Specification Summary

Background & Positioning

The FORCE GC300 WIRELESS was launched alongside the FORCE PRO WIRELESS, building on MSI’s earlier GC30 and GC20 controllers so it sits as the mid-tier, everyday gaming controller in MSI’s current lineup, below the Pro model but with a meaningfully upgraded feature set compared to its predecessors.

Design & Build

• Weighs just 230g, giving it a lightweight feel that supports extended, fatigue-free sessions
• Features anti-slip side grips for secure handling during intense gameplay
• White colorway with a clean, minimalist aesthetic pairs well with white-themed PC/desk setups
• Ergonomic contouring designed to reduce hand strain over long sessions

Connectivity in Depth

• 2.4GHz Wireless: Low-latency dongle-based connection, best for competitive/responsive gameplay
• Bluetooth: Convenient for casual use with PCs, tablets, and mobile devices without needing the dongle
• Wired (USB-C to A): Zero-latency fallback option, also used for charging
• Also includes audio controls via a 3.5mm jack, letting you plug in a headset directly into the controller during wireless or wired play

Software Ecosystem

The controller integrates with MSI Center, MSI’s unified software hub, which allows:

• Remapping the two rear programmable buttons
• Adjusting trigger sensitivity/response curves
• Fine-tuning vibration intensity
• Firmware updates for the controller

Ideal Use Cases

• PC gamers wanting console-style input without console lock-in
• Users who play across multiple devices (PC, Android phone, tablet) and want one controller for all
• Competitive players who value Hall effect triggers (no mechanical wear-based drift over time, unlike traditional potentiometer triggers)
• Anyone wanting a lightweight, all-day-comfortable pad for long sessions

What’s in the Box

• FORCE GC300 WIRELESS WHITE controller
• 2.4GHz Wireless USB dongle
• 2m USB-C to A charging/data cable

Note on Compatibility

It’s built primarily for PC (Windows 10+) and Android (8.0+) it isn’t natively certified for PlayStation or Xbox consoles, so it’s best suited to PC/mobile gamers rather than console players looking for a first-party-style pad.
