Microsoft’s Xbox Wireless Controller once ruled the realm of PC gaming controls, praised for its comfortable textures and sturdy build. However, this reign has been challenged by the newly released GameSir G7 Pro, which has now been rated the best PC controller by PC Gamer.

The G7 Pro stands out with its customizable front plate, removable thumbsticks, and face buttons. It includes programmable paddle buttons and features Hall effect thumbsticks to eliminate drift, a common issue with the Xbox controller.

GameSir’s G7 Pro might only be slightly more expensive than its Microsoft counterpart, yet it provides exceptional value with enhanced connectivity options—including Bluetooth and wired modes—alongside ten hours of battery life and a practical charging stand.

The shift in preference highlights the growing appeal of versatile controllers, paving the way for GameSir to take a significant spot in the market alongside other top contenders like the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro and Scuf Instinct Pro.
