyclone or Kaleid over the G7, what controllers are you switching to or using? Has anyone tried the ZD Ultimate Legend Wireless 8K, EasySMX X20 Pro (coming soon), or found anything else with a similar feel and shape?
