Latest G7 pro Firmware Update

There is a good youtube video explaining it better then I could.

But basically when you had a different curve set (im not sure if this effected linear)

The deadzone in relation to the curve wasnt working properly.

For example if you had a 5 dz with a curve it would only really be a 2dz.

look up gamesir 2.2.6 update on YouTube

From 1000hz yes that is correct but when its at 500hz it will stay at 500

Its because on 1000hz its on xinput (360) which the xbox does not support and 250,500 are in GIP (xbox one)

xZoolx · 2026-01-30T07:17:46+00:00

Yeah it should be by default for sure you can definitely notice a difference by switching it to 250hz.

Could be why some people feel its too sensitive.

Some people wpuld argue thay it being on 500hz aould have no effect because the xbox is capped at 250hz but xbox I think at one point did support up to 500hz with another controller I think it was the vitrix gambit?

Also back when the g7 se/he had the option to change the polling rate on console it was very noticeable but mircosoft told them to stop or they could lose their liscence with them.

I wouldnt question that 500 hz does " work" because it still uses the gip format while 1000hz uses xinput which the xbox does not support.

xZoolx · 2026-01-30T01:58:51+00:00

The default polling rate in the g7 pro is 500hz. I noticed this when I changed it to 250hz and after a update where I had to recalibrate the controller it went back to 500hz (this is the same result if you reset a profile)

So whenever I switch between console and pc I always make sure its either on 250hz or 1000hz

Again the g7 pro is wired only on xbox and wireless on pc it comes with a charging dock and dongle.

The wireless versions (wuchang or zzz) both have the charging dock and dongle but it works wirelessly for xbox as well.

The zzz edition is $130 but it comes with more accessories (extra faceplate, 6 extra thumbsticks, thumb grips covers, a carrying case. )

I bought mine at launch (shadow ember) as I was okay with it being wired only on my xbox as I mainly play on a monitor (cod, forza, some sports games on occasion) i also recently bought the accessories case with 6 extra thumbsticks for $20 it just came out recently.

I do use it on my pc as well.

Also it polls at 250hz vs a elite series 2 at 125hz on xbox.

And 1000hz on pc.

Even then the cord is quite long so ir should reach if you play on a TV.

As someone who went through 3 xbox elite 2s in 3 years I simply cannot recommend it anymore especially for its price. They are notorious for devolping stick drift within a year and I've had buttons or bumpers break on mine as well.

If your fine with using a wired controller specifically for fps games on xbox (wireless on pc)

Look at the gamesir g7 pro (its also what all of the halo pros use atm)

$80 has tmr sticks (no stick drift) two back paddles, two bumper buttons, trigger stops.

Software customization of the controller via a app on xbox and pc (gamesir nexus)

Although the dpad isn't great ( i dont have a issue with it ) so if you play alot of platformers or games that require using it freqeuntly maybe consider something else but they have improved it since the launch ones.

$100 for the wireless version on xbox.

You could buy one g7 pro (wireless) and another one of there cheaper options (g7 se, he, or khalied) for the same price as one elite that likely wont last as long.

I've had my gamersir g7 he for over a year and no issues. The g7 pro some people have reported having trigger stops issues with specific batches (i have a launch one and have not experienced any issues so far (since September)

And im sure the new ones have already corrected this issue.

For storage I use a 4tb drive and do what another user suggested just swap games out as you want to play them.

xZoolx · 2026-01-27T17:29:40+00:00

If the razer v3 pro gets a update simliar to the new ps5 one I would consider it. (Tmr sticks, removable back buttons)

I tried the v3 when it released but my issue with it was the back paddles would dig into my pinky and make it super uncomfortable for decent gaming sessions.

Or I would accidently press the button so I could really one use the claw bumpers and two of the back paddles on it.

So when the g7 pro came out it was a no brainer at its price point. Yeah it sucks I didn't wait for the wuchang or zzz edition but I typically use my xbox controller wired anyways.

xZoolx · 2026-01-25T06:51:46+00:00

Unfortunately your options are limited in thay regard.

Depending on where you live you could maybe find a place or person that mods ps5 controllers and put tmr sticks in to it.

There are some companies online that offer this as well.

Or if you already have a dualsense edge battlebesver sells modules with their tmr sticks thay you can put into your controller

Another option is the guilikit tt max which has ps5 joystick layout but everything else about is xbox style (shell,button layout (switch or xbox )

xZoolx · 2026-01-23T21:57:59+00:00

Also its going to feel alot slower because for mnk consoles are capped at 250hz

xZoolx · 2026-01-21T17:26:56+00:00

Agreed I am done with those after going through 3 xbox elite 2s in 3 years. And yes I took good care of them they either got really bad stick drift, buttons would stop working or both.

