Review: Meet the game controller with a focus on floral patterns and funky lights
GameSir is a specialist in controllers for PC, Android, Xbox and Switch devices and has released a wide array of products in this marketplace.
Its latest is the T7 Pro Floral Wired Controller for the Xbox which has a very obvious standout pattern that makes it really eye-catching.
I'll be honest on two fronts, flowery games controllers and a wired device would not normally be my go-to choice, but there is a lot to like here.
Let's look at the visuals first, the design is funky and coats the front with a subtle light blue, turquoise design that actually really does look very smart.
The semi-transparent casing of the controller looks superb with the RGB lighting included providing a stunning effect.
In short, it looks absolutely brilliant, it's a crafted piece of kit that is designed to impress. GameSir know what it is doing with these controllers too and this is packed with the best tech you need for a solid gaming experience.
With Hall Effect Trigger systems giving the smoothest of experiences, gameplay is highly responsive and rewarding. Vibration comes from rumble motors in the grips and triggers.
The Nexus app is the place to go for customising buttons and changing the responsiveness. It adds to the mix and gives control for gamers to enjoy the controller to suit their needs.
As I say, I'm not a fan of wired controllers, mainly because I'm used to wireless devices these days, but after a while I didn't mind.
It's a really good responsive experience. I like the GameSir range and have had a good experience with its controllers, and the fact that this also looks so sharp is a bonus.
What users say
Jennifer Young: "The GameSir T7 Pro Floral takes the original and adds 2 back buttons and some 2-step trigger stops, and on the whole, it does feel a lot better quality build than the T7. The Floral design gave me the impression it would be a little flimsier, but it's a sturdy piece of kit."
Scott Webster: "The most obvious update here is aesthetic: a floral-patterned matte shell paired with a semi-transparent finish and dynamic RGB lighting. It's the kind of controller that looks just as at home in a curated setup as it does in the heat of battle. But underneath that glow is a full-featured wired controller built for responsive, accurate play."

'I sold my face to AI for £1,500 - now I'm terrified I'm trapped in a nightmare'
Lucy was approached with the opportunity to become an AI model just like the celebrities she'd seen on her social media feed. But the easy money soon spiralled into a living nightmare When Lucy* was approached with a message on Instagram about becoming an AI model, she was immediately intrigued. The 23-year-old had noticed stars like Kendall Jenner creating their own AI avatars and fancied giving it a whirl. The AI start-up behind the offer dangled a carrot of £1,500, which to Lucy seemed like easy money and a fascinating venture – so she inked the deal without further counsel. However, Lucy didn't grasp that she had effectively relinquished her rights over her image for life in paid adverts. Now bound by a legal agreement, she's faced with the possibility of her likeness being hawked to endorse products or causes unbeknownst to her. It comes after a warning everyone using Android must restart their phones now as 'critical' warning issued. "It was just an initial DM reach out from a scout wanting to use me for an AI model," Lucy recounted to the Manchester Evening News. "The money is mostly what attracted me. I guess I also found it interesting the whole concept of being an AI model as I've seen celebrities do the same thing in the past on social media so I thought it would be fun to try it myself too." Lucy concedes she signed a complex contract that she now recognises she didn't fully comprehend – a pact that required her to provide numerous video clips to develop her AI model, reports the Manchester Evening News. For more stories like this subscribe to our weekly newsletter, The Weekly Gulp, for a curated roundup of trending stories, poignant interviews, and viral lifestyle picks from The Mirror's Audience U35 team delivered straight to your inbox. "The contract in a nutshell says I can't accept money for brand endorsements," she said. "So if I ever wanted to be a user generated content creator, I can't do that – something I realised actually when we filmed the documentary." She has become the focus of a fresh documentary shot in and around Manchester examining the growing phenomenon of AI models within the user generated content sector. The 20-minute film, created by documentary maker and producer Sam Tullen, delves into the emergence of AI creators. "I remember being on an AI website and just seeing pages upon pages of faces, each capable of reading any script you fed into the site," Sam told the M.E.N. "I was interested to try it out and was mind blown. "I researched further into it and learned that a lot of the AI models on offer across various websites are actually modelled using real people. From that moment, I knew I had to bring attention to it." He explained that whilst Lucy's predicament isn't widespread, it 'could be very soon'. "I think some people are scared that AI companies will take their image from the web without permission anyway so I can see why some may be more accepting of lowball offers. "Lucy now faces the issue of her face being used to say or promote things without her knowledge." He hopes his documentary 'I sold my face to AI for £1,500' will help highlight awareness surrounding these significant technological developments, and the dangers they might present. "We wanted to release this programme online so it can reach global audiences in the hopes it would spark discussion about this issue," she stated. "With the technology advancing faster than the laws surrounding it, there does need to be more awareness, and I hope this doc contributes in some way to that conversation." *Names have been changed to protect anonymity.

