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

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.

This controller arrived very quickly, came in very nice packaging and worked as advertised. I actually bought it to use on my PS2 with a converter box that allows PS3 controllers to be used on the PS2 and it worked great in that capacity. My Xbox One controller that I use for PC was becoming unresponsive from wear and tear and I was going to buy a new one but I thought this controller felt so good and knew it doubled as a PC controller as well so I switched it over as my main PC controller and it works and feels great there too. I am now thinking about buying a couple of these for my PS2 and PS3 so I don't have to keep transferring this one back and forth. It is a wonderful controller and you would be hard pressed to find a better one for the price. Most budget controllers just feel off from the official ones and usually lack a certain finesse and grace and tend to feel kind of clunky in your hands. This one feels just like an official Xbox 360 controller but with light rubber grip pads for the palms of your hands and is a little lighter but not in a cheap way. The only "weak" spot on the controller, if you want to call it that, is that the shoulder buttons and back triggers don't feel quite as good as the official ones. They still feel good and work and everything, they are just a little clickier than an official one and the triggers have just a little less resistance than an official one when you push them down. I am overall very impressed with how professional this controller looks and feels when considering that it costs half the price you would pay if you bought an official wired controller or one from big name 3rd party companies like Power A or PDP. And for anyone who really prefers the Xbox controller set up over the Playstation set up, but still want to play some of the PS3 exsclusive games or play PS1 games using the PS3 backwards compatability, this is the closest to the real deal I have seen available for the PS3.

Good controller. Got this to play on my PS3 I took out of storage. Works well.sticks and buttons are responsive.The only problem I have with this is the cord length. As TVs are larger now the short cord makes it feel like you're right up on the screen. A 10' cord would be much better but they probably won't change anything.Still, it works great and is at a good price.

This is an excellent controller, however, the circle buttons are loud...like mechanical keyboard clack clack loud. It's a no for me, but still 5 stars because it plugged in and worked immediately on my PC games.
