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

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.

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.

Originally, I had bought this controller for gaming on Bluetooth, I ended up liking it on the wireless dongle more. Playing it on Bluetooth felt like the input lag was so high for me to do anything in any game. It would take 5-6 seconds for the controller to realize that I hit A or moved left. It was just unplayable. This is what takes 1 star away from the review. Switching to the wireless dongle. The input lag is gone and I can play without any problems. Moving over to comfort of the controller. It's very comfortable for me as I have small hands. I like the front grips and back grips. Unlike the XBOX controllers, the analog sticks do not hurt my thumb after awhile. The DPAD has a tactile feeling and it has a slight soft feel as well. The battery itself will last you an entire day before you need to charge it up. It takes about 2-3 hours for a full charge. When you plug in the charger, it will glow orange. When it has finished charging, it will turn off the orange light. You can play xCloud games with this controller. Though, you may run into an issue in some games where the button gets unbounded in a game and you'll have to restart the game in xCloud to fix it.

I've tried a handful of different gaming controllers for pc and android phone gaming, and so far this is the one. Buttons are nice and clicky, sticks and triggers are accurate and smooth, and it's plenty comfortable. It connects fast, reconnects effortlessly, and hasn't had trouble connecting to anything I've tried it with so far. It's also quite fast for a Bluetooth controller, no noticeable input lag at all. If I had to complain about anything, I wish the light on it were adjustable or less bright. Had to put electrical tape over it to keep it from blinding me when playing in a dark room. But that's really not that big of a deal, especially for the quality and price

Best gamepad in this budget...

Don’t buy it if you have Xbox

Have had this controller less than 3 weeks and so far the hall effect joysticks are great. Everything is else feels very cheap and. Pros: - Joysticks feels great Cons: - My right trigger now sticks down for half a second if completely pressed. - Both my A and Y buttons also squeak with nearly every press. - Controller sometimes does not connect to dongle after going to sleep. Pressing the dongle pair doesn't help when this happens either and the controller just keeps flashing. It may not be the most expensive controller — but I was really expected it to last a little longer before having problems like this, considering that the standard Microsoft controllers last me well over a year before showing any signs of malfunction.

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!!

This controller's got a teeny bit of heft to it, just a little more weight than the x10 it is replacing. Prly thanks to a larger battery. Didn't know about the magnetic plate, it's made of plastic but maybe you can get a shiny chrome faceplate if it's sold separately. Joysticks etc. feel snug, but one thing I don't like is the buttons make a loud click like a computer mouse. That could become annoying if you cannot tune it out. Also doesn't have the cool disco lights on it, but everything else seems fine.
