GameSir's Phantom Blade Zero Controller Is Official: G7 Pro 8K PC Edition Launches in China at CNY 549

GameSir's Phantom Blade Zero collaboration controller is now official and on sale in China. The Chinese version is named Uranus 8K Phantom Blade Zero (天王星8K《影之刃零》联名款), the global version carries the name GameSir G7 Pro 8K PC Phantom Blade Zero Edition, and the controller is on sale now through officially authorized channels on JD.com and Tmall for CNY 549 — roughly $82 or €71 at the exchange rate cited in reporting. Two of the three open questions from the August announcement and the September 11 teaser, the model and the price, now have answers. The third, a release outside China, remains open: the global edition's name is settled, but no overseas launch date, pricing, or retail channels have been announced.

This article collects everything confirmed about the controller so far: the two official names, the design, the hardware specifications, device compatibility, where and how it is sold, what ships in the box, and the current state of its international release.

From teaser to on sale: what one month settled

The rhythm of this collaboration was already laid out in earlier coverage of the teaser phase. On August 12, GameSir announced a partnership with Phantom Blade Zero without saying what the product would be. On September 11, a teaser video confirmed the product was a special edition controller and showed a charging dock, while the model, the price, and the release timing all stayed unannounced. At that point the widespread guess placed the controller somewhere in the G7 Pro line.

The official reveal settled the two most consequential unknowns. The name confirms the controller belongs to the G7 Pro 8K PC line — the direction the dock-based speculation had pointed. And instead of opening a separate pre-order window, GameSir put the controller on sale the moment it was revealed. From the August 12 announcement to a purchasable product took a little over a month, moving from "a collaboration product exists" to "it can be ordered today."

In mainland China, the sales information is carried directly by a product page on the website of GameSir's parent company (小鸡科技). The page is titled 天王星8K《影之刃零》联名款 — Uranus 8K Phantom Blade Zero Edition — and links to both the JD.com and Tmall listings. On the international side, the details come from Notebookcheck's September 18 report, which credits GameSir as its source: the global edition's name, the design details, the specifications, and the in-box accessories list all trace back to that report.

Two official names, and where it is on sale

The controller currently has two formal names, one per market:

• Mainland China: 天王星8K《影之刃零》联名款 — Uranus 8K Phantom Blade Zero Edition. "Uranus" (天王星) belongs to the parent company's Chinese product naming, and the official product page plus both store listings use this name.
• Global market: GameSir G7 Pro 8K PC Phantom Blade Zero Edition. This is the official English name GameSir has given the international version, and it places the controller explicitly in the G7 Pro 8K PC line — the line's name first, the game's title appended.

Pricing is currently fixed only for the Chinese market: CNY 549 through the official JD.com and Tmall channels, both reachable from the parent company's product page. Notebookcheck's report converts the price to approximately $82 / €71. For scale, the sibling G7 Pro 8K PC Aimlabs Edition sells on Amazon for $89.99 — the special edition's converted price sits slightly below the Aimlabs Edition's US price, though the two figures come from different regions and different retail channels, so the comparison only indicates an order of magnitude, not a like-for-like discount.

The two names also shape how to find the product. On mainland Chinese storefronts, searching "天王星8K" or "影之刃零 联名手柄" locates the official listings; overseas discussion and retail information circulate under the full name G7 Pro 8K PC Phantom Blade Zero Edition. Since the same product sells under different names in different markets, the product page on GameSir's parent company's website works as the reference point — it is currently the only page that carries both official purchase links, to JD.com and Tmall.

The design: faceplate art and light details

The official renders published with the announcement show the full controller design for the first time. The faceplate carries artwork of Soul, the protagonist of Phantom Blade Zero. Where the September 11 teaser had deliberately hidden the controller's face, the reveal lays out the complete visual language: a dark base color, crimson thread-like lines running across the shell that glow in the dark, and a purple metallic sheen that appears under bright light.

Several details push the special-edition treatment down to the buttons and the dock:

• Home button: the icon is a bell rather than a GameSir or Xbox logo. Dropping the console brand mark is also a quiet hint at the controller's platform positioning — see the compatibility section below.
• Grips: a 3D textured design on both handles.
• Charging dock: the same dock glimpsed in September's teaser, now shown carrying the crimson thread motif and the game's name; when the controller sits in it charging, the dock's light bar glows red.

