# GameSir Connect: reconstructing controller-profile share codes

> GameSir Connect share-code research reconstructs the desktop app's controller-profile export format and supplies a Python codec for editing and reimporting profiles. The documented GAMESIR: pipeline combines JSON, gzip, Base64 and AES-256-CBC, with a derived key and IV; the author reports testing on a GameSir G7 Pro.

## Requirements & limits

- **Prerequisites:** Requires Python and the cryptography dependency to use the codec.
- **Testing evidence:** The author reports empirical testing on the GameSir G7 Pro; other controller models are not individually tested.
- **Limits:** GameSir Connect may reject exported profiles containing fields outside its base template; encode --importable removes those fields.
- **License:** MIT license.
