A Great Game Controller With A few Caveats.
By K. Porterfield on Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2023
The Thrustmaster eSwap X Pro Controller is a great controller for the most part. The one place where it could use a little help is with the joysticks. They wear out a little sooner than some on the market do. Fortunately, there is a really great fix for this! There is a third party part which you can order which you can use to replace the joysticks without having to replace all of the joystick, whether you are using the sticks which came with your Thrustmaster eSwap X Pro Controller, or if you are using one of the colour packs. You can find the third party replacement part on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09H7PVZMY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The replacement part will also eventually wear out, just as all joysticks usually do, but it will take a lot longer for it to do so. The replacement part will make the joysticks much stiffer, so if you have unusually weak thumbs, you may need to chose a different option. The box which the Thrustmaster eSwap X PRO Controller comes in is really nice, and it's that way for a reason. When your gaming session is done, you should put your Thrustmaster eSwap X Pro Controller back in its box, and fit the stiff foam part over the two joysticks in the way that it originally came. It has a cut-out which fits over the switch controller in such a way that it can't be inserted incorrectly. The purpose of this packing piece is to ensure that the sticks are perfectly centred, and that neither spring has any extra tension on it. This will not only ensure that your joysticks last longer, but it will also ensure that your joysticks will remain tensioned properly even over long periods of time. The eSwap X PRO is both a very high quality controller, but also a rather expensive one too, so you'll want to give it the best care possible. Initially, the Thrustmaster eSwap X PRO Controller is more expensive than most controllers, but if you replace the spring box (the mechanical part only, not the whole joystick), you'll eventually recoup that extra expense by not having to buy a new controller every time the joysticks wear out. The thing to remember is that unless you want to customize your colours, you should never buy Thrustmaster replacement sticks. Always buy the Epindon Thrustmaster eSwap Pro Controller Replacement Stick Module Kit instead (see above link). Summary: If you do not use a game controller very often, then this joystick is probably not going to be for you. But if you use a controller a lot (almost daily) then this is definitely the game controller for you. If you game a lot using a controller, this controller will save you money over time if you use the Epindon Thrustmaster eSwap Pro Controller Replacement Stick Module Kit when your joysticks wear out, especially if you put it away in its original packing after each play session.

Simply not worth it
By Just Me on Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2024
I bought 2 of these but not for the reason you may think. They were purchased because it is impossible to actually buy any replacement original parts. The company is based in France and Canada and their tech support is only available a few days out of the week from 3-7 pm. That's correct only those few hours. Spoke to a very nice person who stated they DO NOT STOCK ANY ITEMS IN THE USA, Everything is shipped from France. Sold in Euros and only can be paid via paypal via the tech phone support. The controller fits really well in the hand and is solid, except the buttons wear out quickly as do the sticks. Once that happens you are stuck like I was. So I bought another one to use as parts. The USB cable is nice but will also wear out and if you accidentally connect it upside down you may damage it and it will never go in. Yes happened to me and I did not use much force. RLCS former Pro Lethamyr recommended this controller so on that I made the leap. Their website is anemic and it seems they were not ready for the market place in reality. Tech was apologetic but kept making excuses as to why it was a such. Bottom line is save your money and just by a controller for half the price. You wont regret it The product has great potential but it seems they built these parts in what is called, planned obsolescence. Sticks drift and act on their own, double jumps, jello like effect in addition to a rapidly changing POV stutter. This could have been so much better. Buyer beware.
