Great design, poor quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I normally love Turtle Beach products but this one is a disappointment. It was great at first, but after being dropped a single time it’s no longer functional.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this controller for my son's birthday. He started having trouble with it 3 weeks after purchasing it. Now it won't work at all, right after the return date wouldn't allow it. Our family has spent a lot of money recently at est but, & throughout the entire year.

Good inexpensive paddle controller.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works really well. Paddles are responsive and easy to map. Mute button really helpful in MW2 with silencing myself to avoid prox chat. The capture button is nice to get clips fast without having to delay gameplay.
I would recommend this to a friendDon’t buy!

Only Held Up for 3 Months.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After just three months, this controller's triggers both broke within the same week. The right trigger was the first to go - it started clicking and would have what felt like a second actuation point it would go into. It was annoying, but playable. Just a few days later the left tigger no longer registers any input at all and it feels totally fine. I wouldn't say I'm rougher than normal with controllers playing FPS, but I've never had a regular trigger break, only a hair trigger switch on another controller.

||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked great at first, but within a few months buttons started not responding well and joystick drift started. I've cleaned and recalibrated it to no effect. The drift is so bad now that I'm not gonna be able to keep using it at all.

DO NOT BUY - Poor Quality Control
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We returned the first controller, because the first day it kept turning off in the middle of a game. Every 10 minutes, it would shut off, then we would have to unplug it, and plug it back in. Best Buy provided a replacement controller at the store. Now here it is a little over three months later, and the same thing is now happening to the second controller. DO NOT BUY. We are two for two with defective controllers. What a waste of money!

Money Saved.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These controllers keep them close to the unit, the cordless have been lost, misplaced, and broken because they travel the house. So thankful to get corded controllers.

Poor quality.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a nice controller, which is why I bought it for my son. The problem is it randomly disconnects even though it is wired. Not worth the money even though it was on sale.

Go get the PowerA Spectra Infinity Enhanced Wired
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not a fan. Feels clunky, it’s super confusing, and there are no trigger locks for a quicker trigger pull, which for the price there should be. I ended up buying the ‘PowerA Spectra Infinity Enhanced Wired’ and couldn’t be happier. Save yourself the trip back to return it and buy the spectra. You’re welcome

I would recommend this to a friend1 month controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Broke after 1 month of use. Extremely cheap feeling and setup. The modes make no sense and don't work properly. Very upset. But should yours last more than a month it's a decent value.