Exact date millions of Scots will be sent emergency government alert to phones
The system is designed for situations where there is an imminent danger to life, such as extreme weather or a terror attack BE AWARE Exact date millions of Scots will be sent emergency government alert to phones Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MILLIONS of mobile phones across Scotland are set to receive another emergency alert in weeks. The system is designed for situations where there is an imminent danger to life, such as extreme weather or a terror attack. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Millions of Scots have been warned to expect another emergency alert test Credit: PA And it is hoped that the mobile phone alerts could save lives during raging storms or when wildfires break out. After previous tests in 2023, the system was used for real earlier this year. Back in January, the Government issued an alert during Storm Eowyn to warn people in Scotland and Northern Ireland about severe weather. At the time, a red weather warning was in place, meaning there was a risk to life. It was the largest ever use of the system, with around 4.5 million people receiving the alert. And now a Cabinet minister has revealed that Scots are set to receive another test alert in the coming weeks. On Sunday, September 7, at around 3pm, mobile phones across Scotland connected to 4G and 5G will receive the test alert. During the test, mobile phones will vibrate and make a loud siren-like sound for roughly ten seconds, even if they are set to silent. iPhone and Android users will have to acknowledge the alert before they can continue using their devices. In addition to vibrations and noise, mobile phone users will receive a message, making it clear the alert is only a test. Three little-known ways 'unknown tracker alerts' on Android can keep you safe It will read: "This is a test of Emergency Alerts, a UK Government service that will warn you if there's a life-threatening emergency nearby. "You do not need to take any action. "In a real emergency, follow the instructions in the alert to keep yourself and others safe. "Find simple and effective advice on how to prepare for emergencies at SCAM WARNING SCOTS have previously been warned about potential scams by criminals seeking to exploit the Emergency Alert System test. Advice Direct Scotland said people should be wary of requests from anyone claiming to be connected to the alerts system asking for remote access to mobile phones or other devices. The charity also stressed that any requests for personal or financial information through text message, email, or by telephone claiming to be related to testing activity would be bogus. Lyndsay McFee, team lead at said: 'For the activity on Sunday, April 23, you will receive a notification saying that there is a test taking place which will pop up on your screen and can be swiped away like any other alert. 'The system does not track your location, require your phone number to be entered, or collect any of your personal data. 'Scammers often reach out through text message, email, or by phone call to request what may seem like insignificant information. "However, these tactics can be used to gather our data to use against us later. 'If you receive a request from someone claiming to be contacting you in relation to the alerts, you can report this using the Quick Reporting Tool at or alternatively by contacting the team at Cabinet minister Pat McFadden said the drill will be one of the biggest public safety exercises" in UK history. He said: "From major storms to wildfires, this system could save your life in an emergency. "Just like the fire alarm in your house, it's important we test the system so that we know it will work if we need it. "This test will be one of the biggest public safety exercises in our nation's history. "Mark the date, spread the word and take a moment to think about how you would respond in a real emergency." There are estimated to be 87 million mobile phones in the UK.

But in normal usage, NordVPN still offers a good internet speed - even when connected to a server location on the other side of the planet."
