    Very good quality, it feels just like the original Xbox controllers and it actually has even more functions.

    Great controller. I still wanted to keep my wired headsets and this controller makes sure I will. The built in Amp works and is a huge difference from plugging them into a basic controller. Plus all the program features with mappable triggers underneath make this well worth the price! Way to go turtle beach. If this was wireless I would give it a 5!

    Stick drift slightly unfavorable, but not horrible since .06 dead zone fixed it. Decent value controller

    Started to lose connection after 5 days of moderate use. Where the usb-c cable would plug in to the controller was lose and janky. I sit in a chair less than 6 feet from the console so I was definitely not stretching the cable or putting any undue stress on the cable or the controller connection port. Avoid at all costs! That being said I really did like the controller, literally 5 days though!!!

    Was not expecting a lot from this controller since I was replacing a broken elite controller. I can honestly say I almost prefer this controller over my elite controller. Only downside is that its not wireless. I am sitting at my PC when I play games so not even really missing that feature though to be honest. 100% Recommend

    Bit on the "plasticy" side and pretty clicky side but overall a pretty good controller. But the only downside is that the physical buttons on the top don't work for pc so this controller is pretty much meant for a xbox console, pretty decent controller for price.

    This controller is amazing. The eq setup, the sound enhanced features the feel, the convenience of layout and features is just too good to pass up. If u want a controller made for shooter this is the beast to pick up. The pro aim button and changable sensitivity if the right thumb stick is mind blowing i cant believe the elite controller doesn't have these features. For just 60 bucks u get a ergonomic controller with coling grips, changeable sound profiles, button layouts, pro-aim, chat mix and whole lot more trust me this baby is worth the $$
