EasySMX X10 Wireless PC Controller with Dual Hall Effect, Bluetooth Controller for PC/Switch/Steam/Android TV, Mobile - Include a White Swappable Faceplate

I purchased this controller for a mini-PC, living room TV setup, with its primary usage on a Windows 11 OS for Steam and emulation gaming. This device connected very easily using the BT mode, and Windows 11 recognized the gamepad without any issues. The controller itself is very sturdy, weighty and has a solid grip to the hands. It feels quality. The button push has a quality feel you get with premium controllers and matches my XBOne controller. I like the swappable faceplate idea, but have found the default purple was attractive enough not to mess with changing those. What I love most about this controller is the compatibility with mulit systems. I've tried it with my Win11 PC using BT, Wired and Wireless 2.4GHz. I've connected it with my Switch, and it even works flawlessly with my iPad. CON: Wireless 2.4G is very spotty. My only warning is that if your intent is to only use it with the wireless 2.4GHz mode, the range is poor. I was 12-15ft away from the PC on the couch, and if I put the controller in my lap and blocked the line of sight to the PC with my knees, I lost the signal. You can easily lose signal at that distance by just pointing the controller upright towards the ceiling. The wireless mode required me to point the controller directly at the USB dongle without anything in the way. BUT! Bluetooth is the way to go. I have no reason to keep it in Wireless 2.4G mode, When I'm connected with Bluetooth, the responsiveness is an A+ at the 15 feet, regardless of how I sit or position the controller.

The controller feels just like an original Xbox Core Controller except it weights less and has a longer lasting battery rechargeable and extra buttons. I use it daily on Warzone, it performs really well using the 2.4ghz mode but wired has the least amount of input delay. I have used the Bluetooth on my phone but I do not play phone games too often and also my phone weights more than the controller making it hard to play on it. Best $40 dollars spent on a controller, ever. Pros -Build quality -Connectivity works great ( Wireless 2.4ghz and wired ) -2 back buttons ( I use A & B for cooking in warzone ) -No stick drift( I use 0 deadzone on the left stick and 2 deadzone on the right stick for warzone ) -Comes with replaceable face plate for extra customization -Lightweight -Great Battery life Cons D-Pad quality ( not a problem since the games do not require use of the D-Pad like a fighting game. ) Turbo mode ( It's only a con because it could *potentially get you ban in games like warzone, If you use it you get a message saying unsupported Device warning ) I have owned dozens of controllers in the past, from the core xbox controller, to the elite, dualshock 4 and dualsense. The only controller that I consider as a better is the Dualshock 4, besides that this controller is great for those who want to play FPS shooters without worrying about stick drift. I've owned 3 dual sense controllers, 2 damaged from stick drift extremely fast. Imagine paying $200 USD to get a controller that is going to get stick drift in 2024, couldn't be me.

I bought this a while back and have now spent a lot of time using it on several games, but especially on several of the Assassin's Creed games. This controller is phenomenal for such a low price. It's just the right weight, it feels really solid, and the buttons and switches are all very good quality. It's highly responsive and very comfortable to hold for long periods of time. I have mostly used it on a PC, and most games that support a controller just detect it and set the buttons all optimally with no further configuration. I have used it on a Switch a few times, and it works well for that. I have not tried any of the other system options that it supports, but I would expect that it works as well on those too. The fact that it can work wirelessly or via a USB cable is great. This controller was a replacement in my PC gaming for an XBox One controller I was using, which also works well when plugged in via a USB. I really prefer this one over the XBox controller.

The controller itself is fine. Analog sticks feel good and the mechanical face buttons and D Pad have a satisfying click. Analog sticks have a good tension and are accurate, however...The only app for this deivce is Android, so no Windows or IOS app, which is currently broken and unusable. The app won't connect to the controller at all. After you go through the steps to connect it, it won't see the controller. This make paddle buttons on the bottom unusable, as they can only be programmed though the app. After a lot of back and forth on their official Discord channel, I initially exchanged the gamepad at their suggestion, which of course didn't solve anything. After some more back and forth with myself and several others with the same issue, the EasySMX representative admitted that application support for this gamepad is currently broken, with an unknown eta on a fix. Now I have to decide whether to keep it and hope that they eventually fix the app, or send it back and get one of the competitors with a functional app to program the gamepad. EDIT They fixed the app. Adjusting my review. The controller gets an easy 4 stats now with a functioning app.

The controller worked great until about a year in when the back bumper broke off but they have been great and offered to replace it with a new product! For the customer service alone I would definitely buy from this company again!

"Drift free" Sure. This controller is barely a month old and the sticks are useless, left one has dead and right one barely works. Of course directly outside of the warranty, It's built nicely but that's just to hide the fact the internals are junk.

I've had this controller for just under a month now, and while I like the mechanical buttons, the shape, and the white and black swappable trim pieces, its Bluetooth functionality has been faulty. When I first connect it to my computer via Bluetooth it will show up as an Xbox 360 controller. Then, after about 10-30 minutes, it will sometimes disconnect on its own despite my continued use of it and the battery being fully charged. When I try to reconnect it via Bluetooth sometimes it will reconnect okay, but several times it has shown up as a different type of controller called Pro Controller that doesn't work with the games that I play (they expect and Xbox controller). I've decided to return this one in exchange for a new one, so we'll see if the new one has the same problem. I'll update this review once I've had a chance to test the new one out. The USB wired and wireless modes (using the included USB dongle) do work well, but I prefer using Bluetooth so I expect that to work properly. I haven't tried the Nintendo Switch mode. I did download the Android app available on the EasySMX website, but it did not offer any firmware updates for the controller. It was relatively easy to customize the 2 macro buttons to my liking, and it also allowed me to configure dead zones for the joysticks and triggers among other things. It also allows you to recalibrate the joysticks and triggers should the need arise, which is nice. I noticed that when you use the app to configure the controller it causes the controller to show up to the phone as a different type of Bluetooth device, so I'm assuming that something is causing it to switch to that different mode randomly while I'm using it with my computer. Maybe they could fix it via a firmware update if the replacement controller doesn't solve the problem.

