EasySMX S10 Gaming Controller looks to solve one of Switch 2's biggest problems

Who knew that in the year of our lord 2025, I would find myself getting excited about a controller that could wake up my console? And yet, here we are.

I was pretty shocked when I figured out that the Nintendo Pro Controller was not capable of waking up the Switch 2. When Nintendo said the Pro Controller is "compatible", I guess it didn't mean "all the way compatible". My living room is set up with my television on a stand in the corner, with the Switch 2 docked behind the TV (I'm not a big handheld guy). This means that every time I want to turn the Switch 2 on, I have to pull out the TV and fumble around for the tiny inset power button on the console. Beyond "not ideal", this dynamic has one foot on the border of "sucks". 

Lucky for me, EasySMX has a solution - the EasySMX S10 Gaming Controller. Of all the cool features on this controller, the one that has me the most excited is the ability to wake up my Switch 2. Huzzah! No more pulling out the TV! The controller also has a C button, which can be used to activate voice chat. Handy-dandy.

There are a bunch of other cool features, like enhanced vibration, Amiibo support, Detachable D-pad, and a 1200mAh battery. But can we give a cheer for the wake up feature, please? 

The EasySMX S10 Gaming Controller is available now on the EasySMX website, retailing for $49.99.
