Be sure to check out the @PCBWay website if you're in need of PCB assembly/Creation, 3D printing services, or sheet metal fabrication! (pcbway.com/)
This is GameSirs 17th attempt at the G7 with the new G7 HE. And in true GameSir fashion, most wouldn't be able to tell the difference if no one told you what said differences were. But are those differences, as small as they are, enough to push this to the throne of "best budget xbox controller?" Thats what we aim to find out in this project. I hope you guys enjoyed it, if you did, please be sure to drop a like and sub if you're new. I'll see you guys in the next one!
