    With all fhe extra settings for your headset it helps bring out the surround sound feeling. Also has two mappable buttons that help improve gameplay when playing competitively.

    Haven't used this much but wanted a controller for my PC gaming computer. Good ergonomics and the buttons are where you need them to be. Decent price and of good quality. Would recommend for the average gamer.

    Great bang for the buck. I used a regular Xbox series x controller to start but wanted the additional mappable buttons so I bought this one. Works very well but feels kinda cheap in your hand. Does what it’s supposed to do so I guess you get what you pay for.

    Bought this to play COD and get the bunny hop down and it got me from bronze to diamond in 2 weeks! The button mapping is a little hard to figure out (watch a YT video) but its worth the extra step

    Too many bells and whistles to keep track of.

    Overly complex, has pre-mapped control assists already built in. I'm a lifelong gamer, I play all kinds of stuff (including first person shooters, which tend to require more technical controls) and I honestly felt like the controller had -too many- bells and whistles, to the point where it was kinda hard to manage all the stuff it can do, and I wasn't going to use about 3/4 of the controller's capabilities.

    I enjoyed the value of the controller and how it allows you to map two extra buttons on the rear. However, i feel the mappping of those buttons are too difficult than they need to be.

    3 months and power jack failed

    First off, I want to say I loved this controller until it failed. The ergonomics of it, the customization, the paddles, and responsiveness, all for $60. But I was expecting it to AT LEAST last 6 months before experiencing at fatal failure. I highly recommended this controller to my Twitch following in those first few months of owning it, because I loved it so much. However, I can't recommend it at this point with only a 3 month lifespan. I take very good care of my equipment. I clean my controller nightly after playing. I make sure not to put excess pressure on the power cable connected, to ensure it does not damage the input jack or the cable. I unplug the power cable when I am done playing. Unfortunately, the input jack still failed in less than 3 months. I purchased on 8/30/2021 and the controller began disconnecting during competitive matches in Rocket League. I tried other USB-C cables to make sure it wasn't just a failure of the OEM power cable, but the issue continued. The jack itself wiggles inside the controller and is loose, so the failure is quite evident. I have sent a service request to Turtle Beach, and hopefully they will address this issue. If they do, I will gladly amend this review, and give the replacement another chance to impress me as much as the first one did.
