Thrustmaster eSwap S Wired Pro Controller

TL;DR This is a trap item. DO NOT BUY I've had this controller for about 2 years now. And whenever I use it for any game that requires the full capacity of it, I'm always disappointed. 2 months in, both my sticks had drift, and now after barely using it one of the triggers has drift too. This is just insane to me how low quality this item is for a pro controller. In comparison to my PS4 and Switch Pro controllers, which are more than 3xs the age of this one, and around the same price point they are still completely fine. Here are the Pros: 1. Good looking controller 2. Mechanical Face Buttons 3. Hot-Swappable Sticks 4. Mechanical D-Pad 5. Wired Now...Here are the Cons: 1. Terrible Base sticks. Horrible Horrible drift even worse than the Nintendo Joy-cons. Failed within the very first couple months with very very light use. I'm not kidding. 2. Terrible Trigger buttons. Even these can drift somehow. I've never heard of or experienced trigger drift before this controller. The drift is so very bad. 3. Face buttons, shoulder buttons and D-pad, though mechanical feel mushy 4. Terrible mapping software (adjusting deadzones to deal with the drift doesn't seem to do much of anything when using controller in games, even though the GUI of the mapper shows you otherwise) 5. No wireless option (no wireless on ANY of thrustmaster's controllers.) 6. Responsiveness feels questionable even though it sports some of the the lowest latency around coupled with one of the highest polling rates of any controller (this might be subjective). Feels inconsistent even though its wired. 7. The better H2 & H5 stick modules can cost up to 3/4 the amount of the eswap S ($65) at the time of writing this review--which is now almost half less than what I bought it for in 2023 ($115); the H2 & H5 sticks are $39.99 8. For certain games Thrustmapper Triggers the anti-cheat Do not buy this controller unless you got money and time to waste.