Hardware: 8K polling and TMR sticks

The special edition's hardware carries over the G7 Pro 8K PC base. The specifications listed in Notebookcheck's report:

• ABXY buttons: micro-switch 2.0 mechanical switches.
• Sticks: GameSir's proprietary JS13 Pro TMR sticks — TMR (tunneling magnetoresistance) being the sensor approach these sticks use.
• Triggers: adjustable travel.
• Bumpers: extra bumper buttons beyond the standard pair.
• Back buttons: two programmable rear buttons.
• Polling rate: 8,000 Hz with 0.25 ms latency — the "8K" in the name refers to this figure.

Based on what has been published, the special edition's differences are concentrated in the themed exterior; the hardware matches its product line, and the report does not list any performance tuning or firmware features unique to the Phantom Blade Zero version.

Device compatibility: what it works with, and what it doesn't

Compatibility is the part of this announcement with the most direct bearing on a purchase decision. Going by the cited report, the controller does not work with Xbox consoles — there is no Xbox button on it, and no Xbox console support appears anywhere in the listed compatibility. Which devices it does connect to, and how, comes together like this:

(The table only organizes the compatibility ranges listed in Notebookcheck's report; connection methods vary by device, and the product page remains the reference for specifics.)

For Phantom Blade Zero players the direction of this list is clear. The game itself ships on PS5 and PC, and this controller is aimed at the PC side — an 8,000 Hz polling rate is standard equipment for competitive PC peripherals. PS5 players fall outside its range; the console side of the collaboration so far belongs to the announcements made on Sony's platforms. For what the PC version demands of hardware, the site keeps a standing summary: Phantom Blade Zero PC system requirements.

What's in the box

The official accessories image and the report's list agree on the following contents:

• Spare grip shells — the accessories graphic labels them (in Chinese) as custom faceplates; one pair, so the faceplate art can be swapped.
• A custom keyring — the official accessories graphic carries its Chinese name, 白蟒赤练; no official English name has been published.
• A custom carry case — a semi-rigid pouch with a red zipper.
• Two spare D-pads.
• A USB-C cable.

The charging dock appears in both the September teaser and the official renders. One ownership question is worth flagging: the report's in-box list does not mention the charging dock, and the official page does not state whether it ships with the controller or is sold separately — the packing list on the Chinese store listings is the reference there. The rest of the in-box list above reflects the cited report and what is visible in the accessories graphic; anything the graphic does not show should be checked against the actual packaging.

Outside China: a name, but no date

For players outside China, only half of the answer exists so far. GameSir has published an official global name — GameSir G7 Pro 8K PC Phantom Blade Zero Edition — which signals that an international release is part of the plan. But no overseas launch date, no regional prices, and no retail channels have been announced. Notebookcheck's report states plainly that the controller "launched first in China," leaving the international timetable unstated.

GameSir's special-edition track record offers context but not a forecast. The Aimlabs Edition sells through Amazon, and earlier G7 Pro collaborations have also leaned on overseas e-commerce channels — a habit of the product line, not a commitment about this edition's date. As of this writing on September 19, 2026, the overseas side of the equation comes down to three missing pieces: a launch date, regional prices, and retail channels. None of the three has a timetable. The pattern of this collaboration so far — the August announcement, the September 11 teaser, the mid-September reveal and Chinese launch — has put every step on GameSir's own social channels first, and further news of the international release is most likely to surface in the same place. The collaboration's other finished product, the VITURE Phantom Beast XR glasses, has already locked its own launch arrangement and makes a useful point of comparison: Phantom Blade Zero XR glasses Phantom Beast.

For anyone ordering from the Chinese channels, two checks are worth making first. The controller does not support Xbox consoles, which rules itself out for Xbox users. And Phantom Blade Zero itself does not launch until October 29 — the controller will arrive before the game, and PC play together becomes possible once the game unlocks. The background on the launch date's move from September 9 sits here: Phantom Blade Zero's 50-day delay, documented, and the pre-order picture is summarized in the pre-order guide.
