GameSir G7 Pro gets a Metallic Silver color exclusive to Best Buy

The G7 Pro has been quietly building a small palette since its 2025 debut. The original Mech White and Shadow Ember versions arrived as standard Xbox‑compatible wired controllers, then a Golden Ombre variant slipped onto Amazon in January 2026. This week GameSir rolls out a fourth finish – Metallic Silver – and restricts sales to Best Buy both online and in‑store.

What’s different?

Visually the controller is a mix of matte and shine. The faceplate, D‑pad, ABXY buttons, bumpers and grip panels carry a brushed‑metal sheen, while the underside, thumbsticks and the bulk of the chassis stay black. The triggers are made from transparent black plastic, and the package includes a matching silver charging dock. Apart from the cosmetics, the internals are identical to the earlier colors.

Core hardware (unchanged across all colors)

Feature	Detail
Connection	Tri‑mode: wired to Xbox, 2.4 GHz wireless to PC, Bluetooth to Android
Thumbsticks	Tactile‑feedback TMR (Twin‑Motor Resistance) sticks
Triggers	Hall‑Effect analog triggers with micro‑switch stop points
Buttons	Optical micro‑switch ABXY, mechanical micro‑switch D‑pad
Gyroscope	Six‑axis sensor for motion input
Customizable buttons	Four extra buttons (two lockable back buttons)
Rumble	Four vibration motors
Polling rate	1 000 Hz on PC (wired)
Audio	3.5 mm jack works on Xbox and PC
Battery	1 200 mAh Li‑ion, 12 h typical playtime
Charging dock	Included, silver‑finished for the new edition

The controller’s 2.4 GHz dongle delivers sub‑10 ms latency on PC, matching the wired experience for most titles. The Hall‑Effect triggers give a smooth, linear feel that rivals premium Xbox Elite sticks, while the optical switches keep button bounce to a minimum – a detail that shows up in fast‑paced shooters.

How it stacks up against the competition

Device	Price	Connectivity	Battery	Notable features
GameSir G7 Pro (Metallic Silver)	$79.99 (Best Buy)	Wired/Xbox, 2.4 GHz PC, Bluetooth Android	1 200 mAh	Hall‑Effect triggers, optical switches, 1 000 Hz polling
Xbox Elite Series 2	$179.99	Wired/2.4 GHz	1 200 mAh	Adjustable tension sticks, interchangeable paddles
SCUF Prestige	$149.99	Wired	2 400 mAh	Remappable face buttons, trigger stops
Razer Wolverine V2	$99.99	Wired only	1 200 mAh	Razer Mecha‑Tactile switches, interchangeable thumbsticks

At $80 the G7 Pro undercuts the Elite Series 2 by a full $100 while still offering Hall‑Effect triggers and a 1 000 Hz polling rate – specs that the Elite only reaches with its wired mode. Compared with the SCUF Prestige, the G7 Pro loses the interchangeable paddles but gains wireless flexibility on PC and Android, plus a lower price point.

Who should consider the Metallic Silver edition?

• Xbox owners who want a premium feel without the Elite price tag. The Hall‑Effect triggers and optical switches give a tactile edge over the stock Xbox controller.
• PC gamers who value low latency. The 1 000 Hz polling rate and 2.4 GHz dongle keep input lag well below 5 ms in most titles.\n* Mobile players who game on Android tablets. Bluetooth support means you can pair the controller to a tablet for cloud‑gaming services like Xbox Cloud Gaming or Nvidia GeForce Now.
• Collectors and style‑minded players. The exclusive silver finish and matching dock make the G7 Pro a standout on any desk.

If you don’t care about the color, the same hardware is available in the earlier Mech White, Shadow Ember and Golden Ombre finishes from other retailers, but the Best Buy exclusive adds a bit of flair for those who like their peripherals to match a sleek setup.

Availability and price

The Metallic Silver G7 Pro is listed on Best Buy for $79.99. Shipping is free for most U.S. addresses, and the same‑day pickup option is available at participating stores. The package includes the controller, the silver charging dock, a USB‑C to USB‑A cable and a quick‑start guide.
