The best Switch 2 controller just got better (and a little worse)

"The EasySMX S10 Lite is the first third-party controller to offer native support for the Switch 2. It's an improvement on all non-Nintendo wireless controllers, which rely on macros to execute system-level commands, like GameChat, and require a strange, yet common first-time setup process to be able to wake the Switch 2."

"This native support also lets you configure the S10 Lite's GL and GR rear paddles through the Switch 2's operating system by holding the controller's Home button while in-game. It's the only controller not made by Nintendo that can do this. This lets the S10 Lite take advantage of the fact that the console can remember custom GL/GR mappings on a per-game basis."

The EasySMX S10 Lite represents a significant advancement in third-party Switch 2 controllers by achieving native operating system support, a feature previously exclusive to Nintendo's official controllers. Unlike other third-party options that rely on macros for system commands and require complex setup procedures, the S10 Lite integrates seamlessly with the Switch 2, allowing users to pair quickly, wake the console remotely via the Home button, and configure rear paddles directly through the system interface on a per-game basis. This native integration eliminates the need for manual button mapping adjustments when switching between games. The controller maintains backward compatibility with the original Switch, though advanced features function only on Switch 2.
