Details and specs
The EasySMX X05 is a cheap wireless controller with Hall-effect sticks and triggers, which shouldn’t develop stick drift. Reviewers like its very quiet face buttons and its D-pad, which handles fighting-game inputs well. It’s light and comfortable, even in bigger hands, and it has motion controls and rumble.
Battery life is short: one review got about 6 hours per charge, well under the maker’s figure. The back macro buttons get in the way of the bumpers until you get used to them. It has no headphone jack and doesn’t work with Xbox. A newer X05 Pro is also sold, so check which model the listing is.
- Hall-effect sticks and triggers
- Connects by Bluetooth or USB dongle
- Works with PC, Android and Nintendo Switch
- Motion controls and rumble
- Battery up to 12 hours (maker’s figure)
