Equipment and design

The GameSir G7 Pro WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers Edition comes packaged in a cardboard box featuring a picture of the model and its key features, including tri-mode connectivity, drift-resistant TMR sticks, vibration in the grips and triggers, and much more. Xbox compatibility and a Game Pass Ultimate code included are also highlighted .

Inside, the owner will find a gamepad , a charging station, a three-meter USB-A to USB-C cable in a durable braided case, a USB dongle for wireless connection, two replaceable D-pads, a user manual, a sticker and postcard, a card with a Game Pass Ultimate activation code for a month, and a WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers-themed keychain.

The design of the new product is identical to the GameSir G7 Pro controller , which we reviewed this summer , but there are some differences. First, the color scheme: the case is turquoise, while the images of the game’s protagonist and dragon scales are gold. The thumbsticks and buttons are dark blue, and the D-pad is gold. The ABXY symbols look as if they were applied with the careless strokes of an artist. The docking station is also turquoise and gold, with hieroglyphs printed in white in the center of the front. Even the cable’s braiding matches the colors of the gamepad and docking station.

Secondly, the texture of the body: the upper part of the grips is decorated with scale images that feel tactile—a very original design. The lower part of the grips is rubberized, with a fine-mesh texture, which improves the controller’s grip.

The faceplate and grip panels are removable, held in place by magnets, and can be easily removed and replaced with other compatible panels. Although, given the model’s stylish appearance, you’re unlikely to want to do so.

The crosspiece is also removable: it can be replaced with alternative options that the manufacturer includes in the kit.

On the back of the case are a pair of L4 and R4 keys. These can be locked if needed using the adjacent levers. Two more levers are located near the triggers; they switch them from analog to digital mode. The lever in the center switches the controller’s connection modes: Bluetooth, USB, and 2.4 GHz radio.

At the front, beneath the bumpers, are a pair of mini-bumpers, L5 and R5. The USB port is located in the center, and can be secured with a removable cable clip to prevent cable kinks. At the rear, there’s a dongle pairing button, a 3.5mm headphone jack , and a microphone mute button.

The GameSir G7 Pro WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers Edition looks much better than the basic Xbox controller and is more attractive than the regular GameSir G7 Pro. Furthermore, the gamepad boasts high build quality—no creaking or looseness is detected, even when intentionally squeezing or twisting the case. The only drawback is that the model may feel a bit heavy, likely due to its impressive 1200 mAh battery.

Connection and setup

The new product supports three connection modes: wired USB, wireless Bluetooth, and 2.4 GHz. However, unlike the basic GameSir G7 Pro, which can be connected to the console via a wire, the WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers Edition is licensed for Xbox and supports wireless connection with Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.

The device can also be connected to a PC via a wired or wireless connection, and it pairs with Android via Bluetooth. Conveniently, the charging station has a built-in slot for a 2.4 GHz dongle, so you only need one USB port on your computer to connect both the station and the dongle.

Another convenient feature: the device automatically turns on when you remove it from the charging station and turns off when you return it. It’s a small detail, but a nice touch, and a nice addition to the model’s ergonomics.

To configure the device, download the GameSir Nexus app from the official website . The software has several tabs where you can customize key functions, stick and trigger behavior , vibration strength, and other settings, as well as update the controller’s firmware.

GameSir G7 Pro WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers Edition is basically ready to use out of the box, but the app offers some pretty impressive additional features. For example, the key mapping feature is a killer feature, allowing you to assign mouse and keyboard commands , as well as their combinations, to the gamepad’s buttons. For example, the bumpers are conveniently used for overlay and frame rate limiting functions, while the button under the Xbox button can be used for taking screenshots in Steam . However, your scenario may vary, depending on your preferences.

Impressions of use

Like the regular GameSir G7 Pro, the WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers Edition boasts excellent ergonomics: the gamepad fits perfectly in your palm, and the textured grips prevent it from slipping, even if your hands get sweaty while playing.

GameSir Mag-Res TMR thumbsticks are wear-resistant and drift-resistant, offering reliable and durable performance. Hall-effect triggers allow for smooth pressure adjustment. The levers can be used to switch to a quick-trigger mode, which registers inputs instantly, making them ideal for shooters and platformers .

The optical ABXY keys and mechanical D-pad are pleasantly clicky and respond very quickly, so your in-game character will respond accurately to your commands.

The built-in 1200 mAh battery allows for 6-7 hours of continuous gaming. The smart charging station stops charging once the battery is full. The algorithm is simple: after playing, simply place the gamepad on the station, then pick it up at any time and start playing again. The charging status is indicated by a light bar on the station, which flashes while the gamepad is recharging.

Conclusion

GameSir G7 Pro is a great controller for PC, Xbox, and Android, but the GameSir G7 Pro WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers Edition surpasses its predecessor in every way, especially in design.

One of the model’s key advantages is its wireless connection to the Xbox, which console owners will surely appreciate. But it’s far from the only advantage: its beautiful appearance, powerful hardware, easy setup, and expanded functionality make playing with the GameSir G7 Pro WUCHANG: Fallen Feathers Edition as comfortable as possible.

The new product is certainly worth considering, especially if you’re willing to shell out a pretty penny for a new controller. However, that’s a decision you’ll have to make.
