Guys, you DO NOT need to activate co pilot. Just open your game with your g7 and then simply turn on your wireless controller with the headset. You get the audio, but you dont get the additional input potential of the wireless controller.

@@maikelstapper4347hey bro so I’ve noticed that calibration of the triggers can vary from controller to controller, my G7 is ever so slightly different to G7se. I keep the minimum to 5 in nexus and max 90 with hair triggers on, it that’s coz I like testing my fingers on the triggers and if I use anything less than 5 minimum, then I get false trigger presses. Also I’m using 5 min in the game settings as well which tbh can be set to 0 as well, I just keep it that way so when I change controllers I don’t have to change that as well. So your preferred trigger settings might be a bit different to mine, you might be able to keep less than 5 minimum in nexus and have no false presses and that’ll give you a better trigger response time compared to mine.

Thanks for this and your attention to detail -I'll be updating this tonight and trying it out in Urkikstan :)

Hey so response wise the Gambit would match the G7 and has Favorunion sticks, I recently covered the internal of the sticks in my Ksilver sticks video. Gambit will have a built in deadzoe of around 5% and that can be an issue. For me a true 0 deadzone is must from now on, as I've encountered a bug in MW3 multiplayer, video coming on it soon. So personally I'm only using the G7se, EswapX, Stealth Ultra. I've just started uing the Razer Wolverine Chroma V2 for its review but don't think it'll make it for my daily. If you wish to add resistance you can try precision rings, I use them every now and then to get used to new controller feel. I personally prefer quick initial movement but don't like the tension fall of towards the edges, so precision rings can help in getting used to a controller.

Hey man so Co pilot is a solution for when you use 1000hz on G7 and G7se as they lose headphone jack capability. Having another controller in copilot will allow you to have audio from a spare controller whilst using the 1000hz as well. For racing I’m not sure if the game is applying a minimum deadzone and if it does you’ll definitely need to disable the deadzones in the nexus software. When I use to play racing games I had this habit of pushing the left stick all the way forward and then turn right or left on the actual thumbstick gate, helped me not pushing the stick and letting go, if you wish to do the same then raw mode might help as well.

@J-cz7yv

5 ай бұрын

Yeah I don’t think you need to turn on copilot necessarily. I have headphone plugged into my original Xbox controller and still have audio/mic working fine while using the g7SE in 1000hz. One thing that might happen is you have to move the thumb stick every 10 minutes or so to keep the controller from auto turning off. Guess co pilot probably fixes that but if you have stick drift then you don’t have to worry about that.

Amazing

Hey Photo Tech love your videos! So I got a pretty broad question. I'm in the market for a new controller right now. Have the elite series 2 But the input delay on my series X is just a little bit too much for me. And I'm really intrigued about potentially getting a controller with hall effect joysticks. Because stick drift seems to be an old friend of mine.😂 And also all I play is call of duty like you! Right now between the Turtle Beach ultra, The G7 SE and and Snakebite Pro without factoring in price which controller would recommend for proformance?

@thephototechy

6 ай бұрын

So not gonna lie my G7se is seeing the most game time currently because of the 1000hz, there’s this micro control you get when sniping with it and recoil control. Also the stealth ultra has baked in deadzones which feels a bit larger to me than what snakebyte has, if turtlebeach gave the option for truly removing the deadzones, then I’d say stealth ultra could’ve been the go to, but if you can’t go without 4 back buttons then stealth would be the only option, just remember the best performance will be wired to the console. I do feel like I paid so much for stealth for features I don’t use like the screen and the wireless, and it seems turtlebeach isn’t catering to the competitive gamer with those built in deadzones. The reason I’ve kept my ultra is due to the strange wonky resolution on my unit, where my down register is .5 times larger than above, really makes is so easy to control vertical recoil 😂. Snakebyte is a solidly built controller but they have gone their own stick shape and height is longer, so kontrolfreeks is not a good option. I like to have the galaxies on every controller so I don’t have to get used to different sticks every time I switch controller. If you are not using kontrolfreeks and you don’t need any Dpad input bound to the back buttons, then snakebyte is an amazing controller, also I think it’s the best claw grip controller for me. My claw days are behind me but every now and then when I want to play claw for the 20 mins I can 😂 I use snakebyte. I think all of these controller are actually amazing, we have to decide which one is the best for our needs. Gamesir is doing a lot of experimental things and I feel like supporting that, it shows with the feature set they’ve given and how one can mess things up a bit changing calibration and stuff. snakebyte is going for a workhorse strong type where it’s basic but works perfectly nothing added and no software to mess it up, it might be the reason the controller feels very responsive as it’s not dealing with different profiles and what not. Turtlebeach on the other hand has gone flashy options with good performance but definitely not the ultimate performance, I honestly hope they make a version without the screen wired only and keep everything else the same but no baked in deadzones, that could be the ultimate controller for us, but the whole anti drift thing with people wanting complete dead centre position on sticks, which can only be achieved with some minimum baked in deadzones.

