    The controller is decent. Gets the job done and has good quality. Some of the buttons could be better and that wire is so long that it sometimes coils up and gets knotted but overall good controller. Also I always buy the warranty for it since I drop my controllers or just get dirty after two years and then can replace mine for free.

    I play a lot of pc games. But mainly I put the most hours in on Warzone and FPS games. So naturally I want to use the best controller possible. Normally I use my ps4 controller with the Sony back button attachment that I actually love. But because The ps4 remote is not made for windows like an Xbox controller is, I notice a bit of latency while playing. Not a huge lag. But I can just tell. So I wanted to try a remote that is tailored to work with windows (PC Games). This turtle beach while inexpensive is amazing for the retail price. Other controllers with these amount of features cost at least double. And this is ONLY 59.99$. We have come a long way. Because I love this controller. The difference is very noticeable over the ps4 remote. When aiming with the turtle beach Recon, it feels more so like a mouse while ADSing. Hard to explain but when you get yours you will see what I mean. I did start to see my average kill count go up by at least 2-5 kills in resurgence. The rumble hits harder and more precise than the ps4 controller. This remote feel like your typical Xbox series x controller but more grip and lighter as well. Doesn’t feel cheap at all. I thought it might lack quality because of the price. But it’s great. Back buttons are maybe not are great as the back button attachment but work perfectly after you program them. Which is easy if you actually read through the user manual. Sound EQ is nice as well. Though with most new games you can tune the Audio for better foot steps. This has that feature built in and will be easier for most gamers. Volume controls and chat controls are also built it which I love. So nice to just click up or down and not have to do that on the pc itself. Awesome job there. Turtle beach has thought of everything. This uses a type C connection but I keep it plugged in either way as it is not wireless. I think that’s where they saved the Money to pass the savings onto us, the gamers. And I appreciate that with the way you things are nowadays. I promise you will love this controller for both Xbox and PC. But especially PC gaming. Please note: If you never tried back buttons yet. It’s tough at first but once you are used to it. You won’t ever go back. Turtle beach you have a winner on your hands with this product. Great job!

    Controller was a fantastic price on a BB flash sale. The controller is solid construction, quick response time, good grip. I use it for Windows games. No compatibility problems so far. Wire connection could be a problem in future. Good BB purchase.

    Great feel and response in the controller itself. Only issue I've had is with the volume controls. When you turn up game audio it reduces chat audio and vice versa making it difficult to get exactly where you want it. All in all would recommend over the basic controller with puck.

    The controller is really good for the price and the customization to the audio and being able to have different profiles to you mapped controllers is really nice as well as the extra control it gives you with volume and voice chat volume is really nice. The back bottons work well but if you remove any pressure when you are pressing the bottons it doesn’t seem to register it, the quality of bumpers and joysticks are decent but don’t compare to the normal controller. Overall decently good for the price.

    This controller rocks. It has a better build quality than all of the official ones, including the elites. The official one's issue is that the bumpers suck. They break really easily due to their flawed design. Turtle Beach's design is much better, and the bumpers don't feel like they're going to break. I haven't even bothered with the additional features since I just needed a replacement controller. This serves the purpose and then some. It loses a star for not being able to go wireless though. Even though it's listed as wired, being able to unplug the USB-C cable from it makes is seems like it can also be used wirelessly. That's my fault for not researching it better, but oh well.

    Normally i dont trust other bramds when it comes to controllers, even though they are certified from Microsoft. However I still purchased this controller thinking Turtle Beach is a reputable company and I was not disappointed. The controller was great all buttons worked great, the controller itself doesnt feel cheap, but at the same time light weight. The audio controls on the controller are great, it makes adjusting audio so easy. The additional rear side bumpers are actually very good. I play alot of COD and mapping those rear bumpers to jump and melee has saved my life so many times. The controller itself took some time getting used to but after that it was great. The only real downside is that its wired but since its not a Microsoft made controller nothing can be done about this. Overall the controller is great, durable, and reliable it has taken quite a beating due to some rage but still holds up. Definitely would recommend as an alternative to the normal wireless controller

    I purchased this controller two years ago and it is still going strong! Every Xbox controller I purchased before this one broke within 6 months. The joysticks are usually the first to go on cheaper Xbox controllers. After two years, the only thing wrong with this controller is a Start button that sticks, but is still functional. I highly recommend this controller. For reference: I play on PC for 2-6 hours at a time, 2-3 days/week.

    This controller is awesome. It feels good in hand and i like the extra buttons underneath that i like to use for R3 and L3 to be easier on the thumbsticks. Also the enhanced hearing is great for online versus other players. Also like the mute button on the controller instead of trying to use the mute on the headset. Yes, it is chorded but it has about a 10ft reach and i prefer it over batteries. Overall I'm very satisfied with it and will definitely buy another one when the time comes.

    Great controller, really good feel and button response. The select and start button are really low compared to other controllers so it might feel different when you first start using the controller but the added adjustment controls on top are helpful at times. Great game response and firm button feel make it a worth while purchase.

    Little stick drift, but not much. Nothing too bad to get mad about. LOVE the mapped buttons on the back instead of paddles. Love the feel and response of the controller.
