Thanks for the great review, Mike! Looks like a really sensible solution for those wanting a compatible gamepad at a reasonable price. I do have to agree, that dongle is MASSIVE.
@@mikesunboxing Bought 2 of these. One started having connection issues in less than 8 months with very light use and now will not connect at all. The second one still works, but it's barely been touched. I think leaving the dongle plugged in when not in use may be an issue with these. I will not be buying any more of these as there are a number of people with similar issues to what I experienced on Amazon review of the product. Sad too, as when it worked, it was worked find, but nothing more frustrating than have intermittent loss of controller connection while trying to finish Halo Reach. Both controllers work with the remaining dongle (one at at time) so I strongly suggest unplugging the dongle when not in use. I'm guessing the constant searching for a game pad burns it up if left plugged in.
Great review Mike. I've got the newest model "EasySMX 9013 Pro" and it's set up with all 4 LED's lit but why does it open the homepage on my browser when I press the "Home" button?
Hey Mike! just thought i'd let you know my Easy SMX wired controller arrived today, and i'm really happy with it its great! I cant believe how smart it is for less than £20 with your discount code, if the wireless one is as good as the wired, users shouldn't have any complaints, i certainly haven't got any, Thank again for bringing it to my attention.
I actually have one. For the price easysmx really ends my search for reliable controller. For short: good, reliable enough, have issues tho. Now I'm using its upgraded version from easysmx and it's excellent
@@kakikencing8390 tbh i do like 9013 more on the hand feel, weight and size (I have short finger). The downside is on the material/built quality. The thumbstic rubber tear apart, the rubber on the side too. And the battery compartment sometimes loosen you need to pick the sensor thingy. The trigger distance on 9110 indeed shorter but its fine since im not playing trigger sensitive game (like racing etc) but it is still good. Im mostly playing action game like monster hunter where input speed on the the trigger more important
As a person who has a wide selection of controller being PS4, PS5, Xbox360, Xbox One, SteelSeries Stratus XL, Gamesir T3; I must say this is the best one I have purchased for PC gaming. And the price because is cheaper then buying the console one but the main reason why I consider this the best is for it's accuracy using the Dpad. Everything thing about this controller works good other then the fact that you can't shut it off. But I have a usb hub that has off switches for its ports so when I switch it to off, the controller shuts off in 40 seconds. I appreciate a good dpad for like mortal kombat or fighting games, since I don't have an arcade stick. This controller is accurate, works for several consoles including computers and has turbo buttons which is pretty awesome. I would buy another one before they get discontinued and probably put all my other controllers in the attic.
After almost 2 years, are you still using this controller? How is it holding up? Any issues started to crop up? i.e. Stick drift If you ever opened it up would really appreciate images of the internals and pcb. 🙏 Looking to get this myself so hoping for the feedback.
Bought this for my daughter over a year ago. awesome controller. mine came with a really small usb dongle. Anyway, my daughter has managed to lose the battery case. is it the same as an XBOX 360 battery case? need to find a replacement. Thanks. Great video!
This is the best gaming controller I have ever used. There's no need to even shut it off. It auto shuts off within 4-5 minutes if it's not being used. But I like how it's comfortable and It's so accurate for retro gaming using the dpad. I actually plan to purchase 2 more of these before they get discontinued which I know they will because that always happens with stuff. Especially things that are under rated or not noticed. Its a cheap pad but I find it better then all the newer console controllers. It just seems to perform better in terms of how the inputs are delivered to your gaming device. And they made it for like every modern console. It's a quality controller even though it's cheaper. I have a bunch of modern gamepads because I wanted to see which one would give me the best experience and This one and the PS4 controller took the lead; still leaving this one at 1st place.
That dongle might be large but its not as big as the official Microsoft one so. Dedicated on off button should have been a must, that's odd it doesn't have it. Seems like a decent controller though side note, the battery pack looks allot like the official 360 power pack so im wondering if the rechargeable packs would work with it, can get unofficial ones quite cheap to
The recharge packs power the controller through a 4 contact pad in the center of the battery bay of the controller. This controller appears not to have this feature due to the missing plug and charge port on the top of the controller. But I could be wrong.
yes a nice controller overall to be honest. i was not expecting much for the price, but seems solid and i have dropped it a few times with no obvious damage, so time will tell.
Can you use rechargeable battery packs with this? Using batteries is so weird to me, would rather just plug it in when not using to let it charge and unplug when using.
Had one and after a month and not all that much use the red button started to stick and not respond. Bought a chargeable one after that and that had stickdrift after a week. Kinda sucks. 😢
@@raviynjulien1238 To help others that may read this thread (as I assume you have an answer by now), no. Only one at a time. I have 2 and each requires it's own dongle. For me, one dongle failed after 8 months so I recommend unplugging when not in use. Each controller can use the remaining dongle, but I can only connect one controller at a time.
@@imushavem7504 yup I've gotten lots of these controllers and done various test at our gaming site @ JustPlayLah. These controllers work good if there is only 1 system around, but if you have multiple systems working in the same area, they tend to randomly jump after a prolonged period of inactivity. Not ideal for gaming centres. Also, thanks for sharing on the receivers better not being left plugged in. Will take note and monitor the lifespan. Other than that, these controllers are pretty good for PC gaming!
I need a basic "how to use". This is my first game controller. I can't read the manuel, the print is too small. I even brought out my magnifying glass, and no use. I went online to get the manual but it's all printed on one sheet of paper and maxing the size I still can't read it!
Hi Mike, recently acquired one of these, plan was to use it for COD mobile, but I've been unable to get it to connect to my android phone (Samsung A02s). I cannot find anything online to help,tried downloading an otg app as well as purchasing a USB otg connector to accommodate the (smaller) dongle supplied. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

It’s a waste of money for the sheer fact that if the usb receiver breaks you basically have to buy another adapter from them you can’t simply link via Bluetooth they need to take that name off the description

what batteries should i put in this sir ? is it compatible with the regular xbox batteries? anyways nuce review im a new subscriber
it has its own built in rechargeable battery pack, so you don't need to do anything except charge it up

Hi, Mike!!! Thank you for the unbox video. Could you, please, tell me if it still works today and how are its performance on fight games? Thanx!!
