GameSir is looking to tap into a specific kind of nostalgia with its latest release. The company has officially launched the T7 Pro Retro Green, a wired controller for PC and Xbox Series X that leans heavily into the transparent, primary-colored aesthetic reminiscent of early 2000s hardware.
Quick Facts
- Price: $49.99 / £55.99
- Compatibility: PC and Xbox Series X
- Connectivity: Wired
- Key Features: Hall effect analog triggers with two-stage trigger stops, four rumble motors, and customizable back buttons.
The new Retro Green colorway joins the brand's lineup with a translucent chassis and ambient LED lighting. While the design aims to evoke a classic aesthetic, the internal hardware is decidedly modern. The controller utilizes Hall effect analog triggers, which include two-stage trigger stops intended for faster, twitch-reflex inputs during gameplay. Users can further customize the back buttons and other settings through the GameSir Nexus software.
While the T7 Pro offers a distinct look, it utilizes membrane ABXY buttons rather than mechanical switches. For players who prioritize competitive hardware, this may be a point of consideration compared to other offerings in the brand's catalog.
Alternative Options
If the translucent aesthetic isn't a priority, GameSir also offers the Cyclone 2, which is currently priced at $49.99. The Cyclone 2 features TMR (Tunnel Magnetoresistance) technology, an upgrade over standard Hall effect sensors, and includes a wireless 1,000Hz polling rate. It also ships with a charging dock and larger back buttons, positioning it as a strong value alternative for those primarily concerned with technical performance.
The T7 Pro Retro Green is available now directly through the GameSir website with immediate shipping.
