Thrustmaster ESWAP X Pro Controller for Xbox Series X|S / Xbox One / Windows

Product Information

The ESWAP X PRO CONTROLLER is the ultimate weapon for gamers in search of an optimized experience for each type of game. However, as noted earlier it’s not necessarily the very best design for fighters like Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection or Mortal Kombat 11. Rolling your thumb across the heavily contoured surface just isn’t that comfortable. A. Select the profile to be modified, then press the MAP button. The profile selection LED flashes. It’s not necessarily a new model, but boy is it the best PC controller you can get right now. Offering all the features, mappable buttons, design flourishes, and comfort that you could want from a PC controller, the Elite Series 2 is likely to be most PC players’ first pad of choice given any option – and any budget. There are four sets of these. The “big rumble” sits on the left side, used for explosions and whatnot. A less powerful motor to the right of the pad handles lower amplitude rumble, and there are smaller still rumble motors in each trigger. The full complement.

There are no rubberized or soft-touch parts to the grip, as seen in the Razer Wolverine and Xbox Elite Controller, which is a shame. However, ergonomic choices are solid. Please make sure you have the latest firmware version installed. If the latest version is not installed, follow the instructions below. But there’s more and Thrustmaster have seen fit to include some on-board audio controls on the front side of the eSwap XR; volume up, volume down and a mic button placed just to the left of the 3.5mm audio port. They prove to be extremely easy to hit whilst playtime goes on and is something that we’ve waxed lyrical about with other controllers – why can’t all have some form of onboarded audio controls to ensure we never have to take our hands of the controller whilst playing.The adjustable positioning of the modules on the gamepad — either right in the middle of a game, or when you’re not playing — lets you adapt the configuration for the best possible fit with your needs, or those of your team. Some companies get around this by using their own wireless dongles that plug into the console’s USB port. But with this method, you are unlikely to get the same low latency and strong signal as Microsoft’s system. Platforms required:PC running Windows® 10 or more recent.Game consoles: Xbox One™, Xbox Series S™, Xbox Series X™ The ESWAP X PRO CONTROLLER features an unlimited modular ecosystem, at the crossroads of design and performance.

Measuring 6.09 x 4.72 x 2.63 inches (WLH), the overall build is a little larger than the Xbox Series X controller, but it specifically has much longer handles, not unli-ke a PlayStation controller. That makes sense, as the original Eswap Pro was made for the PS4, and its design seems to be heavily based on the Astro C40 TR, another modular controller also designed for the PS4. The big chassis is a boon, handles and all. It fits well and fills your hands when you grab it, so there’s no need to grip tightly. Your fingertips have plenty of room to post up at the base of the handles, giving you easy access to the rear buttons. And though that bigger frame and the modular parts add some mass – the Eswap X Pro weighs 329 grams, versus the Series X controller’s 287 grams – the well-balanced Eswap X Pro makes that heft feel like a comfort rather than a burden. ThrustmapperX gives you a huge boost in your quest for gaming greatness. The dedicated software lets you master and adjust all essential settings, by creating different presets for enhanced gaming ergonomics and optimized comfort, to meet your specific needs.The Thrustmaster eSwap X Pro is purely a wired controller. Almost all third-party Xbox pads are wired because Microsoft uses a proprietary wireless system. Companies like Thrustmaster cannot simply bung a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi chip in their pads and have it work with Xbox consoles as well as the first-party ones. Flawless responsiveness — thanks to the tact switches incorporated into each module and button — is a must when it comes to boosting your chances of victory. All in all, this is a terrific PC pad, and one that balances value, performance, battery life, and durability. Given you can get a whole host of colours and even design your own via the Xbox Design Lab, you also have a huge range of personalisation options.
