Yes!
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you want paddles, never having to charge your controller and overall and simplistic and affordable approach to pro gaming- get this controller. I’m a traditionalist when it comes to some tech. This is one of this moments. Wired and basic. I used this controller to play warzone when I realized I would do better with paddles. This controller took my gaming to a whole new level. I would recommend this if you are on a budget.

A wired prodigy that flew to close to the sun
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I bought this controller because it was called the best 3rd party controller for the time of this review. I can say it was great in terms of comfort, and it's got a good price, but when it came to the sound features and the D-pad, I wasn't so impressed. I may just be using a "gaming headset" so my audio could be the problem, but I swear I couldn't get surround sound to work properly. I also felt the D-pad was a huge mistake as it should have been tactile instead of mushy, The rest of the controller is all good and I can't say exactly that I am let down when the controller works as advertised.

Posted .Thanks for your feedback Farnutgamer!
If you are using the headset on an Xbox or a PC, please ensure that your Audio Output format is set to "Windows Sonic for Headphones". That's Microsoft's proprietary surround sound format and should provide you with surround sound in the headset you have connected to the controller.
If you are a subscribed to the Dolby Atmos service, you can choose to use that audio format instead to receive surround sound.
If you are using the methods above and continue to have the same experience, please know that our Support Team is always happy to help as needed, and we can be reached right from the support section of the Turtle Beach website.
Best regards!

Third party controller that’s good?
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have to say I am surprised, I like this controller. Usually third party controllers feel cheap and just off, not this one. Feels almost as good as first party controller. Solid build quality, 2 programmable buttons on the back, and chat controls on the controller itself. The only setback is that it is not wireless. It’s just really hard to get used to having a wire on a controller. I would gladly pay a bit more for a wireless version of this controller. But great job by turtle beach making a solid third party controller.

Good wired controller if you get it on sale!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this controller on a half-off Black Friday deal because I wanted a second controller to use with my laptop so I could keep my primary controller with my Xbox. This is a good controller for the price I paid. First the good: This controller works well for playing Forza Horizon 5. The sticks are both responsive and seem accurate. I mapped the back paddle buttons to control shifting up and down, and that made a big difference but takes some getting used to if coming from the standard Xbox controller. The included USB-C to USB-A cable is long and feels like it's good quality. This is a wired controller, so no need to worry about batteries. You can save 4 different controller profiles, making it easy to switch between games. Now the less than good: Sometimes the buttons require a slightly harder press before anything happens. It's not every time, but it's enough to make it annoying in the middle of a game. The locations of the back buttons feel awkward. The process of mapping these buttons seems a little convoluted, and I don't know if I can remember how to change it if I lose the instructions. All in all, a good controller if you can get it cheap.

Great controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Highly recommend this control. There is some slight stick drift overtime but nothing crazy. The back paddles are great and configuring the paddles is easy as well.

Saved the Day Turtle Beach-Recon Controlled
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like my new controller. I had a wireless controller, but it was not working well. After shopping at Best Buy and talking to the rep, I decided on the Turtle Beach wired controller. I was glad I did, it set up great on my Window 11 PC. The price was also right as well.

Great substitute
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good dupe/replacement per my husband. He got a controller from Amazon but it only worked for 2 weeks (it actually said in the fine print *he didn’t read* that it would only work for 2 weeks before Xbox blocked it) so this one was a great substitute at a great price. Plus he has turtle beach headphones so already familiar with the brand.
