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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Great controller that I like better than official

    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.

    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.

    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

    Loved that the controller could connect to my PC so I could play all my Steam games with it. The grips are a nice material and the thumbsticks feel very responsive and smooth. A great buy and would recommend snagging this during a sale, very worth it.

    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.
