Makes a great Polymega controller!
For those of you who purchased the Polymega retro gaming console, you know that it is a fun device that allows you to upload your favorite classic games (NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, Playstation, etc.) and play them via emulation using your original game discs/cartridges.With that said, I have always felt that the universal controller that was offered for the Polymega has issues with input lag (especially with using the 2.4ghz dongle instead of wired). As a gamer, this can be extremely frustrating when the buttons pressed do not respond as they should when compared with the respective original hardware controllers. To top it off, the Polymega is limited on which 3rd party controllers are compatible with the device (it requires X-Input). I have tried various 3rd party controllers which did not work for me. The only one that seemed to work okay was the 8bitdo Pro 2 controller. However, I personally do not care for the Playstation-style design and prefer the modern Xbox controller.Fortunately, I tried this controller and was pleasantly surprised to find that it works perfectly with the Polymega console. I first used the provided 2.4ghz dongle for wireless play and I noticed that the input lag was much improved over the universal Polymega controller (even the newer WC02 model). To be fair, I tried using the EasySMX X05 Pro Wireless Controller in wired mode and noticed that there was no input lag to speak of (or least none that I could tell). When you plug in the controller to your Polymega (via the 2.4ghz dongle or wired) it will be recognized as a universal Polymega controller (make sure to have the switch on the back of the controller set to 2.4ghz).As for the controller itself, it is very well constructed (for the price) and feels natural to hold. The buttons all respond well and I was happy with the D-Pad operation (in which the D-Pad is used heavily in most of the emulated game consoles that Polymega offers at this point in time).I also played around with the controller briefly on my Windows 11 PC. I used the dongle and there were no issues and it worked well.I highly recommend this controller, not just for the Polymega, but for gaming in general, especially if you are looking for a less expensive solution than an official Xbox controller.

Great controller at a very good price
This is a great controller. My last controller was a Nimbus+ (for IOS) and it took forever to attach to my iPad with Bluetooth, it was laggy and had a lightning connector. This controller is extremely accurate, attaches to my iPad almost immediately when I turn it on and has a USB-C charging port.I didn’t even realize how laggy my old controller was until I replaced it with this and suddenly I’m a LOT better at games than I was. Response has no lag.And the price is right. It’s about half the cost of the Nimbus so I wasn’t expecting much but it’s twice the controller that the Nimbus was. Highly recommended.

You get what you pay for.
Nice controller other than the occasional drifting. It usually corrects if I pause the game and then continue playing!

Great controller if you don’t mind frequent charging
So far, so good. Of course, I cannot confirm if this is truly a Hall Effect controller, as I am not going to open it and dissect it to check. But so far the analog sticks work great. The RGB lighting is a nice touch, and I appreciate the extra buttons and modes. I like that it charges/connects with USB, and I like that in addition to wired connectivity, it can also connect via Bluetooth or the USB stick included with it. My primary gripe is battery life. With my old Xbox One controller, I was able to go over a week between charges, but this controller seems to need recharging every couple of days. I do find that disabling the RGB lighting increases the play time between charges, but only by a day or so. It still doesn’t rival the play time I got from my Xbox One controller, and I really wish the manufacturer didn’t skimp on the battery, but I’m hoping the durability and longevity of the Hall Effect analog sticks make up for what the product lacks in battery life.

Held back on using this until the Switch 2 arrived, as I was desperately hoping this would be compatible. Thankfully, it is – and it was way easier to pair than I imagined it would be.The pad comes with a dongle, but it isn’t needed on the Switch 2. Simply connect the pad to the to the Switch 2 with the charge cable, then disconnect. Job done. It is now recognised by the Switch 2 as a pro controller.From there, it has just been an incredibly enjoyable experience. I’ve only had the chance to use it on Mario Kart World and Zelda: TOTK but it already feels miles better than the original Switch Pro Controller. The sticks are responsive and feel great (I’ve added some caps just to give them an extra few mm of height and a little more texture), the ABXY buttons are basic looking but work well (no unregistered button presses so far), and the trigger/shoulder buttons work fine, if feeling a little bit lifeless.There is an offer on the X05 (search Amazon – its not on this listing anymore) where the grey version can be obtained at the time of review (07/06/2025) for £19.97 with a further 22% off, making it £15.57. I don’t believe you will get a controller this good for cheaper.The price is so good, I’m going to get 3 so that everyone can play MKW at the same time. Outstanding value for an outstanding controller.

Très bonne manette a un prix raisonnable

J’utilise la manette EasySMX X10 comme manette principale sur mon PC depuis un an.Elle offre un excellent rapport qualité-prix.La prise en main est bonne, les joysticks sont précis grâce à la technologie Hall Effect, et les boutons mécaniques répondent bien.La connectivité est fiable, que ce soit en Bluetooth, en 2.4 GHz ou en filaire.J’apprécie aussi les boutons arrière programmables et les coques magnétiques interchangeables, qui apportent un vrai plus.Par contre, il n’y a pas de logiciel de personnalisation complet, seulement une application Android, ce qui me fait enlever une étoile.Pour son prix, c’est une manette très complète qui tient bien dans le temps.Je la recommande si vous cherchez une manette polyvalente et performante sans trop dépenser.
