This controller was purchased to replace a worn series x model, price is great, volume controls work flawless in being able to lower game sound and raise chat settings in a split second is a huge plus. Not the best sound compared to a Xbox controller, but definitely hear more footsteps in FPS games. Precise stick controls help in almost all types of games. Only problem I’m having, started after second day of use is the left stick has major forward drift, but because everything works great I deal with the stick drift, couple flicks of the stick and drift goes away for about 10 minutes.

Bought this controller for my wife and her computer. She refuses to use any other controller. Excellent customer support for any issues and excellent controller.

This controller is absolutely amazing it has everything you’d need in an xbox controller. This controller feels very comfortable on your hands, and it feels soft and a very cool feature is the superhuman hearing and paddles which completely boost your gaming experience. The rubberized grips also feel amazing and this controller is excellent. Ive had this controller for over two months and it has no stick drift. I highly recommend this controller and if you are looking for a controller buy this.

Love it. For the Price, probably better than a real Xbox controller given all the extra functionality you receive. I like the way it fits in the hand and the way the sticks feel. I like the texture they add to the sticks. If you are ok with a wired controller, this is the way to go.

I got this controller because my friend said i was insane for playing Elden Ring with a keyboard and mouse. I didnt understand why he felt that way until i gor this controller. It is super cool and the mapable paddle buttons on the back are really useful. It takes an extra step on PC through the xbox app i believe to map those buttons, however. Look up a tutorial for that and itll help loads. Its also still working and functional after playing through Elden Ring and various other rage-inducing games. I love it and cant recommend it enough!

Solid controller. Works well. Audio options are nice like Superhuman Hearing and muting on the controller itself. I’ve had people complain that my microphone sounds quieter than normal when using this device. Overall, I would recommend it. Not perfect, but pretty good overall.

This controller is amazing. I use this controller all the time and love the grip and features it has.
The only thing that makes it a 4star is the fact that it gets dirty VERY quick. The material seems less oil resistant than the material on a normal xbox controller. However if your not worried about dirty controllers than give this one a try! You can really get many hours out of this controller.
The best part is it takes no batteries and has usb type c which is pretty common compared to micro or mini hdmi.

This controller has a good feel in the hands and has lasted considerably longer than most other controllers I've purchased lately.
I don't use the audio and have no opinion on that.
However, after about 1.5 years of use, it's starting to get minor up-drift on the right stick. So, it's not a durable as the newer controllers with "Hall Effect" sensors, that should last a decade+.

A great controller initially, but after around 7-8 months I was getting some really bad stick drift. I was hoping it was just that one controller that was having issues, but when I got a replacement via warranty the stick drift issues showed up even quicker, around 5 months the second time around. It’s such a shame too since I enjoyed the weight and feel of the controller and the ability to adjust sound via the controller. I’ll probably try a different brand of controller next due to the stick drift issue though.

Love this controller, figuring out the button mapping was a bit wonky but I figured it out. Also the controller sometimes won't turn the console on like it's supposed to.

Great wired controller for the price. Has tons of customization and program able. Works great with headsets and includes many audio settings for all types of games. Button mapping with extra button on the bottom of the controller, simular to xbox elite controllers which is an added bonus. Overall great wired controller with a great price.

Best controller ever? Not for my uses. Phenomenal for the sale price? Yes. Would it be even better if I had a turtle beach wired headset? Also yes. This controller is great- functioned well, sturdy construction, feels good in had. I got it because it was on sale and needed a controller for PC and it was wired. Using for other stuff however you’d be in luck as the functions of mic controlling from it were soemthing I could use but would be a great feature. I do recommend.

This thing is awesome!
I have a PowerA - Fusion Pro Wired Controller and it's nice except those back flipper button paddles.
This Turtle Beach controller has proper buttons, all around. Easy to program, easy to use this unit. Good sticks too, robust. It's like an xbox 360 quality build..strong.
Decent length for the usb cord and headphone jack.
I've only used it with my win 10 pc, cannot comment on xbox use. There's many features it has that work only with xbox.
With PC, it's a normal controller but you can map the extra back buttons (great for rutter control or emergency break).

The Recon controller is worth every penny and actually a steal at $60. It has pro controller features ( minus trigger stops) at a value price. Build quality is very good as well. Everything just feels rock solid. The audio enhancements being at your fingertips are the icing on the cake. No more fumbling on a attached inline control or headset itself to mute or adjust the volume. Just a pleasure to use and I recommend to anyone that doesn't mind using a wired controller.

This is truly one of the best wired controllers I've ever had. Buttons are super responsive, feedback is satisfying, and I've had some of the best multiplayer experiences with this controller. Also, the grip on the sides is an underrated aspect. Overall, the best wired controller I've had.
