   Ho preso questo controller per giocare con third person shooter/malee e mi trovo benissimo. Non sono un giocatore di altissimo livello, quindi se cercate l’altissima precisione, perché siete dei semiprofessionisti, questa recensione non è significativa per voi.Per quanto concerne l’uso medio che ne faccio, la mia opinione è la seguente:Il lag introdotto dall’essere wireless non è percepibile.La gradualità e sensibilità dei comandi analogici è ottima.Inoltre l’estetica mi piace da morire.Non è servita alcuna azione particolare su windows 11 per farlo funzionare è bastato inserire la ricetrasmittente nella porta USB.In coppia con un altro controller dello stesso modello non ha problemi di interferenzeConsigliato

   PROS* Hall effect joysticks means no more stick drift!* Competitively priced at $59.99 less $6 instant coupon at time of writing* Very similar feel to an Xbox controller, but lighter* Pairs wirelessly to Switch and automatically reverses A and B to match Switch button layout!* Pairs wirelessly to PC via included USB dongle (2.4 Ghz) or via Bluetooth* Perfectly emulates Xbox controller when used on PC* Ability to set Switch button layout on PC* Turbo can be activated for rapid continuous button activation* Can program macros (pre-set button combinations that can be activated with a single press of a button)* Can adjust motor vibration settings* Can be paired to your Android or iOS phone via BT and will act like an Xbox controllerCONS* Built in rechargeable battery is non-user replaceable* Extra buttons on the bottom (custom mapping buttons) can accidentally be activated* Need to keep the instruction manual as a different button combination is used to get the controller to pair to different devicesVERDICTI used this controller on both a Switch and a PC and I can honestly say that I am thoroughly impressed.  The biggest thing I was impressed with is the ability for the controller to automatically switch the button layout depending on what you are pairing it to.  If you’ve paired it to your PC, it’ll map the buttons the same as the Xbox and if you decide you want to use it on your Switch, just pair it to the Switch and it’ll flip the A and B buttons to match the Switch layout. This is GENIUS!I’m a big fan of the Xbox controller feel and if imitation is the best form of flattery, these guys hit it out of the park as it mimics the feel of the Xbox controller quite well.  I also don’t mind that it’s lighter than the Xbox controller, but I admittedly do wish the battery used AA’s like the Xbox controller because it’s easy to pop in new batteries if you are gaming and are out of juice.  The EasyMax controller apparently does allow charging while playing at the same time, but I did not test this.  This is not a bad compromise as I’m not sure other controllers can do this.Compared to the 8Bitdo Switch and PC controller, this guy is less expensive AND it has the Hall effect joysticks (and trigger buttons) making it better value, IMO.Lots of RGB and flashy lights which may appease some, but for me, I’m thankful there’s a button on the button that lets you turn that off and on.I’ve got at least one Xbox controller with stick drift and at roughly the same price as an Xbox controller, getting a controller that has hall effect joysticks that pairs to my switch without a USB dongle AND flips the A+B buttons in Switch mode (and switches it back to PC mode when pairing to PC) is definitely the way to go.PAIRING INSTRUCTIONSIn case you lose the manual… all pairing is done with the controller turned OFF.Nintendo SwitchIn the “Change Grip/Order” screen, hold the Power on/off button for 3 secondsPC and iOSHold “X” + “Power On/Off button” for 3 secondsDevice will show up in bluetooth list as “Xbox Controller”AndroidHold “A” + “Power On/Off button” for 3 secondsGamepad should show up in list of bluetooth devicesManually swapping A&B buttonsPress “B” + “-” + “+”

   Buscaba mandos Bluetooth que fueran compatibles con Steam sobre Windows 11 para poder jugar juegos de peleas.No tuve ningún problema para que Windows 11 reconociera dos de estos controles conectados vía Bluetooth al mismo tiempo y pude jugar MK11 en Steam, uno contra uno en partida local, sin ningún problema.

