The wired G7 SE updates through the GameSir Nexus app (Microsoft Store, Windows or Xbox). Plug the controller in with the USB-C cable, open Nexus, and apply any offered firmware. If Nexus does not show the latest version, GameSir provides a standalone manual upgrader for PC. Never unplug the controller while the update is running.
