Which one should YOU buy?
The GameSir G7 Pro is the more “balanced” choice, especially for those who primarily play on Xbox and PC. It offers the best official Xbox-licensed experience with high-end TMR sticks and a reliable charging station included in the box. Its build quality feels more mature and consistent across the board.
The ZD Ultimate Legend is a “spec-beast” designed for enthusiasts who want every feature possible. With its modular stick and trigger modules, 8 extra buttons, and 4000Hz wired polling rate, it is tailored for competitive PC and Switch players who enjoy tinkering with their hardware. However, it comes at a higher price and may feel slightly less “balanced” in the hand due to its modular nature.
