The GameSir G7 Pro is a controller we reviewed last year for Xbox, PC & Mobile. It features Tri-Mode Connectivity, allowing for wired play for Xbox, 2.4Ghz wireless and wired play on PC, and Bluetooth for Android devices. Right now, you can get yourself the Walmart-exclusive Metal Blue version of this controller for $69.99 by purchasing it online directly from Walmart.
As described in our G7 Pro review…
[The GameSir G7 Pro] continues with that familiar Xbox controller layout and silhouette. You have the four face buttons, dual-analog sticks, D-pad, bumpers, triggers, menu, view, and share buttons arranged as you would see them on a standard Xbox controller. However, like the G7 SE, there are physical components in this controller not seen in your standard Xbox controller.
…
There is an “M” button on the front, which is used with the D-pad to control the master volume and game/chat balance of your connected wired headset. A wired headset can be connected to the 3.5mm jack at the bottom of the controller which sits next to a mic mute toggle button and a pairing button. On the back, you have a switch for toggling between 2.4Ghz and Bluetooth wireless.
The G7 Pro has four additional buttons, L4 and R4 paddle buttons on the back and L5 and R5 buttons near the triggers on the top. The rear paddle buttons are equipped with quick-latch switches. This allows you to lock these buttons down when they are not in use to avoid accidental or distracting presses. Each of the additional L4, L5, R4, and R5 buttons can be remapped to a standard controller button on the fly by using the “M” button.
Now what really makes the G7 Pro stand up as a pro-level controller is its high-end components. You have GameSir Mag-Res TMR thumb sticks, sporting a 1000 Hz polling rate, 4096 levels of joystick resolution, and a five-million cycle lifespan. You then have Hall Effect analog triggers, coupled with micro switch trigger stops. Throw in a mechanical micro switch D-pad and optical micro switch ABXY buttons and you have yourself a no-nonsense controller build.
The Walmart-exclusive Metal Blue version of the G7 Pro features a sleek metallic-looking body as its name suggests. By default, you have a smooth plastic finish for the grips, unlike the rubberized ones we experienced with last year’s review model. However, given the controller’s modular design, you are always free to purchase different variations of its various swappable components from GameSir’s accessory page here.
