EasySMX has announced its newest controller, the S10 Lite, and it is clearly aimed at Switch 2 players who want good performance without spending too much. At only $39.99, the S10 Lite tries to deliver the feel of a premium controller while keeping things simple and easy for everyday gaming.
The idea behind the S10 Lite came from real player feedback. Many users of the original S10 said they loved it for serious gaming but needed a cheaper controller for friends, younger gamers, or casual sessions. EasySMX took this feedback and created the S10 Lite to fill that exact space. It sits right below the S10 and offers a lighter, more affordable option that still works smoothly with the Switch 2.

One of the most important parts of the S10 Lite is its native connection to the Switch 2. This means players do not need to worry about pairing issues or unstable connections. With just a tap of the Home button, the controller wakes up the console. It also includes a Switch 2-ready C button for quick voice chat and lets players remap two back buttons directly in the system menu. These features make the S10 Lite feel much closer to an official controller than most budget options.
In terms of performance, the S10 Lite tries to punch above its price. It uses Hall Effect sticks that help prevent drift, which is a common problem with many controllers. These sticks work together with the Glide Structure design, giving a soft and smooth movement feel. The upgraded 9-axis motion control is another highlight, offering better accuracy for games that use motion aiming. Add in the 1000 Hz wired polling rate, a strong 1000mAh battery, and a steady matte grip, and the controller is ready for long hours of play.
Both the user research team and the product team at EasySMX explained that players mainly wanted three things from a budget controller: durability, smooth control, and easy compatibility. The S10 Lite was created to match those needs, offering long-term stick stability, accurate motion sensors, and seamless Switch 2 support that normally appears only in high-end controllers.