   This is the second game controller I’ve ordered from EasySMX, and it may be my favourite. The X15 offers many of the features gamers are looking for, provided you aren’t looking for Xbox console compatibility—though it operates exactly as one on PC only. The X15 is also compatible with Switch, iOS, and Android devices.I like the design choices for the X15, from its artic camo print to the RGB lighting effects around the joystick bases, D-Pad, and the outer edges of the controller. The RGB lighting can be turned off via a dedicated switch underneath the controller. There are several pre-programmed colour modes and the LEDs are very bright, and vibrant, and the brightness levels can be adjusted as well.The Hall Effect Joysticks and Triggers have a good feel in hand and should provide a drift-free experience. Another nice feature is the two programmable buttons on the rear of the controller. These features alone place it ahead of many game controllers and at a price premium to the X15. The plastics in the build of the controller feel durable and it has some weight to it. If there was one upgrade request, it would be the addition of actual rubber grips versus the laser-etched fine carving featured here. The ABXY buttons are etched as well and I will say they felt more tactile and appreciated this feature over the usual smooth buttons. The D-Pad is excellent on the X15 and almost silent in use, which was unexpected. The dedicated option and menu buttons are located just like on an OEM Xbox controller so thankfully no user adjustments are required.With tri-mode connectivity, you can connect the X15 via the 2.4Ghz dongle, Bluetooth or the included USB-C to USB-A cable. If you choose wireless, the X15 is equipped with a 1000mAh battery and I never found myself in a position where my gaming sessions were interrupted, so I appreciate the well spec’d battery size.While no software is required to use the X15, EasySMX does offer firmware updates via their Discord. The controller I received already had the latest firmware and apparently, it addresses a wired disconnection issue for some PC users. I had no such issue during my testing, given I had the latest firmware.If you are looking for a great PC controller with those sought-after gaming upgrades, like the Hall Effect drift-free joysticks and programable buttons – I’d highly recommend the X15 based on my PC gaming experience with it. The build quality and overall feature set are excellent and at a commendable price savings versus many OEM game controller options.

   Holy input lag! Maybe OK for casual gaming, not much else
   The feel of this controller is very nice, it seems quite well built. The dongle worked instantly, as expected. Bluetooth pairing didn’t work, but that’s likely more of a Windows issue than this controller (I almost never get BT devices to pair correctly on Windows). Tried playing Rocker League with this and the input lag on the stick is just unreal, I’ve never used a controller that was so unresponsive. I have an older, cheaper EasySMX controller that works just fine, but the X15 is a no-go for me. If you’re playing games that don’t need any kind of fast input, it might be fine acceptable, but I had to return it.

   Problems
   The controllers are nice looking, comfortable, and are very easy to connect to the PC regardless of which of the three connection options you use, but those are the only nice things I can say.I purchased one, and it worked for several hours, then my game would randomly register movements. I checked the calibration, and the controller just would not stay at origin at all, no matter what I did. So I ordered a replacement one, thinking the first was just a dud. This time, it worked for a couple of hours, then the controller stopped responding most of the time, and when it does respond there’s tons of lag or it registers a different button than what was pressed, regardless of whether I’m using a bluetooth connection, usb connection, or wired connection.I can’t use the controller if it’s randomly acting up; if my character or camera is randomly moving, buttons aren’t registering at all, or the controller is sending random orders (e.g. I press no buttons but it sends a signal that I’m pushing a button) to the PC. Sorry, but it’s a hard pass for me when I had two different controllers both have problems within a few hours.

   Impressive for the price
   Bought this to replace yet another failed MS controller with stick drift issues. Quite honestly pleased with the functionality and the battery life with this. As others have noted and I agree, the buttons on the back are placed in a way that I somewhat frequently accidentally squeeze them. I don’t have that issue with my XBOX Elite, as an example. I would appreciate a mode where they are disabled since I cannot use them for anything special. In all else, the controller has so far proven to be great and is my new “travel bag” controller.

    Versatile, cool lookin, and fairly comfortable for the price.
    With the USB connector the controller works flawlessly. But without, its a bit slow on the input. Haven’t tried it wired yet, but id assume it works just as well. The colors and choices are cool and pretty, but the instructions for changing them and setting up the controller can be a bit confusing.Overall, its not a bad little controller for the price. Iv gotten much worse for higher price.

    Great value for the money
    The EasySMX X15 PC Controller boasts an attractive price tag, making it a tempting option for budget-minded gamers seeking a wired controller for their PC. While it offers a decent level of functionality, it’s important to understand that it comes with certain compromises.**Pros:*** **Affordable:** The X15 is a budget-friendly option, making it accessible to a wider range of gamers.* **Wired Connection:** A wired connection ensures lag-free gameplay, crucial for competitive titles.* **Comfortable Design:** The controller’s ergonomic design provides a comfortable grip for extended gaming sessions.* **Dual Vibration Motors:** The X15 features vibration feedback, enhancing the immersion of the gaming experience.* **Customizable Buttons:** The controller allows for remapping of buttons, catering to individual preferences.**Cons:*** **Basic Build Quality:** The X15 feels somewhat cheap in terms of materials and construction, lacking the premium quality found in higher-end controllers.* **Limited Features:** Compared to more expensive controllers, the X15 lacks features like adjustable triggers or a dedicated headphone jack.* **Subpar Analog Sticks:** The analog sticks might feel a bit loose and imprecise, potentially hindering precision in games demanding fine control.**Who should buy it?**The EasySMX X15 PC Controller is best suited for casual gamers who prioritize affordability and are not seeking a professional-grade controller. It’s a decent option for basic gaming, but might not be ideal for competitive play or games requiring precise controls.**Who should avoid it?**Serious gamers looking for a high-performance controller with advanced features should consider spending more on a premium option.
