Replacing the rumble motor on a Gamesir G7 SE
I have an out-of-warranty Gamesir G7 SE. The left grip motor only works when the controller is either shaken or tapped/hit against a hard surface. The motor works for a while and then dies out again. Contact cleaner didn't help.
Can I use a motor from another (XBox or PlayStation) controller to replace it? I know I would have to reuse the old (Gamesir) connector and re-solder the wires. Which colored wires should be soldered together? I'm presuming Gamesir black to (XBox/PlayStation) black and Gamesir gray to (XBox/PlayStation) red.
The motor inside the right-handed trigger is out completely, but my priority is focused on the motor inside the left-handed grip.
Gamesir chooses not to sell replacement parts (reddit: r/Gamesir from 2025)
Ist dies eine gute Frage?
