Virtually every aspect of this controller can be customized, as the eSwap has a modular design that allows for new components to easily be swapped in and out. You can reload it with new analog sticks, the D-pad provides enhanced precision, the mechanical buttons are rated as 64% faster than standard membrane-based buttons, and this controller has extra rear paddle buttons.

Additionally, you can further customize this hardware with a dedicated app, allowing you to dial in your profiles to fit your particular gaming needs. The physical travel of the triggers, along with their overall sensitivity, can be adjusted and the overall lifespan of each component ranges in the millions of activations. Like other Xbox controllers, the eSwap S is compatible with Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via a USB-C connection. Keep in mind that just like other third-party Xbox controllers, the eSwap S is strictly a wired controller.

Another great Xbox controller that's currently on sale is the Razer Wovlerine V2 Chroma, a hefty design with solid engineering. PlayStation fans looking for their own customizable controller also have plenty of options, including the first-party DualSense Edge, which comes with a free game right now, and the excellent PDP Victrix Pro BFG, which is now available in a limited-edition form inspired by Call of Duty.
