EasySMX Wireless Game Joystick Controller, 2.4G Wireless Gamepad Joystick PC, Dual Vibration, 14 Hours of Playing for PC/Steam/PS3/TV BOX/Nintendo Switch

Got 2 of these for my PC to play Street Fighter / Tekken with my 8 year old son, needless to say, the entire family has ate Hadokens. These controllers are amazing for the money. They hold a charge for a very long time, they connect effortlessly, I don't care what they look like but still kind of look cool, they are by far the best you can get for the price point, or at least at the time of purchase, this is quite some time later I'm leaving this review. Still no drift on joysticks, no buttons that stick, no bumpers broken. Perfectly flawless.

I bought this to replace an official Xbox 360 controller. The cord was getting annoying, one of the numpad keys was acting up, and the USB connector had troubles connecting, so I needed a new one and decided why not just go wireless. Glad I did. Looked for a cheap wireless controller under $40. This one for $35 fit perfectly.When I first got it, the LB button didn't work. I opened it up to see if it was something I could easily fix, but it was likely missing a spring so there wasn't much I could do about it. That's fine. One can expect to get a broken product every now and then when buying this sort of thing. Returned it via amazon, got a new one the next day, and it works marvelously. I've been using it for 2 weeks so far to play some rougelite games. Moonlighter, Lost Castle, and Rouge Legacy. Works wonderfully. It takes a couple of seconds to pair to the adapter the first time, but after you pair it, it connects instantly. As for battery life, I literally just finished the first power cycle. It just now died and is charging. I got around 48 hours of use out of it, though it's worth noting that I was primarily playing Moonlighter during that time and it doesn't use rumble very often. I imagine the battery life would be significantly shorter for a game that uses rumble more.The main issue is the build quality. It feels super cheaply made compared to the XBox 360 controller I replaced Another VERY minor complaint is there's no visual or tactile indicator on the adapter so you can tell from a glance or a touch which way to insert it. Like how your charging cable has a USB symbol on the top. It's no big deal and I just put a sticker on the top side as an indicator.All in all, this is a fantastic wireless gamepad for the price. Highly recommend.

I tried a few other controllers found here on Amazon including the Gamesir T4 Kaleid and FORTY4 Wireless Gaming Controller. The Gamesir T4 is a nice controller but requires a newer Linux kernel (6.6+ ?) to be recognized. This takes several distributions out of the running including Debian 12 (which I run). You might be OK on a "rolling release" distro though.The FORTY4, which looks like it uses the same USB receiver as the EasySMX 9110, would only work right when connected via USB cable. All attempts at a wireless connection were detected as a Nintendo Switch and changing the "mode" did nothing to help.I mention all this to say that the SMX ESM-9110 (this controller) connected perfectly to everything I plugged it in to, the first time. This includes 2 different Linux (Debian 12) machines and my Steam Deck. A real plus on compatibility!As for the controller itself, it's really quite good! It looks great, feels comfortable, is lightweight, and works well. The sticks have a little more "throw" to them over an XBox controller and the stick springs are a little more tight. The sticks are smooth though, even at the extent. The stick buttons have a good feel to them so you know you've pressed them. The ABXY and D-pad buttons are membrane types. This works well for the ABXY buttons but not so much for the D-pad. The D-pad works OK, it just feels a bit "sloppy". All the other buttons on the controller are mechanical types with a short press, much like an XBox controller's D-pad feel. The LED lights are a nice touch. USB charging is good and battery runtime is long.Besides the sloppy D-pad buttons there is one design flaw I have found. The "Back" and "Turbo" buttons are too close to the left stick to access easily. You have to curve your thumb around the left stick in an awkward way to hit either button properly. While this might not be a big deal for the "Turbo" button, this can be a real PIA on games that use the "Back" (the view button on the XBox controller) button a lot.It's a good controller out of the box. If it lasts several years without issues, could be a REALLY good controller! Cheers and good luck!

If you're looking for a cheap controller for regular gaming, this is a great buy. It connected right away and worked without any noticeable lag. The buttons and triggers feel as good as the XBox 360 wired controller I replaced with this, and there's no battery bulge on the bottom, which is a big plus over the wireless 360 controllers.I tried it both on a Windows 10 PC and an Android tablet, and both worked right away with no issues. I set the center button to trigger Steam on my PC, which is great, because I can start my games without needing to get up when I'm connected to my TV. It's one of the few affordable controllers that have a rechargeable battery built in rather than needing to continually switch out AA batteries, which is one of the major reasons I bought it.One very minor inconvenience is that there is no off button on the controller itself. When you turn your computer off and the controller loses connection, it blinks rapidly for about 30 seconds searching for signal. It doesn't really affect my playing or general enjoyment of the controller, but it's a minor feature that would be nice to have.
