NEW CONSOLE QUALITY Gamepad For Phones - EasySMX M15 First Hands-On

[@GameTechTalk]

**PLEASE READ** #1 - I found another bluetooth mod (purple) after having shot the video, it works on Call of Duty Mobile. Please ignore the comment at 10:50
 #2 - EasySMX confirmed joint collaborative development effort between them and another manufacturer. I am delighted to know EasySMX did co-design this product! #3 - They addressed the possibility to having a special offer to viewers upon launch date, more details in time for the review, meanwhile, the AliExpress price remains the best I found.

[@_rage_quitter_11]

@@GameTechTalk If it's available globally at that price then I think even if it won't kill the G8 but it would kill a lot of others that are expensive than G8 while being lower in the Quality of components if you know what I mean.

[@beebeebobo814]

EASYSMX calls it joint collaboration but its just drop shipping. The factory price is 12-30 bucks for these controllers to be made (alibaba and aliexpress) but they market it as their own and inflate the price for profit. You were right, MEMO made the s2 that they call the m05 and also the s3 that they call m15.

I'm watching Game Tech Talk while recuperating from being stupid. At least I'm doing one smart thing today. Haha. Selfishly, I'm happy that today seemed to be somewhat jinxed for Klef too. If it weren't for his accident and subsequent community post I would've outright missed this first look. And, being a phone gamer, these sorts of affordable telescopic controllers are right up my alley until I can get my hands on an emulation handheld that can reliably do PS2/GC. For the full length review; does the charging port carry data or is it charging only like the GameSirs are? If one could plug USB-C headphones into it or maybe a thumb drive full of legally backed up ROMs, that'd be legitimately useful.

[@GameTechTalk]

Perfect Matt, making sure that this question is answered in the review! Thanks :)

[@_rage_quitter_11]

What you said that the manufacturer might be different can be true cause in my country lots of products are bought from OEM, imported then rebranded and the fact that two controllers from same company feels different is also proving it. And if it is true then every new product might be a gamble to buy since the manufacturers are different and so is their quality control. Anyways loved the first impressions and waiting for the review ❤️.

[@GameTechTalk]

That is a great point. I do want to add, I have great interests in hardware but also the companies behind them so I almost always study who I'm collaborating with. EasySMX is one of the rare companies that I have overall heard highly positive quality control and warranty experiences. I do think they have a hand in providing positive after-sale experiences but nonetheless, you raised very valid points. Thanks for watching! :)

[@mohawkie1232]

[@kanitsrvng]

Fair review, not exactly the amount of detail I expect of reviews, but as someone who's slowly growing, I'm glad you took a risk with this video. Shooting this video directly towards G8 fans is risky, as they're rather adamant about their devices and its features. I also can't give you any knock for not being completely aware of EasySMX's processes. They've always worked hand in hand with other companies on products, and only some are their own original design. EasySMX, though being around for a very long time, isn't anywhere near the size of GameSir, so original devices designs costs them a fortune. One thing that can be taken from this though. EasySMX took a design that was relatively obscure. They have a bigger reach, so they're likely going to be able to market this out farther. Will it touch the G8? Likely not. That's simply not it's target demographic. Though this is a great device.

[@GameTechTalk]

Thanks! The lack of detail was intentional, I was requested to wait for the Amazon release to make a review. If it had been just me? I would’ve gone HARD on this controller and truth be told, I’ll most likely pay the price for that, KZbin doesn’t give me impressions like that on subjects that have enough coverage on the platform. It was under my guidance that this video was approved otherwise I would’ve sat pretty with nothing to say especially since people can now buy it and review even before I have mine out. Saw a few already. I had an intuition in their process, mentioned it in previous reviews as well and quite frankly, even GameSir and EasySMX share some designs? Is it that GameSir produced for them both? Or that GameSir also occasionally subcontract? I don’t know but you seem to know more. With that said, I agree with you about the G8 but nonetheless, I do think they belong to the same « category type » of telescopic controllers. For a customer looking for the G8, I think its important to consider the M15. Thanks for all your valuable inputs, and the feedback, greatly appreciated!

[@kanitsrvng]

@@GameTechTalk I believe it was prior to GameSir's surge in growth that the two had worked hand-in-hand. That used to be a very common trend in the last 2010s going forward. Though I'm a GameSir partner on TikTok, and I often times get to hear a lot more than what the public does. As well, I often follow their BiliBili account and insider talks when they get out. GameSir is pushing in a different direction entirely. GameSir is aiming more towards a mass international market nowadays. Which, this move alone, will sever their ability to do partner relations for designs. So it's really hard to call when you ask if they work hand in hand.

