EasySMX Wired Gaming Controller,PC Game Controller Joystick with Dual-Vibration Turbo and Trigger Buttons for Windows PC/ PS3/ Android TV Box/Tesla(Black)

Had this for 1 month and I game HEAVILY and this controller seems very tough. The rubber grips on the handles feel strange at first since I'm not used to them but they do help in keeping hands cool if you have sweaty hands while gaming.Size is about the same as an original Xbox controller, the triggers and bumpers are fantastic. Very smooth and responsive. My only drawbacks and these are mostly personal preference are the joysticks and the color buttons.The color buttons are of a blocky feel but while some might believe that they are input delay like other blocky buttons, these are quite responsive. There is slight delay but it is almost imperceptive that I often wonder if I imagine it. Lookalikes tend to have the smooth buttons from original but usually develop failures like blemishes on the cylinders or the tactile rubber pad underneath develops tears that lead to button sticking.The joysticks have small heads and they are very smooth compared to an original which have more resistance. I fear stick drift but the sticks on this are sealed for dust, we will see with time how the soft sticks behave. I'm a guy but have small hands and small fingers yet the joystick heads feel small, perhaps its the style of bevel on the rubber that creates a "cup" on the head which makes it feel smaller than it is.I will say the rubber bevel with textured grip are amazing.I'm very satisfied with it and I see myself buying these as my default replacement and my new product for my PC controller needs.

Ask any gamer who's been playing for a few years all they will all tell you the same thing, "Controllers are ripoffs" and we're not talking about the special limited edition ones. From the $80 for a new pair of Joy Con for the Switch, $60 for a PS4, or the absurd $300+ for Xbox Elites, controllers are over priced and either don't offer enough to justify their price or offer TOO MUCH that you don't need/never use to inflate the price.The EasySMX, though a bit dated now, is none of that. I've owned several for a few years now and they are comfortable enough for long term gaming hours while sturdy and weighted enough to not have to worry about breaking by accident. Trust me, I had to toss my first one like 4 or 5 times against a wall to even get one of the buttons to start sticking and it still worked for the most part.The design is good, following an Xbox style, but not always the best. The central LED light is very bright and a bit blinding. I would recommend putting a piece of tape or a sticker on it to cover that up and not hurt your eyes. Trust me, you can still press the button even with a sticker on it. Another thing that is kind of hard to explain, but the XYAB buttons are a bit too... rounded? I've only noticed this problem when I'm playing a racing game which requires me to hold one button continuously for a long period of time, but the shape can be a bit painful after a long while. I feel like it should be a bit more concave, but again these are very minor complaints I can overlook thanks to the inclusion of the Turbo function.The Turbo function is an amazing gift that not enough controllers in this modern day include which is one of the main reasons why I like the EasySMX as it is always included in regardless of it's design model from what i've seen. Now, as an older gamer I have early signs of arthritis in my right hand, particularly around the thumb area. So having a game that requires me to button mash a single button over and over again, looking at you Devil May Cry or other combo action games, is actually painful for me. Being able to turn these multiple mashes into a single press to ease the stress on my hand when I feel it is becoming too painful is amazing. There is no doubt in my mind that I'm able to continue playing certain games ssimply because this controller offers this simple overlooked feature.Overall the EasySMX is a great controller most average gamer needs. Simple and functional with a price that won't break your wallet in these trying times. From a long time user of this controller, trust me. I went from owning one and now I have three. I have not used another controller that has felt as good and easy to use as this one. Even replaced my Steam Controller with one.

First thing I observed after unboxing the controller and holding it: HOW IT FITS IN MY HANDS. Nothing in my life has ever fit my hands, until now! Initially, the plastic shell of the controller felt kinda cheap and less durable to me than similar controllers. I realized after closer examination I was completely misinterpreting it. Since this controller has a wired connection only, it lacks the rear battery compartment found on wireless models. Without the AAx2, the extra plastic, and the metal fittings and internals weighing down the back of the controller, you'll notice a reduction in fatigue and with the buttons and joys being slightly closer together, you'll experience a very slight increase in fine motor functions and reflexes. I am most in love with the smaller size compared to licensed wireless controllers. Accommodates my larger fat palms and shorter stubby fingers better. It's just a slight bit smaller. Even if you prefer the official Xbox wireless controller, I don't see where using this smaller design would jeopardize a person's gaming skill or performance. It feels right. Buttons are all responsive, fast, and crisp. I tested all buttons, joys, joy buttons, d-pad, and menu functions. Green lights across the board. 100% functioning as intended. The triggers and bumpers all feel natural and fluid. The button action is ultra-responsive and oddly satisfying. Even more satisfying is the instant and powerful force it exerts as a trigger returns to its original position. I can almost convince myself I experience a sensation of air wisping across the tops of my fingers and my knuckles every time the triggers snap back to formation. On windows 10, the center home button triggers a dashboard UI displayed over the game image. It's an Xbox feature, which you may have to install. It serves as an all in one gaming tool. Displays real-time performance values such as RAM, CPU, and frame rate to name a few. At the top of the UI, you will find a few different image/audio/voice capturing and control. Everything you need to capture your game and in-game commentary. All without ever setting down the controller and picking up a mouse or striking a key on a keyboard. The center home button also changes the gaming platform modes. Choose from PC, Xbox, Android, and iOS modes instantly. It does not require any additional drivers. Just plug and play. It also features a Turbo button to assign the classic turbo function to any other command button. I would give it five stars, especially for the price being under $20 including shipping, but I've only used the controller in-game for less than a total hour.. If it can withstand a month of hard floors and two pets, I will give that extra star.
