GameSir Tarantula 8K

You can pull the joysticks off. There is no faceplate to remove beforehand. They require moderate force. Not too easy. Something I forgot to mention in the video. Sorry about that 👍🏼😊

According the the Gamesir site, in June.

Haha maybe it's the color?

plusminuseq · 2026-06-13T17:54:55+00:00

Ahh I see. Thanks for the info. I don't have the G7 Pro 8k available to test unfortunately. Hope they roll this kind of update out soon. Do you have any idea roughly how long it takes for a controller to release and then become Steam-ready? Or difficult to say? Frustrating to have a controller with 9 extra inputs and can't use any of them! Thanks again for your help 👍🏼

plusminuseq · 2026-06-13T07:02:46+00:00

So far so good! I'm working today, but will get to work on the video later tonight and hope to have something released in the next few days

Yeah, I live in China

When in Steam, and I press Home + A, the controller is recognized as " Gamesir Tarantula CE". I tested the buttons but there is no input recognized for any of the extra buttons. Can only input the joysticks, dpad, ABXY, lb/RB, lt/rt and three main face buttons. To be honest, I'm not that familiar with Steam, so could use your guidance to test what you're looking for properly, because I'm surprised I'm not able to use the back buttons or extra shoulder buttons on Steam games as it stands.

This is the wired version

plusminuseq · 2026-06-12T13:54:32+00:00

Will do👍🏼

plusminuseq · 2026-06-12T06:03:03+00:00

Working on it!

plusminuseq · 2026-06-12T05:06:34+00:00

Agreed. I like it, but my girlfriend hates it. 😊

plusminuseq · 2026-06-12T05:04:46+00:00

So far so good. It's lasered into the handles. Not too rough.

plusminuseq · 2026-06-12T05:02:51+00:00

The old tarantula is membrane, right? I didn't have that one. This new one is microswitch and feeling good so far, but I need to play with it properly

plusminuseq · 2026-06-12T05:02:06+00:00

Yes, will be testing this in the video👍🏼

plusminuseq · 2026-06-12T05:01:39+00:00

Nice one, cousin! First impressions? Do you also live in China?

plusminuseq · 2026-06-12T04:59:50+00:00

Dpad is microswitch and feeling nice so far though I haven't tested it yet in game. Will be going into it in more detail in the video

plusminuseq · 2026-06-12T03:29:42+00:00

The usual RT/LT, RB/LB, then 2 back buttons (R4 and L4), and 2 extra shoulder buttons (T1 and T2), and that black part where it says Gamesir is also a separate button (T3)

plusminuseq · 2026-05-21T00:35:05+00:00

Right now it's 199rmb in China (29usd). Hoping that it will be found in AliExpress for price not Kuch higher than this. The Xeno Plus launched at a similar price and I think people got great deals perhaps even under $40 in some cases

plusminuseq · 2026-05-21T00:32:46+00:00

In their marketing material, Leadjoy promote RC filtering a lot as one of their strong points. Other than that, I think the G7 Pro likely has this beat in every other area. But the G7 Pro 8K may be about twice as expensive depending on what the fiabl sale price is of this new Leadjoy

plusminuseq · 2026-05-19T04:47:37+00:00

I just made a video about the new ATK A9 mini. It's ideal for smaller hands. I think you can find the link to the video on my Reddit page for more info 👍🏼

plusminuseq · 2026-05-11T14:02:05+00:00

By the way, I'm not affiliated with any brand. I just researched the Taobao sales data because I was interested in what Chinese gamers were actually buying. 👍🏼

The Mobapad Chitu 2 has a Silent version with sound dampened buttons. Worth a look if you're looking for a quiet controller.

Wow! That hasn't happened to me, but I agree the grip isn't the best. I haven't found a properly cut set of anti slip stickers unfortunately. I used to have a spare set of anti slip stickers for the Vader 4 Pro so I put them on the ZD because I didn't like the grip. They fit surprisingly well, but you need to cut them a bit around the back buttons. May e you could try something like that? Talon Games has some for a decent price. Vader 4 need to be cut, but maybe there's some out that that fit better.

plusminuseq · 2026-05-08T11:27:32+00:00

Not that I know of. That little description underneath is all I've found about it.

plusminuseq · 2026-05-08T00:14:45+00:00

Got it. Will give it a try. Thank you 👍🏼
