I bought and tested 3 different 'budget' wireless controllers. After my testing let me tell you this controller (the EasySMX X05) is the absolute king of multiple controller setups.I repeat .... the EasySMX X05 is the king of multi controller setups on PC.The other 2 INFERIOR controllers I tested were the 8BitDo Ultimate 2c and the Anbernic PG 01.INFERIOR controller #1, The 8BitDo Ultimate 2c. The 8BitDo Ultimate 2c is the worst out of all 3 controllers for a multi controller setup. Not even 2 8BitDo controllers will work at the same time. i think the receiver/transmitter dongle for all 8BitDo controllers use the exact same channel on the 2.4Ghz frequency because there's not even a sync button on the dongle.INFERIOR controller #2.... The Anbernic PG 01. The Anbernic PG 01 came close butthe huge negative is if you turn off the controller and turn it back on again you have to resync/pair it with the dongle. And You have to resync every time you turn on the controller. Hell no.Meanwhile the EasySMX performed flawlessly in a multi controller setup. I had 4 EasySMX controllers running at the same time playing Left 4 Dead 2 and Borderlands 2 (using the Nucleus Co-op software). It was amazing. And these controllers are amazing.

I ordered this controller as a replacement for another X05 that just broke for me.The right trigger had a small piece of plastic inside snap off, rendering the trigger function useless.. the first controller was ordered in August 2024, so the X05 didn't even last a full year before breaking.So why order a replacement? Two reasons..1: I really like this controller.. like a LOT. It's very comfortable and easy to use. You can disable vibration with the built-in controller settings, so I don't have to adjust it for every game. You can also turn off the lights around the joystick (saves more battery). It also has auto-fire at the touch of a button, but I don't use it much.2: Because of reason 1, I'm hoping my issue was an uncommon problem that won't happen with this controller.But the main reason for purchasing this controller was the hall effect joysticks.. it basically means I never have to worry about stick-drift. Official controllers cost 3x as much, but stick-drift will happen seemingly at random.. some controllers last years before it happens, others weeks.. not the X05.One complaint is that for my particular situation, my PC recognizes the USB dongle and wired USB of the controller as two separate controllers (it's a windows problem).So if I'm playing wirelessly, the battery starts to blink, I plug it into my PC to charge, my PC has trouble figuring out which input to use since it recognizes TWO controllers.Most games I play will automatically swap to the new controller, but on some rare occasions, I have to unplug or turn off the USB bluetooth connector.Lastly I wanted to talk about how I use the controller, which is exclusively for PC games. I've probably put a good 1000+ hours into the first X05 that broke, so on one hand you could say it's pretty durable.. but after it broke, when I opened the controller up to look at the problem, I noticed the trigger is probably the cheapest part of the product with barely any supportive plastic to prevent a similar issue in the future.Still, I would definitely recommend this product, and wanted to add that after my original review, their customer service reached out to me and refunded me for the broken controller. I didn't ask for it, they just did it! 5 stars for a great product and customer service.

Update: As of today the LB no longer works at all on the controller. I have not even had it 30 days and I am not a hardcore gamer! Save yourself the headacheThe controller looks nice and is a great price but the battery life is horrible on it. I play a couple hours a day and have had to charge it multiple times in just the few days I have had it

Bought this controller to use on a mobile gaming device, based on Android. Since it was Android, I needed something that uses bluetooth. This controller easily went into pairing mode, the device found it much faster than I anticipated, and it connected with no issues whatsoever. The connection appears strong, as I was using the controller while sitting about ten feet from the gaming device. I turned off the controller and rebooted the gaming device, to test the connection memory, and there was no issue; the controller instantly connected and was usable after rebooting both. I was impressed immediately upon holding this controller in my hand, it feels like a fancier version of the Xbox360 controller; the trigger buttons are molded in different angles and there is a slip-resistant covering on the handles. Since Xbox360 was my all time favorite console, this felt right at home in my hands. Very impressed with the quality and tech of this low-cost controller.

Bought this controller on sale due to increasing problems with an older Xbox One controller for PC I had. There are only a few games I play with a controller, so I didn’t want to spend too much.Right out of the box, this feels better in the hands than the Xbox controller ever did. The Hall effect thumbsticks and triggers are especially of note, as they do feel very smooth and accurate. The other buttons are not as impressive, but they still feel relatively light and clicky.Connectivity is a mixed bag. This works great using Bluetooth, wired, or connected to the Nintendo switch. It’s basically non-functional when connected via 2.4ghz USB dongle. The sticks will pick up, but none of the buttons will. This isn’t an issue for my situation but is still disappointing, and it might be a dealbreaker for your setup. Note that you will have increased input latency using Bluetooth vs. wired or USB dongle. Also, while this works fine for Switch, note that the A and B buttons and the X and Y buttons are swapped. Not a fault on EasyXMS’s part - this is a Nintendo button pattern going back to the Super NES. The buttons will still work where they would on a Switch controller (pressing B will register A in-game, etc.).I haven’t really tested battery life, as I keep it plugged up to the PC most of the time unless I’m playing something or connecting to Switch, so I can’t comment on that.I also hear a lot of complaints that buttons will just stop working over time. I have no comment as these are mostly my first impressions over several days of use. Everything feels solid at the moment; time will tell.Overall, the controller looks and feels great in the hands; much better than the price would suggest. Docking a star for the connectivity issues. Again, I can’t stress this enough - the 2.4 wireless connection is basically unusable. If you rely on this, steer clear. Otherwise, if you need a cheap Switch controller and don’t mind the swapped button letters, or you’re okay with a wired/bluetooth connection, this feels like a really solid budget option.

Compré esta mando para poder jugar de 2 personas en PC (ya tenía otro mando original Xbox). Este modelo me gustó por tener la pastilla USB para mejorar la latencia. La verdad funciona bien, el lag, si lo tiene, es imperceptible. El tacto de botones y joysticks es muy bueno. Me gusta mucho el color y la iluminación RGB esta bien y es configurable. En el modo PC es muy fácil de sincronizar con el receptor USB y la batería dura tranquilamente 6 o 7 horas dependiendo del juego. La vibración es correcta y similiar a la de un mando xbox.Lo único distinto que he encontrado es que los joysticks tienen el recorrido con un poco de exporencial, por lo que hay que mover la palanca un poco más que en un mando original para tener el mismo resultado, pero el resto de gatillos y botones van perfectos. Lo recomiendo por el precio que tiene.
