Thrustmaster eSwap X Green Color Pack (Compatible with XBOX Series X/S, PC)

I've had this controller for over 2 years and I bought it knowingly, that the other controllers I've had, when used too much, lag and misfunction due to joystick drift, or what some refer to stick drift. Due to controllers moving more in the same direction, the joysticks, they begin to move faster one way, or by themselves when they should be centered. I've owned over 10 controllers, some default, some high end gaming controllers, and this controller is by far, THE BEST! I was reluctant, when I first got it, to put it back in the box and return it, as the rubber on the caps of the joysticks, was not what I was used to. Although, the oils in your hands, do absorb into the rubber, and it became by far the most comfortable, easily played with, and functional controller. The joystick modules are replaceable, and although at 49.99, it is worth it. I predicted I would have to replace them yearly, and although there was some give to the stability of the joysticks, they always were better then when other sticks start to have stick drift. The firmware and control panel, NEED TO BE USED FOR PC, and ALL UPDATES FOR THE SOFTWARE SHOULD BE USED, UPDATED, and LOADED when using it on XBOX or PC! I Suggest this controller over ALL OTHER CONTROLLERS!

Pictures attached: Lights can be weird. The slightest movement and one, or both, will turn off.The sticks from the Blue Crystal pack are longer than the default ones that come with the controller. I was initially excited to use these, but just like the controller, these developed stick drift after 2 weeks of normal use.I understand there's an app to adjust the deadzones for the controller and all, but this shouldn't be happening so soon. The Elite controller (that this was meant to replace) lasted at least a year before having problems.Not to mention: If you pay extra for a flashy blue light - you would expect it to at least light up. The lighting on the sticks can be erratic; you have to unplug the controller a couple times just to get the lighting to stay on.Overall: The controller was pretty nice the first couple days, but definitely feel cheated to have purchased such an expensive controller AND accessory, only for both to have issues within a couple weeks.UPDATE: Less than 2 months of total use. One thumbstick is now completely dead. It turns on for a second before not being registered at all by the controller.

First and foremost, props to Thrustmaster for making things like this available for their controllers. Considering that your choices these days are either to spend $60 every few months when your Microsoft controller breaks or spend $150-$200+ for something like a SCUF that still breaks after less time than you'd like, being able to easily swap out the thumbsticks, DPAD, triggers, and other cosmetic items on the Thrustmaster ESWAP X is great.I had been using the sticks that came with my controller for a while, but as they started to wear down, I wanted to get them replaced. While Thrustmaster does offer replacement sticks, they don't ever seem to be in stock as just the sticks. I've only ever seen kits like this one in stock, which is a bit annoying to put it lightly. The pricing for the individual sticks is also a bit off in my opinion, at $20 per thumbstick, $40 to replace both. It would seem to drive people towards kits like this instead. While I don't like having to spend extra to purchase items that I didn't strictly need, I can't fault Thrustmaster for the quality of their products nor their ease of installation.Regarding installation, the triggers are replaced with a screw apiece, the DPAD is most easily removed with the tool that comes with their controllers but some stout wire bent the right way would work as well. The thumbstick modules come out with a gentle pull upward and are replaced easily via their magnetic mount.In conclusion, while I'd have preferred having the individual thumbstick modules more easily available and priced lower, the replacement part quality is fantastic from these kits, the installation is easy as can be, and for those who are interested in changing the look of their controller, this provides a great experience on that from too.

Again, with all of these controllers, same with a pack of other thumbsticks I purchased from them. These are not suitable for any sort of serious gaming. They probably work for most applications but when precision matters these just don't make the cut. Out of the box stick drift started within a week and circularity tests are not acceptable. I would expect brand new thumbsticks to last AT LEAST a year before needing new ones with any sort of serious gaming.Attached a photo of the average error in the sticks when conducting a circularity test. Sorry, but these just don't make the cut. Switching to controllers with a Hall trigger system in the future. You can buy an entire controller with Hall triggers from Gamesir for LESS than just this pack alone. I'm done wasting money.

I don’t like that the analogs cannot be purchased individually. But whatever I bought the set. They unscrew pretty easy if you push hard on the analog and move it around a lot which happens a lot in cod and rocket league so tighten them down before use. I also got blue because I have the ps4 version.This is regarding the ps4 designed controller:And idk if it’s the connections on my controller or every analog I get that decides it’s gonna have slight offset and not fully make it to the left when pushing the stick to the left it’s so odd. (Like in forza horizon when turning left it’s weaker than turning right like the center is misaligned) Maybe I should have returned the controller after trying it for the first time but now I’m committed. Either way with a good software you can fix those problems mine being xb360ce because thrustmaster software doesn’t even register my controller at all of course what a poop experience for such a good product design.

Fixed up my son's Xbox controller from stick drift and he got some new colors out of it.

Very good
