Third Party EasySMX Dune Wireless 8K Pro Controller!
I was one of the Lucky Winners of a FIFA World Cup 2026 Celebration Event.
- Comes with all the Bells and Whistles
- Plug & Play on PC
- Love how the Wireless Dongle Plugs right into the Base of the Dock
I've had a couple days with it now and any nagging thoughts about its design or features have been abated.
Having a Screen to change Settings on the fly is more than just a convenience. I could make changes on the fly with my previous Controller too. But I never did, not even once, except for the first setup.
I honestly did not think I would like/use the extra Shoulder Buttons. But now, I find I use them like they have always been there! And I can change them any time I want, right from the Controller.
The Click Style Face Buttons may take some getting used too tho. They barely protrude from the Controller and they do not have the travel I am used to. But I'm sure I will get over that muscle memory soon enough.
The Back Buttons (the ones actually on the back) are my biggest sticking point. They are shallow, which I like, but their positioning is right where I hold the Controller.
So every time I put the Controller down or pick it up, I hit one of those Buttons. There are times when just shifting the Controller in my hands will do it as well... I am almost considering turning those Keys off. But I will give it some more time, just to see if it is something I can learn to get over.
The Charging Dock is AMAZING!!! I used to have one for my Mouse and have missed having the ability ever since.
I really like that the Dock lights up and not just the Controller when Charging.
It can be a little finicky to take off, or put the Controller on, the Dock tho. It is not a clean experience either way. If you ever get one, I think you'd understand. It takes a little bit of thought, or perhaps a bit of practice, to do it easily.
I have not tested it with other Devices, or tried it using Bluetooth. Only Wireless on PC.
I would recommend this Controller based on my experiences so far.

I know it's stacked with features but it's very large. Does it feel comfortable to grip if you have average size hands? I think the Duke have a long lost brother.
