EasySMX X15 Mecha: The Lights Reach Across the Controller
Opening the black Mecha version and turning on its RGB for the first time.
Article published November 4, 2026.
Another EasySMX package lands on the unboxing table, and I do not know which controller is inside until I open it. This time it is the X15 Mecha, the black version with lighting spread across its body.
Get it out of the box
I look over the listed connection options, then take out the manual, USB cable and small wireless receiver. The packaging describes wired and wireless use, but I am starting with a much simpler check.
I plug the USB-C cable into the controller and turn it on.
That is a lot of color
The lighting starts up across the translucent sections of the shell. It is more of an all-over effect than just a ring around the sticks, which is the detail I want to show in this short video.
I mention the other color version and plans to look at the settings later. I do not go through the software or record gameplay tests in this unboxing.
The hands-on testing is still ahead
EasySMX sent this one over. I want to spend time with the controls before saying how it performs in games; the first power-on does not establish latency, battery life or stick accuracy.
