Decent game controller?
- Thread starter Energize
- Start date
Hope mine arrives early next week, I'm away for a week after next weekend and want to get some game time in!
The one thing I don't like about GameSir is the home button ring LED, it cannot be turned off and when playing in the dark on an OLED, it's a distraction:
The LEDs can be turned off (or customised) on the G7 Pro 8K.

I got the Steam machine notication a few weeks ago, and it is for the 2TB one...not even with a controller. Hard pass.
Why did you join the list for that model then lol, mine was for the cheapest one with no controller as that was the only one I was likely to ever get.
Just come from the future and people are still discussing it.

I joined all of them!
Oh I didn't realise you could do that lol. That makes far more sense.
You tempted to grab one now they've released them in 'regular' colours?
On the topic of the 8k, if anyone has one and doesn't want to use the Gamesir software or wants more customisation when it comes to stick curves there's now a web based app (https://gs.evua.cc/#/connect) built by Eyth (https://x.com/Eythavon).
Eyth is one of the main guys behind the Hyperstrike (now Heliumstrike) 8k boards that fit in the PS4 shell. The current Hyperstrike has the lowest stick latency of any controller currently available - but the Hyperstrike software is such a joy to use if you want to go into the finer details of customising a controller or sharing layouts/configs between other users.
It was great to see him build something similar for the G7 Pro 8k (and I think it works with the Tarantula 8k too).
Actually am tempted now because I had a email from Steam this morning saying my controller order has been cancelled and refunded due to an address issue, which is funny because the Steam Frame arrived to the exact same address on my account.... I think they didn't have enough stock and sent out emails willy nilly and had to cancel some peoples orders. I have raised a support request asking wtf so will see what they say but now you gotta go back on the reservation so unless they sort it internally then I have zero desire to wait and order another piece of steam hardware.
Will likely just keep the dual sense edge replica and my current G7 Pro but mod the Pro so the LED is dimmer I think as it is a fantastic controller with amazing sticks otherwise.
