Thrustmaster ESWAP X 2 PRO Controller (Compatible with XBOX Series X|S and PC)

I’ve been using the Thurstmaster ESWAP X Pro controller on and off for years. The default thumbsticks are good, but they are raised and have little resistance.This thumbstick module has the standard (Xbox X/S, Xbox 360, PS4/5) thumbstick height and a resistance comparable to the Xbox 360 ones.If you were unhappy with your ESWAP and something just didn’t feel right with your thumbsticks, this may fix your issue and make your ESWAP your favorite controller.

This Thrustmaster controller is my first really high-end controller - and I think it is great. I am used to the regular Xbox wireless controllers, however I have gone through so many of them that I ended up getting cheap wired controllers for gaming. This Thrustmaster controller is a high-end wired controller.I use this controller primarily for PC gaming. For console gaming I prefer a wireless controller but, with my PC, I prefer a controller connected via USB - so the USB connection is a plus for me.The controller feels very solid. It has a nice weight (322g/0.71lb) to it and it appears to be well made. The controller t is not huge, but it is on the larger side. I have larger hands and it is very comfortable for me to hold. I like the size of this controller a lot.The side hand grips feel nice and the buttons, thumb sticks, and triggers are all responsive and feel great. The modularity and hot swap replacement capability is unique and nice to have. I don't game competitively and I only use standard controller functions, so I am not concerned about the extra buttons and functionality this controller offers.I have several Xbox-style controllers, none of which I really like because they are cheap. Xbox-style controllers, for whatever reason, frequently break for me (from use, not abuse). I find that cheap wired controllers last just as long as the official core controllers. This Thrustmaster controller is a nice controller and I hope it lasts a long time. The controller isn't cheap, but if it ends up lasting a long time then it's worth it to me.Right now, the Thrustmaster ESWAP X 2 PRO is holding up great and it is my favorite controller.

It truly pains me to write a not great review of this controller because I LOVED the E-Swap S pro controller and was hoping this was going to be a good upgrade. It unfortunately was not a good upgrade. I bought this controller to use it with rocket league primarily on PC and it got stick drift with less than 15 hours playtime on it, not even 15 HOURS! That's insane! I get more time out of a stock xbox controller then that before it gets stick drift.With the negativity above, it's important to note that the buttons on the controller are fantastic. I love the clicky sound they make, similar to a mouse or a mechanical keyboard for example. The buttons on the back take a little getting used to, but once you do, they're nice. All in all it is a good controller. Only put 3 stars due to the abnormally fast stick drift that came up.I understand thrustmaster wants people to buy these to then purchase new analog sticks instead, but getting stick drift that quick is just not okay. I'll be going back to my E-Swap S in the meantime and buying sticks for that one until the controller fully quits on me.Who know's, maybe it lasts longer if you use it for a different game. I don't wanna say it's a bad controller because it's not. It's a nice controller, comfy in the hands for the most part. I'm just frustrated with how fast it got stick drift.

I had high hopes for this hall sensor joystick, but it does not have consistent input. If you expect it to be able to play and have your inputs work, look elsewhere. I get constant disconnection of input mid-game, for example, holding the stick in one direction to, say, hold a line while racing around a corner. I regularly have the stick fail while I am mid-corner of a turn, and the car will suddenly dart off like the stick is no longer providing input, meaning the input is either cutting out or disconnecting itself, holding the stick to say, the left all of a sudden the car will start going straight instead of holding the line by holding the stick down. No, I am not talking about understeer. I am talking about you holding the stick in whatever direction. It goes in that direction, then suddenly stops reading that I am holding it to whatever direction and centers itself like I am not "steering" while the stick is at full lock in whatever direction; I tend to notice it more when holding it to the right but the left does it as well, albeit less often than the right.The wheel modules were a joke and barely lasted a week, so I was hopeful these Hall effect sticks would be the saving grace of wasting $180 on the Forza version of this controller. After spending nearly twice as much on replacement wheel modules in the first 6 months of ownership, I shelved it. Seeing they were releasing a Hall effect stick, I was hopeful this would help save money on drifting modules to be duped again by Thrustmaster; the name applies to their outlook on their customers, thrusting all the way to the bank after ripping them off. Don't buy these products. The company does not produce quality hardware, likely on purpose to keep the modules as consumables and generate revenue after they get the customer for a severely overpriced controller. I'll stick to my Gamesir; it is the price of a module, and it never lets me down. If it does, it can be replaced at the price of a TM module.
