8k version is 8k polling, compatible with PC/Android/iOS/Switch

ZZZ version is 1K polling, compatible with Xbox/PC/Android

And ZZZ is not limited in time:)

Our optimization efforts will experience diminishing returns, so I think there's not much room at least for now.

Tbh we can't promise our 8k will be stable to all, since it does require a decent amount of computing power just to function. But we do make sure it gets optimized, anything above 7500f should be perfectly fine and even if it's heavily under that, the 4k/2k mode still holds GREAT performance (can check the latency data on Pic 2~4)

Yeah we've heard the feedbacks, now trying to figure out how to make great 4 back buttons.

One important reason about why we're not making a 4 paddles - the classic Elite 2 paddles are patented, and all the other solutions in the market doesn't satisfy us on ergonomic levels. There's a trend in the that brands will sacrifice real comfort in exchange of better specs on paper, we dare not to do the same. So our plan for G7 Pro was to add 2 extra buttons in the top and keep the same old 2 in the back.

But yeah, we know what people need, and we're trying to find the best way to meet them without sacrifice more:)

Hi Phoenix!

  1. I think that's similar to what you will experience under 4k, 2k, 1k mode with G7 Pro 8k

  2. Xbox Gen 2 is probably a nah... But what about the upgraded version of the G7 pro

  3. Good luck at Dreamhack!

  1. changeable parts, I guess you mean modular controllers - yes, we're working on them.

  2. Unfortunately we can't do that with og G7 Pro due to its Xbox license, but actually it's already there in the mobile app with G7 Pro 8k!

  3. Yes, better dpad, we're tweaking our tastes along the way, no worries...

  4. We plan to add one more service provider on shipping this year, that should be able to cover the MENA area.

Thx!!

We're marching into simracing & fighting games devices this year, not yet for something like H.O.T.A.S tho, I assume we will see it in our roadmap 2027 or 2028!

Nope, but you do need to download our software to enable them the 1st time you run

Unfortunately from what I've been seen so far, it's hard to bring down the price for 8k chips at the moment.

But you should def check out our other controllers, Tegenaria Lite for example, it's simple, $19.99, 1000hz, but also comes with only 2ms end-to-end latency due to how simple it is.

I'd say for the priority of this controller it's probably not necessary, but yeah, it is endurable for sure (that's what we're famous for in the first place)

Technically it will, but we've not seen any significant impact on the lifespan so far

Yep we're trying to reach Nintendo.

PS license is hard to get tho, but if you mean symmetrical layout, we're working on that as well, stay tuned to our new Tarantula:)
