About this deal

The controller’s width may be an issue for some. By comparision, the eSwap S Pro and Xbox Series X|S wireless controller are both about 6.3 inches wide at the bottom of the gamepad, but the eSwap S Pro is wider at the top, coming in at 5.1 inches versus 4.5 inches for the standard Xbox Series X|S controller. The controller's vibration is the only area that raised my eyebrow. Basically, it can be quite wildly varied, and in some instances, is a weird 'high-frequency' vibration rather than a rumble. In Ryse, my unit's spear throws were welcomed by this wildly high-pitched vibration, and in racing games like Forza Horizon 4, the rumble can flit around a bit. Sometimes you'll get the traditional vibration you'd associate with driving and crashing, and at others, you'll get that real high-frequency rumble again, which can be surprising but also quite jarring. Now, you can modify and adjust this in the software on PC so all is not lost, but not quite to the degree of genuinely evening it all out. All in, this is no great caveat or something to stop me from recommending it, but rather a nuance and characteristic of the controller worthy of note. Gamers should note the Thrustmaster eSwap S Pro is a wired-only controller. That might come as a surprise, given its price, but it’s not unusual for high-end gamepads that target competitive players. In my opinion, I would try and stretch the budget and opt for the eSwap x Pro instead of the S Pro if I were looking at this range of pads. However, if you are looking for a good quality controller with some unique features and the ability to some small modular changes then this controller can be a good option and won't cost you as much as the X.

I used the eSwap S Pro controller in place of my regular controller at home. I mainly tested the pad on PC, and a colleague tried it on Xbox Series X. I used it for shorter gaming sessions and longer, more intense sessions to ensure that I was able to collect a wide range of information regarding the controller, how it felt, and if I enjoyed using it. This is a wired controller due to Thrustmaster's preference for near-zero latency for inputs, and as a result, also circumvents Microsoft's own proprietary wireless systems. Of course, while everyone wants to cut the cords on everything these days, I can't really call it a proper 'negative' as this is certainly robust in its wired connection, has a long cable, and this does mean you'll get that excellent near-zero latency for inputs too. Dominate in fights and master all your diagonal movements, thanks to a D-pad with 4 tact switches for fantastic responsiveness. Link up all of your combos incredibly easily — thanks to an activation distance of just 0.02 inches / 0.45 mm.

Fantastisch voor alle gebruikers: het ergonomisch ontwerp en de textuur van de controller zijn verbeterd voor een prettige, comfortabele en uitstekende grip

When first held, the unique feeling will immediately be apparent. It’s very wide, for better or worse Slightly away from the more functional features, there are some aesthetic ones here too - which are also interchangeable. Although the swappable elements are only blue or green camo at the moment, hopefully that range will expand. My unit came with the green camo design and extra modules, and you're damn right I put the camo on straight away so I could be A Real Gamer. Said cable is 3 metres in length and of a premium braided design, so this should really suffice most setups - and even if this is for PC use, the cable folds on itself neatly too. I'd probably prefer the cable to use a USB-C connector for the controller, but the micro-USB connector, but still. Thrustmaster eSwap X Pro - Features Aanpassen van geluidsweergave: aan de knoppen achterop kan de volumeregeling worden toegekend; het dempen van de microfoon en de volumeregeling kunnen worden toegekend met behulp van de ThrustmapperX-softwareSnel reagerende knoppen: de mechanische knoppen zijn 64% sneller dan standaard membraanknoppen, hebben een levensduur van meer dan 5 miljoen activeringen en een activeringsafstand die is verkleind tot 0,3 mm Een verwaarloosbaar kleine vertraging: een USB-aansluiting (type C) met gevlochten kabel en zeer hoge weerstand voor een zo klein mogelijke vertraging en snelle, stabiele gegevensoverdracht Your gaming style: the 2 additional rear buttons can be remapped (or disabled) directly on the gamepad, or via the ThrustmapperX software Verbeter uw ruimtegebruik: een nieuwe ergonomische mechanische D-pad biedt nog meer nauwkeurigheid, comfort en controle The proof is in the testing and the using, and to cut the chase, the controller is a dream. It's a joy to use and each of its parts and features really excel, and combine to make something that's genuinely a premium product for those who crave flexibility and versatility. It's also something that's genuinely revolutionary for me personally.

Elsewhere, the face buttons are better in actuation and feel than standard controllers, I'd say - not quite as satisfying as the Razer Raiju Ultimate's pressing action, but certainly more so than the regular Xbox controller.
