Description
The FANTECH EVO GP17 Wired Gamepad is designed for gamers who want precise control, responsive inputs, and extensive customization across multiple gaming platforms. Featuring Hall Effect analog sticks and triggers, a 1000Hz polling rate, 22 buttons, and programmable rear paddles, this controller delivers a versatile gaming experience for action games, racing titles, fighting games, sports simulations, and more.
One of the standout features of the EVO GP17 is its Hall Effect technology. Both the analog sticks and triggers use magnetic sensing to detect movement and input, helping reduce wear-related stick drift associated with conventional contact-based sensors. The analog sticks provide precise directional control, while the Hall Effect triggers support smooth analog input for acceleration, braking, and other pressure-sensitive actions in compatible games.
With a 1000Hz wired polling rate, the GP17 can report inputs at intervals as short as one millisecond on supported devices. Its 22-button layout provides a wide range of controls, including mechanical rear paddles that let you access important commands without removing your thumbs from the analog sticks.
The controller also supports macro recording with sequences of up to 63 button inputs per macro, according to the retailer’s specifications. Its Turbo function offers three adjustable speed levels for compatible actions, while four rumble intensity levels allow you to customize vibration feedback according to your preferences.
Built for multi-platform gaming, the FANTECH EVO GP17 supports PC, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PS3, Android, and iOS devices that support wired controller input. Its USB-A connection and 1.8-meter cable provide straightforward wired connectivity without requiring a rechargeable controller battery.
Combining precision-focused controls, customizable inputs, tactile feedback, and broad platform support, the FANTECH EVO GP17 is a practical choice for gamers looking to upgrade their wired gaming setup.

Hall Effect Analog Sticks
The EVO GP17 features Hall Effect analog sticks that use magnetic sensors to detect movement. This non-contact sensing technology helps reduce wear-related stick drift and supports consistent directional control. It is useful for aiming, character movement, camera control, and precision-based gameplay.
Hall Effect Analog Triggers
The Hall Effect triggers provide smooth analog input for compatible games. Unlike simple on/off controls, analog triggers can register varying levels of pressure, making them useful for acceleration and braking in racing games and other pressure-sensitive actions.
1000Hz Wired Polling Rate
With a 1000Hz polling rate, the controller can report inputs up to 1,000 times per second on supported devices. This corresponds to a reporting interval of approximately one millisecond and is designed to provide responsive control during fast-paced gaming sessions.
Programmable Rear Paddles and Macro Support
The GP17 features mechanical rear paddles that provide additional control options without requiring you to move your thumbs away from the analog sticks. Its macro functionality supports recording and replaying button sequences of up to 63 inputs per macro, according to the retailer. These options allow users to tailor supported controls to their preferred gaming style.
Three-Level Turbo and Adjustable Rumble
The Turbo function offers three speed levels for supported repeated inputs. The controller also provides four adjustable rumble intensity levels, allowing you to customize vibration feedback for a more personalized gaming experience. Feature availability may depend on the game and platform.
Multi-Platform Wired Connectivity
The EVO GP17 connects through a wired USB-A interface and includes a 1.8-meter PVC cable. It supports compatible PC, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PS3, Android, and iOS devices. Mobile devices may require a suitable OTG adapter, and compatibility depends on the operating system and game.