PRO'S - (1) Pricing. (2) It's a solid controller that feels premium when holding it or pressing buttons. I almost purchased an expensive scuf controller that would have cost $200. I am glad I saved my money and purchased this instead. (3) I have tested multiple devices such as Lenovo Legion Go, PC, and Samsung Galaxy S23, all worked. CON'S - (1) The controller has it's issues. For example, it comes with an app that allows you to configure the deadzones, triggers, etc... but I believe it's only available for android users. The application is called "EASYSMX" and it's not available to download in the app store. You'll need to google it. The app itself has questionable permissions, download it, configure controller, and uninstall it. (2) If you're planning to use the controller with Steam, make sure you connect the wireless adapter before opening up the Steam application, otherwise, the controller won't adapt to your steam controller settings. Even worse, you may have to restart your entire computer and once again open up Steam. (3) When switching between bluetooth and adapter dongle mode, you can accidently disconnect the controller from the adapter and both the controller and adapter will begin flashing. To fix this, simply look for the small button on your USB dongle adapter and press or hold it until the controller is once again connected. Overall, I have enjoyed the controller, it's both accurate in 3rd person & 1st person games and feels like any expensive premium controller. No need to look else where and purchase an over priced controller. IMO buy one now while it's $50 or on sale. It was initially released at $30 and because it received so much praise, they increased their pricing to $50. It's possible the price could go up again. I highly recommend it, Goodluck!

A great controller for PC, android, iPhone, Switch, Steam, etc. NOT for XBox or PS5. Very satisfying controls. All mechanical clicky buttons instead of rubber membrane. LONG lasting Hall Effect triggers and joysticks. Face plates can be swapped out if that interests you. No light show (who cares?). Really well made and can hook up using Bluetooth, WiFi Dangle, or USB wired. A great controller at a very good price. I am very happy with it and recommend it!!

Es un excelente control pero, la paquetería Imile fallando como siempre, dijo que mi paquete ya habia sido entregado cuando no fue asi. Lo bueno es que el vendedor amable y atento me hizo el reembolso.

Best gamepad in this budget...

I consider this X10 for PC (but also Mac!) by EasySMX, or for other devices like the Nintendo Switch for example, to be as premium as any official offering by more "brand" name companies. There is so much offered here I don't even know where to begin. Let's just start with the exterior of the device. I have an XBOX S also that comes with a white controller. As a 2nd controller, I bought a "space titanium grey" version that I use primarily, and save the white ones for when friends play with me. This unit is unique in that it offers those same two colour varieties... in one controller! There are custom plates that can be seamlessly added or removed, by simply switched them around and they click on easily and (I believe) magnetically. Such a cool feature just to begin with. But then there are a substantial amount of extra, programmable buttons across the entire unit, and fantastic vibration features. What I like the most about it, is that it's a proper Bluetooth device, and can connect to my modern laptops both PC or Mac, without the need for a dongle, which happens to be included in case you're using this controller with some kind of non-bluetooth capable device. Some say that IR controlling is a faster wireless connection. That might have been true once but bluetooth is so fast now, and this is clearly up to that standard, I have no latency issues using the bluetooth only connection. Whatever the case, the IR dongle is there as well. The unit can be charged via USB-C and the included cord is braided fabric, which is very nice and comfortable to move around with if you're keeping it attached to play. Again, there is no latency I can determine while using bluetooth, but in case you're picky about it, you certainly can play with the cord attached. There is nothing I don't like about this gamepad, it's everything I would expect from a premium game pad three times the price, but you can get it for an amazing value in this package without having to pay the extra. For gamers, this kind of value is priceless. 5 stars.

The EasySMX X10 PC Controller offers a range of features for gamers looking for a versatile and customizable controller option. With a focus on personalization and precision, the controller introduces several notable functionalities. Customization Options The controller's magnetic swappable faceplate feature allows for a degree of personalization, enabling users to adjust its appearance according to their preference.

Precision and Control Equipped with hall effect joysticks and triggers, the EasySMX X10 promises improved input precision. This technology aims to enhance the gaming experience by offering smoother and more accurate control. However, the real-world difference may vary depending on the user's sensitivity to controller input nuances. Battery Life A standout feature is the controller's extended battery life, boasting up to 40 hours of gameplay on a single charge. This longevity is convenient, reducing the frequency of recharges needed during extensive gaming sessions. Mechanical Keys The inclusion of mechanical keys is intended to provide a more tactile and responsive gaming experience. While they do offer a distinctive feel compared to standard controller buttons, the overall benefit is subject to personal preference. Compatibility and Connectivity Designed to be compatible with a range of platforms, including PC, Switch, iOS, and Android, the controller offers broad usability. However, users should note that performance and compatibility might vary across devices. Back Keys and Customization The controller includes two custom back keys, which are a welcome addition for gamers looking to tailor their control setup. However, the process and utility of customization could benefit from further refinement for a more intuitive experience. Overall Impression The EasySMX X10 PC Controller is a solid choice for gamers looking for a customizable and versatile controller. While it introduces several promising features, the actual enhancements to the gaming experience are more evolutionary than revolutionary. It competes well in its price range, offering good value for those in search of a reliable alternative to mainstream controllers.
