PC gamers looking for a new gamepad have an excellent opportunity, as the GameSir G7 Pro controller is currently on sale for its lowest price yet during Amazon's Big Deal Days event. Typically priced at AU$159, it can be purchased for AU$127 for Prime members.
The GameSir G7 Pro has been recognized as the top PC controller by PC Gamer due to its robust feature set, which rivals controllers costing significantly more. Its standout features include TMR analog sticks and Hall effect triggers, which address common issues like stick drift and trigger stickiness found in some other controllers. The TMR sticks offer enhanced accuracy over standard drift-free Hall effect analogs, while the Hall effect triggers are designed for greater durability and responsiveness.
In terms of customization and ergonomics, the G7 Pro offers modularity with three included D-pad varieties that can be easily swapped. The grips and front plate are also designed for removal and replacement. The controller includes two rear paddle buttons, with additional buttons located on the top of the controller between the bumper buttons, offering an alternative configuration to the typical four rear paddles found on some pro controllers.
A notable inclusion is a charging stand, a feature often omitted on more expensive controllers. The 2.4GHz wireless dongle can also be stored in the stand when the controller is connected to a PC via USB, contributing to a tidy setup. Despite its advanced features and a price point above standard options like an Xbox controller, the G7 Pro is praised for its solid build quality and ergonomic feel, comparable to Microsoft's own offerings.
The Amazon Big Deal Days sale concludes this coming Monday, giving consumers a limited window to take advantage of this offer. For those interested in exploring other deals, a live blog is available to track the best offers during the sale event.
