Thrustmaster eSwap S Wired Pro Controller (Compatible with XBOX Series X/S, PC)

I absolutely love this controller. I love the buttons, the joy sticks and having the ability to change them out, the feel of it, and it's the perfect weight. It is larger then a standard controller but once you get used to it, this controller is AMAZING!The click of the buttons is super satisfying, the buttons on the back feel great, and I just overall love the thing. Will happily buy more joysticks for this controller moving into the future.

It isn’t often that I feel it necessary to go out of my way to write a scathing review, or really a review of any kind, but this product has me so pissed that it only seems right that I warn others about the trap they’re going to fall into.I’ll start with the only positive I can think of. The controller is pretty.Let me preface this by saying I’ve been through 5 of these controllers thanks to Amazons generous return policy. I have purchased many pro controllers in the past, and like all controllers they end up meeting the same fate. Stick drift after a year or two. This controller promised to fix that, and I suppose on paper it does, however..I believe wholeheartedly that the sticks they sell you/promote as durable and good for xyz amount of time, are designed to fail within a month, simply because you can just “order another one” for much less than the price of any other controller ($20 for one stick if your lucky). The sticks will give out on you, and you WILL be forced to buy more. Don’t fall for it.The sticks aren’t the only issue though. My primary reason for returning these controllers over and over again was a strange issue that no influencer or YouTuber would mention. Double inputs. You’ll pull the trigger once and it’ll register 2+ pulls. You click A to open a menu, and it shoots you in the next 4 menus, causing you to accidentally confirm something, send an invite to someone, or sell an item. There is NO fix for this, just “replacements”. There is NO contact with thrustmaster. Amazon couldn’t get a hold of them either, which is why I was repeatedly given new controllers.The tactile buttons are nice at first, but around a months time they start to feel unresponsive, either doing too much, or nothing at all. They lose that clicky appeal they had very quickly when every attempt at navigating a menu or rolling in dark souls turns into a button mashing simulator.The UI/Application for this controller is abysmal. It is slow, it’s ugly, and half the time it doesn’t save the profiles you made for the controller. Oh, and speaking of controller profiles, your controller sometimes takes a mind of its own, and refuses to switch between profiles unless you repeatedly unplug/plug the controller.For the $130 price tag, you can just as easily buy two standard wireless controllers, and an extra attachment for the buttons on the back.Please, and I mean PLEASE, do NOT be fooled or swayed by YouTube videos like I was. This controller is nothing short of awful. Stick drift is an issue that desperately needs a fix, but dropping 20 bucks every month like your paying a membership for your thumbsticks isn’t the fix. This controller isn’t for consumers, it’s for the company’s pockets. Don’t be fooled.

Honestly I seen the reviews and was kinda worried but I have a buddy who swore it was a good controller which I mean when nothing wrong with it, it is! But literally after not even having the controller for 2 weeks the B button was starting to not register about a forth of the time I’d press it so thankfully Amazon let me return it for a new one. But now about a month and a half later my left trigger (LT) is starting to act up and when I press it in and release it sometimes for let’s say shooter games for example, ill stay zoomed in for a couple seconds extra before it lets me zoom back out. Theres an app that you can download with the controller to correct it I guess but why spend all this money for something that just isn’t gunna work fine right out the box without having to correct it. Also I get the whole gimmick thing with the controller as well is to be able to change the sticks out but literally after that month and a half both the sticks went crazy on the stick drift and I had to order 2 new sticks cost about another 50ish dollars cause it’s like 20 dollars for a thumb stick plus shipping yikes. Anyway. I do like the way the controller feels and the way the buttons click but yeah not worth for the problems I’ve been having. Don’t recommend.

I ordered this controller August 2nd. Went on vacation for 3 weeks so the controller was not used during that time. Then on October 3rd, the controller developed severe stick drift even after increasing the dead zone from 1% to 10%. I ended up having to order replacement sticks for $50! Otherwise this controller has been amazing, extremely responsive buttons, nice feel, the analogs are top notch aside from one failing so soon.UPDATE: Thrustmaster immediately sent a replacement stick. Very good support and response time. I took the old analog and tore it down and took an alcohol swap to the encoder disk on both potentiometers which fixed the issue in 5 min. Seems there was some foreign metallic debris likely from manufacturing that was throwing off the encoder.
