GameSir has showcased its brand new G7 Pro wireless gaming controller at this week’s CES trade event, where they teased a very compelling sub-$100 price point. It seems that a lucky few have already playtested early sample units—leaks from late last year revealed the existence of Xbox and Steam variants. During a showroom visit, the TechPowerUp team discovered that GameSir had left the oft-rumored Valve-licensed “prototype” back at HQ. Fortunately, their Xbox G7 Pro model was available for close up inspection in Las Vegas—reports suggest that a launch is lined up around Spring time.

Highlights from the G7 Pro’s feature list include: TMR analogue sticks (first introduced via their Tarantula series), 1000 Hz polling rate (wired on Xbox, wireless on PC), optical microswitch face buttons, two rear programmable back buttons + two programmable shoulder triggers, swappable faceplate system, and a new tactile D-pad. TechPowerUp also spent time with some other new controller models—GameSir has another affordable-tier Nova controller (white example is pictured below) incoming, as well as a retro-gray Tarantula model.

An attachable smartphone controller—featuring a Game Boy-esque D-pad and button layout—was demoed. Attendees played around with this prototype and enjoyed a throwback experience with some older 2D games, through emulators. GameSir also showcased its new generation telescopic mobile controller, the X5—reportedly heading to market later this year. At one point during TechPowerUp’s visit, GameSir CEO Shuailin Ye was spotted wielding a new lightgun controller. This has been designed for modern VR gaming.