[@FirzanFauzi]

To me, the G8 dpad was the best when it comes to mobile controller dpads, so your video absolutely convinced me to get this 😂 I'm an absolute nut when it comes to playing classic fighters, so the dpad is hugely important to me.

Oh yeah, I'd say it is showing every down in terms of value, if the G8+ is the best "all rounded" telescopic controller on the current market, this one definitely takes the "value proposition" crown, though that will depend on what price that it actually lands on, it feels a bit up in the air right now.

[@thatdudehaku]

I need help, my IPhone 15 is connected to my easysmx M15 via bluetooth, in my phone options in general > controller its connection as Xbox controller.

[@ZHIGZAGON-]

does this controller has a lower Dead zone than the g8+? I noticed that my my Gamesir G8+ has a higher dead zone than other contollers and it doesn't fix with the app :c

[@GameTechTalk]

Personally, I'd say so. Now, is it because the radius itself is smaller? I couldn't effectively guarantee why but I noticed those sticks for a reason and I went and re-tested, while the G8+ definitely works for me, the M15 has a certain quality to their sticks that definitely made me take notice. Cheers!

[@unclnphw]

Hi. M05 or M15? Thanks.

[@GameTechTalk]

I'd go M15 personally. Superior in every aspect in my opinion and the price difference is not substantial, I'd rather pay a bit more once, than having to pay twice to experience the better option but that's just how I view things.

[@renanwz5747]

my m05 arrived a few weeks ago and I really liked it, I bought it based on your recommendation and I definitely don't regret it the d-pad is perfect for retro games like NES and SNES, but the M15 and the Galileo seem to have better comfort when holding due to the size as if it were a console controller, now the question is which of the two choose? which one do you recommend?

[@GameTechTalk]

First of, thank you for your trust, based off of M15 and G8, and with the mindset of having a diverse set of options, I’d recommend M15 over G8. But if you want something that will also work for tablets and would like to experiment there, I’d say the G8+ is a phenomenal option and extremely versatile.

[@renanwz5747]

@@GameTechTalk I really like the Easysmx but both were going for the same price for me in this Aliexpress promotion and due to the better quality of gamesir devices after watching some reviews, I chose the G8 Galileo for its software and more customization options.

With that addressed, it remains amongst some of the more appealing options out there, even more so when accounting for cost.

[@melxb]

yeah although the g8+ not having usb c pass-through charging as well sucks, also no 3.5mm jack like the regular g8 if i remember correctly that's why i think the abxylute may end up being the ultimate controller with the best of both worlds, until then I'm satisfied with my g8 though, dpad does suck for fighters namely and no rumble/haptics but then again i dont always care for vibration nor play fighting games much anymore like i used to in the 2d street fighter alpha, marvel vs capcom, etc days

The male usb-c will still be used to supply power to the controller, the female usb-c can do so as well. But if you swap to bluetooth mode, the male one will not carry data as it would usually in wired mode. As for if the connector would get in the way, not really in the sense that this controller doesn't have battery, you must use the USB-C. I hope this makes sense. Cheers!

Can I put the fold in an orientation where the USB C's don't line up - I'm thinking that the USBC male of the controller would then impact on the side of the phone when it isn't lined up with the USBC female - so for my phone, could I use it opened up with my screens vertical? The USBC female would be then pointing down, and the USBC male would be poking into the right hand side of the phone. LOL, difficult to get this across in words.

Hi and thanks for the excellent content. In your opinion which would you recommend between the M05 and the M15 I was about to buy the M05 and then.... "A wild M15 appeared" 😅 the increase in price is negligible in my opinion so I'd appreciate your feedback

M15 is without a doubt superior on pretty much every aspect. Thanks for the kind words!

[@FOOPLE]

better m15 or g8?

[@GameTechTalk]

That’s a REALLY TOUGH question. Overall, I’d give the advantage to the M15 though. They each hold advantages over the other but the M15 is slightly better balanced and offers a smidge more in comparison to the G8, all while retaining a better price of entry. Still, I think both deserve a spot as top telescopic controllers options of the entire market and one should absolutely be happy with one or the other.

[@Avee_Itself]

Just bought one weeks ago and it is good but it is not compatible to all devices so you can use bluetooth on. My only problem is that the bluetooth keeps disconnecting and to reconnect it you need to go back to type c

[@GameTechTalk]

Have you tried grabbing the app to see if there is a firmware update? The other thing I could suggest, maybe drop the polling rate to 500hz if you are on 1000hz, technically, polling higher demands more of the hardware, maybe it's causing signal drops.