So in my testing the best possible audio on Xbox is from the elite series 2, followed by ROG Raikiri and then EswapX. Every other controller feels like not having the full dynamic range of the audio. Turtlebeach recon in signature sound is ok but when you try it agains even the standard series controller you notice the difference. This is only with epos H6 open headset, if you use a lower impedance headset the difference isn’t that much, but the elite series 2 and Raikiri are like 85% of what the Astro mixamp can do. Having another G7 or SE can be a good solution and I need to check how well it’ll work. Also I’m about to release my audio latency video on Xbox with some shocking results and going forward I’ll be testing audio latency from the controllers,as a lot of people use the headset plugged in their controllers. Thanks for the brilliant idea for testing another controller, I might do that with the Raikiri as it has built in deadzones and a really good audio.

I was trying to get a feel of G7se vs edge so did the setup where the gamedac was connected to both so I didn’t have to change headset every time. Whilst playing I joked with my brother about feeling sound giving more hints on PS5 vs seriesx, that’s what made me do the tests and honestly was shocked at the results. I’ve since then changed some stuff on my Xbox setup and it’s truly made a huge difference for me.

Hey so any Xbox replacement thumbstick top works, I bought the cheapest one so could find and they fit the shaft of the module easily. The Xbox replacement ones will need calibration once installed and they bring the resolution down a bit, but will make the controller feel more responsive. Co pilot is a way to get audio from the different controller as 1000hz disables the headphone jack, so if you have another audio solution like a wireless headset or a usb one, then Co pilot is not needed. Someone also mentioned remote play as well that can give audio through the phone.

im typically used to the elite 2 4 buttons for my gaming but im looking for a replacement. i saw the fusion pro 3. are you able to map LS and RS to the back buttons? and would getting both G7 controllers be a better option and just sacrificing the extra two buttons?

Hey man so yes FP3 can have LS click and RS click mapped to rear, but unlike elite you won’t be able to disable the stick buttons in the accessories app. I do really like the FP3 for its in hand feel, but aiming wise it’ll feel a bit hyper responsive and twitchy, I do use higher than usual deadzones of 6-7% on FP3 personally. Sacrificing 2 extra back buttons really depends on you, if you think you can perform with just 2 back buttons, then I’d say G7 and G7se in 1000hz do feel really special to aim with. But not having the 1000hz is not a huge deal. I’ve been working on a video of Elite S2 vs Stealth ultra and every time I start using the elite, it frustrates me so much, coz the sticks slop feels the worst on my series 2 compared to any other controller in my collection. But checking Amazon showed more than 2000 units sold combined of elite and core in the last month so a lot of people love that controller. I’m honestly thinking of having standard Xbox modules installed in mine so I can use the controller. Another thing is the audio on elite is the best in my experience, it’s something other controllers can’t match even the stealth ultra. Do you have any issues with stick slop on your elite? Mine has the slop and a very distinct wall with the slop which kinda feels awkward to quickly move the stick.

Also the test meant to show the improvement made to G7se with the 1000hz and the difference is so minimal but there, also the best improvement is consistency, xbox controllers in my test can show 8 frames response as well, but then they’ll also show a 10 frame as well. I’ll be making a video comparing other controllers with the G7se and will show a lot more tests in that video.

Even if we take my results for instance, having a difference of 1 frame only means 4.16ms but we as gamers do feel that. Imagine Xbox controllers can do a very quick response of 7 frames but then there is an 11 frame response as well which brings the experience down. Also G7se in 250 Is on the slower side of controllers, many others I tested didn’t show 11 frames at all even though they are only 250hz. Me more thing are the HE sticks as well, G7se has a higher resolution sticks doing .56 level increments, compared to stealth ultra which is doing 1.3 level increment, so it could be the higher resolution at 250hz was a bit slower to respond. This potentially could be the reason I didn’t like the G7se with its first firmware. 1000hz has definitely made the G7se an amazing performer, also don’t forget the G7 either, I’ll be making a video comparing the G7 with the SE in 1000hz coz the normal G7 is performing really well as well.

Bro Gambit has some of the best sticks but there are some built in deadzones. I personally thing Gambit works best with 2 back buttons attachment as the 4 back buttons can be a bit difficult to use properly. Triggers hands down Gambit wins for sure, but they have to be adjusted properly. Aiming wise I’d say G7se will have the edge in 1000hz on Xbox, in 250hz G7se would definitely not be as responsive as the Gambit. I haven’t tried these on the pc, and Gambit can be overclocked to 500hz though manual overclocking method, where G7se will give you 500hz on windows10 and 1000hz on windows11. I just made a video on Ksilver modules where I showed the Gambit modules as well. Personally I’d go with the G7se, but only if 1000hz is available. Also G7se will give you the ability to play with the centre point of the sticks, and even use Xbox replacement ones from scuf, doing this changes the response a bit as well. I’d say if you can get a really good deal on the Gambit then it makes sense as its a solid controller, specially if you play with in game deadzones of around 4% as the Gambit has those built in, so you just disable your in game to 0. The BFG for Xbox just been released and I want to check it out, but I’m a bit hesitant getting it coz of 125hz poling rate. Currently I buy the controllers that I can use and make reviews so not sure on that one.

