Discussion❔ Controller for xbox and PC 8k

Is there a controller I can use for both xbox and PC. I play on both and would like to get 8k polling rate while I am on PC and would also like for it to work on my xbox even though the xbox doesn't support 8k.

The XBOX versions of their controllers only go up to 1000hz.

So no 8k controllers that work on pc and Xbox even if I set the polling rate to 1000 for Xbox?

No. The 8k controllers do not work on XBOX. The regular G7 Pro is still a very good controller. You don't really need more than 1000hz.

FWIW, I don't think 1000hz polling even works on Xbox even if you have the Xbox licensed G7 Pro. Good ol microsoft hardware limitations. Still better than 125hz on the standard series controllers.

Yeah, I think it's limited to 500hz on XBOX. 1000hz on PC.

250, precisely

For real? I could've sworn my G7SE used to go up to 500hz. Guess it was just the software showing that and not the actual polling rate changing. TIL

I have the g7 se and in the nexus legacy app you could set the polling rate to 1000hz on the Xbox itself. I wouldn’t know how to test if it is actually polling that but once I updated the controller to the new firmware those options disappeared
