Was kind of hesitant about this controller because of some of the reviews but I gave it a shot and I am glad that I did works really good same pad is awesome playing street fighter would highly recommend .

Great product it was a birthday gift and my dad loves it

While this controller tries to come off as fancy with all its bells and whistles, underneath it all is a fairly basic controller. The build quality is decent for the price, but don’t expect it to compare with higher end controller as it just can’t compete. The controller fits well in hand but is very lightweight which to me makes it feel on the cheaper end. I prefer a heavier controller that feels more robust, but that is really personal choice. If you prefer a light controller, you might prefer this. The sticks move extreme easily with very little resistance which makes it more difficult to give accurate motion with the sticks. The buttons are harder to press than average. Not necessarily a bad thing, but something to know. The triggers and bumpers feel pretty standard and include trigger locks. The sides are made of rubber, but not the back. It is so smooth that it doesn’t really offer any more grip than plastic does and to me doesn’t feel any better. A better grip would go a long way. The main feature of this controller are the pivot controls. This allows you to switch between a standard controller layout and a fighting/arcade layout. To switch it, you turn the sticks to sink them into the controller, unlock them on the back and flip over the controls and lock them. This is done on both sides. This is a clever feature and switching them is very quick and easy. I did have a problem getting that layout to work with games. For some reason, the buttons were not compatible and behaved badly with a lot of games that it should have worked with. Using the standard layout on this controller worked fine with those games. I was not able to get the alternate layout to work with relevant games making it kind of useless. The sticks are hall effect which should go a long way. The connection uses a dongle. I had no problems with the connection, and it never disconnected on me. I used this controller with my gaming PC and had no compatibility problems with it aside from the pivot alternate controls. It does include a screen that has helpful information on it, most importantly, the battery level. You can also easily select the profile you want to use from the screen with the menu and bumper buttons. The screen allows you to map buttons on the controller without the use of any software and configure the profiles. From the screen menu, select the button you want to map and them select from the list which button you want to map from. There is a slide control that is used to scroll through the menus and selections. You can also map the slider to control volume, mix chat, and profile select. That is a very nice extra control to have. There is an app that you can install that allows you to set up button mappings which you can also do right on the controller, adjust stick sensitivity and dead zones (I played with this and couldn’t find any differences in the settings), lighting (which I couldn’t figure out how to adjust), and firmware updates. The firmware was already up to date when I opened the controller. While the app was well laid out and simple to use, it didn’t offer me anything that I couldn’t already do right on the controller. Overall, this is a decent controller that competes with other basic controllers. The pivot feature unfortunately didn’t work with my games making that not so useful. There may be other games that it does work with but none of mine. The sticks feel a little too loose for me and buttons too firm. The screen is a big plus, works well, and allows you to configure everything without the need of any software. If you want something customizable on the controller and don’t mind a controller that feels fairly basic otherwise, this may be for you, but if you have the funds that you want to spend, I recommend spending a little more money and get something that feels a little higher quality.

Easy to use, very user friendly and quick response! It’s a must have controller.

Amazing controller with tons of features and feels of great quality. Came in a small box with the controller, braided USB type C to A cable, PC Wireless USB dongle (more on this later) and a quick start guide. Setup on a PC was easy, just plugged the USB dongle to the pc and turned on the controller, it automatically synced up and was detected on Windows. I downloaded their control center 2 app from the Windows app store and it recognized it. First I checked if there was a firmware update just in case (the app asks you to plug the keyboard with a cable to the PC for this), but there was none. Then I explored all the options the app gives you, wow! Tons of customization; you can create profiles that get stored on the controller (once you make changes in the app you don't need to have it running on the background, so this is great), tune the sensitivity of the sticks, triggers (you can set them to be short and direct or with a larger travel and press sensitive). The single best thing about this controller, is that the thumbstick are using hall effect sensors (aka, magnetic), what this does compared to the regular controllers you get with your console or other cheaper ones is it avoids STICK DRIFT over time, because its not using a potentiometer, but using magnets. Another amazing feature, that I have not seen before anywhere, is you can rotate the grey parts where the thumbstick are and change the layout of the controller, doing so, now you don't have thumbstick anymore, you have your D-pad and extra buttons that you can map and program like a macro if you want or to perform an specific command (amazing for fighting games in example!). The controller also has an amazing display that shows the connection type, battery level, what profile you are on currently, chatmix audio vol level, button mapping and can also show you social notifications like messages from your friends online, this is amazing, everything at your palm of your hand. The only con I could find was that for Xbox per Turtle beach you can only use it on wired mode (it does support audio/chat/mic on the controller, it does have a plug), wireless is PC only. Hopefully the can work around this release a future wireless dongle compatible with Xbox, but this should be enabled from the get go... .who uses still cables with their consoles? I'm luck that I use it mainly on my PC. If you are looking for a great controller, with tons of functions, customization, great battery life, this is the one!
