Gamesir just announced their newest Hall Effect controllers: Kaleid and Kaleid Flux. These look great, but let’s compare them to previous bestsellers – Gamesir G7 SE and T4 Kaleid.
Despite having several common features like wired connectivity, Hall effect technology for triggers and sticks, analog/hair trigger modes, and programmable back buttons, these controllers have notable differences in compatibility, button types, gyro support, motor count, and pricing.

| Connectivity | Wired | Wired | Wired |

Personally I think the G7 SE is a perfect controller, but if you want a controller with gyro then I would go for T4 Kaleid obviously. And the new Gamesir Kaleid is a great option if you want micro switch face buttons.
