Thrustmaster ESWAP X2 H.E and NRG : From Bootcamp to World Champion

Rennes, October 1st, 2025 — Thrustmaster announces the launch of the ESWAP X2 H.E, the first model in the ESWAP range to feature the brand’s H.E.A.R.T. (HallEffect AccuRate Technology). Developed from over 15 years of expertise in magnetic sensor systems for flight simulation, this Hall Effect technology delivers unrivalled accuracy and durability. With a detection precision of 0.01 degree and complete protection against drift, H.E.A.R.T. ensures that every mini-stick movement is reproduced with flawless consistency, providing players with the highest level of control.

ESWAP modular gamepads have long set the benchmark for performance-driven gamers and competitive players. With the integration of Hall Effect technology, this innovation is now accessible without requiring players to purchase a new controller. Gamers can enjoy the benefits of H.E.A.R.T. while continuing to adapt the ESWAP layout to their own playstyle — ensuring the gamepad fits the player, not the other way around.

AT THE HEART OF PRECISION

Drift is a common issue where the cursor moves even when the joystick is not being touched. In traditional gamepads, potentiometers sticks wear out over time, lose precision, and can cause drift. H.E.A.R.T. technology measures the position of the stick without any mechanical contact or friction, effectively eliminating this problem. The gamepad maintains its original precision over the long term, ensuring a consistent and reliable gaming experience and providing optimal control even after hundreds of hours of play.

With H.E.A.R.T., mini-sticks capture every movement with surgical precision, within 0.01 degree. Players enjoy exceptional responsiveness, faithfully reproducing every action. This technology is a true game-changer, particularly in titles where precision is essential. Even in the most intense situations, H.E.A.R.T. ensures total control and unerring accuracy in every movement.

TAILORED TO YOUR GAMEPLAY

The ESWAP X2 H.E offers a new level of flexibility, allowing you to customize the controller to match your playstyle. The Hot-Swap technology lets you replace modules instantly, enabling quick adjustments for both comfort and precision. Whether you prefer mini-sticks in a symmetrical configuration, an asymmetrical layout, or a completely personalized setup, the ESWAP X2 H.E adapts seamlessly to your gaming style.

REACT INSTANTLY

From the ABXY and RB/LB buttons to the D-pad and rear buttons, the ESWAP X2 H.E delivers exceptionally responsive clicks thanks to its mechanical buttons, which are 64% faster than standard membrane-based buttons (tested under laboratory conditions). Experience precise control in every dodge, parry, and action, with an activation distance reduced to just 0.01" (0.3 mm).

NRG AND THRUSTMASTER PARTNERSHIP

Thrustmaster is proud to welcome NRG, the most decorated and widely followed Rocket League team in North America, as its newest partner. As NRG’s official controller partner for Rocket League, Thrustmaster has been fully integrated into the team’s competitive journey, content, and community initiatives.

This partnership highlights a shared pursuit of competitive excellence and innovation.
