Thrustmaster eSwap Pro Controller Review

Software

You have to keep the stock modules in when you download the software. There’s a firmware update required for the LED kit to work, so let that install first, then swap over the hardware.

It’s a really simple software suite, with everything clearly laid out. Simply click which button you want, set it to an action and save. Want to swap triangle and R1 around? No problem.

You can also set any button press from the control to the four additional button on the rear of the controller.

The sticks feel great right out of the box. However, you can fully adjust their range, inner and outer dead zones, as well as their tracking speed at each interval.

This is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay beyond what I need to customise, but I can certainly appreciate the option to do so.

You can do the same for the analogue triggers too. Fancy a light press to trigger a full press, or even the other way around? No problem.

You can even adjust the maximum vibration from both the large and small motors. This I actually like, as many eSports players simply remove the rumble packs, this gives you the option to turn them off and on at will.

The controller can store two profiles and you can hot swap them on the fly just like everything else. Overall, you’re hardly short on options here!
