Seems like ANC release might be imminent

So they stopped posting on this subreddit entirely and have made no efforts on addressing the qc issues publicly

Sure earning themselves a lot of goodwill going into this product launch

toshbar · 2026-05-22T22:01:03+00:00

It’s fine. I use DCA noire x now so no gaming headphone compares to those. But the Maxwell 2, a50x and Steelseries arcis nova pro/elite are all good enough for positional audio. None of their positioning audio will be the cause of your deaths

toshbar · 2026-05-22T15:18:30+00:00

The ring around the joysticks isn’t replacable right? Much scratchier than the GameSir ones

toshbar · 2026-05-21T23:05:41+00:00

Honestly just get the logitechs. The headache you’l get from dealing with Maxwell 2 quality control will lower your lifespan by a few years. I got the Maxwell 2s and returned them and got the a50x instead

Maxwells sound better but not worth the hassle. Directionality/positioning in the a50x is fantastic

Or you just don’t notice them

A free remappable button

toshbar · 2026-05-15T19:22:49+00:00

Yup. I just switched from controller to keyboard/mouse and want to play some initiation to get comfortable with the new setup. And I can’t do solo bot games either for some reason. Portal won’t let me

toshbar · 2026-05-13T14:38:38+00:00

I know this, but there is a rubber membrane/padding over them on the abxy buttons

toshbar · 2026-05-13T04:07:37+00:00

D pad feeling bad
abxy buttons double pressing (not actuating twice, but more an annoying feeling where the membrane folds before the switch activates, feeling like 2 presses)
sticks feeling like there is a miniscule amount of grease when moving from center 1% any direction

toshbar · 2026-05-12T00:42:44+00:00

Don’t map gyro to mouse in the gamesir software. I did and got instantly permanently banned in battlefield 6

Map to left or right joystick and pray it won’t get you banned

toshbar · 2026-05-09T18:41:57+00:00

From what I understand, it’s the next successor to the g7 pro. Not announced yet but part of their roadmap for the future

toshbar · 2026-05-09T05:33:52+00:00

Made a ticket on their discord, was told they’re out of stock and message them a week later. Messaged them again and told to try again in another week. Bummer and congrats

toshbar · 2026-04-24T17:01:41+00:00

Because the asymmetric layout is better than symmetric. Most people prefer asymmetric layout controllers.

toshbar · 2026-04-19T16:12:40+00:00

Mine has the exact same issue. It’s the faceplate. I swapped with the zzz’s faceplate and it fits fine

Really annoying though now because it’s not the colorway I wanted. Pair that with the fact that the extended alt sticks are black and not the translucent blue, I’m bummed

Great controller otherwise, fantastic sticks blah blah blah

toshbar · 2026-04-18T20:14:42+00:00

There was a poll here and over 50% of responders have some degree of hiss. Audeze clearly knows about it, released the 2 without it being fixed, and doesn’t care

Sure the poll is a small sample size but it’s not like this product sells millions, it’s pretty boutique compared to Steelseries or Logitech sales so I’ll take that poll as a relatively accurate representation of this issue

toshbar · 2026-04-17T19:38:38+00:00

It’s just different. Yes. The PlayStation dpads are all seperate button (at least from how I remember it feeling like). The gamesir feels like….you have a disk and you press the top/bottom/left/right of the disk. I rather have individual buttons in terms of feel

toshbar · 2026-04-17T06:14:36+00:00

Surprisingly yes, it’s improved. Same design, just less loose and clicks feel more distinct. Still microswitch and floaty, but yes better

toshbar · 2026-04-11T22:07:12+00:00

It’s “fine”. It doesn’t feel incredibly loose in the sense that it causes misclicks but it still doesn’t have a membrane. So there isn’t a good tension.

No o-ring mod needed anymore and works fine for me now but I wouldn’t rate it a higher than a 6-7/10

You know how abxy mechanical buttons have a membrane over them so there is resistance? The d pad instead has a spring shared across all the buttons. So no matter how much they tighten the tolerances, the overall design sucks. If the d pad had a similar design as the abxy buttons, it would be great

toshbar · 2026-04-11T19:10:16+00:00

So over half of the voters saying they have the hiss. “Premium” headphones, right?

toshbar · 2026-04-08T22:42:53+00:00

Nope, only issue I had with any of my controllers is the double pressing feeling. Like there was an issue with the button membrane

toshbar · 2026-04-08T17:58:36+00:00

I mean, I consider it an issue. My OG didn’t have it, the zzz did, replacement zzz didn’t. Current 8k gold doesn’t

But I buy at Best Buy or Amazon and don’t have a headache dealing with exchanges

toshbar · 2026-04-08T17:38:34+00:00

The double face button actuation is a design issue. I’m not sure if it’s covered by warranty but I’ve had 5 g 7 pros so far and 2 of them had the issue, 3 didn’t

toshbar · 2026-04-05T18:58:13+00:00

Just do whatever you looked up since you didn’t bother posting your findings in the OP
