- Thrustmaster has announced and launched ESWAP X2 HE
- Compatible with Xbox and PC, it includes Hall Effect modules
- Otherwise it is a broad identical controller compared to the original ESWAP X2
Gaming Hardware -Brand Thrustmaster has just launched the ESWAP X2, he controller for Xbox consoles and PC.
This new GamePad is the successor to Thrustmaster Eswap X2, which was originally launched early in 2024. ESWAP X2, he is available now on the Thrustmaster’s website and will run you $ 169.99 / £ 139.99.
It’s the same price as the original X2 in the US, but the new pillow is actually £ 30 cheaper than its predecessor in the UK – nice.
And it’s probably a good thing that price points have not changed dramatically because the ESWAP X2 he seems to be a disappointing weak upgrade. The clue is in the name of the big change; That’s the inclusion of Thrustmaster’s own heart thumb modules in the box.
It is Thrustmaster’s Hall Effect Technology, which was shown on Thrustmaster Heart Controller, and was sold separately as a compatible module for the original ESWAP X2. At least by having them in the box of skirts the need to buy these drift -resistant sticks separately.
If you are not aware of it, the ESWAP controllers’ most important selling argument is the tailor-made swapped stick and D-pad modules. Similar to VICTRIX PRO BFG and PRO BFG Reloaded Controllers, you can use an included screwdriver here to exchange modules and adjust their layout. Convenient if, for example, you prefer a symmetrical stick -layout.
Otherwise, the ESWAP X2 looks identical with GamePad that came in front of it. If it wasn’t for the new logo in the middle of the controller and put them side by side, it would be hard to notice much of a difference, right down to the silhouette.
Thrustmaster also works firmly by continuing by not offering a wireless connection option here. He is a strictly cable associated controller, but again, at this price, I certainly want a wireless option to be justified. 2.4 GHz connection is still responsive, and unless you are a top-shelf-sports player, the difference in input delay between the cable and wireless compounds will simply not be felt; As long as you remain within the range of dongle of course.
As a result, it seems extremely difficult to recommend the ESWAP X2 HE if you already own the original Thrustmaster ESWAP or ESWAP X2 controllers. But that being said, he is definitely the model to go for now if you look at Thrustmaster pads for the first time, especially with the addition of Hall Effect modules.
