- Thrustmaster announced and launched ESWAP X2 HE
- Compatible with Xbox and PC, it includes hall effect modules
- Otherwise, it is a largely identical controller compared to the original ESWAP X2
The Thrustmaster game equipment brand has just launched the ESWAP X2 HE controller for Xbox consoles and PC.
This new gamepad is the successor to the Thrustmaster ESWAP X2, which was initially launched at the beginning of 2024. The ESWAP X2 It is now available on the Thrustmaster website, and will cost you $ 169.99 / £ 139.99.
It is the same price as the X2 of origin in the United States, but the new PAD is in fact £ 30 cheaper than its predecessor in the United Kingdom-Nice.
And this is probably a good thing that the price is not considerably offset, because the ESWAP X2 it seems to be a disappointing upgrade. The index is in the name of the major change it; However, being the inclusion of the own thumb -heart modules in Thrustmaster in the box.
It is the technology of Thrustmaster’s Hall Effect, which was presented on the cardiac controller Thrustmaster, and was sold separately as a compatible module for the original ESWAP X2. At the very least, by making them circumvent the box, the need to buy these sticks resistant to the drift separately.
If you are not aware, the main sales argument for ESWAP controllers is the custom Stick and D-PAD modules. Similar to Victrix Pro BFG and BFG recharged controllers, you can use a screwdriver included here to exchange modules and adjust their arrangement. At hand if you prefer a symmetrical stick of stick, for example.
Otherwise, ESWAP X2, it looks identical to the game controller preceded it. If it was not for the new logo in the center of the controller, by putting them side by side, it would be difficult to note a big difference, to the silhouette.
Thrustmaster also seems categorical to continue not to offer a wireless connectivity option here. He is a strictly wired controller, but again, at this price, I really have the impression that a wireless option is justified. The connectivity of 2.4 GHz is always reactive, and unless you are a high -end esport reader, the difference in input delay between the wired and wireless connections will simply not be noticeable; As long as you remain within reach of the Dongle.
Consequently, it seems extremely difficult to recommend the ESWAP X2, it already owns the ESWAP or ESWAP X2 controllers of origin. But that said, it is definitely the model to go for the moment if you are looking for the first time Thrustmaster, especially with the addition of Hall Effect modules.
