Key points
- EasySMX S10 Lite is a $40 Switch 2 controller.
- Features Hall effect sticks, motion controls, and strong haptics.
- Includes a removable, semi-transparent magnetic faceplate.
- Faceplate is criticized for feeling cheap and poorly implemented.
Overview of the EasySMX S10 Lite
The EasySMX S10 Lite is a new controller designed for the Switch 2, priced at $40. It aims to offer a more affordable alternative to controllers that typically cost around $70, or Nintendo's Pro Controller at $90. The controller is lightweight and compact, available in ice blue or pastel pink.
Key Features and Positive Aspects
The S10 Lite incorporates several modern features, including Hall effect analog sticks, which are known for their precision and anti-drift properties. These sticks provide a soft-hit feel comparable to Nintendo's Pro Controller. The device also includes motion controls, strong haptics, and two mappable rear buttons for additional functionality.
The Detachable Faceplate Issue
A significant drawback of the S10 Lite is its semi-transparent, magnetically attached faceplate. This component is described as feeling wonky and cheap, detracting from the overall user experience. The implementation and marketing of this removable faceplate have caused confusion and overshadowed the controller's otherwise positive attributes.
Design and Ergonomics
The controller features a creamy plastic finish and an anti-slip diamond texture on the grips. While the rear buttons are within reach, their placement could be improved for more comfortable access. The stick click on the S10 Lite is noted as being stiff and audible when pressed.
