EasySMX Wireless PC Controller with Hall Triggers, Hall Joysticks, Bluetooth Controller for PC, Switch and Steam, Android TV, Android Mobile and iPhone/iPad - Include a White Swappable Faceplate

Best gamepad in this budget...

Don’t buy it if you have Xbox

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.

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!!

I like the mechanical buttons and removable face plates. The analog triggers and sticks are all on point as well. The drawbacks are as follows: -the bumpers feel plasticky and loose/cheap, -the app to configure the macros is pretty terrible -motion only works in nintendo switch mode, not on windows (unlike the 8bitdo controllers which support motion on windows) -the a and b buttons get flipped in nintendo switch mode with no clear option to flip it back according to preference -as far as I can tell, there is no documentation for the turbo button

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.

Within 3 weeks stick drift ruined my controller. I set deadzones to the max but still unusable, ive never seen this with even the cheapest controllers. I think i got a dud. The controller was perfect the first week. My most favorite controller ever, I was about to buy another for my wife. I emailed the company and will definitely update my review if they make it right. But as of now, its completely useless and I bought it 6 weeks ago. The return policy is only 4 weeks, I assumed 90 day policy was still the norm.
