The "S" button is SO AMAZING
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.OMG, the "S" button that you can see above the Xbox button is SO, SO AMAZING!!!! It makes everything louder, more clear, and everything has an extra pop, an extra touch of awsome-ness!!! If that turns out to be too loud, too intense for you, you can turn it off and use one of the many other sound presets. Also, the vibration feature is noticeably stronger than a standard controller, since it's wired it sends more electricity to the rumble vibration motors.

Good, durable, lasts about a year heavy use/abuse
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Second time I'm purchasing this control for my boyfriend, he's an avid ADHD gamer and goes the the motions with the control quickly and sometimes presses the buttons harder than he thinks but lasts about a year for him, taking into account we have cats that knock this thing around and caused drag on the previous one.

Great controller
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After a few weeks of usage . The controller feels still good and no stick drift . The sound amplifier on the controller really helps me locate my enemies on the battlefield. Im a fps player so its really great having a built in EQ in your controller and not having to buy a seperate one

Worth every penny
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like this controller its probably the lightest xbox controller out there besides nacon pro compact. Its so light i refuse to use it on certain games cause im afraid ill break like with boxing or mlb the show when i pitch so i use the thrustmaster on that but by far this one is my fav. The regular xbox controllers are straight trash, my xbox next gen is barely 8 months old and ive gone through 6 xbox controllers and im not going for 7

Nice controller
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Controller feels good. Select button feels to close to the main button. Other buttons feel too small for adult hands.

Feature-packed but broke in a week.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The rumble/feedback stopped working 1 week after purchase, so I cannot rate this any higher. It also seemed to lose USB-connectivity when restating my computer, and I had to unplug-replug it in. When it did work, it performed well. Button/trigger action is good, rear-button mapping is easy, sound passthrough worked great. It's very light. I had been using a PowerA Fusion, which is a bit heavier and felt more substantial than the Turtle Beach, but that is personal preference. It has a lot of features for the low price, and if it hadn't stopped rumbling, I probably would still be using it, but after it broke I returned it and went back to the PowerA.

Awesome for the Price!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've never been so happy that I bought a controller. I don't make use of all the headset features, the the controller stands on its own as a functional, sturdy, and responsive gamepad. The two back buttons were a fantastic bonus for games like fortnite that often require a lot of simultaneous movement and inputs as they allow you to access your face buttons while keeping your thumbs on the joysticks.

Affordable controller with buttons on the back
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For 60 dollars you get a great controller that offers audio presets found on turtle beach headsets for 1/3 of the price. Pair this up with the recon headset that just came out and you have a great affordable bundle . Let’s be honest, most high end controllers break under a few months use, this price justifies the product as well as the paddles on the back . If it ever breaks, ehh it was 60 bucks, buy another !

Good for what I use it for
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Controller works good, the price was good. The only reason for four stars is that i have had it for about a month and started with a left to right drift.
