MSI Force GC200 (S10-04G0120-EC4)

A wired gamepad from MSI, which, despite its simple appearance and budget positioning, is equipped with Hall effect triggers — contactless magnetic sensors typically found in mid-range and high-end controllers. This means smooth and precise pressure registration throughout the entire range, from a light touch to a full press, without the wear and loss of accuracy over time characteristic of potentiometers.

The analog sticks are asymmetrically placed and, according to the manufacturer, provide smooth and sensitive positioning. The buttons are designed for millions of presses with a pronounced tactile response. The grips have rubber inserts for a reliable hold during extended sessions. Feedback is provided by two vibration motors. The MSI Force GC200 gamepad is compatible with Windows PCs and Android devices, connecting via a 2-meter USB-A cable and powered directly from the USB port — no batteries or built-in battery, meaning there is no issue of running out of charge during gameplay.

The set of controls is standard: 12 buttons, a four-way D-pad, two sticks, a pair of bumpers, and two triggers. There are no rear programmable keys or additional functions like a gyroscope, but for its price, the controller offers the main features — reliable mechanics and Hall effect triggers. Weight is 265 grams, and the configuration is done through the proprietary MSI Center software.
