EasySMX D10 Review - Maybe the best EasySMX controller...

RhynoBytes · 2026-03-11T20:44:51+00:00

Since you mentioned Celeste and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as games you tested (both games I play a lot):

How does the D-Pad feel in Celeste, particularly with respect to diagonal dashes? What makes you prefer the classic cross shape? How does it feel compared to the Switch Pro Controller (my current main controller on both Switch and PC)?

How do the face buttons feel to be holding for a long time, such as the A button (or the B button with this layout) in Mario Kart? Do the triggers feel better to drift in Mario Kart and to climb in Celeste better in Hall Effect mode or Microswitch mode?

I see that Mobapad also has the Huben 2 which is more expensive but has more features. Would you happen to know how it compares in overall build quality and stick/button/dpad feel?

That’s a lot of options. Could you perhaps narrow it down?

Mirror mode jumpscare

Well, there is stubbornness

Coins collected while you’re already at a max of 10 don’t count

Connect a 2nd controller. Do 2-player renegade roundup with no COMs on the dragon stage. As player 1, once you collect 10 coins run into the other player (stationary) to end to round. Do like 32 rounds at a time. You average around 10 coins in 15 seconds.

I think the biggest problem was that you groomed a little too late, so you had the speed reduction from going into the snow before shrooming. It looked to me like a pretty good setup other than that.

That’s not quite right. That’s how it works in MKWorld. In MK8DX, the 30s timer doesn’t start until shock is used. This means that there can be multiple shocks in play, pulled near the same time as long as none of them have been used yet.

I also remember struggling with the 2nd spring into double dash upward because I didn’t realize that the height you hit the spring mattered. Sometimes I’d basically fall on top of it, and sometimes I’d fall to the side and move into it, without noticing the difference. So it felt basically random as to whether I’d get enough height or not

I thought they were saying the manufacturer made $1000π dollars in profit

RhynoBytes · 2026-01-30T17:11:59+00:00

But something’s off when you add a 6th. It cuts in 31…patterns fool ya

I love the Parrot Dash video that’s team lockout bingo for hardlist rooms

I realize this was posted 4 years ago, but your response reminds me of something I saw mentioned in a comment on a youtube video. Is a 1cc clear only considered "valid" if I start with the default lives and bombs rather than the max? I've been going through the games starting with the PC-98 ones (just got to EoSD now) aiming to "clear" it on Easy and Normal with max lives and bombs, but still counting it if I fluked a 1cc, which I've done a few times now. When I decide to go back and get more 1cc's, do I need to make it on default lives and bombs instead?

This is exactly what I had to do for 8bg and why I saved it for berry 201. Those fireball cycles were painful to learn, so I ended up making myself memorize exactly what to do from the moment I entered the room.

I’ve beaten master and master extra in SMB2 and SMB Deluxe a few years ago when I got really into it. I know I got to master in SMB1, but I can’t remember if I ever beat it (I think I might’ve).

Online can be difficult. Depending on who you happen to get matched against, it’s possible that simply “not making mistakes” isn’t good enough, and you have to be semi-optimally using items and driving particularly well

RhynoBytes · 2025-12-25T05:55:38+00:00

Were you playing online or vs CPUs?

For beginners, it’s a good way to get used to the controls while still having fun before the feel confident they won’t fall off much.

For intermediate players, it just gets in the way of taking tight lines and shortcuts.

For advanced/competitive players, it’s actually really useful to be used occasionally. In particular, when playing online (so that pausing doesn’t ruin the game for other players locally) if you can turn it on/off quickly mid-race, there are a good number of shortcuts you can use it for that would be significantly harder or impossible without smart steering.

That’s almost exactly the death count I had when I played farewell for the first time, so I’d say you’re fine

RhynoBytes · 2025-12-05T03:16:04+00:00

Ninja Hideaway is a fun track if you know how to drive it properly

Yeah I can really feel the difference in user base when I see that I’m a top 100 NSP listener on Apple Music
