Connecting a GameSir controller
GameSir pads connect in up to three ways depending on the model: a cable, a 2.4 GHz USB dongle, or Bluetooth. On PC, the dongle or the cable gives the most consistent results. Plug it in, press a button, and the controller appears above.
Popular models and their sticks
| Model | Connection | Sticks |
|---|---|---|
| G7 SE | Wired, licensed for Xbox and PC | Hall effect |
| Cyclone 2 | Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz and wired | Mag-Res TMR |
| T4 Kaleid | Wired, PC, Switch and Android | Hall effect |
All three avoid the potentiometer sticks that wear out on many first party controllers. That makes long term drift rare, but it does not make the sticks perfect: centering still depends on calibration and springs.
What to test
- Resting offset with the stick drift test. Magnetic sticks often rest very close to zero.
- Small movements with the linearity test. It shows whether the sampling is fine enough for small aim adjustments.
- Update rate with the polling rate test. GameSir advertises 1000 Hz on some models, but a web page can only see up to about 250 Hz in Chrome.
- Trigger travel in the input list above. Models with trigger stops or switchable trigger modes show a shorter range in short mode, which is expected.
Questions about this test
- Do GameSir hall effect sticks drift?
- They avoid the wear that causes most drift, but a stick can still rest slightly off center because of its calibration or spring. The stick drift test shows the exact offset.
- Why does my GameSir show a different name in each mode?
- The controller changes the identity it reports depending on its mode and connection, so the browser sees it as a different device.
- Can I update GameSir firmware here?
- No. Firmware updates need GameSir software. This site only reads inputs.
