The labels on the back are included on all retail units. This was a pre-retail model. That's great news considering that was my only big concern about it. What do you think of the X10 Mechanic Master?
@@KeiRetroGaming My shipping was delayed by nearly a month thanks to customs. I just got it now. I'm not sure how valuable my thoughts will be since I'm not exactly a controller enthusiast. The controller I used the most was the DualShock 4 which got stick drift thus I had to buy a new controller. So far, the X10 feels nice. But what worries me is that in the circularity test the error rate was extremely high. 13.8% on both sticks. Could it be a software issue of some sort? Edit- It actually was a software issue. I had to go to easysmx's subreddit to find a Google drive link to a firmware updater and updated the firmware on the controller. And now it gives me 0.3% error.
That looks great too. I wasn't even aware of that controller until I went to their website for the X10. Would be nice to revisit phone controllers since that's what I did a review on first on my channel.
It's a great controller and gyro 6-axis also works with some games on Steam PC like Horizon Zero Dawn in NS mode... and of course with Nintendo console emulators as well!
Can you retest the circularity? Another review (more recent I'm assuming its the retail version) gave a result of 12.3% which may be really bad if they did bad on manufacturing. Thanks!
im looking for basically an 8bitdo ultimate controller with mechanical switches. this controller came up when searching for mechanical switches. Do you know of a better option or would you recommend this one? thanks and great review
I can't think of anything else with mechanical switches and full hall sensors. I know that King Kong Pro 2 uses switches under the face buttons, but they're mushy and don't have the same feel to them.
I get mushy feel and not so clicky sound from the RB button. LB has a lot clicky feeling than RB and feels alot better too. Will this gonna be a problem in the future as I'm using it? I'm getting this problem since day one.
You could try reaching out to customer support and see if they have any suggestions. If the two bumpers feel different then there might be something up with one of the switches. Both work though?
@@KeiRetroGaming it works fine but the feeling isn't right. Meh what can i expect from a Chinese mass produced controller. Should have saved for apex 4 😂
I've had my T4 Kaleid and it's not got a rings but no issues. The G7 se my kids use on Xbox have them, and all the features of my T4 Kaleid except it's not as responsive but not off by much and I can't tell the difference in game.

this controller is good but i don't like how you can feel the stick mechanism turning underneath when you move the stick. it's a very nitpicky thing, i know, but dualsense controllers don't feel like that. when you move the stick on a dualsense controller it feels like it's gliding through absolutely nothing, completely frictionless, you cannot feel the stick mechanism turning in any way. however, on the easySMX mechanic master, i can feel the stick mechanism turn ever so slightly, and that makes me not like the controller.
It was 400hz over 2.4ghz when I got the test working. Being that good at stock I imagine it would be a great overclocker but I can try it later and see what the results are.

I’ve just ordered mine, I can’t wait for it to arrive! 🎉 thanks for the in depth review!
Order mine 2 weeks ago watched review made me feel more confident in my purchase
It's a pretty solid controller overall, pretty sure you'll like it. Have fun!
This controller looks awesome!
I was quite surprised by it too! It came out of absolutely nowhere.
you can also paint or hydrodip the white faceplate, for a more custom feel. I like that it's basically a blank canvas.
That's a cool idea! Never thought of trying something like that with the white faceplates.
I like mine, I used the white cover to spray paint it in my favorite color.
I ordered it and it should arrive early January. Can't wait.
Let me know how you like it when it arrives (if you want to). I was pleasantly surprised by the quality.

Did they test over Bluetooth?
This controller using raw joystick mode which is better then software dead zone like gamesir hall effect joysticks.
@@Decki777 can you explain more about what you said? I'm not that familiar sorry

0.3% on both the left and right joystick over 2.4GHz. 0.7% over Bluetooth on each joystick. Just retested for you. Sorry for the delayed reply.
Nice review
Nice video, thanks.
the left and right triggers are not working when pressed at the same time. how can it be resolved?
My x10 comes with labels for the modes in the back, also shows some branding and qr code for the android app I assume. Bought just this week though.

KingKong Pro 2 sticks and facebuttons are horrible. Straight to trash bin.
Mobapad Chitu. Its for switch, but it can work for pc.
Is the dongle needed for Bluetooth, or is my PC's native Bluetooth sufficient?
The dongle is for the 2.4ghz mode only. You'll be able to connect it over Bluetooth without it.
I get mushy feel and not so clicky sound from the RB button. LB has a lot clicky feeling than RB and feels alot better too. Will this gonna be a problem in the future as I'm using it? I'm getting this problem since day one.
You could try reaching out to customer support and see if they have any suggestions. If the two bumpers feel different then there might be something up with one of the switches. Both work though?

Can you swap out the joysticks with other joysticks or are they hard-fastened in?
They're soldered to the board. The caps should be swappable though but you might need to remove the front panel first.
can it compete with ps3/360 on analog stick precision for games like shooters?
It's better in my opinion. Hall joysticks are extremely precise and responsive and this controller has some of the best input latency I've seen.
Does anyone know how to map the back buttons on steam?
how is it after one month? any issues?
Still seems to work well. I've been using it on my switch and with my ally docked to my tv and both are great so far.
@@KeiRetroGaming great to hear!
It has one year warranty
on another reviews there is sign for everyting in the back
