Gyro aiming evidence was mixed-positive, with reviewers noting accuracy or usefulness but not all preferring it.

Gyro results are mixed. Some users find it smoother than the original G7 Pro, while others report drift, poor tracking, or accuracy below DualSense and Switch controllers.

Pros: overall satisfaction, button quality

Cons: vibration quality, compatibility with Xbox

#8 GameSir G8 Plus MFi

Bluetooth models can offer a capable six-axis gyro, but the wired MFi version omits gyro entirely.
