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

Before getting into the review, let me just say that I have bought easily more than 100 various USB controllers over the last 3 years. I buy them to be used with setups I sell to friends and acquaintances. The version of USB controller I have purchased the most has been XBOX wired controllers like this one. I have purchased variations of the same setup from multiple different sellers with prices ranging from $13 to $20.With that said, this one is by far the best one I've ever purchased. Since there are no CONS to this controller, let me go into the PROS given my experiences handling a good 50 other XBOX wired controllers I've purchased.- THE BUTTONS: They are properly seated and solid. By that I mean when you shake the controller, there is no chattering that you would hear. Other ones on Amazon for around the same price sound like a box of Tic Tacs when shaken due to the individual buttons being a short distance away from the rubber stops on the circuit boards. This issue with other controllers leads to failed presses of the buttons and also makes the controller overall loud to use.- THE CASING RIGIDITY: The controller casing feels more sound than others I've experienced. There is no give when trying to squeeze or twist the casing body in your hands. The plastic of the casing is either thicker or more supported within, or is made from a better quality plastic blend than competitors.- THE CASING FLUSH: The two-piece casing is entirely flush whereas I've had other controllers where the screw holes didn't match up properly or the cast was slightly off. This caused the casing body to be slightly off making some sharp casting ends of the controllers stick out ever so slightly as to annoy you when playing. They also had a tendency to creek because of this. Not with this one. It's solid!- RUBBER GRIPS: I don't think the maker even needed to have these, but it's definitely a plus. They aren't just for looks as they are very functional over conventional XBOX controllers that tend to slip in your hand when your palms get a little sweaty.- ANALOG SENSITIVITY: The analog buttons on this controller had a nice gradient of intensity especially in FPS and driving games. Others I've had have been as bad as having three settings of sensitivity being 0%, 10%, and 100%. It was a major pain in the backside trying to stabilize aiming in an FPS when the difference in speed goes from 10% to 100% with just a millimeter of movement. This controller has no problem with it.- DRIVERS (software): The controller paired with my Windows 10 gaming rig faster than I could realize it. It happened so fast that I actually thought it didn't happen as many others I've owned took a second or two to be recognized. No further setup was required as this really was a Plug-n-Play controller.- PRICE: Like I said (over and over), I have owned dozens upon dozens of these types of USB XBOX controllers. This one is in the same price range as many others that are inferior to it.Overall, this is a solid and precise controller. Gameplay is far less frustrating when you don't have to destroy your thumbs trying to zero in on an opponent or finding yourself distracted by the sound of chattering buttons.

Considering the price, the controller does everything you want and more. The important buttons and analog sticks feel responsive, and it's completely plug and play. The analog stick is a bit uncomfortable due to not having any padding, but functionally it works really well and captures movement well in games (you can purchase some padding separately, but at that point just take a look at an actual X-box controller, because you're coming close in price).The triggers and bumpers in the back feel really good to use, but the triggers have a little bit too much give to them, and can give problems if you're playing a game where you need to rapidly press the triggers. Overall the controller has been very durable so far and still works perfectly half a year after purchase, which was my biggest concern when purchasing. I've dropped the controller a few times, and I game quite often in my free time, so the durability has been impressive.The biggest issue with the controller is definitely the D-pad. It's terribly unresponsive, and sometimes registers the wrong input if you're doing it too quickly (ex: you press left on the D-pad, and it registers as you pressing up on the D-pad). This gave me fits when I was playing games like Dark Souls/Sekiro, which require you to use the D-pad to cycle through items, and one small mistake can mean death. However, thankfully, most other games I play use the D-pad very little, which reduces the severity of this issue.Overall, I think that this is as good as a budget X-box controller gets. I would not blame you at all for choosing to go with it over a legit X-box controller, because I don't think the higher price tag on the X-box justifies how much better it is.

This controller is great! It is much like an Xbox controller and has wide compatibility for many games. The joysticks are not as resistant as Xbox controllers but still have a good balance of sensitivity. The back bumpers are clicky but work well. The triggers are also really well made and have a good range of resistance and sensitivity. The D-pad is one of my favorites and has a really satisfying feel. A B X Y buttons are good quality and are very much like Xbox ones. The turbo button is actually useful for games and I find myself using it more than I expected I would. The cord is a great length and the controller has no input lag as I have noticed as of yet. The multiple controllers option is smart and intuitive. The instructions are very informative and tell you how exactly everything should work. The packaging is very protective and overall this is a 5/5 product. EDIT: it stopped working within a year. Not worth the money. Just buy an Xbox One wireless controller on cuber Monday.

I was skeptical after purchasing three other controllers from Best Buy, Game Stop and Wallmart, ALL of them I had to return for not working with my Windows 8.1.This one had the feel of an Xbox controller with the overall weight, and the joystick resistance. The buttons weren't rattling either. The moment I plugged it in the blue light came on. I opened the screen on my PC game to customize the buttons like I had to do with the others... And to my surprise, it was already set-up and ready to go!!!!Started playing immediately, no hassle, no updates, no waiting! Works perfect on my other Windows 10 laptop as well! I can't believe the quality for the price. The other controllers were $38-$70... And this beats all of those hands down.

Seems to be working fine, As far as functionality goes the only real issue is that if you left go of the analog stick it will input the opposite direction when it springs back to neutral which isnt THAT big of a deal... My only real complaint is that the turbo button is pretty much useless as it will not work for the triggers or the d-pad which is very disappointing. If i had know that i would have gotten a different controller. If that does not bother you, Its a solid controller for the price