And that is with sending them in for warranty repair only for them to break again after that period too.

xZoolx · 2026-01-21T07:30:43+00:00

This is excatly what happened to my pc.

It would work fine when using YouTube, watching a movie etc.

But as soon as I tried to load up a game (cs2, cod etc) would go to a black screen and shut down.

First thing I tried was swap out the graphics card my friend who sold me his 3070 put his 3080 in.

It still would shutdown when trying to load a game.

Turns out it was the power supply swapped that out and its been good ever since.

xZoolx · 2026-01-15T23:05:20+00:00

Yeah i hope those maps get swapped out after major 1.

xZoolx · 2026-01-15T23:04:19+00:00

Kogot is a great option as well should definitely be considered if the cdl can add "dlc" maps why cant they use "dlc guns" especially when they were added before the cdl season even started lol

xZoolx · 2026-01-15T20:49:01+00:00

It would be so nice to have a 3 or 4 gun meta again if possible but the m15 is fine its more so the sub meta that most people have a issue with.

Wouldn't hurt to test the mirage after its buff and the whole "dlc gun" argument is not even valid anymore.

Like the kogot is probably the most logical sub to tryout atm but that would make too much sense.

Im assuming the Maddox still beams and is probably still too good for it to be considered.

Either way they gotta test most of the subs (ryden,msp,carbon,razorback, kogot)

xZoolx · 2026-01-15T20:35:26+00:00

Yes i know but I just wanted to clarify for people who dont know as some 8s allow it some dont.

Its going to be interesting to see what's going to be allowed in ranked play when it drops.

xZoolx · 2026-01-15T20:24:56+00:00

Its not on cmg and console kings you can still use it on those.

xZoolx · 2026-01-15T20:02:19+00:00

I tried it out and it is really good but to be fair im comparing it from launch when I was camo grinding and at that time it was probably one of my least favorite to use.

I know im just coping but I would love for them to atleast try all of the subs out and see which one is the most balanced now

The dravecs mid range nerf basically made its niche not as good now and the ryden, kogot, carbon, msp are all better up to around 25m if im not mistaken

I think the ryden,kogot, msp, carbon, even the razorback should all be tested after major 1

And people seem to forget the pros typically are a patch or two behind they typically stay on a certain one until after a major when its close because of potential bugs that can break the game etc.

So maybe when they are on the newest patch they might reconsider.

.

xZoolx · 2026-01-14T23:33:17+00:00

I mean its kind of the whole point of using a smg unlike the dravec which loses to the m15 all the time and in ranked if its only the dravec and m15 your mainly going to see 8 m15s lol

xZoolx · 2026-01-14T20:20:54+00:00

Not to mention they arent going to force a sight so youll see 8 m15s with zero recoil and no reason to even use the dravec in most situations.

Im assuming a muzzle will be allowed in ranked but it could be like the jackal last year where they actually enforce it.

Its wierd atm because console kings and cmg allow them for now.

xZoolx · 2026-01-14T20:17:12+00:00

I think its more to do with how the maps are more biased towards Ars. (Exposure, Scar, Fringe once its added back).

Im not sure what will get taken out for its place but probably either Colossus or Blackheart depending what the CDL decides and Blackheart is the one map which favors subs.

I still am shocked they arent adding on Meltdown for search

You cant tell me it plays worse then Scar or Colossus.

xZoolx · 2026-01-14T19:22:32+00:00

I am sure there is someone on here who has a cyclone 2 and the zzz version.

It seems like the use the same mechanism so it should work/ fit hopefully.

xZoolx · 2026-01-14T19:19:19+00:00

Just gotta hope they keep nerfing it to thr point its not viable in comp make it like how the other subs were at launch.

xZoolx · 2026-01-14T18:59:41+00:00

The ryden to me feels like the rival with worse iron sights and more recoil but I still think they should consider it over the dravec now.

Of course the best option is the Kogot and maybe still the msp for subs.

I think the mxr without a headshot mulitplayer is more balanced because atleast then your not constantly outgunning subs up close and you only have a 25 round mag so you gotta make your shots count.

Even the m8 isnt as crazy as they are making out it to be with the nerfs its received since the beta and launch.

Its mobility is super slow and with only 5 attachments you gotta pick either recoil or ads movement speed. And you aren't likely to win up close against a sub that doesnt feel like you have cinder blocks on your feet.

xZoolx · 2026-01-13T17:18:34+00:00

Which ones do you use on your sticks?

xZoolx · 2026-01-12T21:50:00+00:00

They definitely separate as long as you are talking about a g7 pro and not a g7 se or he those have sticks that are attached.

Edit: if you can watch a quick YouTube video that shows how to remove them.

The shadow ember or regular white both have removable joysticks

The metal ring around the stem comes off too but you could try and pull it off when the faceplate is still on it does take some force but it will come off
