Manufacturer description

The Machenike G5Pro is a wireless gaming controller built around Hall effect hardware, and that choice drives almost everything worth knowing about it. Both analog sticks and both analog triggers use Hall effect sensing instead of traditional potentiometers, which is the design that resists the stick drift that kills cheaper pads after a year of use. You also get a built-in 6-axis gyroscope for motion aiming, four fully programmable back buttons you can map to single inputs or macro sets, and RGB lighting with five modes, adjustable speed and brightness, and five bead colors to pick from…

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Machenike G5Pro work with Xbox or PS5?

No. Machenike lists the G5Pro as compatible with Switch, Switch 2, iOS, Android, and Windows PC only, and explicitly states it is not compatible with Xbox, PlayStation, or GeForce Now.

Will the sticks drift like a Switch Joy-Con?

The G5Pro uses Hall effect sensing sticks rather than contact potentiometers, a design Machenike describes as providing anti-drift glide. The analog triggers are Hall effect as well.

Does it work with Switch 2?

Yes. Machenike lists both Switch and Switch 2 among supported platforms, alongside iOS, Android, and Windows PC.

Can I remap the back buttons?

Yes. The G5Pro has four fully programmable back buttons, and each can be assigned a single function or a macro covering a set of buttons.

Does it have gyro aiming?

Yes. The controller includes a built-in 6-axis gyroscope, so tilting and rotating the pad maps to in-game aiming or steering where the title supports motion controls.