[@Avee_Itself]

@@GameTechTalk yeah... Turns out it needs to be wired just for it to work on bluetooth mode and the only way I avoid having wires is to attach a power bank in the middle instead of my phone

[@oldhoonta]

Just got mine and discovered it doesn't charge my phone when plugged via usb port in the grip. I'm using 30W charger. Is my M15 broken or what?

[@GameTechTalk]

I don’t think it’s broken, rather it’s possible that there is incompatible power rating that is not letting passthrough charging.

[@GeorgeV_3352]

I've been looking for a telescopic controller like this, but I want it to have a 3.5mm jack, or have a USB C port that transfers data so I could use USB audio passthrough. So far the only option I have found is the Gamesir G8, is there any other controller that is more budget friendly?

[@GameTechTalk]

You might be able to find a Kishi v2 Pre-Owned for a good price but personally I wouldn’t recommend that controller. If you can find a Backbone pre-owned that’ll also give you 3.5mm with USB-C. If not one of those two, your only option is pretty much the G8.

[@GeorgeV_3352]

​@@GameTechTalk Thanks for the reply, expected as much. Hopefully someone like EasySMX will come out with a controller with a 3.5mm, or I will just give in and just spend the money on a G8 or Backbone

[@syahmiazhari8414]

@GeorgeV_3352 i found Gamewing Aobian Max, more cheaper than m15 but the quality idk.

[@michaelsmelt5218]

From a durability perspective, m15 or d8 for longevity 3+ years if you had to guess?

[@GameTechTalk]

You mean G8? I mean for me, with the way I play with my stuff, I don't think any of the two would break in 3 years. I've had things break but even thinking in my life in general, it's quite uncommon. With that said, if the question is "which is better quality"? I do think the G8 feels superior in that regard, but not to the point that I would think the M15 is "cheap" if that makes sense.

M15. I have a final review in which I go more in-depth between the two and the M15, while not greater than the G8 on every aspect, is just slightly better "rounded" in my personal opinion.

[@LuongVC_Gaming]

thanks for answering if app detect as an Xbox or DS controller on Android, which is very important for us. Do they have an app to simulate touch control like GameSir's G-Touch?

[@GameTechTalk]

So I found out after filming that there is another bluetooth mode that the manual did not talk about. (FN + Turbo). That mode spoofs as a controller that definitely is compatible. As for the app, they do mention one but I'm certain it's one of those third party ones that let's you do mapping. I have not yet tested it but I'll make sure to include it for the review. Thanks for watching!

@@xiaoyu88 No sorry needed my guy, you’re good. Hmm, I’d say off the top of my head that the Galileo G8 is one of the quietest but it does have that Xbox-esque shape.

[@SacrificeJP]

I really felt so bad seeing this product right after I ordered m05. They actually released it 3 days or so after I ordered an it looks much much better than m05. Don't get me wrong m05 is also very good in terms of quality but holding it makes my hand hurt very quickly. In addition, right analog is on a terrible position. I know this is the case for most telescopic controllers and it actually felt so bad for me as this was my first telescopic controller. However on m15, right analog seems like it's positioned a bit on the left side which should give more room I guess. I wish I was in US or Canada to enter giveaway.

[@GameTechTalk]

I get what you're saying, I have been playing on telescopic controllers for so long that I sort of built tolerance to smaller grips, in fact you reminded me of those older times, it gets better. However, the market has evolved in a way that you don't really need to make that sacrifice anymore. Maybe give it a week or two, see if it gets better and if it doesn't, consider grabbing one of the "full sized" controllers such as the M15, they are infinitely more comfortable to hold, it's not even close.

[@SacrificeJP]

@@GameTechTalk I was hoping to return the m05 to get m15 but unfortunately, I couldn't refund because of my country issues. The seller was extremely helpful and they did their best to help me. Also my main problem isn't the small size of analogs but it's the position actually. When I try to press A button (X on PS) my thumb is on top of the analog which is not comfortable at all. Moving the camera is also a pain. I was using a phone holder for my dualsense and to be honest m05 isn't an upgrade over that, it's more like a sidegrade as you lose comfort from one side, you gain another type of comfort on the other side if this makes any sense.

[@GameTechTalk]

@@SacrificeJP I hear you. Sorry to hear for the refund situation. Personally, I bought probably half a dozen controller mounts over the years, I could never get used to the balance shift.
