EasySMX 【New】 Wireless PC Controller, Arion8236 Gaming Controller for Windows Steam/PS3/Android/Switch/Steam Deck, Dual-Vibration Computer Controller Gamepad with Turbo, 14 Hours Working Battery

Be aware...Despite this being modeled after an Xbox controller it only works on PC. It does not work on xbox or other consoles. The controller feels very lightweight and a bit flimsy in my hand. The buttons dont feel like they would be responsive, but they are. It does work well with most games on PC. The color and design are cool too, which is what drew my attention to it.

So far Ive used this controller exclusively for Rocket League. Ive let students use it in our Esports lab on multiple computers and havent had any issues with it not being recognized on Windows 10 or Windows 11. The controller feels comfortable to hold. I love the design - very 90s. The surface texture is smooth and clean, and the sides have little rubber grips on them. All of the buttons feel pretty normal, and Ive seen no real difference to me between the joysticks or buttons on this controller vs the XBox 360 controller. Ive only charged it once and weve used it for multiple 2 hour sessions of Rocket League and its still going strong. If you need a controller to play your PC games with thats durable, easy to connect, and basically just like an XBox controller, this is the one you want. I liked this one so much that Ive purchased another EasySMX plain white controller for our Esports lab as well.

This is my second EasySMX controller, and it appears to be another winner like the Switch Pro version I purchased recently. It connects to my PC quickly and easily with the included USB receiver and is recognized by Steam as an Xbox One controller by default, but, if needed, I can change the input to either a USB gamepad or generic gamepad. I really like the build quality of this controller. It looks durable with premium feeling plastics and the buttons, joysticks, and triggers respond very much the same as the genuine Xbox One controller. I haven’t used it enough to comment on the battery life, but a gaming session for me is typically no longer than an hour or hour-and-a -half tops, so it’s always going to be plenty for me.

Works great and works with steam and other gamepad controlled games.

I have purchased many controllers. I love this controller. Its comfortable to hold The battery life is plenty for my playing time. I probably play an hour or more daily and i charge my controller over night once every couple days. So far it hasnt died on me. Right before I purchasing this controller I bought one for around $100.00 I was constantly accidentally pushing a button that would unknowingly to me put it in programming mode while I was in game play and then the buttons/triggers wouldnt work the way they were supposed to. So I would look up how to reset it back to default. Well after doing that way to many times I bought this controller. So happy that I did. No regrets Happy Gaming Be Kind

The controller stopped working after two weeks. I can’t even return bc I threw away the box. It had a small amount of lag when I first got it. Slowly it started developing a issue with one of the trigger on the bottom. Sometimes it gets stuck or something it doesn’t even work. I’ve never dropped it and I maybe put 16 hours on it. Stay away from it.

This works great for gaming on our PC. We got this specifically to fly in games that had FPS as well as vehicles. This allows you to transition from the keyboard mouse to the game pad with just a simple click of one of the buttons on the keypad.

The overall frame and shape are fine, and the buttons respond nicely. However, the thumbsticks suffer from janky and hyper-sensitive input readings, such as struggling to read any inputs between 45 degrees, and clocking a 100% input when Im only tilting halfway. This is an awful controller to use in FPS or other games where camera control is important.

No complaints from my kids.

So-far this controller works great. Its plug & play on Fedora 37 so I would assume its the same on other Linux distros too. So if you plan on gaming with Linux, I would really recommend this one for sure!
