I'm running Windows 10, and the controller was detected and installed as an XBox 360 controller, and Steam games recognize it as such. I didn't need to install anything, and everything works flawlessly.
It was plug-and-play when I bought it for my son.
It’s more than an Xbox wired’s’s’s’s’s’s’s?% I discovered that SAO Gungale was unable to use it due to a lack of finesse at high DPI moments. This is not a game I would recommend for a first-person shooter or a racing game. However, it is adequate for MMO and console gaming.
It depends on the emulator in the case of emulated games. A controller can be configured in the majority of them. Simply use the included drivers for regular games, and it will work flawlessly on Windows.
Selected User Reviews For EasySMX Wired Gaming Controller, PC Game Controller Joystick with Dual-Vibration Turbo and Trigger Buttons for Windows/Android/ PS3/ TV Box
I purchase them for use in setups that I sell to friends and acquaintances. XBOX wired controllers, such as this one, are the most common type of USB controller I've purchased. I've bought different versions of the same setup from a variety of sellers for anywhere between $13 and $20. br>br>Having said that, this is by far the best one I've ever bought. Given my experience with more than 50 other XBOX wired controllers I've purchased, I'll start with the PROS.
- BUTTONS INCLUDED: They're firmly in place. That is to say, there is no chattering to be heard when you shake the controller. Because the individual buttons are a short distance away from the rubber stops on the circuit boards, other ones on Amazon for around the same price sound like a box of Tic Tacs when you shake them. With other controllers, this issue causes button presses to fail, as well as making the controller too loud to use.
- THE RIGIDITY OF THE CASING: The controller casing is louder than other controller casings I've used. When squeezing or twisting the casing body in your hands, there isn't any give. The casing's plastic is either thicker or more well-supported inside, or it's made of a higher-quality plastic blend than its competitors.
- THE FLUSH OF THE CASING: The two- The piece casing is completely flush, whereas on previous controllers, the screw holes didn't line up properly or the cast was slightly off. The casing body was slightly off as a result, and some sharp casting ends of the controllers protruded just enough to annoy you while playing. As a result of this, they had a proclivity to creek. This isn't the case. It holds up!
- GRIPS MADE OF RUBBER: I'm not sure the maker needed these, but they're a nice touch. They're not just for show; they're also a lot more functional than traditional XBOX controllers, which tend to slip out of your hands when your palms get sweaty.
- SENSITIVITY TO THE ANALOG WORLD: This controller's analog buttons had a nice gradient of intensity, which was especially useful in FPS and driving games. Others I've had have been as wrong as having three sensitivity settings 0%, 10%, and 100%. Trying to stabilize aiming in an FPS when the difference in speed goes from 10% to 100% with just a millimeter of movement was a major pain on the backside. It's not an issue for this controller.
- DRIVERS (computer software): The controller connected to my Windows 10 gaming PC much faster than I expected. It happened so quickly that I initially mistook it for something else because many of the others I've owned took a second or two to recognize. There was no need for any additional setup because this was truly a Plug-and-Play device. Control the game with the controller.
- PRICE: I've owned dozens upon dozens of these USB XBOX controllers, as I've stated time and time again. This one is in the same price range as a lot of others that aren't nearly as good. Overall, this is a reliable and precise controller. br>br> When you don't have to destroy your thumbs trying to zero in on an opponent or get distracted by the sound of chattering buttons, game play is far less frustrating.
In my Model 3, it performs admirably. The cord also reaches the back seats, so no more kids fighting for front-seat seats!.
The EasySMX wired gamepad screams Xbox 360 alternative controller, with some things to like and some things to dislike. In the hands, it feels about the same weight and orientation as the actual Microsoft 360 wired controller, with the buttons having a more clicky feel vs the comfortable stable soft depression feel of the actual Microsoft 360 wired controller (full disclosure, I'm not sure if I like this better or not). br>br>I particularly like the rubber grips on both the left and right sides. When your hands begin to sweat, I believe the EasySMX gamepad is far more comfortable to hold. While the side grips are a nice touch, the analog joysticks aren't particularly impressive; I don't like how they feel or how slippery they are under my thumbs. It would be nice to have some better grips (which can be purchased for a reasonable price). br>br>The problem with buying grips is that by the time you've done so, you'll have spent more money than if you'd just bought a 360 controller, but keep reading. br>While it closely resembles the 360 controller in terms of feel and appearance (for the most part), it is not compatible with the Xbox 360. It does, however, work with PS3. . . so if you have a PS3 and want to feel like you're playing on Xbox, this is for you! br>br>I'm a PC gamer who enjoys having a variety of gamepads for my PCs, so the aging PS3 compatibility is irrelevant to me. However, if you're buying it for the (also aging) Xbox 360, you'll be a sad panda because it won't work on your 360. Weight and construction: br>br> It's just a few grams lighter than the Xbox 360 controller, making it feel pretty well-designed. . . I bring this up because I've had my fair share of cheaper $8-$10 controllers. Gamepads in the $10 range that felt. . . well, cheap. . . because that's exactly what they were. I find myself using it quite happily because the durability is excellent and the quality is comparable to that of the actual 360 controller. br>br>I should point out that the Amazon listing shows two different weights. One option is to include a USB cable. 220G (approximately a 7) 7 ounces and 8 ounces, respectively. 8 oz (250 g) To be clear, I didn't weigh it either way to confirm; instead, I simply tested it in the real world while holding the 360 controller in one hand and the EasySMX controller in the other. br>br>Installation is straightforward (at least from the standpoint of a PC). I just plugged it in and went. Everything went off without a hitch and in the way that it was supposed to. br>A turbo button is available, but I have never used one. If that's a selling point for you, then there you have it. br>br>It reminds me of the Xbox 360 controller, which I really enjoy. For me, it's important to be able to withstand the passage of time. I've had controllers in the past that were poorly made and constructed (especially the analog sticks), and I can't say the EasySMX gamepad makes me feel that way. My only suggestion is that the price be reduced to around $15, or that the grips be improved. This, I believe, will make it a more competitive alternative to the officially licensed Xbox 360 wired controller, especially since 360 compatibility isn't guaranteed. existent. br>br>The ZD T Wired, which costs nearly the same as the EasySMX, is the most popular alternative. Nothing more than food for thought here.
I was looking for a low-cost controller to use with my computer games. I don't play often, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to use the keyboard controls. The word "cheap" comes to mind here. It wasn't a particularly significant purchase, and it was certainly not a "need. " The price of the EasySMX game controller was under $20. I was impressed from the moment I opened the amazon box because the xbox ones were only $50, so it didn't seem like a big risk, and besides, I figured anything I got had to be better than using the dumb keyboard. The controller comes in a very nice package that felt and looked like it was made with a lot of thought. I immediately began using it after taking it out of the box. There was no learning curve because the controller functioned identically to my Xbox controller, with the same controls. In my hands, it feels great, and the joysticks and buttons are responsive as well. This is an excellent purchase for those who do not want to spend a lot of money. My expectations were far exceeded. Unless you are a professional gamer or plan to save the world with this controller, I would 100% recommend this controller!.
