GameSir G7 PRO Issue

Hi All,

Just got myself the above Controller for the PC. Installed the Nexus app and it is not detecting the controller... Anyone got any ideas? Tried the tips i found on google to no avail.

Thanks in advance

You need the "gamesir connect" app Not the other one

Installed connect but it never listed the g7 pro?

Or am i missing something lol.

Connect? It's Nexus you want not Connect!

As it's a licensed controller it needs to initiate app mode so with the controller connected press a button and th app will then detect app mode and initiate. You cannot leave the app else the controller drops back to idle mode and needs to reconnect in app mode again.

No, the connect app has some controllers listed, but not the g7 pro. Tried to click a random one but nothing happens!!!! Gonna return this at this rate ffs.....

You've got them both installed? One should list it, if it's not connect then nexus

Check my edit, licensed controllers have a process in Nexus to detect in a special app mode.

Could it be anything to do with Steam overriding something?

Yeah with it connected to the PC wiggling a stick or pressing any button with the app open initiates app mode to connect to the controller

Ok, that is def not happening...... Most it does is pressing a selects the language box lol

So here is the typical connection process I go through, I assume this is the same method you are using? The switch on the back is set to the right most position by the way.
