Gamesir G7 SE

Sadly it's a downside of the current analog stick technology used by most controllers, but there are some controllers which use newer 'hall effect' sticks which are less susceptible to this issue. The GameSir G7 SE for example is a 3rd party Xbox controller which uses hall effect sticks.

Hi Ryan lovely to share names! My controller is a Gamesir G7 se I’m not My headphones,krysenix PG2 (sorry for having to make you take time out of your day on New Year’s Eve to do this I just really want it fixed, happy new years and I hope you had a merry Christmas)

I’ve been alternating between the 8bitdo ultimate for Xbox (was down to 20$ for a few week on Amazon) and the Gamesir G7 se (with Hall effects

Joysticks). Unfortunately they are both wired. The 8bitdo feels better and has an amazing app interface with mappable everything, vibration settings, tigger vibrations, multiple profiles, programmable back buttons and feels great in the hand if your an adult,, but it’s doesn’t have hall effect joysticks. So, I’m sure how they’ll be in a few months. The g7 se is good and has Hall effects but doesn’t feel as solid at the 8bitdo and is a bit more expensive at 45-50$ at most retailers. If you can find the 8bitdo ultimate for under 30$ I highly recommend it. It just sucks that there’s no decent wireless alternatives at a sub 100$ price point.

I'm in the same boat as most of you on this thread. On my 360, my controllers lasted way longer than any of the Series X Controllers have. I have only had to replace my original 360 controllers maybe twice since I owned them and that is after numerous Call of Duty titles and Halo playing on them.

On the Series X, my original Black one that came with my system started to get stick drift about 3 months in. I purchased a Blue one when those colors came out...and that about 3-4 months before it got stick drift. Then I bought another Blue one. That too got stick drift after about 4 months or so. Then I got a Red one. That too started to get stick drift after about 4 months.

I have repaired the black one and the blue one once before, but the other stick started to drift on both so now its a mute point.

I'm sick of having to shell out $40-$50 on a new controller every 4-6 months just so I can play on my console.

I ended up buying 2 new GameSir G7 SE Wired Controllers from Amazon for $45 each and they have been fantastic!

Super long cords really help and these have the Hall Effect Joysticks/Triggers so I'm hoping this will be the end of Stick drift for me and me wasting money on Controllers that don't last.

I honestly wish I didn't have to resort to buying 3rd party products just so I can play the console that I love.

Microsoft, please fix your Controller issue!!

Thanks for confirming this info, and no worries!

This unfortunately might be a compatibility issue between all the different brands involved. Do you have the GameSir app installed on your console? This is where you can perform diagnostic tests, update the firmware, etc. I know PDP controllers require the PDP Hub app to be able to adjust the volume on a connected headset.

I can’t seem to find any possible way to contact Krysenix or any support resources for the headset, but this is the official support website for Gamesir:

You can message them or submit a request there, or send an email to cs @ gamesir.hk (remove the spaces) - they may be able to advise further.

If it helps, this is the information page for your controller:
