If you were planning on buying yourself a new Xbox Series X controller this week, I'd hold off. It's expected that a plethora of gaming hardware will wear discount tags next week thanks to Amazon's Prime Day sale, but we can now officially confirm that that includes one of the absolute best Xbox controllers available right now, the GameSir G7 Pro.
The fan favorite TMR controller will be seeing a discount to its already affordable price next week, with a 20% discount knocking $16 off its price in the US. This deal will only stand for the original Xbox version of the controller, and not the more recent GameSir G7 Pro 8K PC model.
That brings the price of the G7 Pro down from its $79.99 MSRP in the US to $63.99 at Amazon. In the UK, there will be an even better reduction from £89.99 down to £63.99 at Amazon.
The GameSir G7 Pro already offers so many features for its price. Considering most Xbox controllers that offer wireless play, a charging stand, extra buttons, and advanced thumbstick tech tend to demand $200 from you.
The G7 Pro may not have four back buttons, a carry case, and lots of swappable parts, but its TMR thumbsticks, microswitch buttons, two back buttons (with two extra bumpers), and 1,000Hz polling rate do make it an excellent choice for under $100.
Elsewhere, GameSir will also be discounting its new GameSir Pocket Taco mobile controller. That will be the first major price cut on the GameBoy tribute accessory since it arrived on the shelves, bringing the price down from $34.99/£34.99 to $27.99/£27.99 at Amazon.
Mobile gamers can also benefit from a price drop on the GameSir G8+ MFi Type-C, which will see a cut from $79.99/£79.99 to $63.99/£63.99 at Amazon. Switch and Switch 2 gamers, or folks looking for a budget PC controller, can also grab the GameSir Nova Lite 2, which will drop from $29.99/£29.99 down to $23.99/£23.99 at Amazon.
All of these offers will seemingly run for the duration of Prime Day gaming deals, meaning from the 23rd to 26th of June. It doesn't seem as though any of them will be featured as early bird offers in the days leading up to the sale, but I'll be keeping an eye out just in case some drop their guard early.
All of GameSir's controllers tend to offer great value for money, but the best deal for gamers this year is almost certainly that G7 Pro discount. The G7 Pro holds a spot on our best Xbox, best PC and best TMR controller buyers guides, and came a close second to the Nacon RXU in our controller of the year hardware award last year.
I did expect that the GameSir G7 Pro would potentially see a discount in this year's Prime Day sale, and it's among the very best I've ever reviewed and would recommend hunting for in this year's event.
