Customers are saying
Customers frequently mention the high-quality build, ease of use, and satisfying feel of the Recon controller, particularly praising its remappable buttons and comfortable grip. However, some users reported issues with stick drift and occasional connection problems, especially when used with PCs. A few also noted that the controller is wired and that some users found the bumpers and triggers to be less responsive than expected. Overall, the positive feedback on the controller's design and features outweighs the negative comments regarding functionality.

Good, but take care of it.
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this in August of 2021, searching for a new controller to game on PC. I was looking specifically for a wired controller because using plain Xbox wireless controllers that I had lying around simply ruined the USB port connections to the charging cables. Long story short, controller feels good. Shaped a bit differently, but going in blindly it is the Xbox controllers. Buttons have good travel, textured triggers feel exactly the same (to me), and the back buttons did get used. This surprised me as I figured it was more of a gimmick than anything else. Now, as of this review (~6 months in), there is q major issue with joystick drift. Specifically, when in game, trying to move a character forward is equal to running in knee-deep water. It's constantly fighting back and menu selection is like playing a game of roulette. I've gotten into competitive gaming sessions and dropped it on numerous occasion, but that is the extent of the physical abuse. No attempt to boomerang the thing out the window. Maybe it was just an issue I've experienced, but it is a major pain because now I've got to buy another controller. All in all, I'd recommend it regardless. Especially with the features built-in like the integrated DAC and mappable buttons. But your mileage may vary, as with potentially any controller.

Good, Affordable Pick for PC Gaming
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The cord is nice and long and made to a high quality. The headphone Jack can be a little funky, but when it works it works awesome with the surround sound setting on the controller. The controller looks great, and is very light too. The Xbox button sadly doesn’t light up though, so at times that makes it look a little “fake” per say?! Overall a very good controller for a pc or for an Xbox if your Xbox is nearby where you sit down to play games.

Very ergonomic with a slick look
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I cant say I use the controls at the top very much as I use this for PC and so don't need to but its a cool feature. The controls and grip are VERY comfortable. I would say the price is perfect. This company has another version of controller for $200 and best buy sells generic controllers for much less. The price is the perfect middle ground for someone looking for something better than generic but still affordable.

DON'T BUY WITHOUT 2 YEAR PROTECTION PLAN
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to try a controller w/paddles for Xbox without spending a lot. This had decent reviews and was cheap. Bought December 2024. Was great at first... 2 months later, it's unresponsive & completely unusable. Lifetime: 12/10/24 - 2/22/25 ----------------------------------------------------------------- MAJOR ISSUES: 1. Jump scare white noise (started within 1st month) *** You're in the middle of gaming, having a good time with your friends... Out of nowhere the game + chat audio completely cuts out and is replaced with an abrasive, constant, extremely loud white noise that won't stop until you unplug your controller. I'm talking YOUR EARS RING afterwards.*** --- Happened numerous times mid game + in lobby. --- Became more frequent over time. --- Horrible experience every time. 2. Controller stops working (started within 1st month) *** You're in the middle of a gunfight trying to clutch up for your team. Out of nowhere your controller stops working entirely. Your gun is still shooting at the enemy, but none of your buttons are responding. You end up losing the game.*** --- Controller is unresponsive and unusable now --- Happened occasionally at first --- Over time, worsened and became more frequent: Initially, unplugging the cord + plugging it back in would resolve the issue. Then, had to restart Xbox on top of that, then multiple Xbox restarts, then controller resets, new cables, etc. It got to the point where it'd take 20-40 minutes of troubleshooting for the controller to become responsive again... Only for it to fail as soon as I started playing again.*** ----------------------------------------------------------------- It's a shame really. This controller could've been great. It feels very nice in my hands. The audio customization features are awesome when paired with my turtle beach headphones. The buttons were durable. I had no stick drift issues of any kind. It truly was perfect for a few weeks. If you're going to buy this controller, buy the 2 year geek squad protection so you can get a replacement when it breaks.
