As the official successor to their popular ESWAP X Pro, Thrustmaster has now unveiled the new ESWAP S Pro controller, with one of its highlights being that the new and improved design fits all hand sizes and gaming styles. Of course, it also inherits the hot-swap mechanism that the original brought to the table, alongside a number of new features that's sure to shake the controller game.

The ESWAP S Pro works on the fundamentals of RELOAD, RESTART, SUSTAIN for its design:

RELOAD: Say goodbye to losing control because of an aging mini-stick that drifts! With T-MOD technology and the unique Hot-Swap feature, you can replace your mini-sticks instantly.

RESTART: There's no need for a screwdriver or any other tools — it just takes a couple of seconds to swap out an old mini-stick for a new one. Get right back to your game before the next level finishes loading!

SUSTAIN: You’ll never need to buy a new gamepad just because its mini-sticks are worn out. Keep the same controller and just replace the mini-sticks when necessary, allowing you to maintain even extremely intense gameplay indefinitely.

Here are some additional features of this new controller from Thrustmaster:

IMPROVE YOUR AIM Specially designed to help perfect your aim, ESWAP S PRO CONTROLLER features optimized next-generation (NXG) analog mini-sticks, for enhanced precision and an extended lifespan of 2 million activations. Whatever happens, you’ll never be able to blame your gamepad — because it will never let you down!

MASTER YOUR DIAGONALS Dominate in fights and master all your diagonal movements, thanks to a D-pad with 4 tact switches for fantastic responsiveness. Developed in conjunction with a renowned fighting games expert, you’ll be able to link up all of your combos incredibly easily — thanks to an ideal activation distance of just 0.02 inches / 0.45 mm.

SUPER-RESPONSIVE BUTTONS You’ll definitely want to take advantage of the super-responsive clicks made possible by the controller's tact switch buttons — which are 64% faster than standard membrane-based buttons (as evaluated in lab testing conditions), and rated for more than 5 million activations. Each button features a high-quality tact switch for next-level performance, with a satisfying "click" feel. Response times are close to zero, with the buttons’ activation distance reduced to 0.01 inches / 0.3 mm. Enjoy a better feeling of control, throughout long gaming sessions and over the long term.