Thank you so much for the answer. I totally agree with you. Do you think Gamesir will come up with a solution so that you can use headsets even when playing with 1000hz? I'm also interested in checking out BFG, but with a polling rate of 125hz, I'm also hesitant@@thephototechy

Hey for the standard gamesir sticks you’ll need ps4/ps5 ones, or you could get a replacement plastic Xbox stick and calibrate with it to use xbox ones. Using the Xbox sticks will make the controller a bit more responsive as it reduces the active area a bit.

I’ll show my results in the upcoming video, the issue is with Xbox usb audio and not the device itself. I’d say don’t use Dolby access app at all and windows sonic, only use stereo output which has the least latency but still not what other devices can do.

Do you think it’s best to turn raw mode on or off with 1000 hz?

@thephototechy

6 ай бұрын

Hey raw mode is still more snappier as the inputs register are a bit higher at every level. So if you controller sticks are loose like mine where I have 2-3% register at rest with raw mode off and 3-5% register with raw mode on, then keeping it off would give us the ability to run lower minimum deadzones. So we need to balance things out where we feel truly connected to the aim, so let’s say my screen setup and play style mean I need a 2% deadzone with raw mode off to get that perfect aim feel and not floaty, for you it’ll be a little different. I did had to try and find my sensitivity again on the controller after the 1000hz update. Definitely play around with both but I’d recommend try raw off with a lower minimum deadzone as well, coz prior to the 1000hz I felt the sticks needed a lot more input to feel snappier, hence raw mode worked. Hope this helps.

Hey so for me hall effect sticks feel slightly different, specially that initial movement feels a tad bit slower compared to alps, favorunion & C&K. But now with the 1000hz and our ability to change the stick tops with xbox ones, things have changed for sure, where I'd consider the G7se on par with thrustmaster EswapX/S. The only difference is the lose tension but I think thats on purpose due to that slower initial response, just my theory. If a 4 back button controller from Gamesir comes out with 1000hz and licensed for xbox, it'll for sure become my main controller. Right now I do find myself using the EswapX and Turtlebeach stealth ultra at times just for the 4 back buttons, but yes I do think G7se in 1000hz is definitely standing with the top controllers for aiming on xbox.

this didn’t work for me because i have insane stick drift of my other controller so i do get the audio but with the cist of stick drift🙁

hi, does your stick become faulty in 1000hz? most of the time the stick position not return to middle axis even tho physically the stick is back in middle, idk how to say this, like digitally? the position is not returning to middle axis and stuck, i can send a pictures or videos of it in gamepad tester if you want, but the problem don't exist in 500 and 250.

Hey so on windows 10 there is a driver conversion to xinput coz of the xbox license, and that inserts a higher poll every now and then which them makes it more like a 500hz. But if you use 500hz in nexus then it’s a very consistent result. Gamesir have an explanation on their discord, I do wish they had a workaround for windows 10 as well, but T4k is probably the better choice for windows 10, unless you need xbox compatibility then 500hz is max on G7se.

Hey so the G7 and G7se don’t have audio when we go above 250hz, using another controller in Co pilot allows us to get audio from another controller. The latency for stick input shows an improvement in my tests and definitely when using the controller.

Hi, I've seen some people saying the G7SE has an outer-edge deadzone (i.e stick maxing out on tests while the physical stick still hasnt touched the edge) can you confirm whether or not this is true? would this be a controller issue or a calibration issue if it isn't a deadzone.

@thephototechy

3 ай бұрын

Hey so any controller which gives a perfect circular score and some that mimics a raw output actually have a outer max deadzone. Another thing you’ll find, any controller that give you an option to alter the response curve at all will have an outer max deadzone. A standard controller and some third party controllers chose to have a raw linear output, with the physical thumbstick gate serving as an outer deadzone, this makes for that hybrid circle square shape in circularity tests. Gamesir have a circular output and a raw mode which mimics that raw output of a standard controller, but it’s still based on a outer max deadzone. One is not better than the other, as there are other factors at play as well like resolution and adjustment of the curve. I’ll make a video on this soon covering different controllers.

@@june3149 hey so try this, use any controller you have and you’ll find reaching the 100% before you actually hit the physical thumbstick gate. This is something in place so a stick can always reach 100%, controllers with raw output have a lower outer dead space than the ones with an outer deadzone. G7se and even the normal G7 will feel like having a slightly more dead space than a standard controller, but this won’t affect performance at all, in fact to me personally I’ve found reducing the max deadzone in game helps a lot on all HE sticks I’ve tried. HE sticks will feel slightly sluggish and I do believe need to be lower resolution to feel quick enough.

I can’t get more than 500hz, with the 1000hz mode on and the optional script install.

I used the OG g7 for a while then tried the g7 se and maan i can tell something feels off, the g7 feels responsive and snappier than the g7 se.
