EasySMX M20 Review: Perfect for Playstation Without the Portal

### Your Phone Wants to Be a PlayStation Portal

Let’s face it: most of our gaming happens on our phones while we’re waiting for coffee or killing time on the couch. But if you’re a fan of PlayStation or emulation, playing on a touchscreen can feel like trying to play a piano with oven mitts. Enter the EasySMX M20, a telescopic controller that wants to turn your smartphone into a high-end handheld without the $200 price tag.

The M20 isn’t just another cheap plastic slab. It’s built with some seriously impressive specs, including Hall Effect sticks and a “dual-stage” trigger system. This means you can actually switch between digital and analog triggers—a rare and welcome feature for racing game fans.

The standout “party trick”? The face buttons are physically swappable. With a quick twist of a screwdriver, you can swap standard Xbox-style buttons for PlayStation iconography. It’s a small touch that makes a massive difference if you’re streaming PS5 games via remote play.

The quick hits:

  • Versatility: It stretches up to 215mm, fitting most phones and even some small tablets (up to ~9 inches).
  • Ergonomics: Thick, textured grips make it comfortable for long sessions.
  • Customization: You can swap the D-pad and use the included bumpers to steady smaller devices.

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly way to upgrade your mobile gaming setup, the M20 is a heavy hitter that punches well above its weight class.
