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

Product Information

The precise, responsive and adaptable gamepad officially licensed for Xbox Series X|S, featuring next-generation (NXG) modules, ensuring an optimized experience for every type of game and gamer. The Thrustmaster eSwap X Pro’s triggers can also be swapped out, but this requires the use of a small screwdriver. And they, you guessed it, can be customized on the pad itself too. 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. 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.

Thrustmaster eSwap X PRO Controller (Xbox Series X/S and PC)

Thrustmaster does not appear to sell a longer version. Just buy a USB extender cable if you need a greater length. There’s no doubt the Thrustmaster eSwap X Pro is a top-quality gamepad. But it doesn’t quite match up to the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 in some important respects. Open the Microsoft Store, search for ThrustmapperX and install the software on your PC, or else visit:The Thrustmaster eSwap X Pro’s modular system is easily the most catchy part of this pad, and the obvious reason to buy instead of an Xbox Elite pad, Razer Wolverine or Scuf Prestige. 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. The ESWAP X PRO CONTROLLER is the ultimate weapon for gamers in search of an optimized experience for each type of game. Third-party pads like the Thrustmaster eSwap X Pro always make you assess your priorities. Customization outside of the modular system is another highlight here.

ESWAP X PRO CONTROLLER - | Thrustmaster

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. Make sure that you have the latest driver version 1.50 installed. If not, please follow the instructions below. Like most third-party Xbox controllers, the controller mapping options are somewhat limited. You can only remap the core D-pad functions, the face buttons, bumper, triggers, and rear buttons. You cannot change any of the system buttons or Thrustmaster’s added settings inputs. Also, you can only swap among those inputs, unlike the Xbox Elite controllers, which add additional functions like launching apps or additional capture options. This increasingly seems to be the norm among third-party gear for consoles, but it severely limits the utility of both the configuration app and the rear buttons. Thrustmaster Eswap X Pro – Performance and GamingIt’s undoubtedly a different feel to the current first-party pads, but one that seems a good fit for the kind of serious gamer who might buy a Thrustmaster eSwap X Pro.
