EasySMX is using Elizabeth Holmes levels of pedantry with this faceplate situation.

Of all the Switch 2 controllers I've reviewed in 2026, this is probably the most unexpected pick. EasySMX isn't as well-known as 8BitDo or Turtle Beach, and the S10 Lite is its most pared-down Switch 2 gamepad, regularly listed for $40. The price is exactly what intrigued me about the S10 Lite in the first place, considering most Switch 2 controllers cost around $70, and Nintendo's own Pro Controller is $90. A feature-rich gamepad that can potentially compete with 8BitDo's incredible, $30 Ultimate 2C? I'm here for it.
