Love my DualSense Edge controller, but it's a pain to keep connecting it via cable to use on the PC. So following one of @mrk reviews, I decided to pick up the GameSir G7 Pro, glad I did, it's a fantastic controller.

It has a decent weight to it and feels solid in the hands, the D-Pad feels a little squishy but otherwise works fine, I probably need to get used to the control sticks, they feel like they have a little to much travel to me. And I really like the dock, you can plug the wireless dongle into the bottom and then connect the dock to the PC so no messing around with inserting the dongle when I want to use the controller.

Only thing that would have been nice is if they'd supplied a case to go with the controller, but at £90 I guess the margins are a little to tight.
 
I use both dual sense and G7 Pro depending on the game, both are superb tbh, I have a lightweight cable ticked behind my monitor just for DS use so not a big faff for me now.
 
I got one a little while ago as my X-box controller started drifting, and I looked back at purchase history and realised my last two have only lasted a year each. Extremely pleased with it. I think it has a better feel than the Xbox controller.

The only gripe I have with it is that you can't disable the auto-off. When playing a game like GTA or Cyberpunk, I use the controller only when driving - and I find it often switching off if I spend a lot of time out of the car.

I had totally not spotted the dongle-in-dock option! I currently have the dock plugged into a powered USB hub (not connected to the PC). Next time I can be bothered to crawl behind the desk, I might change that.
 
Fixed the DPad, following something I saw on YT added 2x O-Rings to each of the 4 posts that the DPad slots into, the DPad now feels a little firmer and less floaty. Next need to work on the Nexus settings and calibrate the sticks a little better.
 
Which orings did you order? I have not touched my dpad yet but anything that makes things better is a good mod.
 
I don have the pro I have the gamesir g7 se. Had it ages. Anyone want to try one of the gamesir controllers but not have to folk out £100 - Its a superb controller and taken quite a beating playing Mortal Kombat and Streets of Rage on it. No signs of Stick drift or anthing like that.
