Description
The EasySMX X10 is a wireless Bluetooth game controller aimed at PC players, sold in a version themed around Black Myth: Wukong. Two features define it: Hall effect sensors in both the joysticks and the triggers, and a magnetic faceplate that can be swapped for a different design. The listing names PC, Nintendo Switch, Steam, Android TV, Android and iOS as supported platforms, gives a model number of X10, and dates the product to October 2023.
Before anything else, a caution about the source data. The product description field on this listing is empty, and the specification block contains only packaging dimensions, weight, model number and category ranking. That means most of what can be said with confidence comes from the product title itself. This review states what the listing supports and identifies what it does not cover, rather than filling the gaps with plausible sounding numbers.
What Hall Effect Sensors Actually Change
This is the specification worth understanding, because it is the reason a controller like this exists at a step above the basic tier. A conventional analog stick uses a potentiometer: a wiper physically dragging across a resistive track, with the resistance telling the controller where the stick is. That contact wears. As the track degrades, the controller starts reporting movement when the stick is at rest, which players know as stick drift. It is the single most common failure mode in game controllers and it is a wear problem, not a manufacturing defect.
A Hall effect sensor reads the position of a magnet instead, with nothing touching anything. There is no wiper and no track to wear out, so the drift mechanism is removed rather than delayed. The listing states that both the joysticks and the triggers use Hall sensors. Hall triggers add a second benefit: analog travel that stays consistent over time, which matters in racing and flight games where partial trigger pull maps to throttle or brake.
What Hall sensors do not do is make a controller feel better in the hand, improve build quality elsewhere, or guarantee it survives being dropped. They address one specific failure mode. That is worth paying for if you keep controllers for years, and worth less if you replace them often anyway. For comparison, the Machenike G5PRO Max SE also lists Hall effect sticks and triggers, which gives a sense of how quickly this feature has moved down the price ladder.
The Swappable Faceplate and Themed Design
The listing describes a magnetic swappable faceplate. Mechanically this is a cosmetic panel on the top shell that lifts off and clips back on with magnets rather than screws or clips. The practical value is that a scuffed or discolored faceplate can be replaced without replacing the controller, and that a shared controller can be visually assigned. The listing does not state how many faceplates are included in the box, whether spares are sold separately, or whether faceplates from other EasySMX models fit. Those are all worth asking before buying if the feature is a reason for your purchase.
The Black Myth: Wukong branding in the product title refers to the artwork rather than to any functional difference, and the listing does not describe any game specific software, profile or licensing arrangement. Treat it as a design variant.
Platform Support
The title names PC, Switch, Steam, Android TV, Android and iOS. That is a broad list, and on controllers of this type broad support usually means several connection modes with different behavior in each. The listing does not say which platform uses which mode, whether a USB dongle is included alongside Bluetooth, whether wired USB operation is supported, or how you switch between platforms. It also does not mention Xbox or PlayStation compatibility, and the absence of those names in a list this specific should be read as a real absence rather than an omission.
For PC users the practical question is whether the controller presents itself as an Xbox style device, which is what most Windows games expect, or as a generic gamepad requiring per game configuration. The listing does not answer that. Steam’s own controller layer smooths over a great deal of this, which is presumably why Steam appears in the compatibility list, but it is not a complete substitute for native recognition. A phone clamp style controller such as the GameSir X2s takes a different approach for mobile play, and a bumper case like the RhinoShield RhinoBuff addresses the grip problem on a phone rather than the input problem.
Highlights
- Hall effect sensors in both joysticks and triggers, addressing the stick drift wear mechanism.
- Magnetic swappable faceplate for tool free cosmetic changes.
- Wireless Bluetooth connection, with PC, Switch, Steam, Android TV, Android and iOS named.
- Model number X10, listed as a Black Myth: Wukong themed design variant.
- Listed item weight of 1.26 pounds, package dimensions 7.48 x 5.94 x 3.62 inches.
- Listed in the PC gamepad category rather than as a console first accessory.
Things To Consider
The dominant consideration here is missing information, and it is fair to hold that against the listing. There is no stated battery capacity, no quoted runtime, no charge time, no charging connector type, no polling rate, no mention of gyro support, no button layout diagram, no software or firmware update path, and no statement of what is in the box beyond the controller itself. The description field is blank. A buyer cannot assess battery life, latency or remappability from this page.
Where the current site copy previously quoted a specific battery runtime and named additional button features, those figures are not present in the listing data available to us and have been removed rather than repeated. If battery life is decisive for you, get that number from the manufacturer or the retail packaging before ordering.
A second consideration is the platform ambiguity above. Controllers advertising six platforms often support them through different modes, and a mode that works on Switch may not be the mode that works on a PC. If you intend to move the controller between a PC and a Switch regularly, confirm how mode switching works.
Third, the listed weight of 1.26 pounds is on the heavy side for a gamepad if it refers to the controller alone, though it may include packaging. Heavier controllers feel more substantial to some players and cause fatigue for others, and this is not something a specification sheet resolves.
Who Should Buy It, and Who Should Not
Buy the X10 if Hall effect sticks and triggers are your priority, you play primarily on a PC through Steam, and you are comfortable buying on the strength of that one feature plus the design. Drift resistant sticks are a genuine durability upgrade over the basic tier, and the replaceable faceplate is a small but real answer to cosmetic wear.
Do not buy it if you need a documented battery specification, if you play on Xbox or PlayStation, or if you want a controller with a published remapping and firmware story. Buyers who want the accessory to be part of a wider setup should look at what else is on the desk first, since a keyboard such as the Redragon K652 often matters more for PC play than the gamepad does. Our gamepads and standard controllers category covers the alternatives we track, and this listing is a good example of why reading the specification block matters before ordering.
