They really need to take a very bad beat to accept they went too far and got to back-pedal, like they did after PS3's fail. Right now they are at the top of the mountain, witch is not a good place for them to listen. I wouldn't be surprised if official Xbox gamepads would have it first, and Dual Senses then come with it for PS6, or maybe even PS7. XD I saw your short about Snakebyte's gamepad, they look sick ! I live in Europe and T4K is way more expensive than in USA, so I was feeling I should wait as European brands are less expensive here. But my PowerA died some weeks ago and I really want a good controller to enjoy Starfield at launch, so I just decided to go for the T4K anyway. I should have it tomorrow. :) For sure Chinese floods will have catastrophic consequences on their productions too. And Beijing being way more into trying to hide reality than facing it is quite an additional issue. Also it would be a tremendous change in China's history if the cycle of Heaven wasn't respected, meaning these floods could likely come with huge governmental changes, and no one is really capable to guess who would take China's lead if CCP falls. Saying we are living very unpredictable times is an understatement.

Best settings would be 0 deadzone and 100% maximum, with in game outer maximum reduced and high sensitivity. These combined made a big difference for me, hoping true raw mode can be implemented or even a custom response curve given.

Hey that’s the 100% maximum setting on gamesir software. I’ve just made a video with some recommendations if you experience the aim issues like I mentioned. I recommend making the sticks deadzones 0 minimum and 100% maximum. If there’s drift at rest position and you don’t like it, use in game deadzones to avoid it. Also making the in game outer maximum deadzone smaller helped a lot for me. All these recommendations are if you feel aim to be off a bit.

I don't like this controller for FPS, the right joystick is very inconsistent like you pointed out. Even an OEM controller is better. Maybe they can fix that in a software update? I hope so.

Hey thanks for the comment bro, so I’m currently testing the G7 against this and will be making a video soon. Something that kinda helps is disabling deadzones and put the maximum deadzone to 100. Raw felt good but 100 maximum is a bit more consistent. I do hope a custom response curve option is available soon, as the initial movement feels a bit slow to me. Also I think the use of precision rings makes the issue more apparent in my case. I tried the precision tester and making a circle makes a skewed shape with raw mode. Every other review is positive of the controller so who knows if a firmware update with custom response curve will be available or not. Coz currently no one else seems to have any issues with the controller.

PowerA and PDP going to have to seriously think about this now. I’ll be getting the G7 soon to compare it against the SE for aiming. After using the SE going back to the Raikiri I feel it definitely must be my unit that has a fault.

Hey that sounds like the issue I had prior to the recent update 6.25. Are there any deadzone settings in FC24? Also is there a response curve adjustment? One thing could be how your sticks are calibrated, check gamepd tester and see how much % register you have at centre position. I’m about to release a video for adjusting stick drift, as mine got over 8-9% at rest after 60-70 hours use. In the video I’m explaining how we can centre the drift amount. It could be FC24 have a built in deadzone that’s not playing nicely with your stick’s centre position. Also check if the slow response in a particular direction only, as that could be a sign of drift on one direction.

So does that mean I can’t use my Red Infernos on the G7 SE?!

Best deadzone for gta??

If you need the gamesir nexus for deadzones then keep it where the stick register shows either 1% or less, my guess this would be around 4-5 number, hope this helps.

This controller is disappointing, i've had hopes for it...the squeaky sticks is one thing but this aiming problem, oh man i getting tired of these controllers, it's always a few things that "sabotage" a controller, but it's not a too bad starting, hope these 3rd parties will adapt and start making controllers with this type of sensors

So there’s definitely a way for Hall effects to replace the alps and favorunion sticks. I do hope gamesir give us response curve adjustment as well.

So someone who don’t like back buttons can actually still get this controller and don’t have to alter their grip. Still I feel they should’ve added trigger stops, as they are very sensitive. After 30 hours of use I feel the triggers have gone a bit softer, I do feel it every time I use a different controller.

@@Bloodysugar hey bro I get what you are saying, but tbh the drift at rest position is not a problem, specially if it’s only 3%-5%. Yes feels odd to have it but still not game breaking. Issues I’m seeing if with the software deadzones feeling inconsistent somewhat. My favourite controller for aim response curve is gambit and it uses polyshine sticks with probably 4-5% deadzone built in. Somehow victrix compensate for that with the response. I just got an update a few days ago on the fusion pro3, PowerA seems to have employed a different tactic, they disable deadzone when stick is moving and when placed at rest for a second it gets enabled, something I haven’t seen before. The centre position really depends on the spring and how heavy the plastic or steel stick module is, for instance my elite series 2 registers anywhere from 7-9% at rest at times even more then 10. The serious issue would be if you are moving the aim and it’s way different due to serious drift.
