EasySMX X20

Manufacturer: EasySMX

The EasySMX X20 is a third-party game controller designed around an asymmetrical joystick configuration, catering to players who prefer that familiar layout for everyday gaming sessions. Weighing 225 g and measuring 153 × 102 × 56 mm, it occupies a fairly standard footprint for a full-featured wireless controller. One of its more notable inclusions is hall effect technology, applied to both the thumbsticks and the triggers, which uses magnetic sensing rather than physical contact to reduce wear over time.

Connectivity covers Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz wireless, and wired USB, while platform support is listed for PC and Nintendo Switch. The controller runs on an internal rechargeable battery and reaches a 1000 Hz polling rate, alongside gyroscopic aiming and dual force feedback rumble. Rounding out the feature set are two onboard memory profiles, remappable buttons, interchangeable thumbsticks, and four back paddle buttons — though there is no 3.5 mm audio jack, built-in microphone, speaker, touchpad, or adaptive trigger functionality.

Pros
  • Hall effect thumbsticks and triggers use magnetic sensing, which avoids the physical contact wear associated with traditional potentiometer-based inputs
  • Three connection options — Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz wireless, and wired USB — cover a range of setups without needing adapters
  • Back paddle buttons and full button remapping give players direct access to additional inputs without removing thumbs from the sticks
  • Gyroscopic aiming provides an alternative input method for games that support motion controls
  • Dual force feedback rumble adds tactile response during gameplay
  • Two onboard memory profiles allow different button configurations to be saved and switched directly on the controller
Cons
  • No 3.5 mm headset jack means audio accessories cannot be plugged directly into the controller
  • Compatible only with PC and Nintendo Switch, excluding other platforms
  • No charging dock is included, so the controller must be charged by cable
  • Triggers and bumpers lack textured surfaces, which may affect grip during extended sessions
  • No adaptive trigger functionality, limiting compatibility with games designed around that feature
  • No integrated touchpad, which may restrict use with certain PC software or games that rely on that input
Who is this for?

The EasySMX X20 is a good fit for PC and Nintendo Switch players who want a versatile wireless controller without being locked into a single connection method. The combination of hall effect thumbsticks and triggers makes it particularly well-suited to users who log long gaming sessions and want inputs that resist wear over time. Players who rely on back paddle buttons and button remapping for competitive or action-heavy games will also find the layout accommodating, while the inclusion of gyroscopic aiming adds value for those who enjoy motion controls in supported titles.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who need broad platform support beyond PC and Nintendo Switch will find this controller limiting, as it is not compatible with other systems. Anyone who relies on adaptive triggers for immersive or platform-specific gameplay will not find that functionality here. The absence of a 3.5 mm headset jack makes the controller a poor match for players who prefer to plug headphones directly into their controller, and the lack of a touchpad rules it out for workflows or game interfaces that depend on that input method.

Design:

controller weight 225 g
width 153 mm
height 102 mm
thickness 56 mm

The EasySMX X20 follows an asymmetrical joystick layout, positioning the thumbsticks in the offset arrangement common to many mainstream controllers. It weighs 225 g and measures 153 mm wide, 102 mm tall, and 56 mm thick, giving it a fairly compact and manageable form factor. The triggers and bumpers do not feature textured surfaces.

Buttons:

number of buttons 18
has paddle buttons ✓
has button mapping ✓
Thumbstick type Hall effect
has hall effect triggers ✓

has adaptive triggers ✕
has an integrated touchpad ✕

The EasySMX X20 offers 18 buttons in total, including back paddle buttons and full button remapping support, giving players a reasonable degree of control customization. Both the thumbsticks and triggers use hall effect technology, relying on magnetic sensors rather than physical contacts for more consistent input over time, and the thumbsticks are also interchangeable. Adaptive triggers and an integrated touchpad are not part of the controller's feature set.

Power & Connectivity:

Power type Internal rechargeable battery
connection type Bluetooth, 2.4GHz wireless, USB
compatibility PC, Nintendo Switch

The EasySMX X20 is powered by an internal rechargeable battery, removing the need for disposable cells. For connectivity, it supports three methods — Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz wireless, and wired USB — offering flexibility depending on the setup. Platform compatibility covers PC and Nintendo Switch.

Features:

polling rate 1000 Hz
has gyroscopic aiming ✓
includes a charging dock ✕
travel bag is included ✕
Has dual force feedback ✓
onboard memory profiles 2
has a built-in speaker ✕
has a built-in microphone ✕
has a socket for a 3.5 mm audio jack ✕

The EasySMX X20 runs at a 1000 Hz polling rate and includes both gyroscopic aiming and dual force feedback rumble, adding motion-based input and tactile response to its feature set. It stores up to two onboard memory profiles for saving configurations directly on the controller. On the audio side, there is no built-in speaker, microphone, or 3.5 mm headset jack. The controller also ships without a charging dock or travel bag.

Final Verdict

The EasySMX X20 is a capable wireless game controller that makes a reasonable case for itself through its hall effect thumbsticks and triggers, three-mode connectivity, and practical extras like back paddles, button remapping, and gyroscopic aiming — all wrapped in a fairly standard asymmetrical form factor. Its scope is deliberately focused, covering PC and Nintendo Switch without stretching to other platforms, and the absence of features like a headset jack, adaptive triggers, or a touchpad will matter to some users more than others. For players on those supported platforms who prioritize input longevity and control flexibility over audio integration or platform-specific features, the EasySMX X20 represents a functionally well-rounded option that covers the essentials without unnecessary compromise.
