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.

So good. Light feel. Very responsive on pc. Little difficult to learn to bind. Natural good feel. Better than pro fusion. Usb c connection makes for a sturdy connector.

The controller feels good in hands and has a lot of good features such as the mappable back buttons or EQ modes. The only gripe I have with the controller is how somewhat complex it is to configure the back buttons and audio settings. Make sure to hold on to the Quick Start Guide that comes in the box, you're going to need it.

It’s great but the only thing.. and it maybe in my part but I rolled the control in the wire and the end tread became a little undone. But it is great. Takes any headphones or earphone to another level!

This was a gift for a serious gamer. He loved it and said it was way better than the controller that came with his Xbox S
Thank you Best buy for making us both happy.

Amazing controller for the price. It gave my cheapest $25 Turtle beach headset features only found in more expensive models.
The integrated audio controller is placed perfectly for use with your thumbs and doesnt disrupt gameplay at all.
Highly recommend all around!

I can't believe I'm saying this but I love this controller more than my Xbox one. The only thing that I slightly dislike on this is the fact that it is not wireless. It comes with a 10' long cable (a braided USB-C to USB-A) which is more than enough for me but I'm accustomed to play with the wireless ones. So it was little hard for me initially to get used to it. Controller feels great and seems to work perfectly with my PC. The controller feels great in hand and buttons are solid. There's a lot of value in this controller with features such as textured grip, programmable buttons, Series X Share button, and the built in audio controls. Connecting this controller to my Xbox was a breeze and I was able to get it to work easily. It was practically plug and play. This controller has amazed me in it's quality and feel overall. The programmable buttons on the rear can even be programmed to a sequence of buttons rather than a single input as well! The vibration motors work great and it's super comfortable. It truly feels like an Xbox One controller (honestly better due to the grippy texture of the rear plate. It feels like mid-weight as it is not too heavy nor too light. Nice clicky buttons, good spring on the controller paddles. I used it to play Metal Gear Solid V game and I can't tell how many times those two buttons on the rear of the controller have come in handy. It's literally a game changer. I cannot speak for long term use and how well it holds up, but out of the box it feels super high quality compared to the cheaper controllers as well as the official Xbox and PlayStation controllers. The more I use it the more I fall in love with it. Turtle beach is a renowed company and it has lived up to its expectations. Good quality controller, sturdy, very responsive buttons... over all very nice quality. And this comes from an avid gamer, and one who has bought other 3rd party controllers online, which were usually subpar. Feels exactly like an xbox one controller except the handles are textured and easier to hold onto for longer periods of time. So far, I couldn't be happier with this. I waited an entire week and have used this controller pretty heavily before I could write a review because I wanted to be thorough. Well here you go, my honest opinion: 5 out of 5 stars!

USB c port was in bad condition it was bent where it plugs in but I had a million other backups so it wasn’t a deal breaker, the controller feels great to use
